  Is Walmart right or wrong?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here in quebec, walmart decided to close a walmart store because the 190 employees wanted to become unionized.

  walmart said that they weren't making money at that store, and that's why they are closing.

  we all know that the real reason why walmart wants to close is because the employees want to be unionized.. in this day and age, do you think that walmart is right, or the employees?.

  reason on this....

  by myelaine in

  i just wanted to share something with you that i believe is very important.

  2 tim 3:16 states: all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

  now we are told that in every thing we do, every day of our lives we can turn to gods word to help us, to equip us, to feed us for every good work.

  is there anywhere i can get just the facts about current issues and where both presidential candidates stand on each?.

  it seems like everywhere i look there is someone or something trying to sway me one way or the other.

  my husband is a head strong republican while others i know are active democrats.

  In the aftermath of our shattered faith, for those who also wonder.....

  by Frannie Banannie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's been over 12 yrs since my df'ing.

  yes, i forced 'em to do it for what i know now were pointless reasons....but mainly, at the time, i thought it was because the heirarchy of the wts doesn't measure up to scriptural standards....i wasn't wrong for they are very judgmental hate-mongers, manipulative and overbearing....but i've come to learn so much more..... .

  after years of traumatic disillusionment, i've begun to wonder if there really is a god/goddess, etc....or is this a state of mind/belief system that mankind has created to explain the inexplicable, answer the unanswerable, to put a spiritual bandaid on the tortured in mind, body and/or spirit.....and yet, tho our bodies wear out eventually, we are wonderfully "made"....and so many things here on earth are sympatico with our human existence and temperament.....yet....at the same time, we have adverse reactions to many things, too, whether vegetable, animal, mineral or even spiritual.....is this all only a contrivance of our imaginings, the result of our teachings among ourselves?.

  Banned From the Bible

  2. bible

  i may be late in seeing this special on the history channel, but did anyone else see this show.

  it was about books being banned from the bible that further explains events that may or may not have happened the way it is written in the bible.

  this show peaked my curiousity and i went to the library and found the book who wrote the bible?
