  the irony would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

  that's right, a country that bans women from driving cars is on the un womens rights commission.

  "electing saudi arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief," .

  i just went to a pre screening of this movie about an adventist guy who didn't want to kill but joined the army as a medic on the front line.

  desmond doss saved 75 men in one operation singlehanded on the island of okinawa where desmond worked lowering men down a 400ft cliff to safety.. i thought this may be of interest to jws because of the pacifist stand they also have.. the movie comes out on the 4 th november..

  It should come with the responsibility to be engaged in politics to ensure that foreign policy and trade policy is built on the principle of avoiding conflict at any and all cost.

  I have to agree with you 100% on this one Simon Hacksaw Ridge is an anti war movie. Since we are talking about the role of churches. Churches should be at the forefront in avoiding the sin of war.

  Amor, The Seventh day adventists have had various opinions on weather to partake in war.

  In the great war 1914 to 18 many adventists took a non combatant stand against war but also 4000 adventists were disfellowshipped in Europe for not taking up arms which led to the formation of the SDA reform movement a church which still exists today.

  In 1972 the official position concerning military service states .

  'The church provides pastoral support to those who conscientiously believe they must defend and protect others as well as those who believe force should never be used and thus cannot serve in the armed forces. These issues are deeply personal and merit much thought.

  The SDAs have also been well represented as chaplains in the military in the USA head of chaplains corps Rear Admiral Barry Black served for many years. In 1992 44 SDA chaplains were serving and most chaplains don't carry guns.

  In 1991 8000 Adventists were serving in the US forces and 2000 participated in the gulf war.

  Much to the regret of anti war Adventists soldiers have come back to welcoming applause in adventist worship services and patriotic accolades in the church publications.

  I'm not sure Desmonds exact thoughts we are all influenced by others by churches and by our own experiences in life. The movie about Desmonds heroism gives some indications of his thoughts about non violence but I will not spoil the movie for you all just go to see it but be warned it's not a movie for the whole family.

  so,we joined a cosplay group.today, we all dressed like pirates and raided the krispy kreme and long john silvers.

  we got to sing, act and entertain children.

  everyone is so nice and it's so much fun.we are able to support many different charities.we have also been able to redefine the words 'meeting' and 'convention'.

  We live in interesting times. The other day the Telegraph newspaper has claimed 70 girls of age 9 to 16 of muslim background have been sent overseas to marry cousins to be raped.

  A poll conducted showed 49% of Australians want muslim immigration stopped. Amazingly 35% of the leftist Greens wanted immigration stopped. Talking to people I believe the figure is higher more like 70% .

  The SBS has no relevance to Australia and let me say Pauline Hansen may in my opinion be wrong on six of her opinions . There are 500 Islamists being watched 24/7 , there are more muslims in ISIS than the Australian army.
