  Thanks LB,

  I am in awe with sunrises & sunsets. I have hundreds of pictures, I have been known to just pull over while driving and watch the sun set (or rise). I see them as Gods canvas. I am closest to God at those times. It shows me his goodness, love and beauty. I have a scanner but can't use it because it sucks the power out of my computer, something about fighting for dominance? I have a whole roll of pictures of the sky, last month while driving to St. Louis with hubby. He got so mad at me cause I kept rolling the window down to take pictures (doesn't share my passion of the sky) of storm clouds. It was awesome. Hours of silver linings & sun beams. I digress, sorry. Thanks again, I love them.

  PS: yours too KKLUV155

  Why do men have nipples???

  by Celtic in

  i always did wonder about this, i mean, what function do they have and further, if, just supposing that we are made in the image of god, does god himself have the equivalent of nipples?

  any insights proffered?

  celty .

  dsgal,

  No womb. If God could make a full grown man he could make a little blobb that just grows. Wombs only came into existance when Eve came along and God retired. Adam and Eve wanted company so they asked God for more like them. God said "Sorry guys you're on your own now I'm on vacation". God said "Oh alright, this one last thing, I'll give you a womb and you can make your own". Adam thought about it awhile, and told God "I think it would be to painful if I had them, give the womb to Eve". Eve thought about it and told God "Uh....I don't think so, sounds really painful to me give the womb to Adam". God was really anxious to get on with his vacation so like any good father, he flipped a coin, Eve lost, end of story. So guys consider yourselves lucky, if it weren't for the toss of a coin, and a little testosterone, you'd have a utarus too. (and not just nipples)

  dsgal,

  How do we know Adam was not a fetus? Maybe he wasn't created a fully developed male?

  Just wondered.

  i have not been a very active poster lately [have you missed me?].

  there has been plenty of drama in my life the last few weeks, and my time has been absorbed by it.

  my grandma is seriously ill, and has but a few more months to live.

  We have missed you. Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. You sit right up front with the rest of the family. You've earned that right. The Jerks. Last I heard funerals were open seating. It would also be nice if you could get up and say a few loving words about her. It sounds like you have a loving family (no matter what). Our thoughts will be with you over the next few weeks. Give your Mom and Grandma a hug from us for being sane.

  May our LOVING God bless you and comfort you in your time of pain.

  Two Witnesses Needed for Molestation?

  by LovesDubs in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  it just occurred to me, that if you need two witnesses to a molestation...doesnt god count as a witness?

  hasnt he, the holy spirit been a witness for jesus?

  then the jws stand that they need two witnesses and dont have two is a lie!!!

  "25 committee meetings"

  by breeze in

  when i was seventeen i was very active, plans for bethel, service etc., then i got into trouble.. i was sooo in love but my girl friend changed her mind.

  i could not go on without being honest with the congregation and went to the elders about our situation, that was a big mistake.

  my girl friend was associated with another congregation so we met with her congregation and then mine.....back and forth....this became brutal, my parents couldn't believe they could not come to a decision..... .
