at john 10:30 jesus said " i and the father are one" what was he implying?
was it a claim to be almighty god?
what is your thoughts and why?
Defd, are you into suspense or what, just spit it out man.
earlier this week, i picked up the re-release of the t.rex movie "born to boogie".
i absolutely love it and have been watching it non-stop!.
tonight i'm going out to karaoke and i'll be singing nothing but t.rex tunes.. any other t.rex fans out there?
Pres, the opening sequence of Billy Elliot to cosmic dancer was just awesome.

i am of the "born into it but got out of it before baptism class"......listening to so many of the horror stories on this site, i often feel like we are the 'lucky ones'..... we realized at a very young age how wrong and absurd this belief system was and ran away before making the psychological investment of baptism while simultaneously avoided the disastrous consequences of getting df'd......are we the minority here???
just curious!
Got another one here. Born into it from day one but never took the plunge. Thankful everyday that I didn't, it has made family life so much better.

bowling for columbine did it to the gun culture.
super size me did it to fast food.
Never heard of it but I am going to check it out.
the higher education thread got me thinking about the thing i loathe, despise, hate with the intensity of a thousand suns about the wbts, namely, the loss of my childhood.
i remember when engaging in blistering arguements with my parents about being able to play sports or take up an instrument or dream of being an astronaut, or whatever thing the society frowned on that i wasn't allowed to do at the end i would always get the same final reply, "when you are 18 and out of the house you can do whatever you want.
i can go back and play pop warner football, or little league baseball, or play in the school band, etc?
Joel, yours is another sad story to add to the list. I wonder if there is one person who was raised in dubland that has left that doesn't feel their childhood was jacked.

Excellent post Darth. I have done what I can to move on and not be a whiner and I have had a good life and filled in as much as I can. But try as I might I can't ever truly fill that hole that was my childhood, its like an old wound, healed yes, but there is a scar there. My life isn't screwed because of that, but the fact that it happened still sucks.

Tetra,
I hear you. Man do I hear you. I remember sitting on the side of a hill that overlooked the athletic field by my house, watching the kids, all the kids I went to school and grew up with having practice for pop warner football bawling my eyes out because I couldn't join them. And you know what the real kick in the butt was? It was a meeting night so I couldn't even stay and watch the game that followed the practice.
The caulksuckers, I hate em.

Chris, I think its worth it to get your Ph.D. After all, especially if the atheists are right, all we have at the end of the line is the sum of our memories and accomplishments, build as many as you can in my opionion.
