breaking news today downunder.................... captured terrorists planned to attack sydney's atomic energy facility!
what a target that would be!
thoughts and precautions have always centered on sydney's famous icons, the harbour bridge and the syney opera house.
I agree with Frog and others.
This is all politics...On both sides.
If these terrorists really wanted to mass kill us, they would hit small town water supplies with bacterial agents etc. No security. No one to know. Hundreds of thousands killed over night.
They know that it's the media that they need to stir.
Ditto howard and beazley. Media whores.
What becomes Australia??
.
first of all i find it very hard to pray...i dont like the way we have to talk into the air hoping he is listening.. i dont like the way he expects us to do his will no matter what.. i just dont like god..i hate his way of doing things and i dont like that he has permitted his creation to suffer whilst we are living.. ill never love jehovah
Welcome Saturdaymorningblues
Yes, belief in that god doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Personally, I believe that we are all godlike because we are responsible for our actions in each and every situation.
This gives us a modicom of control of "our" world. Our reaction to what we can't control also sets our emotional state and way of seeing life and the planet.
In other words, love the god which is yourself

i pulled that from another topic because it reminded me of something my mother said to me just before i married my husband.
first let me say that my mother doesnt like my husband.
her dislike for my husband has tempered over the years but it's still there.
Ditto CHL
I remember a jw mother I knew shagging her daughter's husband to be. She was "repentant" and reinstated, while the daughter had a breakdown and was disfellowshipped.
Ahh sweet jw justice
i've decided to put out this topic for some fun after i posted at the simon and garfunkel topic.. anything you want to say on whatever subject: music, movies, life, work, what did our generaton contribute to society, family, grandchildren, your body now heading south, baldness, acceptance of ourselves and shortcomings, more tolerant (or too tired to care?)..
i feel our generation has contributed greatly to medical advances i.e.
replacing worn out joints, etc.
Well I prefer now.
All I remember was the fighting.
Protesting against the Asian war
Getting punched out for long hair and my clothes
Watching unfettered destruction of the planet
Fear and violence over marijuana use
Fear and violence from girls fathers
Junk food and tooth decay
Expensive OS travel
No civil rights for aboriginal people
Snail mail
Polio
Unfettered lies from politicians
Unchecked violence by police
Mind numbing litter on highways
Dog shit everywhere
i love australian rock.
cruel sea, beasts of bourbon, nick cave, the church, dave graney, midnight oil, hell, even early inxs (don't change is one of the best songs ever written) and even some kiwi stuff, like split enz/crowded house.
so, for the ozzies on this board, what is it about oz that gives the music it's distinct sound.
Sadly the Gurus have called it a day but never fear theres lots more happening.
Yes, John Butler Trio are hot.
We can't claim to own Jeff Buckley though, as he was the son of Tim Buckley the god of vocal stretching.
All U.S .
its wednesday evening, i'm alone and in need of distraction and am curious about my new and old fellow posters.
so i was wondering if you would reveal what makes you different from the next person in terms of your hobbies.
what are little known facts about you?
What do I do on a night alone?(recent)
It's early summer here, so probably sit back on the verandah in my $10 garage sale rocking chair, sipping black ale, enjoying the fact that I am allowed time with my own thoughts. Or
Read Jung and put my mind in knots trying to take in the concept of the "collective unconscious" and synchronicity......
i haven't read up on it, and my only exposure to it is a few people that say they believe in it.
correct my amateurish view of it, please.. karma is the overriding force in the universe that keeps the good/evil scales in balance.
if you do something rotten, you'll get something rotten back on you.
My Karma ran over my dogma
omg - can you imagine watching the ems wheeling this man out?
i know it's wrong
man sues home depot after using glue-covered toilet
Man, I need some of that glue that can set in the time of sitting down, realising it's sticky and (attempting to) standing up! What, 1 maybe 2 seconds.
I smell bullshit all around this one.
Sounds like" watching the world" in the awake
.
that you accomplished in the last 24 hours?.
i ask becase i just keep reading lots of gripey posts (with good reason for sure, but i wanted to hear positive stuff no matter how mediocre or ordinary it might sound).. so tell me what was your highspot?
A spur of the moment call to old friends rolled on to become us making enchiladas together and a mad play with their 2 yr old in the back yard.
We talked solid for 4 hrs and I came home to a deep sleep and a dream of my exwife, which opened a cupboard of (forgotten) unresolved stuff that got dusted.
All good
how many of you are ex jw bikers ??
i remember it was frowned upon when i had a bike - risking life and limb on english roads didn't go down too well with some of the more conservative elders.. what kind of bike do you ride ?.
me, i ride a honda goldwing, gl1500 sem - american import.
Yeah, when I was a jw I rode a Triumph Trident I bought for Aus$1,000 in Hong Kong and had it shipped to Australia.
At the end of my jw career, I bought a Triumph Bonneville. Also had numerous four cylinder Hondas over the decades too.
