  Hi doofdaddy

  I live in the homeland of Dr Who, not the States so I remember him well

  I only remember back to the seventies though - that tune used to freak me out then - but probably because I associated it with daleks and cybermen lol!

  To The Christians On This Here Board

  2. friends

  i really appreciate your expressions of faith and your calm, rational demeanor amidst the heckling and baiting that often erupt on here.. some of you have been in the wt, others of you may not have even seen the inside of a kh.. my question, how do you maintain your sense of balance when things get really heated?.

  i know prayer, meditation, and endurance are the hallmarks of being christian, but do you ever get tired of it all?.

  please, i'm being very sincere here.. thanks to all.. sylvia.

  Hi Sylvia

  For me, it depends on what is being discussed and what kind of a mood I'm in lol!

  I've learned not to allow myself to be baited. It sometimes becomes quite obvious that someone asking a 'sincere' question is absolutely not sincere at all. Other times, people are sincere - but they don't seem to really want to try to understand or even listen to what you're saying, they already have their own boxed-in opinions and aren't open enough to listen to what others are saying. As soon as I get a whiff of either of these, I step out of the discussion - why waste time on peope who aren't at all interested?

  I've been 'shouted at' and insulted here more times than I can count.

  I will not be baited, or bullied into accepting another's opinion any more.

  And yes, it cuts both ways - some Christians can be equally guilty!

  I kinda wondered Grace.

  Not many Christians use 'undeserved kindness' instead of 'grace'!! I do quite like the phrase myself. Although it does seem in a way to downplay the immensity of God's blessings, it does make transparent the fact that there isn't asingle thingwe can do to earn them.

  Has anyone looked at the tract page?

  http://shehkinahlightoutreach.webs.com/tract.htm

  They use 'undeserved kindness' instead of 'grace' - although the verses aren't from the NWT. This might make the tract a great handout for JWs maybe?

  I wonder what's the background of those behind the ministry - maybe they have an interesting story to tell!

  Tubular Bells was Mike Oldfield.

  Oops yes it was lol! I was thinking of 'Oxygene' and got 'em muddled up!

  If the UN did it, it would only be a resolution anyway - anyone would be free to ignore it, as many countries do with many other resolutions.

  Here in the UK it is illegal to incite religious hatred

  unless you're a radicalised, asylum-seeking Islamist eh?!

  aligot, maybe to be aloof with one's own flesh and blood is the trade-off in the search for excellence/perfection?

  Sounds a bit like JW ethic doesn't it? They can attain their goal but at what personal cost?

  Neither film would be the same without his music.

  I so agree with you Tex. His music added so much more effect to the films and screenplays he wrote scores for - a sign of someone incredibly gifted. His music almost drew you into the scenes themselves, different to 'just' watching, you could in a way become a part of the movie.

  I'm glad he passed on his gift to his two sons as well. Jean-Michel's album, 'Tubular Bells' is one of my earliest musical memories.
