  no, not to the jws, never again.

  it was always my ambition pre - jw to be an english teacher.

  i have a degree in english, but i thought it was too late, after so many years, to pursue my original career plans.

  Great news! I've read too many people on here complain that "it's too late to go back to college." You're pursuing your dream!

  the cartoon-rage continues.

  in syria, protesters have now burned the norwegian and danish embassys to the ground.

  the latest news is that they are rioting in copenhagen, denmark, where 200 moslems have stormed the sentral station (the railwaystation), and throwing bricks and rocks.

  Hmm.... I've been censored. My post of the "offending" cartoons, which was at the top of this page, is now completely gone.

  What 'Brokeback Mountain' and JWs have in common

  the story is beyond excellent.

  every line is so well crafted and the story, published in the new yorker magazine in 1997, is much more than two young men falling in love.

  one of the major themes of the movie is fear.

  Can a cartoon trigger WW3?

  can a cartoon trigger ww3?

  do not underestimate the latest furor over the 'hostile' mohammad cartoon published in european newspapers recently.. in case you've been out of contact, newspapers in denmark, norway, france and germany have published a cartoon of the prophet mohammad wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb with a burning fuse.

  the cartoon is offensive to muslims the world over since the prophet may not be displayed in public places, let alone caricaturized.

  LOL... he said DONG.

  Seriously though, WWI and WWII were wars between pretty well matched opponents. The western world fighting a war against the Islamic states of the world would be a joke.

  The thread asked a question as to how you feel about gay marriage and I spoke my most honest feelings based on what my faith say's. But you people get so critical towards those who choose to follow what the bible teaches us.

  
  

  
  oldflame: I have no problem with people who take a religious view and oppose homosexuality. I do have a problem with folks who have such views and then try to force them on the whole of society via the government. The bible certainly tells you to oppose evil, but nowhere in the bible does it suggest using government to force those views on other people (at least in the new testament). Just show me one passage where Jesus says "use government and throw people in jail or force them at gunpoint, if necessary, to agree with us."

  I support government intervention to prevent and punish harm to individuals, but government shouldn't be in the business of punishing or prohibiting activities that consenting adults engage in.

  I find it sad that human sexuality is degraded and made to feel dirty by a bunch of extremely old men in Brooklyn.

  Living

  by joelbear in

  there is only one law, love your neighbor as yourself.. very simple words that get buried under lots of gobbledegook.

  we strain to rid ourselves of the guilt of the shoulds that were cast upon us throughout our life.. we run our lives based on these shoulds and apply these shoulds to others.. there are two parts to the law.

  love your neighbor gets most of the attention.

  I agree! The golden rule is the simplest and most powerful moral guide out there!
