  Now you've chosen to ignore the counsel given at Ecclesiastes 7:2-4.

  Too right!! That guy would have to be one of the all-time great party-poopers.

  Anyway - I'm off to get completely sloshed. Merry Saturnalia!

  JW usage of Jehovah

  by Kymegg in

  i have been talking with two jw ladies and we got on the subject of the name of jehovah.

  i was trying to make the point that they cannot claim to be the only "true" religion.

  at first they wanted to start pointing out why they felt they were.

  Kymegg,

  The god of the bible also had another personal name apart from Yahweh.

  El was the name of god long before the word transformed into the generic noun meaning "god". El was the head of the Canaanite pantheon of gods and was the name of the original chief god of Israel.

  Exodus 6:2,3 identifies the old god El Shadday with Yahweh "And God said to Moses, 'I am Yahweh. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, then to Jacob as El Shadday, but by my name Yahweh I did not make myself known to them"

  This verse shows the patriarchs did not refer to god as Yahweh, but worshipped the Canaanite god El.

  Hi there Coeur,

  I did what can only be termed a 'quick fade' where I just stopped going to meetings, moved out and never talked about my reasons for leaving with any one except my parents. I was lucky that I had someone to stay with till everything calmed down.

  That's a bit strange. I would have thought a team like the L.A.Rams would be supported by people from L.A. so if the team then moves to St. Louis and plays it's games in St. Louis I would have thought no-one would watch them.

  It would be like Chelsea (of London) moving to Manchester and calling themselves Manchester City. Actually, that's not a bad idea!

  Double Edge -

  RAMS! Have followed them since they were here in L.A.

  Excuse my ignorance but where have the L.A.Rams gone ? Do you support the team because of the city or because of the name?

  Thanks.

  Ian Huntley - GUILTY verdict returned.

  by nicolaou in

  this represented a change in his previous instructions to the jury that they should return a unanimous verdict.

  it seems that perhaps 1 or 2 jurors were refusing to accede to the majority view and so this new instruction was intended to overcome this 'obstacle' in the interests of achieving a verdict.

  it didn't take long.

  From what I gather the police force at Soham say they faxed Humberside police the two names Huntley and Nixon to check. Humberside police say they only received the name 'Nixon' to check. The faxes have since gone through the shredder so no-one knows which name or names were there to check!

  Wouldn't ID cards with DNA, fingerprint and other information stop this kind of tragedy?

  He had also changed his name (from Nixon) and then was able to get the job of school caretaker.

  Checks on people just aren't good enough. The school sent his name to the police for checks but they came back negative. Two police forces should have come up with the information that he was on the sex offenders list and should not have got the caretakers job.

  The police only searched on the name 'Nixon'.

  I've just heard of his previous record - 4 indecent assaults on girls aged 12-15 and four accusations of rape, all over a 6 year period!

  And Maxine Carr acted as his alibi in the last rape case.

  GUILTY.

  Anyone else think his 'e-mail' seemed a little made-up?
