Hi Es,
Welcome aboard! I visit the site every now and again but don't post much. I'm based in Sydney and have been out for about 4 years now. There's not that many aussies that post on here, just a few. But i think there's are lots of aussie's that visit the site and read but don't post.
How is prisca these days? Been ages since i heard from her. Does she still post on here??

it's now 1:30am at bethel in australia and all is quiet but awaiting the new day when the forecast temperature for this late spring day is: .
updated metropolitan forecast.
australian government bureau of meteorology.
OMG Ozzie... I was expecting some good goss!!
Gawd, i love this heat!
bit of background.
i grew up as a jw i left the church when i was 14 because a ministerial servant who was conducting a one on one baptism study with me said that i couldn't ballance my dreams of being a professional singer with the so called "truth".
i stopped the study and told my mom i no longer wanted to be a witness.
I felt really hurt, and then really empty...
for me, it is "the day before you come" and sometimes when i am very lonely "fernando.
" what's yours ?

Although there are so many classic ABBA songs i think Dancing Queen has to be the stand out!
I thought you were gonna ask about eastern Western Australia...
after hearing the pro's and con's about the movie, i went to see it this afternoon.
i know we all have differing views, but i'm interested in knowing what impression it left you.
for me, i went in with a critical eye and i was emotionally detached from the movie.
Jesus would get whipped by a balrog and gandalf impaled to a staff.
i have just finished reading a book called gender outlaw.
in this book the righter has an opion that gender is based on "moden life" rather then the "human form", ie do you look, act, talk and have the package of a male or female in your current state and even life upbringing - or were we born male or female and that is that.. if we look, act and talk and even have the package of the gender that we insist that we are, does that mean we are male or female ( i say that i am a woman, i have the package of a woman, i look like a woman and i talk like a woman, my drives licence and birth certificate say that im a woman) so what am i ???.
the reason that i am asking this is, i had a visit from a elder (that i have never meet before)and he was talking about my transexuality and the reason i was dfs.
Hi Mystery,
It's good to hear from you.
I personally believe that gender is a function of biology although gender roles do tend to be definied by the society we live in.
I also believe we are a combination of both genders to a degree. Although in most people one of the genders is more dominant. So the gender we usually assoicate with is the more dominant one within us.
Do you associate with one gender more than another, i.e. you feel like a woman, or you feel like a man??
Cheers D.K.
lets face it, the bible does not say and so any explanation is little more than speculation.
those of us here that believe the bible has value can only reason on it as we see fit.
personally, i do accept the scripures but i do not see the need to take all of genesis quite as literally as the wt does.
I don't think the concept of sin applies to angels and spirit creatures in general. Probably only applies to humans. Can an animal sin?? I don't think so.
I don't really believe that according to the bible human's have free will. Maybe the angels do, but definitely not humans. According to the bible god's exact's a price for our actions, especially if they are not according to his desires. So it's definitely not free.
And to make things worse he doesn't accept Visa, Mastercard, Diners or even American Express. Only currency he's interested in dealing with is death. Death of animals (e.g. sacrifices) & death of humans (e.g. flood and Jesus)
Just seems so petty and morbid.

interesting c&p plus link:
this, however, lead to lovelock perceiving the earth as a complete whole.
while on a walk in the countryside in england, lovelock described his hypothesis to his neighbor william golding (author of lord of the flies), and asked advice concerning a suitable name for it.
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it.
you will soon be cordially invited to the kh.
its mem-bore-ial season and the hunt is on.....for you!.
plan your escape today!!!!
I'm taking some guacomole with me this year
