In the spirit of match-making, who do you have a crush on?

by MsMcDucket in

eh heh?

i know this is either going to be one of those topics where people consider it a popularity contest or something....i'm just being an imp and seeing if anyone will be forward enough to tell about the person that they would like to date.. me, i'm married so that leaves me out!

but i have seen a lot of beefcakes on here!

And you too, Lisa - what a pleasure to speak with you!

Questions

by server in

i greet everyone, .

there are some questions that i want to ask you all, and would really be very thankful if there comes out someone to respond it purely.

1- adultery [even looking lust for a woman (naturally for a woman to look lust for man)] is forbidden by lord, and jesus came to fulfil the law, and also in deuteronomy from 18th to 25th chapter, this sin and the punishment to it is being explained very briefly, now why many of those people who attribute themselves to the lord christ are completely in a adultery shaped life?

Nicolaou:

Hi! No, I'm not Cypriot, I'm a Brit ex-pat in Pafos. Been here about a year now.

I'd be delighted to meet up to discuss the Keo - Leon - Carlsberg question. Adequate sampling is necessary, of course!

What is your town or area's claim to fame?

every where you live, the local area has something about it that is either famous for something good or something bad.

as an example, you go to one town and it may have the historial site of a famous war battle.

you go to another an it might be the place something was invented, or the birthplace of someone famous.

Paphos is fairly ancient (3000 years or so, and the latest excavations are looking at buildings about 5000 years before that). Was a port harbour since pre-Roman times (now leisure and fishing).

Whole town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Mentioned in Acts 13 (Paul & Barnabas - the latter was a Cypriot).

Now a major tourist resort suffering from over-development (this started after the 1974 war/invasion). Has a substantial British (and other european) ex-pat population.

don't know if this is done already, but here is a pretty neat way for us all to map out where we are so if anyone is travelling, they know who is in the area...if anyone thinks this is a good idea, feel free to click and update!

edited to add...it has chat, too.

Seems a good idea to me! (but you've got to scroll the map a fair way east fo find me (eastern Med.)!

The Bible In Lego

by serotonin_wraith in

the bible can be quite a hefty read, so if you want to read it why not do yourself a favour and have a look at the lego version?

if only they'd studied this version at the hall, i would have actually paid attention.

Joe Grundy

Sorry, Steph, which bits are out of context?

I don't really see how there can be objections to the site - all quotes are (as far as I can see) accurate, and it's purely a visual representation.

Would I really want to be in the "new world" anyway...

this morning in the shower i was thinking about why it is that jw's preaching (like i used to do) about a paradise with no wickedness really bothers me.

if jw's are right and god is going to destroy the majority of people so that just those who happened to live at the right time, in the right place, etc.

can live forever with a couple of men telling me, a woman what to do, no thanks.

Joe Grundy

No.

It's an excellent site, and I often give links to various bits of it on other boards I post on.

This bit is useful for couples:

What would you give up for ...

by serendipity in

love?

i listened to the radio this morning and that was the topic for discussion.

many women called in to share their sacrifices for love.

Joe Grundy

I believe that a loving relationship is worth more than anything else, so I'd give up almost anything. But I also agree that in a truly loving relationship, it's more a matter of compromise and agreement.

But yes, my first statement stands. I'd give up anything.
