  do you have any funny pet pics?

  misanthropic's puppy pics reminded me of a picture i had of our cat chillin' in a sink.

  it's ironic in that she is extremely afraid of water - even little drops that splash on her.

  The answer to how this will work is the answer to how any Bible thing (or unexplained thing) is explained...

  It's magic!

  No offense but it seems to me like "Well the frying pan was pretty hot so let me see what the fire feels like."

  I believe it's the organisation of worship that hurts people, not the act. It's sometimes difficult to believe in something if there isn't a group of people to share in it and make us feel part of something. But when people get involved, peoples opinions get involved.

  Just my opinion.

  Sin didn't kill Adam...the food did

  by onacruse in

  harp of god 39. eden contained perfect food that would have sustained the perfect man and he would not have died had he remained in eden, unless jehovah had put him to death in some direct manner.

  but god drove him out of eden, took him away from the perfect food, caused him to gather his food from among the thorns and thistles and from other imperfect elements of the earth that were found outside of eden; and in this condition he continued to sicken and to die until at the end of the period of 930 years he was dead.. .

  this theme is repeated numerous times throughout the 20s and 30s.
