  hi ppl!

  since creation was perfect before sin and isnt after there is the question what did "sin" to us?

  it made us imperfect!

  'God' has nothing to do with it. Sin is a man made concept. It's a control mechanism invented by cynical men who wished to control other people for their own selfish ends.

  Heightened Threat Levels in Europe

  by slimboyfat in

  the english are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from 'miffed' to 'peeved.

  ' soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to 'irritated' or even 'a bit cross.

  ' londoners have not been 'a bit cross' since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

  Slim!
  
  You are a confounded bounder Sir. Our propensity to drink tea in adversity is no laughing matter. The great British nation cannot function without tea. Without Britain (the cornerstone of Europe), the whole continent will flounder.
  
  Britain will of course address the terrorist situation by imprisoning without charge, (currently for 28days but we're working on increasing this to 90 days as soon as those bothersome human rights chappies aren't looking), anyone who prefers other drinks, who smells of onions or garlic, or who prefers baseball to cricket or who calls football soccer.
  
  The bit about the French was funny though!

  That poem is just simply cringemaking Loosie. Thanks for posting it. It reminded me about how glad I am that I'm not a witness anymore.

  i apologize if this is a duplicate post.

  i think the part where they were ordered to hand over confidential files is big news.

  Wouldn't it be brilliant if this set a sort of precedent and the Watchtower Society had to release the files they hold on child abusers?

  WHY NO MEDIA REPORTS ABOUT JW CHILD ABUSE SETTLEMENTS???

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  big news that the catholic arch diocese in california has settled a lawsuit of over 600 million dollars to victims of abuse.. shouldn't the media be telling the story of the recent watchtower settlement???.

  there should be an investigative story on this i would think.. the witnesses always talk about being persecuted, yet they are getting a free pass on this and this is pretty big.

  Ah yes Nathan, but the JWs make such BIG claims about being 'whiter than white' don't they? It would be a pity if the press misses out on this one!

  Thanks for posting this SixofNine, I love a nice 'feelgood' story.
  
  I'm sorry your mother is shunning you BFD after you were so very kind to her. It's natural to feel angry but at least you can be sure you did the right thing. You should be proud of yourself. You were a good son to her. Maybe she'll realise that one day.
  
  Best wishes

  Parents - Be Vigilant as Regards those Toys.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  2. experiences

  i purchased a small green dinosaur for my almost 3 year old grandson yesterday.. it was one of those real 'rubbery' ones, soft to the touch, about 6 inches in length.

  in the center of the belly of the beast is a small hole that was created by the injection press that produced it.

  [for those in the know, a sprew hole].

  A salutary lesson Jeff. I'm glad your grandson is okay.
  
  When my children were small I always used to give toys a good once over before I bought them. You know, giving the eyes a good pull; checking any fur would not come out easily. Got some funny looks but better safe than sorry eh?
  
  Well done for posting this. What happened in your case sounds like sabotage to me. Maybe you ought to contact Trading Standards or the equivalent organization for your part of the world.

  you know, vasectomies (require masturbation), tubal ligations, are these a "matter of conscience" (but you better do what we suggest)?

  Very funny Gregor! Your parody of 'Kingdom Speak was really on the ball, I'd read nearly to the end before the penny dropped.
