  And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Turkey. Then shalt thou count to three stalks of celery, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Oysters shalt thou not count, neither count thou rolls, excepting that thou then proceed to sourdough. Eggs are right out. Once the onions and herbs, being the flavor, be added, then stuffest thou thy Holy Turkey of Antioch and hurl towards thy guests, who, being hungry in my sight, shall devour it.

  You should become a Bible writer!

  By any chance, were you in Ocean City, Maryland on November 17th? There is an article about this experience on WBOC news internet site. It was an Elsalvadorian man who wanted good luck and prosperiety for his family. After forensics were done examining it, they said they found no human remains inside. It was baked chicken that was found. The cops are not charging him with anything at all. Check out wboc.com for the story.

  Married!? Wow, kinda wondered if they all were from the same hall or not. Wondered, too, if they were all friends in real life or strangers from different halls. Thanks for the news. Is there a way to find out if the kids are still in the org?

  What has Changed the most? This board or your perspective?

  by AK - Jeff in

  we seem to go thru 'phases' here of 'i'm leaving because the board is changing' threads.

  there is certainly a microcosm of social-evolution involved with any structured community, and that evolution may create in certain people a need to 'move on' [though often they are back rather soon after].. my assumption is though - in looking at the past threads and social environment here - that not much has really changed.

  there seems to be a flux of energetic change at times.

  The board changes as we change. The first posts of this board long time ago were made up of those on the way out. Now we are all mostly out.

  Just a tool to enforce the idea that people are sinful and need to be saved. In order to be saved, you must obey men who say how to obey god by following and reading a book written by men. The men who wrote the Bible say God exists. How do we know God exists? The Bible says so. Who wrote the Bible? God did. How do you know? Because Paul, a man, said so.

  Oh, I don't know. I think these threads teach us to be even more accepting of people because it opens up communication about LIFE. We get to know each other better and to know what to say or ask someone. These threads have value! I love it! Oh, sorry, not straight:)

  They were politically minded and had no care whatsoever for anyone who didn't have the potential to make the congregation look good by turning in a ton of hours.

  Why God permits wickedness..the argument and counter logic

  by wherehasmyhairgone in

  when i was a pioneer i used to get the comment a lot, as i am sure most here have.. my stock answer was the analogy.... wt 2002 10/1 page 7 as an example.

  imagine a father allowing his child to go thru a painful operation in-order to get better...hence why god permits suffering.

  anyway i used to trot this out without any counter arguments.. even when i left, it still seemed a reasonable explanations, then something clicked.

  Why does God permit wickedness? Simple, he's not here to stop it. Period. There, I had my dogmatic fit:)

  report: court sentences rape victimfri nov 16, 12:27 am et .

  a saudi court sentenced a woman who had been gang raped to six months in jail and 200 lashes more than doubling her initial penalty for being in the car of a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported thursday.. the decision by the qatif general court came in a case that had sparked rare debate about the kingdom's justice system when it surfaced more than a year ago.. in its decision wednesday, the court also roughly doubled prison sentences for the seven men convicted of raping the 19-year-old woman, the arab news reported on its english-language web site.. according to arab news, the court said the woman's punishment was increased because of "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.".

  she had initially been sentenced to 90 lashes after being convicting her of violating saudi's rigid laws on segregation of the sexes.. under saudi arabia's interpretation of islamic sharia law, women are not allowed in public in the company of men other than their male relatives.. the initial sentences for the men convicted of the gang rape ranged from 10 months to five years in prison.

  I'm not a bigot at all, but this kind of thing makes me really distrust Muslim men. People try to rationalize it down and say that Islam is not bad but peaceful. Bull sh!!
