the earth's magnetic field is in a weakening stage right now.

data collected this summer by a european space agency (esa) satellite suggests the field is weakening 10 times faster than scientists originally thought.

if the magnetic field weakens enough, then the earth could be hit with dangerous amounts of solar radiation and cosmic rays .....

New Zealand's best product, takes a few drops of p*ss out of Dolly Parton

being a bit focussed on keeping up with what the comrades are doing in china, i've been missing out what the topp twins are doing in new zealand.

well actually, i was checking a serious essay in a quite serious chinese journal, and suddenly there's a reference to the topp twins.

i did a double take, but then realised that we live in a connected world and you can no longer confine knowledge to any geographical site.. so meet my new discovery, new zealands own- the topp twins:.

UNDERSTANDING WHY THE ORGANIZATION is a false idol and a BLASPHEMY

do we understand these three words: worship, idolatry, and blasphemy?.

most christians have a vague notion of worship, idolatry, and blasphemy already, but.

a clear definition is necessary.. we must take care to differentiate, however.. how the words appear in original language and how they are defined today might be at odds.. ____________________.

kinda sad really.

i have nothing against the people who run the business, they're just trying to make a buck, but i'm soooo glad i'm out of that boring cult.. did you see the governing body's invitation?

can an unhappy married woman vent?

i continue to be saddened by the fact that i am married to such a selfish man.. i want to know if i am the only wife who has no say when it comes to using the house she lives in for activities including other people.. .

let me explain.. yesterday my daugher who is 35 got a new puppy for my grandaughter who is 13. today my daughter and son in law are going to help my uncle at a job, and my granddaughter wanted to spend the day here, my daugher said shed bring her and the puppy over, i laughed and said 'your dad wont have that, ill have to go to your house'.. after all it will 'upset' the 2 cats they will hide all day [like they do anytime someone including my grandchild is in my home] .. i already knew that he would not like it if she brought the puppy over, [weve had dogs so its not like he hates them].

he doesnt care if his grandaughter would have enjoyed playing with the puppy over grandmas house, where she likes to be for a change, and that fact that id like to see what my cats would do when they saw a dog for the first time in thier lives.. maybe id have liked to play with the puppy .. when i said to my husband that my daughter said she wanted tp bring them over he said.

Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie

i've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.

as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.

instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.
