  Deadwood best show ever

  A woman after my own heart. I can watch that show over and over again. Too bad it only lasted 3 seasons.

  I really got into Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy the last couple years, as well.

  Why do people support abusers in the NFL?

  by Simon in

  i really don't get it.. in most sports in most countries your career is rightly over if you commit certain crimes.. but not in the good old nfl !.

  it seems players can rape, beat women, abuse children, fight dogs ... and they will not only be allowed to play but they will have an army of fans wearing their names on their shirts and cheering them on.. the abuse and arrogant attitudes seem to exist at all levels - it seems like there is an endless feed of news stories where some high-school or college football players have abused or raped girls and they end up being allowed back to play and people rallying round as though *they* are the victims.. surely, whatever someone's skills as an athlete are, there are some things that simply can't be excused?.

  or is winning truly 'everything' and it doesn't matter the cost?.

  The rates in the NFL compared to regular society for all manner of crime is way higher.

  I don't dispute that it's higher. Many of the players come from violent backgrounds, only to join a profession that not only encourages violence, but rewards it. Combine that with the sense of entitlement that's instilled in them at an early age, simply because they're good at playing a game.

  But you're opening post seemed to be asserting that only in the NFL, or America, for that matter, is someone allowed to continue having a career once they've committed a despicable act. Sorry, but I call bs on that.

  Are you sure about that?

  And apparently if you're a convicted child rapist, you're still free to make movies in Europe. What's the difference?

  Goal for new service year

  by Daniel1555 in

  2. beliefs

  the secretary of the congregation said in a talk, what the congregation should have as goal for the new service year: attend field service meetings!.

  he explained in a sad tone, that he visited all of our 3 or 4 service groups.

  and what happened at the field service meetings.

  He and his wife were alone with the group overseer and his wife LOL. No one supporting the group, and that was not an exception.

  Maybe they knew he was coming, and didn't want to get stuck in his car group.

  We had a few elders in our congregation who were big time Trekkies, and many others, myself included, who were really into the Star Wars movies. It caused quite a stir when a speaker at an assembly mentioned Star Wars and Star Trek specifically as things that Christians shouldn't watch. Star Trek because it promoted evolution, and Star Wars because the 'force' represented demonism. I was already into my fade, so I just rolled my eyes.

  Was Charles Russell delusional or just a con artist?

  by keyser soze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've seen him referred to as both on this forum.. did he sincerely believe that he was an inspired prophet whose end-time predictions and biblical interpretations came from god?

  or was he just a shrewd businessman who saw a market of disillusioned christians who believed that armageddon was imminent that he could exploit?.

  i personally lean toward the latter.. .

  I always tried to avoid the more unconventional types of witnessing. I tried business witnessing once, and just couldn't do it. It felt even more intrusive than going to people's homes.

  How Do They Still Preach & Teach The "End" Is Right Around The Corner And Never Get Embarrassed?

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from from the very beginning, the watchtower has been wrong about every prophecy regarding "the time of the end".

  they still continue to spout false information.. go out and preach before it is too late!

  lol!!!

  Except Cubs fans are far more adorable.

  ALIENS!! (and the downfall of religion)

  by disposable hero of hypocrisy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let me clarify, when i say aliens, i don't mean shiny helmeted spaceship dwelling anal probers.

  (although i could be proved wrong).

  if any alien lifeform was found on mars or another planet or even a comet, be it tiny bacteria or even some form of non carbon based life form, would that not destroy religions grip on mankind?

  They already ignore scientific evidence that undermines their belief system. Why would they treat this any differently?
