The poor grammar and sentence structure makes it sound like one of those Nigerian scams.
I wouldn't be surprised if some con artist has figured out a way to tap into this.

JW Stance On Joining The YMCA
by Justitia Themis ini have been emailing with several jws in my congregation about the osce issue.
i pointed out the hypocrisy of not allowing us to join the ymca, but then having osce ngos.
one sister emailed me that a sister in her congregation just received a letter from the society stating that it is ok for her to to join the y. she needed to join for rehab purposes.

Back when I was shopping around for a gym, my Gilead graduate Uncle actually suggested the YMCA because it was closer and more convenient, but when I mentioned that to one of my pioneer friends she looked at me as if I had just had sex with the pope. She said that joining the YMCA was tantamount to going to a church of christendom because they keep membership records that show you as being one of them.
Bunch of horse manure if you ask me. -

Wow, it just clicked. I'm agnostic!
by marmot ini honestly don't think i've ever been this happy in my life.
of course, i've got bipolar ii so i might just be edging on a bout of hypomania but i'm good at taking my med so this could very well be genuine!
i'm so excited at the new look on life this has given me.

Do you still fear an elder visit, when you see a car drive up slowly...
by JH inwhen you see a car drive slowly in front of your house, do you still think it may be an elder coming by to see you?.
i remember a few years ago, each time a car drove by slowly in front of here, expecially around 7pm on evenings when there was no meetings, or on saturday mornings, i got away from the window, and looked outside from another window where i wouldnt be seen, incase it was an elder coming to see me.. if it was the case, i would turn off the tv so that there would be no noise when they would come to my door.
then they would leave after a few knocks.. since many years, they don't come anymore.. .

Refute anti-gay Bible verses
by cloudblue inanyone done some research to refute the handful of anti-gay verses in the bible?
i've done a bit of research on the net.
i don't have the links handy, but most of them centered around the assertion that the original words in those passages were mis-translated.

How to refute them, you ask?
Bring up the fact that the Bible says humans popped onto the scene 6 thousand years ago, that women were an afterthought only created because the first man got bored so god ripped out one of the first man's ribs and made him a mate only a talking snake duped her and doomed mankind to suffering, that a massive flood wiped out all living creatures and plant life except for 8 people on a boat with two of every species (except for when there were seven of every species) and pushed up all the tall mountains and deepened the oceans just over 4 thousand years ago, that god showed his mighty power by making his chosen representatives aimlessly wander around the middle eastern desert for 40 years until they could commit genocide in his name and steal those sucka's houses and vineyards.
Bring up the fact that god in all his mightiness wanted to be worshiped by killing animals, splattering their blood in ritualistic patterns and burning their remains on an elaborate altar. Bring up the fact that god in all his loving mightiness could not extend forgiveness to the human race until he had his son slaughtered.
If you want to read the bible literally, you deserve whatever you get. (edit) Sorry, I missed the post about no bible-bashing. -

Horrifying report on China/did anyone watch Planet in Peril last night?
by restrangled infrom the most digusting, filthy food growing conditions of which more and more of our own food is contaminated with to abuse and consumption of exotic animals, especially the endangered.
they are the worlds biggest contributors to the decline of endangered animals and are creating more.
750 large bears were shown in cages with huge metal tubes inserted into their stomachs to suction out bile every day for old chinese medicine recipes.

Restrangled, I don't consider myself "Canadian" at all (I'm aboriginal) and I make no apologies for ANY government, but I find that getting your dander up over China is going to do diddly squat.
History will run its course. The point I was trying to make was that America and Britain were just as bad in their infancy as China is now, but things evened out somewhat over the course of time. It's not the apocalypse, our planet is not in peril.
The only thing this all means is that we might see a big cultural shift, and this is something that has gone on since humans first got together in large social groups.
Change happens, you've just got to deal with it and adapt or go extinct. -

I'm in a position to make a very difficult decision...
by FreedomFrog inok, here's the thing.... i have a 2004 ford taurus.
it's really nice with sun roof /power seats/heated side mirrors/the works and it's mine but with a payment of $310.
i was just offered to take a 1995 saturn (still runs decent) for the taurus but with the '95 i will not have a payment though there will be more maintenance on it.. i love my taurus, it makes me feel like i'm still human but i'm very much strapped with finances.

You've got an '04 and you've already got ALL THOSE REPAIRS!?
Jayzus, you've either got a lemon or you've got dishonest mechanics who enjoy taking you for a ride. I had a 2000 Focus with a 5 speed that I bought used for $5500, drove the piss out of it for 2 years (but always did my own maintenance) and didn't spend a penny more on it aside from the usual brakes, oil, tires and a windshield replacement.
I then sold it for $4500 last month.
Seriously, I have no idea how a 3-year old car like yours should need a new muffler, starter, transmission and clutch (although you say the last 2 were already done.)
Or wait, are you talking about the Saturn?
