What kind of sandwiches do you like to make?

I don't like sandwiches.
Guess I should not post here.
I like bread for dipping in thick soups.
I like bread for dipping in oil and spices with salad.
I like all kinds of breads. Breadsticks, yeast rolls, pita, and sweet breads too like peanut butter bread, cuban bread, sesame French bread, tomato herb bread from Panera, brown bread. I can't find cracked wheat anymore...haven't seen it in years.
I have a breadmaker. I also like making everything old fashioned way sometimes. If I had nothing else, bread would be enough. Soup, salad, piece of cheese, or fruit. That is enough to bring satisfaction.
Nathan's Beer bread and Hortensia's soup.
I just like bread.

Economic Crisis!

have we arrived?.

rev.16:16 then they gathered the kings together to the place that in hebrew is called armageddon.. rev.16:19 the great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed.

god remembered babylon the great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.

OK. So say it's just like the bible verses. The "cities of the nations" collapse...well, countries all over the world are being wounded by this crash.
So say this is it, the hour is here. My question to you is....what next? What do you do?
If this is the hour and babylon never recovers, will Jws be rejoicing?
Do you expect some miraculous intervention that 6 million others will not be priveliged enough to receive?
Do you expect to suffer and go through an inquisition for your faith?
What's next?

The Horrid Lime Green New World Translation- What were they thinking!

not very appealing and couldn't sell well.

That's the UU symbol for Welcoming Congregations
Well, I don't know what UU is or whats that's for but I have heard phrase "Rainbow" used quite often in referrering to the coming religious transition.
Also, this "lime green version" seems to be appropriate as some bibles say the fourth horseman is pale green.

Have you ever done practical joke on someone?

Is the new girlfriend the reason for your neighbor's nosey-ness?
If so, why not bring it out in the open...hand your GF a rake and let her do some lawn work. Give the noseys an opportunity to say hello and see if they are friend or foe. Maybe they just want to be neighborly.
Practical joke....plant an odd plastic flower in with other foliage. Not a bunch of them...just one. See how long it takes them to notice....do this in their yard, of course.

judges 1:19 and the lord was with judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

chariots of iron sounds like they had dodge ram trucks or something.

or maybe armored tanks.

Thanks, Leolaia.

One reason I have NO RESPECT for the CATHOLIC CHURCH

catholic church guards its dominance in e timor.

maliana: a few years ago domingos pereira and his wife did something dangerous.

Funny how they would accuse JWs of paying others to convert. I read years ago that when Catholic missionaries went to primitive areas they bribed people with food and some medical care. I think the natives had to participate in some indoctrination in order to receive anything. Just odd they would accuse JWs of doing what they did.

Four Horsemen
by cameo-d in

2. bible
does wt teach that the rider on white horse is jesus?.

do the other horsemen have identities that are actually named?.
cameo-d

Ok. This is what I was thinking. According to wiki, the rider on the white horse depicted in Rev. 6 is wicked and is not the same rider of the white horse as in Rev. 19
The evil rider on white horse is depicted as having a kingdom since he has a crown.
He conquers nations with a bow (no mention of an arrow) so maybe he uses threats or intimidation of some kind to conquer.
Could white be symbolic of a nationalistic color? Could this go back to the Capitoline Hill? In ancient history, the hill was the site of the Temple of Jupiter, which worshipped the Capitoline Triad. Again, according to wiki, a skull was recovered when laying the foundation for this temple. Could we likewise make an analogy that the Capitol as well as the Capitoline Hill are both founded on skull symbolism?
The second horse is red and he takes peace from the earth and causes killing. Red is a color we use to describe political views of nations. China and Russia both have the connotation as being "red". Perhaps there are others, too.
So could it be, that these horses and riders all come into play in this last generation?

Original Sin

2. bible
it seems to be generally assumed that the "original sin" was the act of disobedience.

so what's so bad about wanting to raise your intellect?

did our creators intend for us to just be like the dumb beasts?

I'll never know God by knowing myself (through meditation).
I think that is rational thinking. Michelle, I also think that some new philosophies tend to promote that we were meant to be gods ourselves and that we can become god. I can't help but wonder if meditation will someday be accompanied by some silent sound thought implants.
