  Luke 14:29 says onlookers would ridicule someone who built a tower without the necessary funds available ...

  Am I unkind to ridicule?

  Did Jesus really die on a cross?

  being raised a catholic we had lots of crosses around the house.

  when my family converted to this cult they were all removed and destroyed in case they had demons in them lol but at this juncture in my life i do not even know if jesus as the way he is portrayed in the bible was real.

  yes a man named jesus did live and die 2000 years ago and probably on a cross but he was definitely not the son of god.

  a single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.

  i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.

  my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

  @prologos

  Maybe not right now I was thinking future - 5 to 10 years? And is "Pakistan" telling the whole truth? Governments have been known to lie.

  We missed you at the meetings

  a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?

  they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.

  well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.

  Watch it twice and pick out the subtle stuff. Five Stars!

  2:47 Look carefully at the title of the book the three elders are holding.

  3:08 Look at the goods being bought in the shop.

  3:24 The guy at the door is the only new male you are likely to bring to the KH from the ministry these days.

  4:34 Poignant, funny and true!

  It could go nuclear.

  If Russia/China/USA are involved each one is too big to be taken down by the other with conventional weapons and if it went nuclear the "winner" would be mortally damaged itself.

  But let's say India and Pakistan square up to each other (Political/religious divide - Hindu and Muslim). Let's say due to the sheer size India is winning the conventional war. I could see elements in Pakistan "taking them down with us" and nuking major Indian cities.

  Fortunately the bigger boy (India) seems to be the more peaceful one!

  So I can see a continent being laid to waste but not the whole globe.

  If the middle east - as in Israel and the Muslim nations went nuclear then any nuclear action would be in that region even if it came from any of the three major nuclear powers.

  And the UK? I'm glad the UK has it's little fleet of nuclear subs out and about - it makes me feel safer as it did throughout the cold war. (even though Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Brazil etc etc - even South Korea, get by quite happily without) and I believe that in hindsight the UK could've relied on the USA to be "The West's" nuclear deterrent.
