  if you keep an eye on it you could stem the flow of literature AKA "trash".

  Have you heard the phrase HoneyPot? i'm sure there are other uses, but in the IT world, it is a server purposely setup to allow hackers in, then they are traced or monitored.

  "Ones"

  by Joe Grundy in

  (i never was a dub).. this is something which has intrigued me for a while.

  i don't know whether it's dub-speak, or us-speak.. it's the use of the word 'ones' as in 'interested ones', 'worldly ones', 'disfellowshipped ones' and so on and so on.. in the 'normal world' we would probably use the word 'people'.. thoughts?.

  it's a particularly American English pronoun, and considered formal. It's overused, but nothing really wrong with it in American Culture. However I believe, it would be considered outdated but most Americans today.

  There are lots of people of all walks of faith on goFundme asking for money for mission trips. It even has a category just for that.

  I remember shaking my head about it, how much money was being raised just to spread lies to unknowing people.

  these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.

  "this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.

  the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.

  OH, so they are not talking about blank forms, but one with personal info on them? So that means no data stored in the UK, but on servers somewhere else, presumably in the US.

  So with the GBR on it, was that addressed to the UK branch area?

  also was there really an attachment or am I missing the new form that it mentions?

  Christians, Pedophilia and the Australian Royal Commission

  by fulltimestudent in

  the vast majority of christians are not pedophiles and would most likely deplore it.

  so why do so many church organisations try to cover it up?.

  probably there are two reasons:.

  Just saw this on youtube. As a big fan of Tim Minchin and this song deserves some publicity.
