Basically, imho it's the concept of evil that plagues Christians - they cannot find a satisfying answer to it that also does not change their concept of god ie all good, knowing, powerful.

Muslim theologans dissolve the problem of evil straight away as they believe evil is part of god also - a way of learning, essentially.

I would like to point out that if they believed in conversion the Isrealites would behave like isis in a heartbeat - they have and do, only in their case the issue at stake is land.

The problem is the same - the 'god given right'for or to do something!😡

"Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

Diogenesister

he Women's Liberation movement didn't come up with the idea of women working outside the home. Women have been working outside the home, growing crops or earning money for thousands of years to feed their children

Absolutely Xanthippe, it was only ever an option for the upper classes.

With the opening up of the middle class during the Victorian era there was a brief time where women who where not part of the aristocracy would 'manage'the home & servants but WW 1 brought an end to much of that.

Poor women have always worked their fingers to the bone. If they didn't die in childbirth, that is.

Zoo's, you made my sunday.

At the moment at my kid's school there seems to be a fashion for wearing very colourful oddly mismatched socks. As they wear uniform I think it's a way to express themselves. As a girl I always felt a little sorry for men on the fashion front (although that's improving), so trully this a place for them to shine😀

STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT TONI MORRIS III !

we are having weekly terror attacks.

you cant just keep carpet bombing as little ground has been won against issi's in one year.

they are making millions from oil and farming.

Diogenesister

Push them where? out of Iraq? The Turks have been ordered out of there, doing that, Issi"s young advenurers are not push-overs like the Germans or Japanese.

Ha ha, this is a juicy one for a thread battle prologos!!!(sorry for hyjaking your thread witness 007).

Of course the British have been getting their butts handed to them by the Pathan's (Afganistan, but you can bet theres plenty in isis)for hundreds of years!

However, my money is still on the GERMAN army as the best!

so 550,00 homes in lancaster without power because of flooding in a substation caused by desmond.

including my daughter who is at university there.

no electricity.

Is it out of the question that she could go home?

Boy this is where a REAL network of friendships (or call it religon, but really it's like minds)would come in handy. She could do with someone not too far away to rescue her - I live in London unfortunately, I do hope she's ok.

Jewish people believe in ritual circumcision, they have a ceremony and the baby has his foreskin cut off, something that is very painful and mutilates the penis, and has no particular health value, according to many experts.

First of all Lisa Rose I would like to say a big "hear hear" to your 1st post on this thread

When I did my community midwifery it was in Hamstead Stamford hill area, big Jewish population. The non orthodox mums where horrified by the bruising & suffering the wee boys went through, many said they would not do it again!Of course the JW's would say what a miracle it's the 8th day that there is a rise in the clotting factor , but of course it's the other way around, how many babies died before they discovered that the 8th day was the safest day to operate on!
