they have just won all 3 major competitions in their country for the 3rd year in a row.. sadly, this feat serves to demonstrates how sad scottish football has become.. they are simply the best of a bad bunch in scotland, and each year invariably exit the uefa champions league with a whimper..
Speaking as a football fan, coach and as a Scotsman, Scottish football is in a bad way.
The standard of football is dire. The money available to clubs is a tiny fraction of the budget of English teams. It's also poorly run by the men in suits at Hampden.
My local club has just been relegated out of the SPFL.
there is a controversial claim in this article, quite different to what christians usually claim.
it interested me, as i often wondered how as jws we could claim to be loving and kind (and certainly some were) yet, be quite callous about those who rejected our message.. you can find this story on this research at:.

The criticisms of the methodology are valid.
Another factor to consider is that there is a strong genetic component for religiosity. Children in religious households are likely to have inherited those genes which may also account for their 'sensitivity to justice'.
In other words it's not the child-rearing and religious indoctrination that affects the child's personality but their genetic inheritance.
On the other hand, teaching children that the world divides into 'them and us' does not contribute positively to their social development.

JC - Prove that the State of Israel is racist and homophobic.
Provide evidence for the persecution of Christians by the government of Israel.
As for your claim that it persecutes Orthodox Jews that is ridiculous. It is the state's indulgence of Orthodox Jews that is the source of tension in Israel and rightly so.

the title instantly made me think it was a jw but turns out just a 'normal' christian.
wouldn't surprise me tho.. og.
Ms Kuteh told a bowel cancer patient in April 2016 'that if he prayed to God he would have a better chance of survival.
That is where she really crossed the line.
It's difficult to deal with somebody who is convinced their obnoxious behaviour has divine approval.
so, the trailer for the new batwoman series was released a few days ago.. proof positive that hollywood, cw network and other movie/tv producers live in their own bubble and are continuing to push their sjw agenda.. the trailer itself has unbelievable levels of cringe at times.. batwoman happens to be a woman (if you hadn't already guessed) and an out and proud lesbian.
of course, there's nothing wrong with any of this, it just feels so forced.
within a few seconds of the trailer you get some girl-on girl action, just to hammer home the sexuality thing.
You what would be really original for Hollywood right now?
A film that didn't pander to the SJW agenda.
i was doing some browsing today on http://watchtowerletters.com and discovered a very thought provoking point.
the fact is that the flood of noah's day does not stand up to scientific scrutiny or common sense.
this becomes all the more apparent when considering an ancient story like the epic of gilgamesh.
If I refer to "the boy who cried wolf" does that prove I am naive enough to believe that the boy actually existed or that I am a mythical being or neither?
Weak arguments for a mythical Jesus are ten a penny.

if Jesus talked about the flood of Noah's day, which is obviously just a myth, then Jesus himself is obviously just a myth
This is a complete non sequitur.
according to mathew 6:9 jesus instructed his followers in, vs. 9 " you must pray, then this way "our father in the heavens,let your name be sanctified ..... which rank & file jehovah`s witnesses have been led to believe for the past 140 or so years is to make a personal name of god namely jehovah known to all of the world ,because as they have so loudly professed christendom has kept that name away from the general public.. not true ,raymundus martinus a spanish catholic monk of the 13th-14th century first coined that name for god and it has been used in and on churches throughout christendom in the world ever since.. true christendoms emphasis has been on witnessing about jesus christ which is what the new testament is all about,not jehovah god, but jesus christ .
phillipians 2 :9-11. in the new testament ,( cgs ) jesus christ is never recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of the apostles are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. " " none of his disciples are ever recorded as saying the personal name of god ever.. the new testament ,christian greek scriptures are all about bearing witness about jesus christ and after his time of bringing back people under his kingdom will he turn then it back over to his father, a thousand years when his rule is finished.. that is the message of the"kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures" published by the wtb&ts ,says..
Good points. Jesus took a stand against misguided religious traditions and the gospels record the resulting confrontations. Where is the record of the outrage Jesus caused by using the divine name?
If Jesus used the name in 1st century Palestine public anger would be inevitable. So either the gospel writers forgot to mention such a significant issue, or he never used it.
many states do not even allow you to hold your phone if you are driving.
do you think you should be fined hundreds of dollars for touching your phone while driving?
?.
the ones who are stupid about when they talk on the phone be the overwhelming majority of the ones who get into accidents.
And take others with them.

I don't know anybody (yet) who has been hit by somebody talking on their phone.
Studies show otherwise. Among all the common distractions you might experience in the car using a phone is uniquely dangerous. The research is easy to find online. The death toll speaks for itself. There was a time people boasted that drinking and driving might be a problem for others but not for them.
I could not count how many near misses I have seen caused by drivers chatting on the phone.
