  The Walrus Was Paul

  by MoneurMallard in

  many new testament biblical students today of both messianic jewish and christian backgrounds, are finding out that paul of tarsus simply doesn't fit with the remainder of new testament theology.

  there is an article i've recently read, from the judaism vs. christianity dot com website that deals explicitly with this topic.... well, now i cannot seem to access it, but here is the link:.

  I've lurked a long time: JW's produce some of the most paranoid humans

  i'll keep this brief for now.. long time lurker (4 years or so).. born-in, elder, used on district level (last talk i gave before i left was the baptisimal talk), and lots of hard time put in...before i finally made the move to split.

  it's a long stoy, much like many of yours...but with it's own little interesting twists.

  more details in the future, perhaps.. as i said, ive lurked here for a while.. its funny: for a long time i'd only come on late at night.

  Smoking

  2. friends

  after my brother passed away in september of 2010 i started smoking again.

  at first i would hide the fact from my wife's dad by burning a cigar candle and making sure the ashes and butts were not in plain sight.

  but as time went on i just said to eff it.

  Holy crap that's funny. When I first read " My son came out and said he saw his gramma "Shit Bread" in the store." I thought he was refering to the fact that Gramma was so furious that she was litterally "Shitting Bread" in the store. Thanks for sharing the laugh.

  "Living as a "free" people isn't easy. Not everyone can do it."

  From a religious OR secular aproach the above quote is one of the most profoundly true I've read in a long time. Applies to so much in life these days. I will be using this quote in future discussions regarding liberty & self accountability. Thanks AGuest.

  i conducted a seminar yesterday for a firm in boston and the conference room is on the top floor.

  i looked out the window...and saw this.

  Does anyone here homeschool their children?

  by PaintedToeNail in

  i homeschool my son, he has just been accepted into the local community college in the dual-enrollment program.

  he scored higher than average for english and slightly above average on math.

  i don't homeschool because of the 'worldly' kids at the school.

  Well done. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers. Our public education is remarkably well designed to ensure a never ending supply of tax slaves & little else. In 1982 G. Edward Griffin interviewed the then ailling Senator Norman Dodd who in 1954 was tasked with investigating the operations of tax-exempt organizations. What he learned regarding the public education system is truly terrifying. I'm not good at posting links or anything but if you're interested & have the patience to sit through the whole 50 something minutes you will surely thank yourself for your wise decision. Try to look past the title & listen to his story. Very interesting stuff.

  Awesome story Oneday. I've been lurking for over a year & just made my first post yesterday. It's a bit of a novel so I won't repeat it here. I Called the title "Thanks Y'all" in order to thank all the cool people here whose posts I read that led me to shake off the cult.

  Dang! I attended the convention last year & can only imagine how I would have reacted had I witnessed (LOL) such a scene. Thanks for the post.

  Beefing up my disaster preparedness to protect family

  by RayPublisher in

  i've been getting some new toys and also utilizing my old ones a little better- i now have a 1000 watt inverter that connects to a 12 volt car battery which in some ways is better than a generator because you don't need to worry about keeping fresh gasoline and trying to stockpile it.

  i have a 3'x3' 30 watt solar panel that can charge one or two car batteries also so it will create a limited but never ending power supply to complete this little chain.. .

  also i built a simple rack in my garage this weekend for my two guns, (12 gauge and a .22) so they are easily available but secure bc they have trigger locks and the key is now right on my regular keyring.

  You're not even close to being wacko if you're planning for the coming collapse. I have to question however, what exactly your expectations are regarding the AR-7 or more specifically the.22 round. I'm not saying DON'T get it, it's a cool weapon, it just seems to me that when TSHTF (and it will) you'll have bigger worries than shooting "small game". Besides, you're already equipped for that. I would urge you to consider something with considerably more stopping power. Prefferably capable of penetrating military issued armor if you get my meaning. I'm assuming you're American & if so you are in a very priviledged position having your 2nd amendment backing you up. The biggest threat to survival will be more than likely be bipedal as opposed to quad.

  Pay particular attention to Ohiocowboy's 2nd & 3rd paragraphs. That's gold right there. Barter will probably be crucial. It bears repeating:

  "Some precious metals tucked away and well hidden are a good idea."

  Buy silver NOW as opposed to its forcasted (by some insider accounts & I have no reason to disbelieve) $900+/oz price. Coming soon to a disaster near you. Good luck & well done.
