PART TWO of AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY A PRACTICING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS
by Sparks inwhile you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.
these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.
they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

I still love Kingdom Melodies.
by POs Son inok, at the risk of getting flamed, i have been out for over 20 years, and still love kingdom melodies.
i remember them for the good times, the conventions and assemblies, hearing the orchestral versions, imagining the orchestra playing.
some pieces were really nice.

You're right - some of them are hard to get out of your head. And some of them did express Christian aspirations in a beautiful way.
Currently I'm washing them out of my head, with Faye Wong's singing of the Buddhist heart Sutra, a link to which I've posted before, but post again for those who also need to wash kingdom melodies out of their minds.
I admit though, it will never stick like a K-M simply because I have no hope (in the diminished remainder of my life) of learning Chinese to the level where I could sing in Chinese.

The occasion was the dedication of a huge and expensive new modern extension to the very ancient Famen Buddhist temple, all paid for by the Chinese government.
Can you imagine the all-powerful GB ever commissioning a kingdom song with Buddhist influences? (grin)

The European consortium Airbus, announced in 2005 that they would assemble their A320 model in China, using chinese fabricated wings. A huge 114,000 square metre facility was built in Tianjin in north China.
Tianjin is part of the huge industrial complex developed around Beijing and is connected to Beijing by part of China's world leading fast train network. A fast train like this
leaves each way, on an average of every 5-6 minutes, and travels the 120 km in approx. 33 minutes for a single fare of around A$10.00 (60 yuan).
Tianjin port is listed among the top 50 in the world.
The assembly plant's workers are trained to the same technical standard as Airbus' European workers. The assembly line turns out four finished A320's a month.
The Chinese aircraft industry long ago achieved a high level of technical excellence, but focussed on miltary requirements. The production of military aircraft was a key factor in the industrial zone created in China's third line of defense in the mountainous areas of southwest China (in the days when the Chinese government feared an invasion by the USA). Mountains were hollowed out to build production facilities for fighter aircraft, and connected by railway lines through a geographical space in which western engineers said rail-lines could not be built. The man who organised this was Deng Xiaoping, and it has to be admitted that he showed himself to be an organising genius. Ideologically opposed to Mao Zedong's socialist program (Mao called Deng a 'capitalist-roader' and later put him in jail), Deng later let loose the current expansion of China with his policy statement, "To get rich is glorious."
Since the government has committed to change the pattern of exports to a more technical level, we can imagine that it wont be long before Chinese designed commercial aircraft are part of the export mix.

The Chinese market is now so important that even companies as large as Mercedes Benz will develop cars specifically for that market.
The model shown above is a new C class Mercedes with a longer wheelbase, manufactured at the Beijing joint venture factory.

Jesus is the Problem-"Christian Parents (not JWs) kick their son out for being Gay
by fulltimestudent injesus had nothing to say - for or against, homosexuality.
yet in his name, ignorant 'christian' parents will shun their children.
and jesus does not interfere.

OK, space madness:
Jesus had no reason to bring up homosexuality because the Jews already knew it was against God's law.
First, that could be the reason, but then Jesus discussed many other topics that were part of the Mosaic Law. He considered they were important issues (read Matthew 5) even though the "Jews already knew" those issues. For example Leviticus 19:17, commands,
"You must not hate your brother in your heart."
So the Jewish hearers of Jesus teachings already knew that, but he still discussed the issue
Does his failure to mention male to male sex, (even though Palestine was under Roman occupation) mean that he did not consider male/male sex an important issue?
Second, in your brief argument you state that:
"the Jews already knew it was against God's law."
I presume your referring to the Leviticus, "gay-bashing" texts?
Leviticus 18:22 states:
"And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing."
In reality, a man can't have sex with another man, " the same as you lie down with a woman."
I'm sure you've noticed that males lack a vagina. So the text is usually interpreted to be a prohibition on anal sex. Do you agree?
If you do, may I ask whether you consider it a sin when heterosexuals engage in anal sex?

This is the story of Frances Fremont-Smith who left her Boston home in 1978 to study for one semester at Hongkong's Chinese University. Before returning home she crossed into the PRC and found herself in a different world. The Cultural Revolution was only just over, but she senses a change in the air that attracted her and she stayed on:

My GAYXJW friend followed the course, that the parents in the video advocate. "Give up being gay, and be a good Christian," wasting decades of his life in a useless Christian cult, damaging to his own life and that of jhis ex-wife.
Will Christians never learn?

The year is 1988. It is 35 years after the events of Fred Schepisi’s classic film, The Devil’s Playground. Tom Allen, now in his 40s and recently widowed, is a respected Sydney psychiatrist and father of two children. A practising Catholic, Tom accepts an offer by the Bishop of Sydney to become a counsellor of priests. During these sessions, he will uncover a scandal and become embroiled in the Church’s attempts to cover it up. Tom’s quest for justice will push him to his limits, and reveal a side of Church power and official corruption he could never have imagined.

Thnx for posting Metatron.
That's a graphic portrayal of the reality of animal sensitivities - a reality denied by the NT's false statement in 2 Peter 2:12
