here it is in p14 of the article "is he a good example for you or a warning?".
14 will we let solomons course be a warning example for us?
a sister might attempt to rationalize forming a romantic link that ignores gods directive to marry only in the lord.
"Today, holy spirit is available to aid Christians, whatever their hope
LOL--get your holy spirit here! Two bags one dollar. HOLY SPIRIT! Get your holy spirit. Get it while it's hot.
Sorry---I just got this pic of a peanut vendor in a red and whit striped shirt, shouting out that holy spirit was available.
This was simply a message from our sponsers. I return you now to your regular programming.

it's that simple.
i'm sick up to here (guestures to above head), of hearing the dubs trot out their brand name for their imaginary sky friend who is so loving they're petrified he'll murder them soon!!!!!.
the other week i heard a conversation between 2 dubs that ended with the cliche: 'jehovah will sort it out!
Awwww Punky---May Jehovah open your heart soon! May Jehovah show you the truth and give you a reason to live. Jehovah will work it out for you. You just have to lean on Jehovah. Throw all your burdens on Jehovah, and the way will be clear! Jehovah blesses the wicked along with the righteous! You got rain don't cha? Just leave it in Jehovah's capable hands. Where your arm comes up short, Jehovah will lengthen it. Take it to Jehovah in prayer!!!
And if you don't---may Jehovah slaughter you and turn you into bird food.
here's an interesting article that i found linked from yahoo news: .

the man arrested is reported in the story to be a jw.
Well that's one way to get them into the kingdom hall---render them helpless. Wierd.
it is a known fact that on average a pedophile will abuse as many as 200 children in his/her lifetime.. with that in mind.
read an extract from an august 1, 1995 letter to all bodies of elders in the usa.. i guess these untrained elders are somehow experts in this area and can determine if someone will reoffend even though law enforcement, psychiatrists and specialists cannot offer the same guarantee and in many cases will even suggest that these known sex offenders are very likely to reoffend when the opportunity presents itself.... to all bodies of elders in the united states.
august i, 1995.
especially when one had repeatedly engaged in this kind of wrongdoing or had been disfellowshipped or such an offense.
And they love telling the public that once such a crime is proven against someone BAPTIZED, that person will NEVER have a position of trust or have special priviliges! As if it was always that way and they always had it under control. Their own letter accuses them.
This was 1995-----the entire world knew that this kind of person habitually returns to this disgusting practice over and over. They have no excuse---it was NOT a gray area anymore.

how much influence do you believe the demons can exert on people through such media?.
WOW Punko---how can you reason with that?!?
this is a personal observation and certainly not representative of all atheists.
i enjoy discussions with folks of this persuasion; in general they appear well read and somewhat more educated than many believers.
as a group most atheists cringe and become insensed when discussing the existence of a deity with believers especially fundamentalists.
Tec, when I look at Christ, I see he has always perfectly agreed with his father. Therefore, the bible must be taken as a whole--if I were to look at Christ. He actually directs readers to the OT. So the OT remains fair game. I totally understand that this is not the case for all Christians, and that is actually a relief. You guys are much nicer. But it is what it is. Jesus was an Israelite raised according to OT laws, and he is a product of such laws. He never disowned them.

i let one of my student loans default.
now, i'm doing damage control with the rest of them to get forbearances and deferments.. i contacted the place that has the defaulted loan and am waiting for a response.. anyone know how long it takes to remove the word "default" from one's record?
just a ballpark figure would be okay..
White Dove, financial aid is an absolute mystery to me. Until it ends up in my account, I don't know what's going on. It's best to just call them.

according to many christians, atheists will go to hell for not believing in god.
this is written in the bibe..sorry i am not sure exactly where...would be nice if someone could direct me to the exact passage.
i feel however this contrived just to promote the reason for persecution of non believers.
Yeah, that hellfire teaching robs so many of any peace or joy, AND YET believing it is supposed to give comfort and happiness. I never could wrap my mind, and more importantly, my heart around it. I could never find comfort in people suffering. Call me weak.

Would the V get a foot hold in their civilization? The 24th century Star Trek humans would be far more powerful than the reptiles from Sirius in my opinion.
LOL Gary. This kind of thinking led me to write quite a bit of fanfiction. What would Bones do??? That kind of thing.
Now I'm going back up to read your longer post. It looks like something that will touch me.

None. But what a testament to human imagination. It's all fantasy and creativity. It won't hurt you.
Take Buffy the Vampire Slayer---those story lines were metaphors for growing up---for the most part. At least that is what Joss Whedon says. He still laughs that the first time that Buffy drinks alcohol, she gets attacked by a snake like demon. All metaphor.
