  Why do American Christians stand with Muslim Nations on the Question of Evolution?

  by fulltimestudent in

  some statistics.

  this graph charts national responses to the statement, "human beings, as we know them, developed from earlier species of animal," and show some strange bedfellows.. .

  as you see, a huge majority (70% and higher) of western europe people surveyed, accept evolution (in some form).

  "...and a woman said, "Speak to us of FREEDOM."

  He replied, "Freedom is in the heart of every child. It is the heart's desire of every creature above the level of the insects.

  Freedom begins when we first learn to say NO."

  $10 per pub. Money begging session last night

  last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.

  elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).

  he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.

  Did they make it clear that this $10 obligation is for EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY for each day of the assembly?

  It's great that they don't take collection and rely on Jehovah to keep the work going forward.

  The Jehovah Sock Puppet, on the other hand, relies on guilt-trpping and threats that you might not see Paradise if you're not a cheerful Borg-anism.

  It's all BIBLE BASED, you see!

  Just as there are many paths to the top of a mountain, there are many paths to the bottom of the intellectual valley. Two different paths, both descended from Abraham, arrive at the same stagnant pond.

  Office Jargon, drives me nuts

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. humour

  'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.

  previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.

  i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

  neverendingdummy asked, "Are you off your meds?"

  
  

  I'm not on meds. Are you off your rocker?

  
  

  Jookbeard, I'm fine, thanks. How are you? I get weary reading posts that are closer to the random typing of a demented chimp than the communication of an intelligent human, and I am especially weary of those who feel that the most politically correct path in life is the one with low expectations and zero accomplishment.

  Am I correct that you are in Germany, jookbeard? How are you liking all those unfortunate refugees who are simply catching up on their sex quotas with the women of a country that extended a helping hand to them?

  
  

  Allah-hu fubar.

  From the posting guidelines:

  "What not to post...

  
  

  • Unreadable, non-english or gibberish / nonsense"

    In my never-humble opinion, pidgin english, like "l33t" does not belong on the board. I'm sorry if non-english speakers and illiterates find this discomforting and I invite them to start their own boards on which their ignorance can proliferate.

  Surgery/Infection/Pain

  by compound complex in

  dear fellow posters and friends:.

  a friend had been making excellent recovery after hospitalization and rehab.

  then, some 6 weeks later, while an infection set in, he had to return to hospital.

  A fellow I knew when I was much younger was a big guy all his life. In time he became an elder, and was made to feel shame because of his larger-than-average size. Might he be "stumbling" some pinhead busybodies by his obvious "gluttony"?

  So he went in to the hospital to have one of the several kinds of gastric surgery that are available today.

  While in hospital he contracted a MRSA infection (hospitals are the most likely places to contract MRSA) and after a few weeks fighting the flesh-eating infection, he died.

  He's much thinner now, yahu akbar!

  Remembering Danny S., who was ALWAYS a GOOD GUY and didn't deserve to die because of "teachings of men."

  Evidence of Human Activity in Northern Siberia 45,000 years ago.

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  this information makes the biblical dating of human origins a sad joke.

  quote: " when they dated the remains, the researchers got another surprise: the mammoth died 45,000 years ago.

  that means that humans lived in the arctic more than 10,000 years earlier than scientists believed, according to a new study.

  Makemeanunbeliever squawked, "...No one can prove or disprove a creator or no creator..."

  It is obvious you either don't understand the rules of debate or you intentionally ignore them.

  You are making an EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM that god exists. It is incumbent on you, my friend to provide the EXTRAORDINARY PROOF that supports your claim.

  NO ONE is obligated to disprove your crackpot assertions, which is why we ignore you.
