  i am sure that this has already been discussed, so maybe someone could direct me to the correct link.

  i just haven't been able to access this site as often as i would like.

  at the meeting tonight (i wasn't there but was told about it), the brothers were told to pack up a "survival kit" with enough provisions to last for six months - water, medications etc.

  according to the live blog: god's will to be completed by the end of the millennium.

  it wasn't pretty, it wasn't how we wanted it but we are in england and it rains here.

  you can't argue with two good wins previously.

  can the aussies rescue their pride for the rest of the series?.

  (reuters) - a south african cardinal who helped elect pope francis this week has told the bbc pedophilia is an illness and not a crime.. cardinal wilfrid fox napier, the catholic archbishop of durban, told bbc radio 5 on saturday that pedophilia was a "disorder" that needed to be treated.. "from my experience, pedophilia is actually an illness.

  Not that I'm catholic(not even close), but I think we should read the whole story here. He was speaking of abusers who themselves abuse. It seems as if the journalist ambushed him here.

  Now before I get flamed, I don’t necessarily agree with him, nor do I consider myself knowledgeable of the subject so as to give 'expert views'.

  I have two kids of my own and find any child abuse disgusting and without excuse.

  I just don’t think we should judge if we don’t know the whole story, al la witness style...

  "knowledge puffs up, but love builds up" (sorry, not sure where this one is in bible).

  "do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthing man, to whom no salvation belongs.

  ok, can someone please tell me, what in the world do these women have on their faces???.

  i couldn't find that it said where this was taken, but i'm guessing it's in myanmar as that is the featured country in the yearbook.

  for context, here's a scan of the entire cover:.

  They would typically mark someone for doing something that is not as bad as a DF offence, but still wrong in their eyes, like dating a non believer. Basically it is to warn others that the now marked person is a bad influence and only limited association is allowed. Didn’t know they announce it though?
  
  Have I got that right?
