I could be the brooding Latin heartthrob who cleans pools with his shirt off and makes the ladies swoon! LOL (all soap operas have CHEESY writing)
Or I could play the bad boy who kicks butt and takes names.
Both roles would be lots of fun.
would this forum make a good soap opera if it could pass on tv?.
sometimes the heated debates and gossips are just as interesting as those soap operas.
what roles would you attribute to certain posters?

I noticed that Dutchie was no longer posting on this forum. Since I took a sabbatical of my own and it appears she stopped posting at the same time I was away, would anyone be kind enough to elaborate as to the reason for Dutchie's absence?

I believe Dutchie was the girl who used Betty Boop as her picture profile icon and flirted with DakotaRed way back.
brothers,matthew 10:37 anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
matthew 23:9 and do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one father, and he is in heaven.. .
jehovah is our father, our only father, according to 23:9. yet, jesus clearly says that if we love jehovah more than jesus, we are not worthy of him.
What has Jesus done for anyone for the last 2000 years, except get many people killed trying to foster his religion.
Well stated undecided. Simple logic so that even a child can understand, yet theists who defend organized religion at all costs make excuse after excuse for an Almighty God who allows innocent people to suffer and die.
Jesus Christ? How many have died because of THAT name? Would he allow people to slaughter and conquer in his name? The Holy Crusades? World Wars where chaplains on both sides are preaching that Jesus is with them? Catholicism violently converting Native Americans in the earliest histories of the United States?
Or how about Jehovah God? Children who die every year for a vacillating blood doctrine? Pedophiles who thrive within "his" organization and prey on children yet are given haven to protect the image of the corporation?
Allah the merciful? Intifadeh and jihad which result in the deaths of tens of thousands, if not millions of people? Islam radicals killing people because God tells them to do so?
Get a clue. God is a fairy tale and the Bible/Koran and any other holy book is a collection of myths.
Religion is the single biggest scam perpetrated on mankind in order for people in a position to do so to faciliate power and control over other people.
my step son, sean, is moving back to pacific, mo.
he's moving in with his jw brother (big mistake as they don't really get along).
i guess the pressure from daddy saying if he converted he'd disown sean was more than he could bear.
Hang in there Yeru.
Although these are extremely unfortunate circumstances, you need to be reassured that YOU did not lose anything.
It is not your fault.
Other people have the power of CHOICE.
Perhaps this will serve as a learning experience for all involved.
You can be compared to the good parent who sees a child make bad decisions, and no matter what you say, that child will not listen because they have to experience it (thinking they know it all) for themselves before realizing you were right.
You are in my thoughts.
Time has a way of answering questions and healing wounds. Keep your hope.
what's a kingdom song you can remember singing that gives you the creeps now?
mine is "move ahead" i think that was the title, anyway it has so much rhetoric... but the tune is so darn catchy.... darn.... in my opinion, those songs are the perfect example of mind control.
move ahead.. move ahead ... blah blah blah blah blah .
Most annoying? All of them.
Most hypocritical "Kingdom Melody" which induces nausea at contemplating that JW pedophiles sing it within congregations? = Children - A Gift from God
has anyone seen this film?.
i just watched it today and was blown away!
it really has my head spinning.... .
Donnie Darko was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, ever.
It falls in the same abysmal category as Plan 9 from Outer Space (Ed Wood), Matinee (John Goodman) and Toys. (Robin Williams)
i imagine most of you have heard or seen the footage of the hazing in which girls were beaten at a high school.. the ones guilty of this crime have been formally charged as adults.
after reading reports and viewing the video, i believe the authorities rightfully charged them.
i don't think there has been much debate on whether or not those kids are guilty.. the question i have heard out there is whether or not the authorities should charge the parents because their kids were involved?.
This scenario presents an interesting conundrum. Why? Should legal guardians be formally charged with crimes for the delinquent actions of a minor?
I believe it boils down to individual circumstance.
Some children behave so outrageously because it has been accepted, even encouraged in their home environment. Kids who are not taught proper manners, who are disrespectful to their parents and spoiled anyway.. allowed to do any/everything and are never disciplined... you know the kind I refer to. Those kids in the grocery store who scream and curse their mother for not buying them candy. What kind of young adult do you think that child grows up to become? Those children who are given alcohol BY their parents at age 14 or 15, who listen to violent rap music and have no respect for authority. In instances like the above the parent is directly responsible for the delinquency of the minor, and contribute to their moral deterioration.
On the other hand, you have children who succumb to peer pressure or are inherently bad. The child who goes along with the crowd or despite their parent's best attempts at raising them well... defy them at every possible turn and become troublemakers. The parents who cry because they are heartbroken at how their kid turned out. They love them, but not what they do.
I am sure parents of children of their own can understand to what I refer.
It depends on the individual scenario for each child. If the case goes to court I am sure the attorney's may very well discuss each case individually if it means getting a client off the hook.
In this order:
I accept reality for what it is, but aspire to achieve the greatest possible outcome. I also try to stay positive no matter what circumstances may exist.
