Holy effluence, mb. How is praying for the gb to be cleansed, not the same as praying for them? BTW, I like your idea that they need a big ol' Gawdly enema. I've been chuckling about it most of the morning.

i say pray for a cleansing of the gb.

why should many leave if they still want to worship jehovah.

why pray for those wankers? do you really need the gb to worship Jehovah?

The Walrus Was Paul

many new testament biblical students today of both messianic jewish and christian backgrounds, are finding out that paul of tarsus simply doesn't fit with the remainder of new testament theology.

there is an article i've recently read, from the judaism vs. christianity dot com website that deals explicitly with this topic.... well, now i cannot seem to access it, but here is the link:.

I don't believe there is a person alive that disagrees with your last paragraph, Robdar. We need good well-managed sufficient programs for those particular neighbors.

JO, I totally agree we need well managed and sufficient programs to help others get back on their feet. I believe people can loose their dignity if on public assistance for too long. Once they loose their dignity, it will be very difficult to get out of poverty. Isn't it interesting that many times we become what we think we are?

CBJ, I totally agree, the helping hand always came when I needed it most. I really think think I learned alot about faith during that time.

I've seen hard times too. My first husband didn't believe in paying child support and it was difficult filing charges against him in Alabama for defying an order of child support from Missouri.

I bought my clothes from Goodwill so my son could have new clothes for school. I clipped coupons and spent wisely on nutritious food to eat. I even took in a border. I am glad neither one of us got sick because I didn't have health insurance.

I just realized that when I was poor, I didn't feel poor. Of course, I was young and strong back then and it seemed almost like an adventure. My son told me not too long ago that he had a happy childhood and that I was a fun mom. He remembered us going to the park, flying kites, playing basketball, hide-n-go-seek, chase, swimming in a stream, wading in fountains, going to art galleries, free movies and concerts. Sometimes we just walked around the ritzier parts of town dreaming of the day we could leave the poor side.

However, I realize that not all people are in good health, not all are young and strong. Life is a wheel and sometimes shit happens. Sometimes very bad shit happens. I believe that everybody deserves a helping hand when down on their luck. Maybe not a free ride, but definitely a helping hand. What harm can come from loving your neighbor?

But SS isn't an investment vehicle, it's an insurance policy. It insures you against the risk of not having income when you retire. Unlike typical investments, you cant outlive your money. It also has a disability and life insurance aspect. The disability and life insurance components are the equivalent of a half a million dollars worth of insurance for the average participant.
