  Room 215

  , Every comment: "Ba-ROOK did this, and then Ba-ROOK did that...".

  Well, I might be inclined to give the guy a pass; maybe he did it to avoid confusion with "Barak"

  More commonly, one hears "irregardless" in stead of "regardless" or "irrespective".

  • The only two scriptures have have remotely any relevance to birthdays are:

    Job 1:4: "His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on HIS DAY, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them."

    and Romans 14:5,6: " 5One man regards a certain day above the others, whilesomeone elseconsiders every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced inhis own mind. 6He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.…"

  i have read extensively about the origins of birthdays, and i still don't get it.

  but it's not what it means today.. even wedding veils were used to ward off the "evil eye".

  "If this was part of a deliberate strategy then they could also consider improving the quality and enjoyability of their meetings, especially on the bring a friend day."

  ... except they they're so myopic they fail to see any need for improving them.

  i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.

  has there been anything recent?

  Or simply tell them I'm sorry; I caved in a moment of weakness." I'm betting they would love to make this edict go away quietly, or restore it to a "matter of conscience" but the backlash would be catastrophic. (Prov 26:17)
