MindBlown, that's fantastic news. All you had to do was love her to show up their lack of love. Brilliant! Thanks for letting us know. Good way to start the day here in the UK. -

What if Albert and the Buddhist are right?
Which Buddhist? If you mean the Buddha and you've got it wrong in two sentences already I don't hold out much hope. -

Excellent. Hilarious that the off-camera assistant gets Jackson a fresh glass of water as soon as he is asked, does your religion accept corporal punishment of children. It's almost like saying, you're gonna need this! -

A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?
by Finkelstein into myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.
gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.
over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.

It's something I used to believe before I did any proper reading about evolution and theology. That's what it means to me. -

The Jehovah’s Witness church is believed to have sent a memo telling them to get rid of notes taken during “judicial meetings” with alleged sex offenders.
It comes after Judge Lowell Goddard – the head of Britain’s independent child sex abuse inquiry – warned institutions that NO paperwork relating to abuse claimsshould be shredded.
The Sunday People revealed 15 months ago that the church was accused of covering for paedophiles in congregations.
It is accused of brainwashing abused women and girls into not going to police so it can keep its image, preferring to deal with attackers at “judicial” meetings.
A former church elder said: “This latest move is disgusting.
"It gives elders an excuse to stand in court and say they have no paperwork relating to judicial meetings and can’t remember details.”
Under the church’s “audit”, basic details of what the abuser was accused of, when the assault was alleged to have happened and outcomes of such judicial meetings will be kept on file.
But more detailed notes, usually handwritten by elders during the meetings, could be destroyed.

The Jehovah’s Witness church failed to answer criticism over the memo.
But it said: “We abhor child abuse and view it as a heinous crime. Any suggestion that Jehovah Witnesses cover up child abuse is absolutely false.”
Last year we told how Louise Palmer, 38 , was ignored by her parents and church elders when she revealed her brother raped her as a child.
He was jailed for 14 years at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
In Newcastle upon Tyne, elders refused to talk to police about ministerial servant Gordon Leighton , 53, who was jailed for 13 years in 2013 for attacks on children.
In Barry, South Wales, they did not help police probing elder Mark Sewell , 53, jailed for 14 years in 2014 for sex attacks.

These Astrantias are similar to mine. They come in many colours from white, to pink to red and the butterflies love them.

Theses are teasels which the
which the Red Admirals and, as you can see, the Goldfinches love. They have purple flowers before they go to seed as in the picture. They're architectural for the winter as well.

It could be someone just protecting the boundaries of their friend, telling you there are private things here that they have promised not to divulge. It's difficult for me to comment Kate without knowing the circumstances xx -

I love butterflies and I do get a lot of bees in my garden. I have a Buddleia davidii but they also seem to like aquilegia, not the fancy hybrids though. They also like astrantia, I have a white variety which is very beautiful.
When my daughter and I went to Blarney Castle in Ireland a few years ago they had a walkway planted with teasels which were covered in red admirals. I grow it in my garden now and it also attracts goldfinches who like the seeds.
We get a lot of peacocks, orange tips, tortoiseshells and some blues. We also get a species a bumblebee which makes burrows in the soil.
