I remember as a teenager hearing that Glenn Macfarlane had disbanded a cong and sacked some of the elders. What was that all about? Wasnt he ill because of all the fuss afterwards?

by Richard Oliver ini have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.

Straining out the gnat while gulping down a camel much?
While the amounts mentioned are estimates, all you want is for someone to come out with "yes, us raving apostates could be wrong", so you can feel all smug about yourself. The gnat.
Doesnt all the borgs money belong to yahweh for furthering the good news?
Then why is it being used to settle child rape cases? The camel.
Cant you see the fact something is seriously wrong by the fact that there are so many child rape cases?
Yet all you seem to spend your time doing is straining out a gnat to make you, you personally, feel better about being a dub.
Childish points scoring...

Hi Darkspilver, yes this article is indeed true. Knew the Cousin and Holt clan very well when a teenager.
I find the quote from Angie about Lot's daughters quite unnerving. Shows how the bible can mess with a kids head. I hope she can have a great life from now on.

What do You Think About Hybrid and Electric Cars?
by Village Idiot inbattery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.
while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.
hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

Toyota have lead the way in hybrid cars for years now, and they see a future in hydrogen celled electric cars. I would definately have one, but as with everything, it needs to be a consumer price as opposed to a rich git price ie. Tesla.
Also, graphene is being used more in batteries which make them lighter, more powerful and can hold a charge longer. https://www.graphene-info.com/graphene-batteries
Good article here:

How did you feel when you got baptized?
by Schnufti inback in 2005, i remember sitting in the stadium in the special rows with 42 others.
8000 people were looking at us - maybe even with a binocular - while listening to the speech.
my family and my friends among them, being all proud of me.. i don't remember being enthusiastic.

I got dunked so that I could "court" a pioneer sister. I was 16 at the time, with no plans to be a model dub. I had not a spiritual bone in my body.
Until some hellduh decided a swim was in order to even speak to this mega spiritual lady. So i was baptized at Scarborough arse-embly. My now wife was sooo proud of me I got a kiss and a cuddle that evening! Was worth every molecule of water.
Both been out for nearly 10 years now, and much happier. Would we change anything? No.
