  Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Goblins? Aliens?

  If not, why not?

  Ask first wether this god or a son really exists. When you can prove that as a fact, then give him your worship.

  In that order....

  I didnt mind Glenn and Sally, a bit black and white thinking, and a company man through and through, but quite a likeable fellow. I remember his liking for really high waisted trousers.

  i have a legitimate question and i am not trying to start a fight.

  i keep reading that there were 6 child abuse lawsuits that settled for 13 million dollars.

  how do people like barbara anderson or jwsurvey or jwfacts come up with this number?

  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...

  this is from the website of the daily mirror - a british 'mass-market' red-top tabloid.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/daily_mirror.

  in the words of simon: "peers morgan was editor of the mirror and forced to resign after they published faked photos alleging that british soldiers were abusing iraqi's (around the time of ahu ghraib).

  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.
