imagine my surprise when my wife shows me the cover of the october 2004 guideposts with serena williams photo on it and the caption, "serena williams serving the spirit.
" for those that have not heard of the guideposts, from its own pages, "guideposts is a monthly inspirational, interfaith, nonprofit magazine written by people from all walks of life.
its articles help readers achieve their maximum personal and spiritual potential.
Jehovah's witnesses ask for themselves all the time. I know I always did. I never heard anything wrong with it...
But the interfaith aspect of the magazine would have got ME into trouble. They are not cool with sharing religious thoughts even with other Christians.

go to this website, take a little time to read what is on it, and it will tell that eveything that the witnesse have been doing since the very day they started has had nothing to do with the god of israel.
so dont feel anyway bad when any of you leave this lieing institute, they are responsible for more spiritual and literal deaths on this earth than any of the orginisations they slag off.
I hope he plays the guitar better than he spells.

as scott peterson's mother exited the courthouse, where she heard the jury pronounce her son guilty of murder, the crowd moved in on her, jeered and booed her, and some spit at her.. scott certainly appears guilty and the jury who heard the evidence thought so.
i believe in the death penalty, but not in purely circumstantial cases like scott peterson's.
so, i favor life in prison, to give him opportunity either repent and pay his punishment, or to prove his innocence ... if he can.. however, to stand outside a court house to cheer at the verdict seems rather inane and ludricris.
Springer has nothing to do with it. The urge to spit and condemn is a human instinct recorded from the earliest times. It's still uncivilized, and demeans the spitter far more than the spittee.
the Bible is right when it says not to gloat when an enemy falls.
Disgusting. Weren't we all the subjects of that kind of group condemnation when we left the dubs?

according to yahoo news, if you drink a cup of urine a day, you can get rid of dandruff, graying hair can turn black, sinus trouble can vanish and even cancer can be cured!
in thailand, buddhist monks do this regularly and swear by it!.....what do you think?
?
I'm glad this has remained civilized. I hate when my urine threads flame...

the real issue
i know james is away, but this is not just for him.
he argued that human sin was responsible for the many evils that i pointed out about catholicism, and he held that the church was still doing christ's bidding.
The idea that Christians cannot participate in war is a false one. The decision to join an army or not to join an army, to join a war or not to join a war, is always down to the individual. Draft or no draft, penalty or no penalty, the decision of whether or not to fight is always down to an individual. A christian has to make the decision based on his christian conscience.
The blunt facts of history show us that there are things worth fighting for. There are things worth more than another person's life. Even the Dubs hope for a war to save them - Armageddon. Therefore, some Christians, indeed, many, decide to join an army for a worthy cause and then wage the war as professionally, humanely, and justly as possible. There are just wars. Led by propoganda, or human frailty, we may indeed wind up with a situation where English Catholics kill German Catholics.
How can the Catholic church "wink" at this? Simple. The Catholic church does not attempt to gain the solid mind control over the individual that the WT does. The Church, once home of the Inquisition and the Pogrom, actually demurs to the individual conscience in this matter. Although in larger terms, it has come out against the dogma of a pre-emptive war. Anyway - the individual conscience is not the province of the Church. How to wage a just war is not a question open to bishops, rather, it is the province of Christian soldiers.

i have been holding off making a public announcement for awhile because i have been waiting for all of the paperwork to become official... but the company that is building my house has been dragging their feet, trying to delay the inevitable.. the bottom line is this: i won't be able to buy the house.
when i was doing contract work, i was making x amount of money.
i had anticipated a pay cut caused by my becoming a permanent employee, but the pay cut turned out to be more substancial than i had anticipated.
I wonder what living on Manna for 40 years did to the hebrews???
Well, the Law required them to run outside the camp and apparently they needed a peg to help them. Talk about a binding arrangement!
