Are humans pre-dispositioned to be attracted to the OPPOSITE sex???
by gumby ina strange thought came to mind when conversing with a fellow poster here on the phone the other night.
the conversation was about enviroment, culture, and society....... and it's effects on human behavior, desire, and thinking.. here is the scenario....................after jehovah put adam in the garden and just before he made eve........lets say he did it this way.
god makes adam......then after adam gets a bit lonely and horney........god brings to him a male and a female he also made from the dust.

unless the stocks that have risen are military related stocks...then there is no parallel...though one must wonder if the Bush Tax cuts (to include the tax cut concerning stock dividends being taxed twice) might have something to do with it...or the fact that the economy is growing ...and doing so in NON MILITARY sectors of the economy.
Absolutely not, technology is the way this war is fought. I'd be curious to see their communications and information databases budgets. Nasdaq up 50 % this year. Also the renewal of arsenals can be put on the back burner since you have showed to the world in Baghdad that you can kick ass. They don't know for sure if you've got more of it or not. Right? So that can wait, money can move somewhere else.
The tax cuts, of course they must've had an effect. I guess time will tell if it wasn't borrowed money.
we're even more dependent on foriegn oil than ever...and all efforts to break that dependency are blocked by the Environmental crowd...who apparently didn't mind sitting in line for hours to get their 10 gallons of gas for their car....nor have alternatives been developed...and I do blame the oil companies for that.
Do you realize how in one parapraph you have summed up the situation? As I recall, and I'm pretty sure this is a fact, isn't your president an oil man?
And you'll accuse environmental groups for not wanting you to go and secure those oil fields for yourself so you can keep on living and promoting a lifestyle which puts strains on the environment. Why do you believe that only you have a right to that oil?
For you I guess, it's important to continue using oil as an energy source, even if it's effects has an impact on the environment. Until of course one day, you'll have to change and you won't have a choice. Why not make that choice now. We don't really need the flashing lights of Vegas , NY, LA., do we?
Alternatives exist if you want to throw the rignt amount of money at it. The more you develop something, the cheaper it gets. That's why you're dependant on oil. And yes the oil men are guitly of making sure other alternatives don't get the funding. But I'd be curious to know how much of these alternatives are owned by people in the oil business.

20,000 Die While "GOD" Watches as he sips Iced Tea
by JT intoday i had an interesting conversation, not with a christian believer but a muslim believer, .
he was trying to recruit me into the faith--so i thought i would pose the question to him about why his god watches as 20,000 believers (muslims) women, children, etc lost thier lives-.
his explanation i thought was straight out of a christian handbook on.

Had pretty much the same conversation with a Christian friend of mine a few hours ago.
Of course he said....it's part of the sign....
I told him that earthquakes were the only part of the sign not attributed to human activity....so I asked....is god triggering these earthquakes, cause it certainly ain't man....and if he is, isn't he guilty of murder....
it's part of the sign he says....
yah....whatever....

" Nobody knows the day or the hour..accept the father".
by gumby inahhh!
but how about the year?????
i always wondered if those that predict the year of the lords return......somehow feel justified, that they would not be going against jesus words if they mearly predicted the year.....and not the day or hour.
-

I don't think I would debate with such a person...too many predicted years have failed to materialize...and not just by the witnesses. If someone cannot understand that it is impossible to predict future, then why argue.
gopher...good twist...and a day could mean a thousand years also....LOL
JC...you've got it backwards....I know you'll disagree
If we were not supposed to be counting days and "nobody knows the DAY.."
You mention the 70 weeks....which in my opinion is the only chronological prophecy that can be verified so far. It's easy to look at and understand, cause it has been accomplished, which in my opinion, is why prophecies exist....So we can calculate them after they have been accomplished.
Phophecies were not given so we can decipher them prior to their accomplishment, but rather to see god's ability to predict and control events (if one believes in god that is) after the events have taken place and accomplished, sort of a tool to build faith in him that future events will take place as he has foretold.
To try and read the timing of prophecies is somewhat useless, since god blocks our ability to do so prior to their accomplishment. We'll never know for sure if we understand them correctly, or if we know for a fact which events triggered the beggining of such prophecies. When he uses the term "to be in expectation" he simply means that one should be in constant expectation of events which could happen in his lifetime. It does not mean that one would expect them because he knows the timing, it means rather the opposite, be in expectation all the time cause you do not know the day nor the hour.
Jesus said that it was the good you did unto others which guaranteed a place in heaven, not chronology studies or if you could predict the date correctly. JW have killed the faith of many by attempting to do so.
