  Generally Speaking Do You Support The Police?

  by minimus in

  i know bad cops exist in many cities.

  i know some cops who aren’t “bad” but do have an attitude.

  however, i prefer to have law and order as opposed to chaos.

  Yes, I support the local police and athletes.

  I am a police supporter and an athletic supporter.

  Food for thought-if it wasn't for the Roman Catholic church would Christianity have faded out into oblivion?

  by nowwhat? in

  since it was the church that put together the bible canon and it was was them that spread the teaching throughout the known world.

  thoughts?.

  I don't think it would have faded out completely.

  It would just be like old reruns of Seinfeld and Cheers that never seem to go away.

  Would you be OK with someone removing "Jesus'" name from the New Testament?

  by Wonderment in

  would it be all-right with you if a translator removes "jesus'" name completely from the new testament and replaces it with a substitute, like "master" throughout?.

  I would have no problem with it.

  Since Jesus is a Puerto Rican name (pronounced hay-Zoos), why not use a real Jewish name like Sal or Irv ?

  Then give it a good Brooklyn accent when you speak it (like Irv = ooooiiivv).

  That would be more realistic.

  Dealing With Smelly People

  i can never understand why some people simply stink.they don’t smell themselves??

  i knew of certain jws that had to be counseled many times because they refused to regularly bathe, wash their hair or use deodorant.

  and it’s not just witnesses.

  I'm not sure if it is the person, the TV, the cable box, the remote or whatever, but when I leave Fox News on too long there is an acrid smell in the room. I've tried flushing both toilets and spraying some air freshener in the room but the air still reeks.

  Just saying.

  can someone please help me with this, if you’ve looked into it before?.

  i read somewhere that the witnesses didn’t celebrate the memorial on nisan 14 according to the jewish calendar.

  i did a quick google check - seems next years memorial is on tuesday (nisan 13) rather than the wednesday, nisan 14 according to the jewish calendar.

  If Jesus had just said to hold it sometime during Easter Week when the kids are out of school it may have eliminated the controversy.

  Simon accepts PayPal.

  Work out a deal.

  Deletion can be priced on a post-by-post basis. A monthly payment plan can be established if you have made a significant number of posts. Typically a formula is used based upon the number of posts times the number of words of the post to determine a bottom-line buy out figure.

  Just trying to be helpful.

  Having a woman in a men's prison is beyond the absurd.

  Even a man visiting the prison would be wise to carry the current publications along with a jar of Vaseline.

  by Doug Mason in

  i came across this article written in 2004 by an evangelical.. “when did jerusalem fall?”, rodger young, journal of the evangelical society [jets], 47/1 (march 2004), 21-38.. http://www.rcyoung.org/articles/jerusalem.pdf .

  these are the conclusions of the 18-page analysis.

  (1) jerusalem fell in the fourth month (tammuz) of 587 bc.
