if you believe that the governments of the world will really say "ok un we have had enough of you go away" then your a nutter.

i can always see a need for the un to be in place even if their sole duty is to help struggling countries put themselves together again.

if the un was done away with (and lets face it, does that really seem likely ?

QFR...If A Christian Hears Voices Does That Mean He Is Under Demon Attack?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
answer; "no.

"....the article instantly tells us that "many have learned they have a medical problem",like schizophrenia or other physical conditions that can cause mental confusion.

the article ends this way, "hence, while an individual who reports hearing voices or who has other disturbing sensations may not want to discount demon harrassment, he should definitely be encouraged to consider investigating whether there is physical explanation for what he is experiencing".......so no more blaming everything on the poor demons!!
