  A Catholic Priest died and went to Heaven. When he got there, some angels asked him what he wanted to do. He said he wanted to read the Holy Scriptures in the original manuscripts. Okay, thats fine, they said, and took him to a study and gave him the manuscripts.

  Some time later the angels returned to check on him and found the priest reading the manuscripts and sobbing uncontrollably. They asked him why he was so upset. With a terrible cry, he answered, "it says CELEBRATE, not celibate!"

  tee hee!

  Xander: Just because something is or isnt in the handbook is not the point. Its what actually happens that is the point. I am sure you know as well as I that what the rules might say and what actually happens are two different things. So, regardless of what her handbook might say, in real life where it counts, she was censored.

  Xander: that is YOUR school handbook. Every school is not your school, or hers for that matter. There are alot of schools where clothes with profanities and alcohol are either allowed or the prohibitions against are not enforced. My schools were probably not as strict as yours from the sound of it. I am about 10 years out of high school.
  The school this girl went to allowed marilyn manson and eminem but not her shirt. I am not trying to say theres some big conspiracy. This kind of stuff happens though, too often, and most kids would have been shamed into not wearing their shirt. I think if theres going to be rules they should apply equally.
  I just did show you a school that tried to. The teacher AND the Vice Principal. It took them a month to decide she had the right to wear that shirt.

  Hello.

  How could a shirt "force" a birth? Does a shirt that says pro choice force an abortion? That was the thing in this case, the kids wore whatever they wanted and some teacher got offended by the shirt this young woman wore. BTW, it also said "You will not mock my God. You will not silence my message" The problem was the word God. It wasnt just the teacher, the vice principal upheld it and reprimanded her. There was a monthlong standoff between her and the school. All the while everyone else gets to wear whatever they choose, but not her. That is intolerance!

  I understand why people don't want teacher led prayer in schools. No, I don't think its okay to force Christian or any other beliefs on others. I dont think they should burn all the books I don't agree with, either. The problem I've seen is, people go on about "tolerance" yet do not apply the same rules to beliefs and groups they don't like or agree with. There are kids having their rights violated by the intolerance of teachers and administrators, and in the name of tolerance! I think there is too much intolerance going on on ALL sides. Particularly with the way society is today, anything goes, except religion!

  Why is citing individual cases stupid? What does a kid refusing to sit in a chair have to do with the subject? This individual case, I think, is within the topic at least. The company that sold the shirts said it had recieved at least a dozen calls from other students whose shirts were censored, so its obviously not a completely isolated incident.

  I agree, apostate man. Did you hear about the high school student who was suspended because she wore a shirt that said ABORTION IS MURDER? I am not trying to get an abortion debate going, the point is that in her school, kids are wearing marilyn manson shirts and blood and gore and anything else they want, yet she wasnt allowed to wear her shirt.....they did get it fixed , she was allowed to return to school with her shirt. but why did the school administration deny her the right to wear it in the first place when for any other subject students are free to wear what they want?

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Cult?

  by trevor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mind control.

  when one is a member of a group such as jehovahs witnesses, it is not possible to be aware of the degree to which personal freedoms that are normally taken for granted are lost.

  the mind-control techniques used by the watchtower society are by no means unique.

  hello all... i came across this line of questioning many months on the inet so i decided that i would submit just this once to peer pressure and make a usefull contribution to the board.. here is the question... is jesus just "a god?".

  many of the regular inet surfers would have come across this line of questioning before so if you have you could just sit back and relax and read the replys.. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>.

  me: so is he a 'lesser true god' or a 'lesser false god?'.

  UnclePenn: i am with you completely. Scripture is very clear about the Diety of Christ, from Genesis to Revelation, the bible proclaims Him, even the NWT. I have not seen a single bible verse that contradicts it.

  I don't know why anyone has to start insulting people just because they don't agree. I would not start calling someone stupid because they don't believe in God or the Bible. Of course looking back to my own athiest/agnostic days, I did used to make fun of believers. So go ahead and make fun of me and say i am stupid if you must, i probably deserve it. I make no pretense to being some scholar. I am a simple high school educated housewife. But, I know what I believe and why.

  I liked that! In my kids public school, they still say the pledge of allegiance and at the kindergarten graduation, they sang Mine eyes have seen the glory and America America! i guess no one has complained yet.......of course, the K teacher is retiring this year, so who knows how much longer they will sing those songs.

  (double) apostate man: I am also doubly baptized, Lutheran church as a baby, Baptist at age 12. One of these days i will post a thread telling about them and some other experiences.

  Highlandyr: Isnt the antichrist supposed to be charming? -l- You remind me of my ex -ug-! You may be a cad (bet thats a compliment too) but obviously you have a heart for children so you must have some goodness somewhere in your heart. God loves you, Highlandyr, whether you believe in Him or not :) I truly believe that.
