@Earnest - it would be profoundly undemocratic to allow the tiny populations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to override the rest of the UK.

If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.
by punkofnice inthis was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.
somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.
the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

Animals as vegetarians thread continued
by Crazyguy2 ini found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.
inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.
whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.

Only One Destiny for All Christians
by cofty inthe following is an extract from an article i wrote when i left the watchtower 25 years ago.
it may be helpful in reasoning with a jw about the anointed/great crowd distinction.. --------------------------------.
to divide people into those with a heavenly hope and those with an earthly one is not a biblical concept.

The ressurected Jesus need not defecate - but the pre-resurrected Jesus had to defecate, right?
Jesus was flesh and blood. Mary gave birth to him via her vagina, in the same way all other humans are born.

Movie Review 1917
by Terry inmovie review"1917".
i so seldom seek to sit inside an actual movie theater anymore.however ...some films are absolutely tailored for it.life of pigravityavatar3 examples of movies which do not translate to your home viewing...at all.good, bad, or indifferent - some films are visual and immersive.. here is a sacred pronouncement:movies are a visual medium.in the hands of an orson welles (i.e.
citizen kane) they are a radio play+visual storytelling medium._____.

LUHE , I hope you wont be disapointed in "lighthouse" I panned it but my son loved it ? I cant understand it - I don't think the film is for everybody. It may be that I won't like it, I don't know for sure. But I liked Robert Eggers's previous effort, The Witch (2015). I'm definitely gonna buy it on DVD.

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

@Phizzy - It depends where in Ireland and Scotland you visit. All Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig) speakers are bilingual in English.
Most Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) speakers also speak English. There might be one or two elderly Gaelic speakers in Ireland who don't speak English, I'm not sure.
The areas of Scotland with high concentrations of speakers are the Outer Hebrides, particularly Lewis.
I'm not sure about which areas of Ireland have high concentrations of speakers, although probably areas in the west of the country would be a good bet.
Most, if not all, speakers are fluent in English but it would be good to learn a few phrases - even just 'please' and 'thank you' - if you go to a Gaelic-speaking area.

To the best of my knowledge, what is born of spirit is Spirit. Never humans - Jesus was a first century human being who allegedly went to heaven. You're gonna have to do better than that, fella.
how do you now explain Revelation 21:3,4 that says " Humans " of flesh and blood will dwell forever without dying ? - this doesn't explicitly state that humans will live forever on planet earth. If you maintain otherwise, it is up to you to show us your working out.
I'm not going to do your research for you.
