  i was reading this story on cnn.com this morning about pastor youcef nadarkhani spending 1000 days on death row in an iranian prison for having converted to christianity and refusing to deny his faith.. .

  Our survival instinct is very strong. We don't need Holy Spirit to want to survive. He obviously had motivation to survive great enough to do so. He didn't need any magic juju to do it.

  After the cauldron it became a big bore. The whole music section with the black girl and boy were so out of place. We gave up.

  last month i heard a talk from a c.o.

  he mentioned that the door to door service will come to an end.

  he said that jehovah will tell us to stop it, eventually.

  It died for many after 1995 when they stopped seperating the sheep from the goats. It sort of took the wind out of their sails. When the the generation thing went kablooy most have been going through the motions. When they lose 1914 it will become the work of hardcore zombies only.

  Penn State pays for covering up Sandusky crimes, BIG TIME

  this sends a clear message to other universities who may be harboring child molesters.. excerpt:.

  the sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport.

  but the ncaa hit penn state with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years.. other sanctions five years' probation, and the ncaa also said that any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.. ncaa president mark emmert announced the staggering sanctions at a news conference in indianapolis.

  Really?

  “It definitely hurts,” former quarterback Michael Robinson told ESPN.

  “We all worked hard, especially the time that we were there and I’m sure other football players that played under Joe during that time worked for those wins," Robinson said. "Joe worked hard for those wins. The coaching staff, the fans, the alumni who stayed supporting us definitely worked hard during that time to put a good product on the field, to really work hard at playing football.”

  I guess Michael Robinson wouldn't agree with you.

  How many hundreds of innocent young men played football without the knowledge that there was any wrongdoing by Sandusky or his gang of thieves? How many won championiships after playing their hearts out? How many of these young men would have turned in Sandusky had they known or any of these enablers for what they did? They didn't get a chance to do anything and yet they have been stripped of what they earned. Isn't there some sort of abuse there? Its the baby with the bathwater self righteous over kill happening here. Take the bastards to court but don't make more kids, albeit older ones, suffer for the sins of others.

  I was commenting on the Faux disgust, not weighing one fanatic against another. Pretend outrage is of no value, just state the facts, these drones ignored those drones. Tis all.

  "Unbelievable" reaction? Gimme a break. You haven't been around long have you? Their mindset is that this guy is misled and probably an apostate thus the reaction. I think this disbelief is all show. You know damn well they are acting on dogma. I would have ignored him too, even now. Religious fanatics are all suffering from mental weakness. I'm not willing to be led by the nose by the Jesus of their making. He was a wretch and now he's free? Hardly.

  The reason I just can't believe in god

  for the first time in ages though, i actually re-evaluated my position on god/wt.. i had attended a few funerals in the spring and had also reignited some friendships with people from the hall.

  but actually, i just keep going round in circles in my mind.

  i cannot back an organisation with such a flawed past and one that endorses such policies as shunning & blood.

  God is simply absent. In his absence the middlemen have taken over. Now I don't care where he went. He's a deadbeat dad.
