A STUNNINGLY simple question about JOHN 3:16 "For God so Loved the world."
by Terry inon what basis did god so love the world?.
the world of mankind had been condemned to death by god's curse in eden!.
god viewed mankind as "dust on the scales".

VERY BAD NEWS...my son is going to Bethel............
by oompa ini can not describe the sadness of hearing him tell me, i asked him to think about what a great part time job he has, with free schooling.
he says they will probably take him back.
his abilities are suitable for closing down brooklyn, so at least he will be there (i love nyc).

I WAS INTERVIEWED ON TELEVISION...
by snowbird inon monday night, april 1, 2008.. the occasion was a parents' meeting to determine what is to be done with two elementary schools that have been determined by the state of alabama to be substandard.
my ten-year old granddaughter attends one of those schools.. the superintendent of schools is wanting to close those schools and bus the kids 3-4 miles to a new school that was built in 1999. the enrollment at that school has dropped sharply due to the razing of a housing project nearby.
he was at the meeting to assure us that it is a cost-saving measure and that he feels his solution is best.. well, some parents and grandparents goaded on by some teachers, gave the supt a hard time.

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

What do you think of todays youth?
by dawg inas many of you know, i live in a college town and therefore i'm around people much younger than me almost all day.
here's one thing i've noticed, the youth today have left the god of the bible behind.
they have been brought up in a world where information is available at a very rapid rate and have already figured out the biblical god is a fairy tale.

It's always the parents fault
by Burger Time ini am sure this topic has been covered but i was thinking about it today.
how parents have it about the worse in the org.
for any of us that have publicly left or spoken out against the wts with our parents the reaction is almost always the same, "i have failed as a parent".
