My 15 y.o. son is a member of the RNZAF Air Training Corps and loves it.
If you had asked me as recently as five years ago about letting my children join the armed forces, nothing would have been further from my mind.
Ironically, I've always had a love of all things aeronautical so I guess he just picked up on that. Something told me I would be seen as hypocritical if I refused to let him join.
The structure of the military seems to work for him without stifling his adolescent 'joie de vivre'.

I need to send an e-mail to all the dubs I know asking the significance of the numbers in the following;
"If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels "
And by the way, I already have that 'hairy hump' ;) -

False Religion
by real one inthis can be so overwhelming.
there are so many false religions around today that it is astounding.
if a person does not have a strong bond with god it is easy to fall prey to the devil's deceitful plans.

Velvetann, by observing realones responses and manner of addressing others opinions over the course of time I am convinced that:
He /she has a very aggressive spirit but not that of Jesus Christ
Misreads or ignores debates of logic.
Makes sweeping generalities and delivers them as fact.
Is thin skinned and short tempered in real life and probably has very few friends.
Preaches on the internet because she is homebound or feels that it is her God directed mission.
These are my honest and subjective observations -

I just asked everyone in my house if they'd heard of you. They asked your name. But I didn't tell them.
So you're wrong! -

"I think it will morph into a tighter closed religion such as the Amish. The screws will get tighter and the group will shrink but be much more of a hard core, us against them, stay away from the rest of mankind, religion." - wha'pen. My thoughts exactly.

I suppose the first one that comes to mind is Jehovahs Witnesses. They openly claim to be Gods true worshippers but by their record of faithlessness and hypocrisy they have brought shame to Gods name.
How'd I do?? -

The Internet, JWs and Being Told Dont Use It.
by uwishufish inas a public school teacher and standing in front of a class room i found it a way to advocate something questionable such as a borderline tv show or the radio show of risquay djs by telling the class this was not good and they should not listen to these.
knowing all the while the next morning on the way to school they would be listening to bob and tom in the morning.. so do any of you believe that some of the jws take being told don't use the internet is their que to open their browser?.

Same as zeroday, would have been terrified of the www.demons.
However, I think the generation of people for whom the internet has always existed are more likely to say WTF!?? -

"You are not God so therefore who are you to tell him when to act. God is not our gennie or sky daddy! He does what he wants when he wants. you should be glad he has not ended the world yet. how many people do you know you need to preach the gospel to so that they will be saved? Are you saved yet?" - realone
Realone, when are you going to wake up to the fact that God is NOT interested in saving anyone.
People are being born FASTER than they can be preached to!
God is not interested in his creation. -

Rattus Norvegicus - The Stranglers IV I was an unusually untrendy 14 year old. I wore the first album out and I have since found a mint pressing to wear out again. (Liberation for women, that's what I preach...preacher maaaan)
