as i sat through another mind numbing sermon this morning i could not help thinking that the speaker was a total clown.. lime green suit, white shirt, yellow tie, blue socks barely higher than his ankle, brown shoes, and an orange cast.
all that was missing was a big red rubber nose!
and of course everyone remarked what a wonderful talk he gave.
guy jumps out his car like the wild wild west and fire at deputies.. deputies return fire and suspect shot.
stand off at this time..
i couldn't keep the orthodox vegan fasting for lent.
no dairy to bind the oxalates in all the soy products did a number on my stony kidneys.
so i'm reverting back to rastafari i guess.
Data dog I had chicken last night and it was delicious...I need the enzymes and calcium in yogurt and cheese to keep from getting kidney stones, but both dairy and meat are hard for me to digest. Being Vegan actually felt good and regular, until my kidneys told me something was wrong.
Cappytan the only Dharmic religion that ever had any appeal to me was Sikh. I just can't believe anything a clean shaven man or unheadcovered woman says as a religious authority any more than a little boy or girl, I guess that makes me a bigot. In fact I should do a study with some Jehovah's Witnesses but make the brother wear a glue-on beard as a sign of respect to me as the householder.

Which would be the best talks to autotune?
will the gb finally admit there is systemic racism at the highest levels of the organization.
There are two definitions of racism
1. An individual bigot
2. Someone who perpetuates hegemonic, especially European or national majority racial or ethnic privilege either actively or passively
Since most Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in either changing the politics or the culture of this world, most of them, with the exception of a few bethelites working to preserve dying languages through Watchtower literature fall into the second category.
hi people, may i firstly thank those who have responded to to my intro article, i am replying to you all as a new topic because the direct messaging is not working for me at the moment so i can clarify my perspective on bible study.
yes there are many arguments that are put forward to demonstrate for example that the bible has been composed of numerous preexisting creation story's ect, my focus is to give the bible the same opportunity to defend itself as anyone reasonably expects if charged with some crime they are not guilty of.. i find for example the account of jesus response when questioned about the divorce certificate 'but it was not so in the beginning' confirms that moses allowed changes to be made to the original, that said consider also the religious traditions moses people had been exposed to, the story of the god enki who seduced even his own grandchildren and the well known incest of the egyptian royalty, given the genetic cost, are such practices any more right now than they were then?
communities that practice close relative marriages today are well documented for there higher risk of numerous health problems so how would you find moses on that basis, guilty or not guilty as jesus did because he understood why moses took the creation story's of other cultures and gave his people there own creation story that taught them to avoid the general pagan practice of incest.before looking any deeper at moses creation story may i also ask the question why does jesus knowing that god promised he would never again destroy the world by a flood as he did in noah's day say 'as in the days of noah ..the flood came and took them all away' so what did jesus actually mean mt 24:.
As an Orthodox Tewahedo Christian I strongly advocate that you read the following books ; the entire Catholic Deuterocanon, 4 Baruch, Jubilees, and Enoch as well as the Pre-Nicene and Desert Fathers, St. Augustine (especially what he has to say concerning the literal interpretation of Genesis), St. John Chrysostom (though his Anti-Semitism is at times over the top) and just to nail the coffin on Eurocentrism, the Kebra Nagast. There is more to scripture than the 66 Books of the Bible, and when it is all taken into account, Biblical Literalism in the face of scientific evidence must perforce be taken with a grain of salt compared to Biblical Allegory. When the widest canon of scripture is adopted, biblical literalism is shown for what it is, a desperate attempt on the part of Protestant pastors to keep the flock dumbed down with the illusion of spiritual knowledge.
As for the Muslims, the Orthodox have a long history of conflict and coexistence with them, sometimes as the dominant religion, and at other times the minority religion. Western Christians would do well to study that history and endeavor not to repeat the mistakes of the past rather than blindly buying into apocalypticism and Christian Zionism.
