  This case is like trying to grab an eel.

  I guess the Wt. Leaders don't want a repeat of Fred Franz and the Scottish Trial.

  Yahoo News is carrying the $13.5 million verdict as a top story. The local southern California newspapers are carrying the story as well.

  Was the Biblical Canon Directed by God?

  by Chris Tann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a question a sincere christian may agonize over after learning that some books of the bible were rejected by certain early christian groups,while other books that did not make the canon were accepted.

  also,when one realizes that so called inspired writers of the greek scriptures quote from apocrypha,that most christians reject today,one wonders if these writings that include these quotes should even be in the bible.. it is true that when it comes to the christian greek scriptures the canon has been closed for many centuries.

  also, these books have been accepted by christians ever since the second,perhaps first,century.

  Chriss and others- What is your view of the long conclusion to The Gospel of Mark, 16:9-19.

  As JWs we were directed to discount this ending because of its appeal to miracles.

  Singapore: The Religious consequences of Tim Cook coming out as gay

  by fulltimestudent in

  as if we needed any further evidence that the minds of christians are not all that they should be, the shenagins in the christian segment of the christian segment of the singapore population once again demonstrated that each time they fart, they blow some of their brains away, and sadly they fart so much that there's not much brain left.. i guess most people have heard that time cook (boss of apple) publically stated this week that he was gay and proud of it.

  in most of the western world, it barely caused a ripple, but not so in singapore where christians are always lobbying the government against sin.. but, tim cook as a gay man provoked the ire of the singaporean church leadership.. i have not heard that anyone claimed that using an apple iphone would make you gay, but prominent church leader lawrence khong, was commissioned as an apostle by dr. peter wagner, of the international coalition of apostles, in 2000. .

  on hearing the news about tim cook, lawrence khong stop using iphone and even denounced technology altogether.

  britain is refinancing some soverign war bonds dating from the crimean war, napoleonic war and wwi, 2 $billion worth.

  2 century old debt.. our president has been reluctant to begin another war when the debt of the previous two wars hangs heavy.

  those of the prowar persuasion have insisted on 'boots on the ground' a move that would require 100,000s of personnel in the middle east and allocating billions in debt to cover the cost.. "every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed" president eisenhower.

  "Necessary" these wars and conflicts always have a necessary component to them, mostly humanitarian.

  21 countries selling arms into the ISIS conflict, business, as they say, is booming.

  Col. John Paul Vann pulled back the curtain on the corruption and politics of the Vietnam War in his book The Bright Shining Lie. And of course every President since Kennedy remembers Nov.22,1963 and the message it sent.

  o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).

  if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!

  so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

  Neutral? The Wt. Leaders hung us out to dry during the Vietnam War. In Mexico it was Ok to bribe your way out of Military Service while in the US you could be DF'd for taking a hospital job as alternative service.

  Kate, here in the US we just saw the Veterans Administration exposed for insufficient resources to treat the Veterans we have. Congress voted to cut funding. Over 8,000 Veterans committ suicide every single year. Yet certain 'Hawks' want more blood spilt.
