In the big scheme of things, Jesus'....
by SixofNine in...suffering was not so bad.
his "perfection" and understanding of the situation would certainly have mitigated his suffering.. his death was not really death, not in any meaningful sense.
it was a 15 second nap, using bible reasoning.

Failed predictions
by joelbear inwhen all this happened last tuesday i predicted the market would fall 600 to 1000 points and that gold and oil would go way up in price.. well, i got 1 out of 3 right.
batting .333. i sure wouldn't want to try to make a living on being able to predict stuff right.. just posting this to show that even a dummy like me can get things right once in a while, but that the intricacies of life are too complex for anyone to get everything or even a high percentage of things right.
live life.. hugs.

The relative numbers....
by SixofNine in....of this story kind of shocked me.
not sure why.. the rebel group says it has 15,000 trained fighters and 15,000 others willing to fight, and that it could use its experience from its struggle against the taliban to aid in any military action the united states may decide to undertake.
just noticing how small their group is, relative to the total killed in tuesdays attacks.

Lest we forget; the other side of the coin
by Abaddon inthis is a post i've copied from randy's board (tishie's old board) - it was in turn copied from somewhere.. .
i've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing afghanistan back to the stone age.
" ronn owens, on kgo talk radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage.

by MegaDude infrom the associated press:.
kabul, afghanistan (news - web sites) (ap) - beleaguered afghans streamed out of the capital on saturday, fearing a u.s. military strike against their taliban rulers who harbor osama bin laden (news - web sites).
the taliban urged residents to ``stand proud'' - and threatened to wage war on countries that help the united states in an attack.

You're Anointed? Nooooooooo!
by Englishman ini hear stories that jw's really hate it when someone suddenly claims to be of the "anointed" class.
apparently, such new claims are strongly discouraged.. my jw mum says that the reason for this is that when someone claims to be anointed, it can only mean that they are replacing someone else.
in other words, an anointed person has "fallen away from the truth".
