No problem with LG or anyone walking their own line and glad to see it. It's just a compare and contrast as to how your R&F dub would be treated when they walk their own line.

Is Larry Graham an Elder?
by ShirleyW ini think he is, but i"m not too sure.
just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..

So LG can wear purple but wearing black is ALWAYS wrong,
What if there was a request to wear a specific colour to a funeral - you can bet some self-righteous elder would crack down on it.

“all those dealing with blood and caring for surgical patients have to consider bloodless surgery.”—dr.

That's a bank holiday weekend. I would love to say hello but will be unable to get to London those days. It's also the zone visit and I will have to endure a three hour drone session on Saturday. -

AGREE? or DISAGREE? Popular Music

"from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

If you watch the video it's clear that the guy is not making a generalised statement about all contemporary music. He is making a statement about much of the production line chart filling dross that comes and goes with each week.
As someone who listens to a lot of new and emerging music I know there is a wealth of fantastic stuff out there that is relevant and has artistic merit. Every age has the same and you've always had to wade through crap to find the gold.
I hate the idea that the only music with any merit, the best stuff ever created just happens to be the music you liked in your teens and twenties. It's as stupid an idea as saying the religion one is born into has to be the only true one.
I agree with much of what the guy has to say but that is not the same as saying that all new music is crap.

Ask one of your elders to explain it. Then ask him to explain it using the Bible.
I bet few of them will be able to the former off the top of their head. As for the latter, it's not possible.

Muslim Shopkeeper Murdered for Wishing Friends a Happy Easter on Twitter
by cofty inhorrible crime in glasgow on thursday evening when a well loved muslim shop keeper asad shah was stabbed to death by at least one other muslim man.
mohammad faisal, a family friend, said a bearded muslim wearing a long religious robe entered mr shah’s shop and spoke to him in his native language before stabbing him in the head with a kitchen knife.. mr shah had posted the twitter message ‘good friday and a very happy easter, especially to my beloved christian nation’.
residents of shawlands in glasgow say he was well respected and had been known to hand out christmas cards to neighbours despite being of a different faith.. hundreds have turned out in a vigil near the crime scene....

I think the transposition is fair enough in terms of the possibility of the Bible being used to justify all sorts of heinous acts, even if you allow for some difference between the overall tone of the NT v the OT.
I would also say that there obviously individual Muslims that have no truck with any sort of violence and do have a live and let live attitude. The problem is that these seem to have very little voice.
It's not really about "not real Muslims/Christians" though. What is so difficult about the spiritual leaders of the Muslim people of Scotland and Glasgow being able to join with others in a visible act of condemnation? What is it about the general cultural that means individuals and leadership are not empowered to raise a voice for tolerance and anti-extremism.
Christianity has a torrid history when it comes to persecution, white elitism, violence and extremism. Thankfully this is (a) pretty much a thing of the past and (b) widely condemned when it does happen. Why?
Because most "Christians" couldn't care less what other people do so long as it does not hurt anyone else, regardless of what their interpretation of the Bible might have to say about it.

Not sure I understand the above, especially the first long sentence in parentheses.
Are you saying the Witness that was a creditor was another person ("Bill") and that Bill made the accusation which was then processed by Morley? In other words Morley has nothing to do with the business transaction and is just acting as a back stabbing elder to rid the congregation of Otuo.
