I had a bill collector call my job. I requested they not call me at work and disconnected the call. They proceeded to call back several times after that (3x in 10 minutes). Don't I have some rights? Also, they are a debt purchasing agency that my debt was sold to. What can I do?

28 years ago today 18 members of Britains Royal Parachute Regiment were killed in an IRA ambush at Narrow Water, Co Down. On the same day in Co Donegal, Lord Mountbatten of Britains anti-Catholic Fascist Royal familly was assasinated in Donegal. The Paras were the regiment behind the murders of 14 Catholic civil rights marchers on Bloody Sunday in Derry in January 72. The events of August 28, 1979 were seen as retribution for what happened on Bloody Sunday and graffiti appeared in Catholic districts in the north of Ireland stating 'Bloody Sunday not forgotten, we got 18 and Mountbatten'. The ambush at Narrow Water was Britains greatest single loss in the troubles in Ireland. Was this attack against the Paras justice for the victims of Bloody Sunday or will justice not be served untill Britain is finally ejected from Ireland?

Dear Mr Gillies

Thank you for your response. The Guardian will not publish your letter because it appears to us to be untruthful, or possibly part of your sect's ludicrously-entitled "theocratic war strategy"......In addition, your letter appears to be at a certain amount of variance with what your Portuguese colleague told a newspaper there, when a journalist followed up the story, that the NGO status was applied for to assist the WTBTS's humanitarian aid work in the Third World. Was it to do this or to apply much more mundanely for access to the library?

I have the entire correspondence between these two. These are excerpts that fit here.

When we ask for forgiveness, are we allowed to pray silently, or do we have to confess out loud what we are asking for forgiveness for?

I feel atheism is very sensible. But I can't find a suitable explanation for a particular event in my life. Other events have happened that some would term 'supernatural', but this is the only one I cannot provide a suitable explanation for.

Some time ago I became a born-again Christian through a relationship with one. I visited, with someone close to me, a healing session led by an evangelist. His name is Jonathan Conrathe if you want to look him up. I didn't overly like the man, but he was good at speaking.

In his team of healers and evangelists were two women. I wear glasses and went up to the main guy to get my eyes healed. I had all the faith in the world. It didn't work. Anyway, this person who is very close to me was approached by these two women. I am running out of space, but her 'twisted spine' and lifelong backache was healed. It remains healed today. And she had no faith, she hated anything supernatural. Any non placebo-effect explanations?

That the bible and christianity is a sham. I understand that you believe it is the truth - that's why I said 'pretend'.
What would be the hardest thing to accept? That you were worshipping a god that doesn't exist? That you don't have an immortal soul and this life is all there is?
Thoughts, please.

If it is... can ANY of it be considered as true? All powerful men are liars and their works must also be considered untrue.

The bible was NOT given to human beings by god.
It was written by romans. Written to hold the governed masses in fear. It was written to allow the emperor to tighten the hold on "his" empire.

So, christians.... is it man made, and therefore a lie, or did it come from the stars or heaven or whatever?

You KNOW. it was written by a guy dont you?

I always sit next to my bf in his vehicle and get out on his side. We were on a date, after newly becoming bf & gf, when I got out of the car, we kissed and our noses let off a huge vibrant spark. It was baby blue in color, large in size and it was so strong we felt it all through our bodies. That has never happened to either one of us. I know if you drag your feet on a carpet or etc it creates a spark, but it wasn't the same feeling as that. I've always wondered if it meant anything. Our relationship is the best that either of us has ever had. Does anyone have any theories?

Our country is not being flooded with immigrants, global warming is not caused by them and neither are housing shortages. Look at the facts before you allow the media to tell you what to think please. I dont know how many times this will have to be said before someone believes it, but the colour of you skin or any other aspect of your looks, does not determine your personality or beliefs. You could try and understand and accept people before you judge them.
Please think before you mindlessley accept.
