A man brutally murders your family before youe eyes, security cameras and a hundred witnesses. His guilt is beyond doubt.

He is caught and hauled before the judge.

He exchanges a few words with the prosecutor, who turns around to the judge and says "the State has no case, your honour. The prosecution asks that all charges be dropped and the accused exhonerated."

The judge not only agrees, not only awards this murderer with a life-long pension, but turns around and convicts -you- because you didn't pay enough to the prosecutor.

(o.O)

Can anyone explain this parable?

My youngest brother just moved out yesterda and while we're all proud of him, mom's taking it hard, and to be honest, so am I. Mom has a condition so I take care of her, so its not like she's alone, but he's the BABY. I get choked up just thinking about it. it's like he's child, too, not just my brother. i remember his first day of school, i think i cried more than mom at his graduation! anyway, for people who've had their children move out, how did you cope?

please--no suggestions to replace him with a dog or drinking. we have a dog and we DON'T need a drinking problem, lol.

I used to want to live to 16 years old, then slit my wrist under a cheery blossom or peach blossom tree, because I thought die at young age is ultimate beauty------beautiful things never last long.

Now I think 40 years is enough, what about you?

Is it OK for lovers if they hug, kiss, caress in public places. Yesterday, in a corridor of Mall I saw a boy kissing her g/f and his hands were everywhere in her body, he even pressed boobs. At that time, that corridor was not full of people, but still there were occasional by passer like me. I was thinking they can do this thing in some private place instead in full public glare. May be I am jealous for not having such guts to declare I am having Gal.

What do you think?

I find it quite amusing when they call me an infidel, but I'm baffled as to how they can reconcile their superior attitude with their professed 'christianity.' Do you think they should learn some humility? They seem to think that everyone who doesn't agree with every point of their doctrine is going to 'burn in the lake of fire for all eternity........' It's really rather amusing.

hi dears,

in Matthew 26:39 ‘…he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father…”

Even Paul said:

Hebrews 5:7 “During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.”

Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face with loud cries and petitions? Was it himself? Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man, sane or insane, prays to himself! Surely the answer must be a resounding ‘No.’ Jesus was praying to “the only true God.” The God Jesus was the servant of, the One Who sent him. Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?

And The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of the Only True God:
“Truly, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (alone). This is the straight path.” (Quran 3:51)

peace to you

I am reading an old lyric composed by Bob Marley named Redemption song. This is a part of this lyric:

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.

Why Did Marley write "Old pirates yes they rob I - Sold I to the merchant ships" instead "Old pirates yes they rob ME - Sold ME to the merchant ships"?

and God..Philippians 2: 5-11...Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross. 9. Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The above was from the NIV Bible..it reads so simple and beautiful..Below is from your NWT..the same scriptures..It is not written the same way and it is attempting to take away the meaning of these scriptures..Why?

NWT..same scriptures:
5 Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. 8 More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. 9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Where do I start?

1) Could someone please define for me "real Christian"?

2) Are gays held to the rules and regulations of Christianity? Or, maybe more aptly stated, do Christians control homosexuals?

3) Why is this person happy about this statement? (see the smiley at the end?)

4) Is this like saying "friends don't let friends drive drunk" or "real Christians don't let friends become gay" or something like that?

I will not post the person who actually said this because I think originally posting it in all seriousness was embarrassing enough.

我很讨厌一个人。她以为自己很了不起。我应该怎么做？


I hate this person. She thinks that she is the vice-chairperson of the class and boast about. When it comes to duties such as cleaning the whiteboard, emptying the wastepaper basket, she never does that. She still has the cheek to say that she did her duty already, when in actual fact, my friend had to help her. When it comes to academic, she looked down on us, as if she is the class princess. What can I do?

Actually I am a teacher of English languagel, based in Alex, Egypt, and I am an Arabic<>English translator for more then 12 years. However, I used to normal paper translation or even normal translation on computer...but nowadays I can see the increasing demand of certain translation software usage like SDLX and TRADOS. Therefore I am seeking your advice and help if you could direct me to a place in Egypt, or on line, that could give me training courses in these very software programs and others for subtitling and interpretation if it is applicable.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

According to Thomas Jefferson - "Christianity...(has become)
the most perverted system that ever shone on man...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first greatest corrupter of the teaching of Jesus."

"There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zorastrian mythology in order to hide Paul's plagiarism." George Sarton - History of Sciences

While Paul never met Jesus, he was able to convince some gullible followers that he had seen Jesus in a vision.
