There's a debate going on in another forum about whether corporal punishment is "normal" among JWs. Would appreciate your comments.

For some reason, that song just popped into my head. My mom use to play the radio when she was getting ready for work, and I learned a lot of pop tunes when I was a kid.

I hope I am mistaken. My son in law from Wisconsin hadn't a clue about grits or hushpuppies before he came south to visit. Unfortunately my son ordered his b-i-l some in a restaurant and we didn't butter and salt them up for him. He was a stranger to the delightful flavor of a hushpuppie also. In fact had never heard of them. Do folks across the big pond have any experience on these dining delights.

When you decorate your house for Christmas do you have it themed by color and style or is it just a hodgepodge off stuff you've collected through the years?

What if some of the people on here that we used to know and love haven't been back because they died?

That's kind of creepy.

Thoughts?

I understand using a speakerphone when you are listening to your bank account, or to hold music etc. But, I think it is very rude to call a place of business and expect that the person on the other end of the phone to deal with the laziness of not picking up the phone. (not blaming people who cannot do it, just the lazy ones).

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice way to tell them to pick their phones up? I have tried to tell them that I cannot hear them, then they scream (lol). I work in healthcare and would bet that there are HIPPA regulations affecting this anyway.

I had the misfortune of having to get the train & tube (London) into work this morning as I had a training course in the city (I would usually drive to work)

On the train, I was one of the first stops so thankfully I got a seat, tucking myself neatly in by the window on a bank of 3 seats. The 2 seats opposite me filled up as did the 1 on the end of my bank leaving a spare seat in the middle of me and a man.

3 stops in, a lady got on, roughly threw her bag on to the overhead shelf & instead of asking the man to move she threw herself down in the middle of us.

She was tucking her coat down her sides and span around & said to me in a very agressive tone, "can you move over please?" I was so shocked I laughed and said "where to? I am at the edge of the seat" (I was pressed up against the window by now)

As I could not move, she decided to open her metro paper full stretch and read it with her fist in my face for the rest of the journey!

Why are some people so bloody rude?

Is there some correlation between substance dependency and absence of religious faith? Would be interested to know if there's anything in this theory and if so how it works.

2007-10-23 04:10:09 · 22 answers · asked by SLF 6 in Religion & Spirituality

than where do these visions of ghosts and spirits derive from? Why are they roaming? There are so many historical and modern accounts of these instances where phenomena has occured and I personally don't buy the "oh there just crazy" theory. There are spirits out and about.........your thoughts.

Ofcourse this question is only for believers in God and spirits so if you can help it and restrain yourself, please no silly retorts.

They have long held the view that rape is less bad than masturbation because at least it can result in pregnancy, how do they manage to arrive at this travesty of morality?

I am aware of the passages in Leveticus. Don't bother quoting that to me.

I'd like something a bit deeper than: "It's an abomination!"
Why should this bother a being of infinite power?
Why should it bother you, what your neighbour is doing in the privacy of his home?
With all the suffering in the world, why should it matter at all?
