annie, if you are afraid of what the Bible says about homosexuality, then change your ways because you cannot change The Word. You cannot censor Pastors, you cannot censor the Bible, you cannot censor God.

Hackers Bust N.Korean Propaganda Site International hacker group Anonymous on Thursday broke into Uriminzokkiri, a North Korean website that spreads propaganda from North Korea's official KCNA news agency. The hacker collective released the personal information of the website's 9,001 subscribers, including their ID and password, name, date of birth and other details. The South Korean National Intelligence Service said, "Many of the leaked details on the website match those of South Koreans." Police are taking a keen interest. A National Police Agency spokesman said, "A considerable number of people who want to access information about North Korea are registered on...

Here is one of the REAL mmmm mmmm mmmm moments, (to me, anyway.) When we come home, one of our puppies give us puppy hugs. She leans on us with all her might with her tail wagging madly. MMMM MMMM MMMM and it ain't Barrack Hussein Obama!!!

Ralph Hayes walked up the pitch-black stairways of a north Houston apartment building Sunday, pulling a wheeled ice chest that thumped up the steps behind him. He emerged into a stifling hallway and knocked on the first door to his right. "Hello?" he shouted. "We've got water and sandwiches if you need it." Hayes and his wife, Charlotte Hayes, were on a mission of mercy at the Heights House, whose elderly and disabled tenants have been without power, water or telephone service since Hurricane Ike struck the Gulf Coast early Saturday. Over the weekend, thousands of Houstonians demonstrated similar devotion...

I received an email from my pastor about Rick Warren's interview with "those two" on CNN and also received another email from an old timer freeper FRiend warning me about Rick Warren. Please share with me what you know about this man and what he stands for (without in-fighting if you can? 'Cause you are not going to change anybody's mind by arguing?) Gotta go run some errands but will check back in when I come back, so don't think I am being rude by not replying right away. Thanks.

Michael Newdow seeks to remove “In God We Trust” from U.S. coins and dollar bills, claiming in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday that the motto is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Newdow, a Sacramento doctor and...

The 4TH OF JULY Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers...

Can anyone guestimate the value of an old tea pot? It's bright red (chinese red?) and made by Hall in LA. It's in good condition - no chips. Photo coming soon. On the bottom, there is a square stamp that says, "Hall's superior quality kitchenware" and it has a (low) number to the right of it. Curious as to the value of it to help me decide whether to sell it or not to an antique dealer. I ran across this while going through my stuff getting ready for garage sale. If you know something about this, I'd appreciate your...

I've been feeling a little pain in my left hand when I make a fist or move it certain ways the last week or so. Dismissed it as part of getting old. Just now, I've discovered the source of my annoying pain. It's about 3 inches above the middle point between my index and middle finger toward my wrist and there's a semi hard lump about the size of a dime in diameter and about 3/8" in height. When I press it, it sends a little pain down to my middle and ring finger. Oh sure, I will surely be...

Glenn Beck, aka, "a sick freak" posted a Memorial Day Essay (audio) written especially for Vietnam veterans. He made my "tough" Vietnam veteran hubby cry. Below is the text that I typed with hubby's help for those of you with slow connection. I type pretty fast, but couldn't keep up with Glenn's audio, so hubby would play some and pause while I catch up, etc. Of course the text doesn't convey the emotion, but at least, you can read it. Please excuse any mistakes or typo's. OH, and Glenn? Please don't sue me? You said it was free for all...

Hello FReepers, My brother-in-law is engaged in a heated battle with his next door neighbor in Michigan over kerry and he needs some pictures to prove that kerry is NOT a supporter of our troops. It all started with Rob (brother-in-law) displaying BUSH/CHENEY sign in his yard and the neighbor put his kerry/edwards sign AND also stuck a "Support Our Troops, Vote for Kerry" sign, which infuriated him, since his own brother is a Vietnam Veteran. So, he asked us to send him some pictures of kerry engaged in ANTI activity. Naturally, I came here looking for them but there...

Kerry: 'I'd Like to Visit Korea's Buddhist Holy Sites.' Senator John Kerry Possible Democratic Party Presidential Candidate John Kerry and the Korean Buddhist martial art of Shim Gum Do. Althought the two might not appear to go together, a certain karma has been developing between them for the last 10 years. Kerry is very close to Shim Gum Do's founder, Zen Master Kim Chang-sik, and has been a very strong supporter of Kim's activities in the United States. They exchange letters once a month to exchange views on Zen and spiritual discipline, and meet whenever the need arises. Just to...

Vent away, FReepers!

CONTINUED FROM HERE, Thread II I have noticed something peculiar since I joined FR. We are so very divided in all ways imaginable when it comes to certain issues, i.e., abortion, GW, taxation, our border, etc. But I present to you an issue that I believe most -if not all of us- can agree upon and unite as FReepers, rather than as single-issue individuals. I believe that at the very core of our democracy exists our ability to speak up and voice our opinion and be heard by the very government officials whom we elect. And when our voices are ...
