NO!
Not just no, but HELL NO! I have no desire to run for any political office. I don't relish the limelight. I rather like working behind the scenes.
I suggest you find a mentor.
Not really. I just think you are amusing.
actually-- i think the same of you-- no matter where we stand-- I did enjoy the banter and debate-- I rarely get to do that any more--
IRON SHARPENS IRON!
Thanks-- I sincerely enjoyed it-- I am not being sarcastic..
wow!
you really need to get some sleep..
really..
I was just cordial- and there you go--
yeah- I make it all up as I go-- uhuh-- this is all an illusion...
through all of it-- I disagreed with you, but I had respect for you- now I am done--
Except while you are doing all that arguing, someone is dying.
I think it's a waste of time, talking about death threats to children, see #1554.
I'm outa here, nighty night.
"Let grandma go to Jesus." it's that what she said. Does that sound like an evil person?
It sounds like someone who doesn't have a grasp of Scripture. My best friend is an ordained minister. She's also been a hospital chaplain for years. We spoke of these things 2 nights ago. She has seen families make hard decisions. We agree on matters of life.
"Let" and "allow" are not accurate terms in recent cases. Those terms imply the person is at deaths door or beyond it, as in terminally ill or brain death. But Mrs Gaddy was not addressing such a situation. There's a great difference between allowing the end and forcing the end. Apparently, Mrs Gaddy was trying to force her grandmother into Jesus arms and was trying to sugarcoat it. That statement won't fly with anyone who knows God. But it does sound good and WILL fool those who do not know any better. Some of todays churches are all about a "feel good" Jesus and they have nothing to do with the Truth.
The bottom line is Mrs Gaddy hasn't the right to usher Grandma into the Presence until it's her Grandmother's time. She didn't give her Grandmother life. She has no right to decide it's time to take it away.
Well, just going on my own genealogy - in my 33rd generation, for example - let's take Edmund (Ironside) - he was born in 989AD. (1016 years ago. You originally said 1000 years re these societies that separated.... ) No, the average generation isn't 45 yrs - but women did, routinely HAVE children at that age. They had many children back then , not unusual to have 10-12.
a paper from MIT: http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Papers/Rohde-MRCA-two.pdf has some great charts near bottom

"Roberts (Gary Boyd Roberts, noted genalogist/author) also says "anthropologists claim everyone on earth is a 40th cousin"
he he - agreed
AMEN!
I am done with her now--
just out to be mean-- all this "i just want to hear both sides."
"I thought I would come here and see if we could get some legislation.."(paraphrasing)
I I I I I I I I I I
You don't get legislation done by banter on Freep--
You FIRST get ahold of an attorney who is willing to write it up-- then you start looking for a sponsor-- THEN you start druming up support...
But you don't start by drumming up support in a place where people have names like eeevil conservative and olliecollie-- UNLESS-- They are already friendlies and people you have ALREADY been dealing with.
What a line of bull
I got you all worked up.
