"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
IMHO, the level of chastisment was way too strong. I don't know what's going on around here, but I don't like it one bit. Ruth was right, we are eating ourselves. Look how many regular contributors to the TM have been driven off the thread lately. I don't know if it is stress or whether we have some agent provacateurs around here. I suspect it could be both.
An "In Search of America Ride" is a COOL idea!
I ride a YAM Roadstar. Also have a YAM Vstar Classic for short jaunts to work.
I'll be taking my 2nd roadtrip to Big Bend Nat Park 2nd week of June.
AMEN TO THAT!
[leaving 4 better accomodations before that point in the end times].
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
What a wondefully Christian perspective.
May it be so.
I'm not as sure as I'd prefer to be that it's the next scheduled main event in history. But I'd sure like it to be!
Part of me expects to see the Temple rebuilt, first. But what do I know. I don't think God intends for that point to be that accurately figured out at this time. I could certainly be wrong.
MUCH AGREE.
It's a shame SP2BF isn't going to post the date, even if it is only a theory. Can anyone else take a look at al battar to see if they can draw the same conclusions? I'm not sure if there are any other arabic speakers here?
Yep, that's the rub. We don't have anyone else that speaks Arabic. I believe that someone else did post the date. Look back a little earlier on the current thread.
Was it the post about Detroit? I thought that was a joke?!
Watching Disney in recent years . . .
one begins to think that tyranny under Mickey Mouse would be among the worst.
--Special licenses to be heterosexual
--Special licenses to see clean, decent, family supportive movies in small out of the way underground, quasi-forbidden 'art movie' theaters.
--Bible reading tolerated only in some prisons and strictly underground.
--Home schooling tolerated only when the state is unaware one has children.
--Children seen only on special weekends and holidays at their 'children's villages' . . . i.e. indoctrination/boot camp conclaves where global tyranny is idolized.
--. . .
--. . .
Sigh. I wish this were only a nightmare/fantasy hypothesis/bunch of notions.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of at least. Maybe it is a joke, I don't know. Like I said, there is a lot going on behind that scenes that I am not a party to.
"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS....the date is june 23 and the place is Michigan, Detroit" (post #287).
Where is this quote pulled from? Was this the date SP2BF was talking about or something else?
Indie,
I love you dearly.
But you have lived long enough to know that at one point in time, it may seem right, fitting, wise, good, productive and healthy . . . for whatever goals in whatever context . . .
to say or do XYZ.
And sometimes the next 5 minutes, 5 hours, 24 hours, week,
It can suddenly appear 180 degrees the opposite for very reasonable reasons.
And that's under the best of circumstances with the best of intentions and all the information available.
LIFE IS JUST *THAT* COMPLEX.
PEOPLE ARE JUST *THAT* COMPLEX.
Assuming, imputing, assigning motives without sufficient 'inside the skin' understanding is HAZARDOUS at best and generally rather arrogant and foolhardy--especially with insufficient data.
I prefer to trust folks who generally appear to make every effort to be constructive, helpful, contributive, reasonable, fair-minded etc . . . I PREFER TO GIVE SUCH FOLKS HEREON WAY MORE THAN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
And, even when some untoward, ornery, bad faith bunch of facts have been repeatedly rubbed in my face, I'd still prefer to bend over backwards and do a long series of back flips rather than hazard the generaly very significant and amazing amount of unity in a common purpose and spirit so persistently in evidence on this thread.
Some things are an incredibly greater priority. And that unity of purpose and spirit is one of them.
There's no need to deny reality etc. But one can exhort in a spirit of tentative understanding and brotherly love through freepmail. If that still is not sufficiently satisfying, then bring in an old timer who's likely to be a wise third perspective and good at bridging differences--still in FREEPMAIL.
I can't think of many good reasons to disrupt the public tone and spirit of the thread for selfish, brittle, lopsided, limited, and/or personal perspectives which are likely to be greatly flawed [due to never having ALL the information from ALL sides and perspectives] at best, anyway.
imho.
I'm not privy to any behind the scenes stuff and don't know that there is anything to be privy to. :) I just know I miss everyone and am hoping it's because people are partying. :)
It's good to see you.
I'm going to do some news searches. :)
And many think that the camps with the guillotines etc. in storage are for
the termination of
authentic Christians and a long list of other 'unretrainables and undesirables.'
Doesn't guarantee who's on the other side of the counter will like the view!
YOU HAVE FREEPMAIL unless you already got it.
Still Proud don't you or anyone else leave.
Like I said IF you read the entire thread, there is a huge double standard going on here, and one which is revealing itself AGAIN in your post.
How about if I, sissyjane and grizz leave? Will our mockers be ostracized as we were for running us off? I don't think so.
You guys have fun in the little cliques here. It is getting old and I've had enough dealing with 12 yr olds. You had to bring it up AGAIN after all was said and done....
Enjoy. You've got it to youselves without my heinous intervention in an argument that was not of my beginning. I merely tried to defend where defense was due.
Some things just are not worth the aggravation.
Bye now.
