Tulefel: Few times I’ve made attempts to read this thread, but I’ve “lost it a bit”.

But! There’s adequate answer! Good people, tra-da-da-taaaaaaaaaaa… Enjoy:

Best Stories From Africa
1. The Cape Times ( Cape Town )
"I have promised to keep his identity confidential,' said Jackie Maxim, a spokeswoman for the Sandton Sun Hotel, Johannesburg , "but I can confirm that he is no longer in our employment. We asked him to clean the lifts and he spent four days on the job. When I asked him why, he replied: 'Well, there are forty of them, two on each floor and sometimes some of them aren't there'. Eventually, we realized that he thought each floor had a different lift, and he'd cleaned the same two twelve times. "We had to let him go. It seemed best all round. I understand he is now working for Eskom (Power company)."

2. The Star ( Johannesburg )
"The situation is absolutely under control," Transport Minister Ephraem Magagula told the Swaziland Parliament in Mbabane . "Our nation's merchant navy is perfectly safe. We just don't know where it is, that's all." Replying to an MP's question, Minister Magagula admitted that the landlocked country had completely lost track of its only ship, the Swazimar: "We believe it is in a sea somewhere. At one time, we sent a team of men to look for it, but there was a problem with drink and they failed to find it, and so, technically, yes, we've lost it a bit. But I categorically reject all suggestions of incompetence on the part of this government. The Swazimar is a big ship painted in the sort of nice bright colours you can see at night. Mark my words, it will turn up. The right honourable gentleman opposite is a very naughty man, and he will laugh on the other side of his face when my ship comes in."
rolling on the floor laughing Tule, whatever this has to do with this thread I have no idea ... But I had such a good laugh. Thanks. This is just SO real of what happens in that country down south!grin

RayfromUSA: Only to the Jews.
The Samaritans were just as "Israelite" as the Jews.
................. Jewish racial elitism.

........... they were really the same ethnicity. Jews considered Samaritans to be "impure". By the time of Christ, calling someone a "Samaritan" was a big insult.
................... a devil-possessed Samaritan......

So yes the Jews despised the Samaritans.

The Samaritans (Israelites) were, like the Jews, descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, But the Jews despised them.

Once, when leaving Judea to avoid persecution, Jesus talked with a Samaritan woman.

.........Jacob’s well was there....a Samaritan woman came to draw water. ................(For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

“Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that Jerusalem is where men should worship.” Jesus answered,...the time is coming when people will worship God neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem....But in spirit and truth; for that's the sort of worshipers the Father wants...

......... I speak to them in parables,
When you hear what I say, you will not understand.
When you see what I do, you will not comprehend.
For the hearts of this people are hardened,
and they have closed their eyes — so they cannot see,
and their ears — so they cannot hear,
and their hearts — so they cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me, nor allow me to heal them.


Ja, that is what I was saying ...... READ and understand the parables, and then there are no more mysteries about the Walk of Life. The ball is in each persons own court, to play or not to play.

Tulefel: Not impossible. And by the look of it, he blended comfortably into American society.
But in general terms, sometimes I think that those 20 escaped patients materialize in any country of your choice as its government.

Well, I dont know if anyone can be "half" muslim ... so maybe he is a full muslim .... or a half "christian" ...? or a Mistian, or a Chuslim?

Have found those “pearls” on a Russian forum first, enjoyed the irony for a while, then decided to share.

You can find the very same, if not worse, looking eastern-wards. (Or perhaps, just looking around…)

Thanks, but that sort of stuff is daily in the SA news anyway.

The lates I heard tonight from my sister who lives there .... is that they having a problem in the hospitals lately. They keep finding dead bodies in odd places, like down laundry chutes, tucked away behind bins in odd corners, etc etc, and tis only when the smell hits them that they realise there`s another dead body hiding.

As sad as it is, but I’ve noticed that there’s always some kind of rationale behind any, or almost any, behavior that may seem bizarre to an outsider. One has to “dig” deeper, or look wider, or get involved to understand the motives and procedures. In short, one has to be an insider.

And the strongest rationale is one’s believes, however irrational it would be for a non-believer. (I’m returning to the subject of the thread.laugh )

ARE YOU A SOLDIER OF GOOD ??


No!.. as long as an objective good is not defined. So far, what is good for one is wrong for another.
Smoky has noticed a very important thing - the powerlessness of Jesus (despite working wonders to help people)..and that is the clue in my opinion. Shields are powerless too, but when we hit them we can hurt ourselves. So I find to be more important what we protect than what we want to get (imo)sad flower

Very interesting what you say.

In the 1970`s Hal Lindsay wrote a book called "The Late Great Planet Earth" ...... interpreting the last book of the Bible, and it all is happening now.

At that time he also wrote that America was no longer a "super power" (America was not even mentioned in the prophesies)....... and how the East will move into the West (China is on the move already, financially) ..... and the Israelis are looking to fulfill their destinies with the Palestinians? ... with the wealthy Arab states looking on....?

The big "superpower" of the EU .......? aaaaaaaaaaahhhh oh yes ..... and then comes the "One world religion" - I wonder who that could be?

And while all that is going on, in the meantime, we are polluting 3 1/3 of our water supply (chemicals?), 1/3 of the oceans(oil and sulphates?), 1/3 of our food grains (GM?) ........ and 1/3 of the populations will be breaking out in "unhealable sores" (cancer/Aids?)

But never fear! To our rescue will come the Anti-Christ (perfect huh? a Godlike benevolent ruler) followed by his False Prophet(who makes miracles and calls it religion). And everyone will worship this Godlike fellow the Anti-Christ! And have his "mark" in your hand or forehead (a chip?) to enable one to trade/buy/sell. Failure to receive this mark will result in having your head chopped off.

And they will reign for 1,000 years.

The lucky ones will have died in the meantime, and chosen to go live on another planet in another galaxy.

Amen.drinking

Religion is one of a very few things that distinguishes man from animal. Only man believes in, that a higher and better creature he’s made up and granted unlimited powers, will help him in reaching his dirty goals.

I don't know why you think I'm confused, I just do not agree that one has to be afraid of God to do good, or for that matter believe that he/she exists...

As for ther being more than one God, you could be right, I don't know, though there are many religions who's Gods appear to be similar.. but not in every case... (also, it helps if you quote text back to us when replying.. wink )... cool
