For all you cat lovers perhaps you would appreciate the Catholic cat choir on YouTube, very funny an amusing, I think. Google it.

Well, seems like we are getting some doctrinal differences in beliefs here, as per usual.
Is it any wonder there are so many different Christian denominations? Critical as usual. Have you on ignore most of the time. You need to practice what you preach and take a good look at the way you speak to people.. If you're this upset about that statement, god forbid someone should tell you something that's not so obvious. Sheeesh!!

Just a few doors from where I am there's a veterinary clinic. I pop in each morning to see if they have any kittens. If they do, I pop in a few times during the day just to look at them. So adorable. You adopt one and they get so arrogant!!!! My cat's name is "Puss", short haired black male. Thinks he owns the place!! People who hurt cats (and dogs too, for that matter) are not normal. My cat and I are inseparable.

I am sorely tempted. They keep these kittens in a glass cage. You let them out and they scurry, slip and slide their way around the clinic's tiled floor. There's a 7 week old ginger tom kitten there that's different As soon as he's out he doesn't want to explore - just be with you. I want him, but I can't have him. One guy said "If I behave myself I am allowed one kitten every twenty years." I know how he feels!

Ive been coming here on and off for 10yrs. Im surprised you cant see the nastiness in many posts towards christians /believers. Every sentence gets discected. In australia we've had people commit suicide for internet bullying. My question is do people speak and treat people like this in real life ? Im sure if they did they wouldnt have many friends. Belittling someone imo is derogatory. A put down. Demanding personal information goes against the grain. Especially when the person has said they cant or dont want to reveal more. Yes I am sensitive. Im not the only one. When people are open about their life experience and honest. They dont need the 20 questions. They also dont need to be humilated, judged, belittled, embarrassed.

True, but With all due respect to everyone here, I think that one of the reasons there is so much suffering and injustice in the world is that people seem to shrug their shoulders, look the other way and say to themselves "it is none of my business." The good Samaraton did not look the other way, he made it his business.

Some people will rip and tear your personal posts to pieces and making fun of. So, I don't want to share too much of my personal/intimate relationship with God.I agree, and I support your decision to keep certain private matters private especially on an open internet web site. Sounds like good sense to me.

It was because Nathan brought up subject in a answer to my post. Everyone has somethings the they don't ever want to share with anyone.

I have observed that some posters have become very contentious, insulting and downright nasty in some cases recently; I question myself as to whether or not it is really benificial for me to continue here, it has become more of an ordeal. It very often causes me vexation of spirit. I have also noticed the absence or infrequency of some posters who had much to offer in the past, more in the areas of enlightenment and encouragement as opposed to antaganism and harassment and the scoring of points.

The issue with "gay marriage" is itself sexist. If it's fine to have two men or two women marry then why shouldn't we allow ALL marital variations? Adult to Pubescent child marriage (pederast) Child to child marriage Temporary marriage (one nighter, weekender etc..) Bestial marriage (you do love your dog, right?) Polygamy Polyamory (non exclusive) etc

Next thing you know, we'll have people marrying their animals, husbands and wives in the lower and upper schools classrooms concentrating on anything other than school work. etc. etc. When I was a young lad, occasionally I would hear older folks speaking about the "hog and goat race" but never really Understood what it meant.

Adult to Pubescent child marriage (pederast) Child to child marriage Temporary marriage (one nighter, weekender etc..) Bestial marriage (you do love your dog, right?) Polygamy Polyamory (non exclusive) etc Bert, anyone can easily find out the answers to these questions .... if there happens to be anyone who doesn't know them already. If you don't know why child marriage should not be legalised or why bestial marriage should not be legalised then I suggest you need to spend some time thinking about these things before posting such nonsense. No one seriously suggested when homosexual acts between two men were decriminalised some years ago that such a move raised questions about decriminalising sexual acts between children or animals. The question that really needs to be asked is why two consenting adults who love each other should be prevented from lawfully marrying solely by reason of their gender? By the way, on a personal level why does the idea of two adults who love each other, and who you don't know and have never met, having a ceremony at a time and a place you're not aware of and which has no impact on your life whatsoever bother you so much? Why does two people who are committed to each other having a nice day out with their family and friends and coming home with the exactly same legal document demonstrating their commitment to each other that you and your wife brought home after having a nice day out with your family and friends concern you at all?

I know what that's like. I had to let my big orange friend go a couple of years ago and it was so hard. Still miss him. 18 years is a long time to live with them. I now have a new little guy that I got at the Humane society. He is about 2 years old. Totally black and quite a character. He walks on a leash because he doesn't want to get left behind when we walk the dog. He absolutely loves the dog. He reminds me of a miniature black panther. Sweety was traveling the neighbor hood seeking friends where ever she could. We knew who she belonged to, but the woman couldn't take care of her.
My husband was still alive when I/we took her in. My husband use to sound a bit like a certain non-cat lover that we have here! No names, mentioned! It was all bluff.
Sweety wanted to come to bed and lay by my side. My husband would say, "Cats stay at the bottom of the bed!" But she would start creeping up between us, keeping an eye on him all the while to see if his eyes were open!
We both had to laugh when she once made it & lay on top of my head with her tail dragging down over my forehead & switching her tail back & forth like a windshield wiper across my face! Oh they know, that's for sure. Mine was brought to me when he was very young. Almost too young to be away from the mother so he adopted me as mom. He would not take kindly to being away from me and the kids would love to hold him to try and keep him from getting to me. He would gently struggle until they let him go so he could come and curl up on my lap. Never have I had such a loving loyal companion. He was a combination of Maine coon and siamese. Interesting combination and long orange hair.

I have one too at the moment and there are times.... He is the most demanding cat I have ever owned actually. But also very smart.

The issue with "gay marriage" is itself sexist. It's only sexist if the laws for the two sexes are different. The operative word here is "consent", Bert. There are laws about consent. Again, consent. The problem is marital property, etc. But if you insist, you can use the present laws to handle that -- if it's worth that much. You can't make matrimonial and inheritance laws that apply to animals. It's allowed where I live -- within the laws of consent. Where do they punish consensual polygamy? A non exclusive variety is legal where I live, but they can't call it marriage because it's not exclusive. I expect if it were exclusive polyamory there wouldn't be a problem. You forgot polygany.

Jesus died on the Cross so that we might be forgiven of our sins. He did not die to sin in his flesh so he could be an example for us to follow. He died to redeem us from sin. He did not sin. He did not die to be an example for us to follow. We are saved by His death on the Cross not of our own works lest any man should boast. What kind of church do you go to? Do you go to the church that this message board is about? or do you go to their conventions? Mary I have to disagree with you, my heart tells me differently. It tells us in the bible Jesus came as an example for its to follow. 1 Peter 2:21 Wicked hands murdered Jesus, this has nothing to do with God! God is love! God doesn't lie! Thou shalt not kill means exactly what it says. This included killing his son. Jesus told the parable of the workers in the vineyard in this parable he was referring to himself. Matthew 21:33-46 I know he never sinned, he never let Satan in. He put him to death! We are sinners and it's not by our own righteousness at all. But by letting Jesus into our hearts, he can help us overcome. No I'm not of the church you speak of, I don't know what a convention is.
Maryhig, you will have to excuse some of my posts to you since I assumed you knew about the same religion that most of us here call the 2x2's, -since the board is called TMB, (Truth Meeting Board)
You are welcome to be here of course.
Do you know anything of the religion of the 2x2's or as we called it my day The Truth, or The Way?

Do you know anything of the religion of the 2x2's or as we called it my day The Truth, or The Way?Hiya! No I'm not a 2x2 I found this site when I was searching about the way we believe, we have house meetings and don't believe in any religion and we heard the way we believe from people in Ireland which I think are what I have found out now to be the 2x2s. I have been reading articles written about William Irvine and Edward Cooney and from what I've seen they were trying to go back to basics and follow Jesus. Which I feel it's a good thing as many religions seem far away from Jesus teachings.. (I mean organised religion not the people) But i always refer back to the Bible and the way Jesus lived and taught I believe a man can bring God to you and show you how to live, but a man other than Jesus can't save you and can't forgive sins. Only God can do that. I also don't believe that there is only one religion that can bring you to God and that God looks at the heart. But the way to God is following the life of Jesus and believing in him. I don't really know what the 2x2s beliefs are today, but from what I've read it's a bit different to my own. But saying that, if they believe in following Jesus' life then it will be similar to what I believe! I would like to know the 2x2s core beliefs to see if they are like my own. I hope I will find out as I go along! :-)

I wonder what their names are.
I know names of so many people who go back to a that time in Ireland & Scotland.
I actually found in Edinburgh's Grey Friars church yard many of the names I knew so well!
All on one stone!
I just stood there dumbfounded when it finally registered what I was looking at!
Have you looked at the Telling the Truth web site? or read The Secret Sect by Doug & Helen Parker?

I've had a quick look at the telling the truth website, but i don't think I would read a book that called people a sect. As I know we are not a sect and we believe in a similar way, I'm more interested in their beliefs. To see how alike we are :-)
