I have received blessings and i shared my blessings in the shape of gifts.
Since i can't give you all here even a coffee i would like to ask God to bless you all until eternity.

Amen.
Thank you Eli, and blessings to you also!

I looked for this thread to post this video to you, which is reminiscent of some of Rick Mercer's work:


 
I've been playing some Dean Martin old Christmas songs which i haven't heard since around or before Covid.
Nice to hear these songs on the radio again which make me more grateful.

Exodus 20:11 ESV
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
 
Okay before I say what I'm about to say, I should mention that y'all KNOW I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist. Right? This is Lynx here. I MAKE FUN of conspiracy theories and theorists as a general rule.

(Now you know what I'm about to say is gonna sound doggone close to a conspiracy theory.) :p

This is going to give them a legitimate reason to require ID before you get a social media account. Then they can track everything everybody says with no way around it.

And who will be able to argue against it? We're doing to protect the children here. (sappy music plays in the background...)
 
If I established a recovery program for stone throwers, I wonder if everyone might eventually become a member? :unsure:

IKR!
 
Just curious, why do some hide their complete profile?
I can understand their name and address for obvious reasons.
But when it comes to age, whether or not they are married, when they were saved, why.
What are they hiding?

this, for sure, if everyone in the world was a born again Christian, no one would be hiding.

At least some women probably do it to try to have as much anonymity as possible - for all of the obvious reasons.

I am doing it for a totally not-your-average-normal reason. There was a period of time a little while back when I noticed what seemed to be a sudden surge in new members doing that (over a relatively short period of time). At some point, I "got an attitude about it" and decided:

"Well - if everyone else is going to do that - I think I will just do it too."

I would really like to know if anyone else is actually doing this for this same plain-and-simple reason.

The intent of my action is actually a form of "silent protest" against what I consider to be a "somewhat" abuse of the system. (in a way)

My hope is that the trend will cause the site owner to ponder the significance of it.

Yes - there needs to be a certain amount of 'protection' built into the site for every individual; however, it needs to be balanced "in fairness" to others - it is also important for folks to have some idea about the gender and age of those who they are talking to...

If I owned this site (or a similar site), there would be two fixed mandatory items of information no user could hide - gender and age. (And, there would most definitely be blue and pink names.)

Of course - ideally - only logged-in members of the site should see either one - and, the outside world should never see either one.

In my opinion - as a consideration for an "ideal" situation in an environment such as this - every member of the site should know those two items of information about every other member of the site - so that you have some idea about who you are addressing when having a conversation with them.

Falsifying information during sign-up to the site is a separate issue; nonetheless, those two items of information being "in the open" is still the best overall way to have clear and open - and proper - communication among members.

FYI - you can still access some things associated with the member - such as their post history - from the pop-up that appears in various places when you hover over them.
 
i say its quite unusual that Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus, is a catholic. 1 would think that after all these years he would have converted to a born again Christian. it doesn't seem he's learning anything about Jesus being the only way to heaven & that all things have been given to Jesus. example: Ephesians 1:22 & 23. by course, there are other verses. to throw in a few more: John 14:6, 1st Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 9:15 & Colossians 3:17. i would love to hear comments on this. thank you all.
 
You know what really grinds my gears?
These gym commercials that always happen for New Year.
"Start your New Year's resolution with a gym membership".
It's the same thing every year over and over and i'm guessing the gyms make a lot of money during this time of year and the gyms are very busy .... for a week or two ... and then it's the regulars again.

They probably do it out of fear. What is being hidden is themselves. I don't really see a problem listing age, sex, and marital status. Perhaps they really don't want to be noticed. It used to be that the sex of the member was listed on each post submitted. Pink for ladies, blue for guys. Easy system, avoids confusion on how to respond.
 
if I kill a bug in my apartment is that ousting a trespasser or is that removing pestilence?😏
