Maybe if I was more frivolous I could keep up better.

Man, I miss so much on these forums. It's really hard to keep up . . .

I've said this before, but there's no reason not to say it again . . .

Welcome back!!

Welcome!!!

Lowest salaries in baseball and their play proves it.  

Certainly they're not worse than the Pirates!

[Job 2:10]

Job 2:10

I've always liked this verse, but it seems like people don't mention it as much as they mention 1:21. This verse sort of portrays typical human selfishness. We expect good from God, yet won't accept it when God gives us bad, too. It's a good lesson on pride, too.

Allow me to butt in.

I find it ridiculous that some people are so gung-ho about the KJV. I can give a few reasons. For instance, some of the original 1611 King James Bibles referred to Esther as "he", and referred to Jesus as Judas in one verse. Also, the original 1611 King James contained the Apocrypha. Hardly inspired, if you ask me.

And yet, some people actually believe that the King James Bible is more reliable than the original documents. And some people say such things as "If it's not King James, it's not the Bible." Give me a break! Pardon me, but what did the Christians prior to 1611 do without the Bible??

There's a local church around here that won't let you use an NIV or anything else. They really think the KJV is the only Bible. It's like a whole religion inside Christianity. And of course, it only serves to alienate people. I know somebody who has been rebelling from Christianity, even though he was raised in a Christian home. The church I mentioned had a big part in this because he hated the fact that they were so judgemental and contentious when it came to Bible translations.

The whole thing really makes me sick.

Sweet!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Some enthusiasm here would be a good thing.

We are the CHAMPIONS LOSERS!!!

Of course - it always helps when the bear has a target on its chest...    

RUN, TEDDY!!!

Welcome back! I was on a sort of hiatus during January so I guess I missed you.

How about bear hunting with bow and arrow....now thats sport  

People do that. A well placed arrow is just as dangerous as a bullet. The hard part is hitting the right place with your arrow. It's a whole lot easier to just line up the crosshairs and pull the trigger.

A little something like this . . .

You'd better watch your back, people!

Welcome back!!!

I don't think it's very sporting. Although it's not a bad idea. I've seen lots of cats that I could very easily pick off with my .22. Not nearly as hard as deer hunting.
