Watch "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon. It will make more sinse. It was a joke!

Aye, and a funny one at that, laddie.
 

The Faultfinder award (for the ability to ride the slightest possibility of the appearance of possible sin in something all the way to a full-out condemnation.)

Or is this a duplicate award with a different name?

OMG! Next they'll be dancing!!!!!!!!!

Huh? I just said it would give hardcore watchmen fits and it was a load of crap, along with one needing less impressionability than normal to get the Wrong Idea (tm).

I'd use it at the expense of the lifestyle, because it's a pile.

Can I get a shout out from the congregation here?

Stuff like this gives the most zealous cultural crusaders*  among us enough material to last the year.

Exhibit A:

(not an insult, just a description of those with an incredible urge to sound off about such stuff. Sometimes I can be a CC. Jesus was such against genuine evil of all kinds.)

I'm not saying that this is teh evil ocult posesssed demonic doll or anything, cause that's just silly.

Rather, it is deeply rooted in the context of this kind of power, in a place where it is wrong (modern-day/primary-universe), being a Good Thing.

Added to that I never liked Barbie in the first place and you have one doll that just plain blows.


But then again, it wouldn't be too bad for those who'd want to lampoon such an unwise way of life.

Subject: New Pepsi Can

 Don't buy new Pepsi can.

 Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with
 pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of
 Allegiance on them. But, Pepsi left out two little

 words on the pledge, "Under God".  Pepsi said they did
 not want to offend anyone. If this is true then we do
 not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate
 office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they
 will not receive any of our monies. Our money after
 all does have the words "Under God" on it.


 Please pass this word to everyone you know--let your
 voices be heard. We want the words "Under God" to be
 read by every person who buys a can.

      I don't know if this is true, but I recived it from a good friend.

This rumor is pretty weak. I'm glad it's false.

Hello All,

Here's the latest information on TROLLS. I had no idea they had ranks, but the higher the number, the higher the rank.

Troll 1 - This is usually a "wannabe" troll or a beginner troll. However, they can be a troll "groupie", someone who just loves to hang around trolls.

Troll 2 - These trolls have been accepted as a hate and discontent bringer. They're not very good at it, but they're learning. This level is known for being put down rather easily, and they become the hunted instead of the hunter.

Troll 3 - These trolls have the basic skills and usually attack in groups. They usually cause hate, discontent, and disruption for short periods of time, lose interest, and move on for greater fun. This level hasn't learned that they will be caught and embarrassed if they stick around too long in one place.

There you have it. Troll 3 is the highest rank. There might be a level 4 if they could attract people of greater intelligence.

Lv. 4 Trolls attack in groups, juggle accounts, often use many email accounts for them, and go all over the place, knowing what Troll 3 doesn't know. THey attack on several prongs, and try sometimes to hack other peoples' accounts. Rare and deadly.

yeah said just what I was trying to say.

The SCA is an Historical Reenactment group. The biggest in the world, in fact. They have all kinds of things, Equestrian sports, quilting, clothing making, survival training, cooking, music and dance, smithing, and all kinds of things done in Med-evil and Renascence times, as done in those days. But their main event is the sword fighting. They have Fencing battles, with foils, fought Renascence style, and they also have Dark age battles, use rattan and armor to fight mid-evil styles. They have mass battles, tournaments, all kinds of fun stuff. I was thinking he may enjoy things of this nature, and he will get out more, if he has something more REAL to be a part of. If he wants to hack and slash, better he be outside, addicted to something that can keep him healthy, then just sitting in front of the computer casting imaginary spells on binary monsters. The SCA, unlike other popluar groups, don't always for "spell casting" in their fighting, or other aspects of the group.

VICTOLY!

Ride with it, Terri. It'll do your husband a world of good. UNLESS he starts making an obsession of THAT. Let's pray that he doesn't.

Hi all,

It's been awhile since I've been on the forum, but I am back and have some questions regarding this everquest computer game?

For those who don't know what Everquest is, it's a computer game you role play like D and D. Except you do it over the computer and you play online, so you role play with other people from around the world. What has me upset or concerned is there is alot of magic and spells in the game. The Bible is very clear on this subject.

My husband thinks I am being overboard about this but I am very concerned that by him entertaining himself this way, it allows an opening for the devil into our lives. (Mine and our kids too.)

I remember reading awhile back about someone here who had experience in witchcraft and spells and they became a Christian and turned there life over to Christ, but there friend or cousin was still into witchcraft and they tried to bring them to Christ too. The cousin was upset by that and put a spell on them and they saw the devils sign on there ceiling.

Anyway, the person who posted this said there was a great book to read to help free people from witchcraft and other dark side stuff. If someone recalls that story and can find it and tell me the name of the book that would be great. I tried looking for it and couldn't find it.

I've been praying for my husband, but he is still so wrapped up into this game. He will stay on this game till 3:00 in the morning. And then be late for work all because of this stupid game.

Any helpful advice or books on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
                                     Thanks Terri

Addiction is NEVER good, be it to EQ, drugs, cars, whatever. It draws close to idolatry. What I have to say is that you need to find something you guys can do together that would be better to him than this game. You can also cancel your internet subscription, since such action is very close to needed.

Even though it's not like your husband is actually accepting the lie of the occult and reveling in the art of casting spells, you must still take all practical steps in keeping him off something that clearly has become a god to him (see EQ becoming more important than work.)

In addition, one can (and many do) play EQ and not like witchcraft. Some (like me) hate witchcraft with a passion and still like D&D type games (EQ does blow, but because of the player base more than anything). The real issue is more idolatry than occult involvement, and still deserves INCREDIBLE caution to ensure that this obsession can be beaten. May God help you.

Finally, it's actions like this that give online role-play a bad name to many.

As for the anecdote of the devil sign, if he really is so impressionable that he will get into witchcraft and try to put spells on people based on EQ information, then *alas* it may be good to ask him to choose you or it. The example given would probably pass for unfaithfulness to you, so there's a good last-ditch plan. You probably tried this already, but God be with you as you help kick this kind of idolatry in the butt.

Answered prayers bringing people to christ deserve a super SHOUT OUT!

The fact that a lifeless church turned Gandhi off Christ is super sad.

It's better to be linked to Spiritual fruits then religious nuts.

You say what I'm thinking.

Truth. The Son of God is also Lord and Christ.

The very fact that so many religions are contrary to each other (Most of all Christianity and Islam), answers no to the title question.

BTW: asaph, in your first reply:

MUTHALOVINGAMEN!!!!1111hundredeleven!1

As long as it's commercially available, getting it free w/o the owners knowing about is is piracy, illegal, and (in most cases) immoral. There are a few exceptions for the last one (like being about 10 years old, not selling, and unprofitable.)

The date is a full year ago. Is this still happening now?
