Okay, Doug. Poor taste. Phrase it however you want. The administrator removed it AFTER I said something. I couldn't have commented on it after it was removed now could I?

You shouldn't say everything that comes into your head. You should think, prayerfully consider, and then speak. That is the Christian way. And no it is not Satanic to be restrained. It is Satanic to know no restraint. Unlimited freedom is what Satan promised Eve in Eden and it led to death, not eternal life. "Ye shall not surely die".

What are you talking about?

Accusations were made which can not be proven since they were deleted. I need to live in a free environment not one of supression and no discussion.

It doesnt matter now because I have left this forum. Good bye.

Thanks Thomas: I think I stopped reading that comment of the Greek's when he mentioned trusting science. I was reading too fast.

It just proves an old theory of mine:
There is nothing more careful as a thinking Swede in the middle of winter!

Will stated:

"While the devil is casting pandemonium and trying to control people with fear, and destroying lives, we see God working miracles and shedding His Light in their paths to lead them to Jesus Christ."

Amen! A great example of how God works!

Oops! Lost another one to die-tech (i.e., using deadly posting techniques that tend to kill participation). See ya later, Doug, I'll miss your colorful icons.

Hey, how about those Yankees? They increased their aid to $350 million dollars! Now that's more like it. Which doesn't include the millions more given by private US donors. Yes, yes, yes, I am also very thankful for what others nations and individuals have given. Thank you Jesus.

Hey Doug, speaking of freedom and the right to it, yer free to run nekked across the city park too, if it's yer nature to do whatever comes to mind...then suffer the consequences. All squirrels cover yer eyes, and the Littles too, before the white coats get 'im.

Why dontcha shape up instead of shippin' out? You never did tell me how to get your own smilies and pix on the post...i enjoy them too!

Doug, I'm so much like you it scares me. God, and Holy Spirit, help us both.

One of my parishoners lost two first cousins--one in Sri Lanka and the other in the Maldives. His elderly aunt lost her home.

This Sabbath he shared with our congregation that 150 Adventists are missing in the Sri Lanka area.

One church was meeting with over 100 members inside. The Tsunami wave came during the worship service and wiped them all out to sea.

Several Anglican churches in the area also had young people's programs going on when they were swamped with the sea waters.

I haven't seen these reports on Adventist news sources but they have been presented on CBC Windsor, CFCO/CKSY radio and the Chatham Daily News.

Here is a link to our local newspaper report:

Pastor Andrew: Thank you for that sad report pertaining to affected Seventh-day Adventists. I was wondering whether there was any information pertinent to how it affected members of the SDA Church.

Doug: I copied this topic before editing your post that contained words that were in bad taste pertaining to this sad topic. Have you really forgotten what you posted? I will email the unedited version of that post to you and to anybody else that requests it.
