Freiburger: I think one of the greatest life-changing invention that originated from mistake if not the greatest is the what Adam and Eve invented in the garden of Eden.

After God created Adam and Eve, HE told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. How were they supposed to that that without making love to one another??
"The Forbidden Fruit" is not "sex" but "The Tree of [size=18pt]The Knowledge of Good and Evil"[/size] as clearly stated in The Bible.

[size=18pt]Man was supposed to procreate. HE told them "Be fruitful and multiply" before HE ever said "Do not eat of this tree"[/size]

[size=20pt]Adam would have still made love to his wife if they had not eaten the fruit (because God had already said to them "be fruitful and multiply" after HE created them) but they wouldn't have had that "sense of unclothedness and shame" they were supposed to do all they had to do in innocence and holiness and not with a sense of "shame or guilt." These negative feelings, being plagued by condemnation, is the torture God wanted to keep them from.[/size]

Sal C: I think her feels insecure for suspecting her husband is being unfaithful, but presently making the issue of her baby a reason for divorce is beyond me:

I think divorce is taking it too far but I can't blame your friend. It's so disgusting to see a parent, mum or dad, give an infant a full blown kiss like they are kissing their spouse. It's so irritating to see. All I can see is the mum or dad's germ full mouth on an infant's whose immunity might be low. And why the full blown kiss?? Is a peck on the lips or cheeks of the child no longer enough??
BTW, I am talking from experience, I have seen it happen not once. I am not sure I can handle it, watching my spouse give our kid a full blown kiss..as in..mouth-to-mouth..lip-to-lip habitually. Nah!!!!

Subject of thread's so apt.

He has somehow managed to send an unwilling ASUU back to the classroom.

How could I have forgotten to add this: PHCN no longer exists. Yes! He did it! He did it!! He DID itttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fijiano202: .. but i have a question for u.Pls as a lady if a guy breaks that kinda news,would ladies get annoy?

From your main post, I get the feeling she is "just a friend." A girlfriend or a wife can handle that kind of a revelation from her man. But for someone who's just a friend, she's gon' be really upset and hurt. Confirmbabe gave a very solid suggestion on how to go about it (though something tells me she may not still get the message haha)
I know a few girls who are like that; who serve you steaming tasteless tomato they call stew lol

Not good at all. The mere thought of buying meat in the market place intimidates its craving out of me! I am so in love with price tags..

mysticgal: i thought i have become a moderator,like seriously

Oh! The "of" got me confused there then, lol. I am sure I wouldn't have been if I had read "..case in Sydney"

Handsome looking dudes. Pretty ladies. Lovely lovely wedding gowns. Happy Married life.

4reigningqueen: and so?

LAGOS, Nigeria — Entombed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in an upended tugboat for three days, Harrison Odjegba Okene begged God for a miracle.

The Nigerian cook survived by breathing an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. A video of Okene's rescue in May that was posted on the Internet more than six months later has gone viral this week.

As the temperature dropped to freezing, Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited the last psalm his wife had sent by text message, sometimes called the Prayer for Deliverance: "Oh God, by your name, save me. ... The Lord sustains my life."

To this day, Okene believes his rescue after 72 hours underwater at a depth of 30 meters (about 100 feet) is a sign of divine deliverance. The other 11 seaman aboard the Jascon 4 died.

Divers sent to the scene were looking only for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving, who were called to the scene because they were working on a neighboring oil field 120 kilometers (75 miles) away.

The divers had already pulled up four bodies.

So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse.

"The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!" Walker said in a telephone interview Tuesday.



"It was frightening for everybody," he said. "For the guy that was trapped because he didn't know what was happening. It was a shock for the diver while he was down there looking for bodies, and we (in the control room) shot back when the hand grabbed him on the screen."

On the video, there's an exclamation of fear and shock from Okene's rescuer, and then joy as the realization sets in. Okene recalls hearing: "There's a survivor! He's alive."

Walker said Okene couldn't have lasted much longer. "He was incredibly lucky he was in an air pocket but he would have had a limited time (before) ... he wouldn't be able to breath anymore."

The full video of the rescue captured by divers was released by DCN Diving after a request from The Associated Press. Initially, a shorter version of the rescue emerged on the Internet. The authenticity of the video was confirmed through conversations with DCN employees in the Netherlands. The video showing Okene was also consistent with additional photos of him on the rescue ship. The AP also contacted Okene on Tuesday; he confirmed the events.

Okene's ordeal began around 4:30 a.m. on May 26. An early riser, he was in the toilet when the tug, one of three towing an oil tanker in Nigeria's oil-rich Delta waters, gave a sudden lurch and then keeled over.

"I was dazed and everywhere was dark as I was thrown from one end of the small cubicle to another," Okene said in an exclusive interview after his rescue with Nigeria's Nation newspaper.

He groped his way out of the toilet and tried to find a vent, propping doors open as he moved on. He discovered some tools and a life vest with two flashlights, which he stuffed into his shorts.

When he found a cabin of the sunken vessel that felt safe, he began the long wait, getting colder and colder as he played back a mental tape of his life — remembering his mother, friends, mostly the woman he'd married five years before with whom he hadn't yet fathered a child.

He worried about his colleagues — 10 Nigerians and the Ukrainian captain including four young cadets from Nigeria's Maritime Academy. They would have locked themselves into their cabins, standard procedure in an area stalked by pirates.

He got really worried when he heard the sound of fish, shark or barracudas he supposed, eating and fighting over something big.

As the waters rose, he made a rack on top of a platform and piled two mattresses on top.

According to his interview with the Nation: "I started calling on the name of God. ... I started reminiscing on the verses I read before I slept. I read the Bible from Psalm 54 to 92. My wife had sent me the verses to read that night when she called me before I went to bed."

He survived off just one bottle of Coke, all he had to sustain him during the trauma.

Okene really thought he was going to die, he told the Nation, when he heard the sound of a boat engine and anchor dropping, but failed to get the attention of rescuers. He figured, given the size of the boat, that it would take a miracle for a diver to locate him. So he waded across the cabin, stripped the wall down to its steel body, then knocked on it with a hammer.

But "I heard them moving away. They were far away from where I was."

By the time he was saved, relatives already had been told the sailors were dead.

Okene kept faith with the psalm he recited, that promises to "give thanks in your name, Lord," at a service at his Redeemed Christian Church of God.

He was rescued by a diver who first used hot water to warm him up, then attached him to an oxygen mask. Once free of the sunken boat, he was put into a decompression chamber and then safely returned to the surface.

arcbabe: I plan on going by 4pm since my house is close to TBS

KK..'Will sign my arrival on this thread

logica: Good luck (Jonathan).

Lol

nayef: In fact, this is the case of Sydney;most Naija ladies have been passed around.

Who is Sydney?

arcbabe: am planning on going early so I will get a space and also sit in front,my past experience of going late and standing wasn't fun.

Standing how did you cope..?
The fear of standing or sitting behind or not been allowed into the main bowl makes me go there early all the time. But then, that means you will have to wait and wait for the program to start. Imagine arriving at 2pm for a 7pm program! It's not so fun.

No, he wouldn't.

Oh yessssss I will.

I lurrrved the feeling I got when I woke up today.
It was the first day of the week,
First day of a new month,
The air was fresh and clean and cool.
I was just smiling to myself, grateful that it's Decemberrrr!!

PapaBrowne: [size=40pt]Please help me ask Saudi Arabia and Qatar why they dont allow churches or temples. If they give me an answer, I will condemn Angola.[/size] But as it stands, Angola is just doing today what almost all the GCC nations have practiced for ever. Churches and temples are not allowed in Saudi Arabia, a country that is the center of Islam. It has about half the working population as foreigners yet they have no places to worship.
All other nations have tolerance for other religions. Rome even has a massive mosque capable of sitting 12,000 people. Its only islamic nations that don't allow other religions practice freely. [size=40pt]Angola is taking a que from the likes of Saudi, so no biggie![/size]

Hm! 'Makes sense

You need Bcomplex.
That was what cured that "tired" feeling for me
*Brace up your self for increased apetite*

The day I lost faith in Taafoo was when I bought a #4000 studded jacket from them.
You won't believe the amount of studs that fell off at the first wash. And, they keep falling off after each wash!
I rarely wear it these days just to preserve the studs.

truthhurt: You are very correct I have my fact about taafoo. They sell the best of fake products

'Feel so sad for my jacket
