postmann: But isn't it obvious?
If; . "Living life to the fullest means no regret. Whatever one does, no regrets." You make a decision and you don't look back!. Whatever it is, don't look back. "Different shades of women and numerous luxury without a clean clear conscience often pave way for falsehood and regret."
Living life to the fullest means no regret, whatever one does, no regrets, how else can one has an unclean conscience? One can have an unclean conscience when one start listening to voices telling him/her that the deeds done by them is wrong. Such a thing is very common with the christian faith of today.  |

Poems For Review › The Woman Of Substance. by joseph1832(op): 12:31am On Apr 13, 2016 |
In the bright of day she came to me With intentions full of lust and greed, Seeking to use her might; she got to me,
Pretending to be what I like so she can flee; Flee with my Benjamins to quench her need, In the bright of day she came to me.
A woman of substance she claimed to be, One full of zeal and so much creed, Seeking to use her might; she got to me.
A perverse lust she flared and I agree, To her charms I open my heart and she bleed... In the bright of day she came to me.
Her greed was as busy as a very busy bee, She bleed and bleed me dry... I shivered, Seeking to use her might; she got to me.
The woman of substance was a romp I agree, My Benjamins she took and flee, thus I cried... In the bright of day she came to me, Seeking to use her might, she got to me. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

The irony is, regret comes to most at the hour death, In the death bed, when one knows its time up. It has all been in vain. Tell that to the student that was killed in Uniport, tell that to those abandoned babies you see around lying dead. Regret comes to those who did not live the fruitness of life to the fullest. On the death bed, when its come to go, those who have enjoyed life will always smile and greet death with a chuckle. |

postmann: Okay then. By your submissions you just agreed that man's attempt at making moral laws for himself is a deviant and corruption of the original law that is without flaw. Which is religious law.
And by religious law, I mean Christian law. My submission is just merely saying whether it is moral law, religious law, traditional law, or even constitutional/administrative law, as long as it is subjected to the whims and caprices of man, it will be perverted! These laws are straight forward, man perverted it when he acquired the will and knowledge to do so. |
Family › Re: Your husband cheats. Now what? by joseph1832(m): 11:26am On Apr 12, 2016 |
postmann: But man's moral laws stemmed from religious laws most of the time. He only twists it now and again to suit his selfish purpose and create accommodation for his perversion. Yes of course. Man's moral law stem from tradition and religious sources. However this may be, whoever holds the power or dictates the will/affairs of the state gets to twist these laws. Remember, its a world where majority carry the vote. So, be it tradition, moral or even religious law, man will forever manipulate it just to suit his purpose. Whatever is given man, will be perverted by man. Its in our nature. |
Christianity Etc › Re: TB Joshua Prophesies About Attack On Nigeria & Ghana by joseph1832(m): 11:12am On Apr 12, 2016 |
Oluwabusobomi: – Popular Lagos prophet, TB Joshua has made a very frightening prophesy
– In his prophesy concerning Nigeria and Ghana, the prophet says an attack is imminent
-TB Joshua urged his members to pray fervently as to avert the impending mishap
A terrorist attack will kill people in Nigeria and Ghana this month, says the Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Nigeria, Prophet TB Joshua.
Pastor T. B. Joshua’s says an attack is imminent in Nigeria and Ghana The popular Lagos based prophet has asked members of his Church to pray against planned ‘foreign attacks’ on Nigeria and Ghana.
According Yen.com.gh, TB Joshua made the prophesy while speaking during his Church’s service, which was beamed live on Emmanuel TV on Sunday, April 10.
A 2:56s video culled from the live sermon on Sunday, shows the prophet urging thousands of his SCOAN congregants to begin sporadic prayers for the two countries in order to scuttle the ‘evil plans’ of the unnamed attackers.
The Prophet was even specific on days on which the attackers will strike, predicting the attacks will take place at gathering of people. “I am seeing Thursday, Friday, Saturday –if I may say Thursday – because these evil people they are very funny. Anything can just happen. You will be very shocked to see what will happen, because when the prayer is going in this direction they [attackers] change to [another] direction.
“I see Thursday, Friday. Pray for these two nations – Nigeria and Ghana – over gathering in any way; over attack. I am seeing attack and that will be in a foreign way. The attack will come not in a local way. So please open your lips and pray for these two nations for protection” he told congregants.
He would however not state whether the said Thursday or Friday or Saturday would be in this month or the next, explaining “not necessarily this week, because it is a battle between the evil spirit and the holy spirit.”
It would be recalled that T.B. Joshua recently claimed he prophesied the terror attack that took place in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday, March 22, some weeks back. Joshua reportedly gave a televised prophecy, telling his congregation to pray for a French country and that their security should sit tight, saying: “In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I have three messages to give you. One is for a French country, they are to tighten their security it is not yet over. These evil people are in the town” .
https://www.naij.com/795718-panic-prophet-tb-joshua-makes-frightening-prophesy-video.html?source=index_trending An attack is imminent? Good lord! Why can't this man give is specifics for once, like the day the attack will happen, the time and actual place. Many of the prophesy Jesus gave never bothered on abstracts, but concrete detail, not abstract!. |

postmann: Okay. I got the acronym. That's why man needs religion! Irrespective of false preachers and overzealous pastors, religion is the only answer to man's uncontrollable and capricious moral standard. Well I'm not a fan of religion, I believe man doesn't need it, or better still, man should separate religion from the affair of state. I subscribe to Karl Marx's famous quote: "Religion is the opiate of the masses". Man can not make moral laws for himself. What you get is him making it to suit his pervertions. Like the gay stuff. There'd be no end to it. These "intellects" will soon script some marvellous, persuasive words, telling us how man is free to love animals and marry them. Then you'd find human crossbreeding with horse and chimps. There's no stopping man in his pervertions. The heart of man is an endless pit of unimaginable evil! On the contrary, man has proven that he can indeed make laws for himself. He's proven that from the 12th century to this very day. The same thing you see in religion is the same thing you see with laws. Man perverting and twisting both just to suit himself and himself alone. The law is made by man, and man can twist not just the law, but God's law too (religious law). The activities of man in his bid to get what he wants, how he wants, and when he wants it, is itched in the sands of time. |

What's FWB? Yea if only bruv, but it aint like that. Its human nature to always want more, to always crave more, man's wants and needs is insatiable. A man will always lust after another woman, vis a vis. Its the reason why the world is the way it is. FWB means friend with benefit. Kinda like being in an open relationship with a girl/boy. |

 But on a serious note, for me, except a woman shows a healthy degree of jealousy and possession, I'll question her love and commitment.
True love has a good degree of jealousy and possessiveness. What the foot-loose, fancy-free people think is their own side of the story. Aiye. I concur. For me that's how I know I really like a girl. When I'm tiny winny jealous and a lil bit possessive. |
