Looks weird having it on.

Don't think I've seen any guy wearing a suit with the label. Maybe that's the style.

O.M.G!!

Naija you are embarrassing us. What's all this?

How is that offensive?

Even that Kerewa song was banned.


What a waste of court time and money. So this is the kind of cases they pay the judges to rule on.

SMH!

All that preparation?



I think I would only think of what to wear.

O.M.G!
Did that really happen?

Lawd!!
Someone like me would have laughed at her and embarrassed her.

Must she eat popcorn?
Going cinema with no money.


Chicks get mind sha.

Nowhere to get them around here.

I agree!


Probably why they made up the crap about him not qualifying, as he had dual nationality.
Hope they will not succeed in disqualifying him.

He's already rich so I doubt he's going into it to rip the people off.
Hope he succeeds.

Wish I could have akara, akamu and bread every day

This is what I don't get.

With their skills and weapons why don't they target their fellow criminals instead of innocent people.

Dunno why NL allows hate threads like this to exist.


OP, get a life.

slap1:
Don't say that. You don't how it was with her. Have you ever been childless?

The woman was silly, end of.
Even a child knows better than to go without food and water for that long.

She could have adopted. She would have been alive by now.

Yes, I have. But in a good way.

Some of you's parents are just something else.

Fried eggs, fried bread, baked beans, sausages and hot chocolate.

Dude is one big joke.

Sad news.
Very silly woman.

We don't make a big deal out of it. It might seem that way because we are the only ones who regard her to that extent, so it might stand out more than it would have, say if another set of people felt this way about her.

And like I said, she is hardly ever mentioned, except during Hail Mary, which is always said during mass.
Or while saying the rosary-which is not done during mass.

You can ask the apostles to intercede on your behalf too, no one is against that. I just group them as angels/saints.
We pray with them, not to them. Since saints led holy lives and are close to God in heaven, we feel that their prayers are particularly effective.

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and pleasing to God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:1–4)

Intercession is mentioned here.



Natasha, re: your quote:

The best reply I can give you is

Anti-Catholic writer Loraine Boettner, in his book Roman Catholicism, makes the blanket statement, "God has forbidden the use of images in worship" (281). Yet if people were to "search the scriptures" (cf. John 5:39), they would find the opposite is true. God forbade the worship of statues, but he did not forbid the religious use of statues. Instead, he actually commanded their use in religious contexts!

Please read  Ex. 25:18–20 where God commanded the making of statutes.

1 Chr. 28:18–19. David made statutes at the altar.


Num. 21:8–9 >>Moses was instructed by God to make an image of a serpent (EWW)
This did not mean they worshiped it. (Not at that point anyway)

God forbids the worship of images and not the making of it. If that was the case then even in protestant churches, the images of Jesus would have been banned.

It is when people begin to adore a statue as a god that the Lord becomes angry. Thus when people did start to worship the bronze serpent as a snake-god (whom they named "Nehushtan", the righteous king Hezekiah had it destroyed (2 Kgs. 18:4).

I rest my case on this issue.

We can't agree on everything.

macfarland:
Latter-Day-Saint remains one of the best churches in town!

Watch the book of mormon south park episode.
The soundtrack says a lot

LMAO! This bible sef. . . . . .




Joseph being his earthly father, I guess.

You guys are making it out like we wake up and thank Mary or the saints etc. We pray to God. We use the saints/Mary to intercede on our behalf, especially when we feel our prayers are not currently being answered. Just like we would ask someone to remember us in prayer. . .or help us pray over our exams, etc. Angels/saints/Mary are not God. Please understand our practice instead of making assumptions cos we know what we know, and you guys end up sounding silly. No offence.

Can't believe a few people on here said we worship Mary.

[quote author=Natasha,, link=topic=800383.msg9531870#msg9531870 date=1321025086]Did the Bible ask you to pray through Her?
Did the Bible tell you to make graven images?

@poster please listen to frosbel [/quote]If someone on earth can pray for you why can't someone in heaven? It is called intercession
Someone deemed holier than man on earth.

(Please note we do not feel it necessary to do so. Personally I only hear her being mentioned in prayer during the Hail Mary prayer)




What graven images? Do we worship the statue of Mary, or the picture of Jesus/crucifix?
They are symbolic, they represent what we believe it. It's also a reminder, like you would have a photograph of someone.

If that is idolatry then protestants are guilty of this too.

Even if I wasn't brought up to honour Mary I still would honour her.
Of all the women that could have been chosen for tha
t task. . . .that says a lot.

No one worships her, she is not God. However we regard her, we sometimes pray through her, same way we may ask saints/angels to intercede, or ask a friend to pray for us.

Even the Angel Gabriel honoured and praised her during the annunciation. Her cousin said she was blessed among women and Mary said at one point "from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed".
Do the maths.

ikhideman:
I beg to differ about the "Humility" of Jesus as you described it. Jesus, though humble was very rich; he had abundant supplies while He was on the earth geared towards helping Him to spread the Gospel (or Good News). You can attack the flamboyance of SOME pastors, but really its not your place to do so, they will answer to God - Rom.14:4

Please where in the bible was he rich?
He was the son of a carpenter. What did his mom do?
Jesus was a carpenter too. I doubt they made designer furniture.


It is our place to attack these so called men of God. They are taking advantage of people, brainwashing them. Look at Prophet Warren Jeffs.

People need to stand up against evil. Speak up.  
Imagine if everyone did. What a big difference that would make.

Haven't seen Ini Edo in ankara/wrapper.

Never saw Monalisa in ankara when she was married, or Chika Ike.

I am yet to see the younger married women in wrapper.

He should be able to read her mind.



Chicks and shakara lol then they get jealous.
Playing hard to get is a thrill for them.

I'm guessing if they could see the future they wont play so hard to get.

Keep deceiving yourself with religious books that are not in any way accurate.

And who are you to say what is normal and abnormal?
So if the bible asked you to kill "abnormal people" you would?

You are discrediting a research because you are not aware of it. Interesting (!)

The point I am trying to make here is we need to stop blaming everything on the western world.

Incest is wrong because of the medical issues that arise. Besides, what do your siblings call you and your father's kid? No matter how "abnormal" their relationship might be I will not judge/condemn the people involved. They are 2 consenting adults. Research has established there is an attraction that exists between siblings/parent and child/child and grandparent, etc that have just been re-united. Even some victims of kidnapping fall in love with their captors. These people have no control of it. Is it fair to judge them?

I am only against relationships where people have not consented, or have been brainwashed to consent.

Research the Sambia tribe of New Guinea.

This is a tribe that wasn't in any way exposed to homosexuality, yet they practised homosexuality as a stage in puberty.


When will people stop saying it's a western thing?
If it was then why isn't the majority of the western world gay?



Black persecuted, Jews, gingers, women not allowed to vote, driver cars, etc. . . .ridiculous. When will this end? KMT!

Please enlighten me.

I am only aware of the sexual crap going on in some parishes.

kokoye:
well,

I know some wife who did it.

true story

That's sad!   Has to live with it for the rest of her life. Hope her husband or child is worth it though.

Not really. Some were quite expensive, for a student.
It could have been a car and I would have still returned it.

The sentiments behind them were gone, so I didn't see any point in having them even though the break up was clean. (The aftermath was a bit messy though) They were something I would have to see, touch, wear, listen to, etc. He only agreed to take one item back-an ipod. Think he later gave it to his sis.

Last time I checked Terry G wasn't exactly tall. SMH!
Is that the best he could come up with? Wack.




BTW that's my ring tone

Nope. . . for the same reasons Mrs. Chima gave.



Men are more likely to make this "ultimate sacrifice".
