Awww. Its ok girl. Dont cry *rubs demi's back*. I know u luv me (got no beef) ...I just said that out of jealousy.
Now i got what i want.

I attest to the fact that she's a peacemaker. She also don't sound her age. Although we started off together well. She was the first NL member i emailed (wit beats) but we hardly chat like before. Maybe its because i'm a guy and i love far. 
She once asked me not to respond to an insult on a thread and i had no choice but to obey. It sounded so 'wifely' I love u lots DEMI,...U r a real nice girl 

Use Time as a guage/detector. If u see each vwery often and spent quailty. See if u still remain together after a few yrs and u still got strong feeling for each other. Then its probably love..


BTW..there is no such thing as true or false love. its either Love or NOT.

Nigerian Pastors promise prosperity to those who give and pay tithes, but many such Nigerians are still poor. Do the churches refund their money when it is discovered that their tithes have not "opened the gates of heaven" as promised?
Does the fact that a scammer's victim has willingly sent his money make it any less a scam?

I do pay tithe and I'm blessed. It depends on the pastor. Some preach the message in its entirety and it works. While some don't get richer, a whole lot get blessed and testify to it. Tithinn isnt necessary payin to ur pastor. Its anyway u support the kingdom. Its connect u to heaven but u get tyhe blessing usually through ur work. U can sell bread and still become rich.

Moreover i don't talk for pastors. I talk for christians because i really don't know what the pastor preach. We could have 3 diff teachers for mathematics.  1 comes into the class and we r confused. the other comes in, teaches well and we grasp it. it same topic but 1 teacher is better than the other. The principle work but it depends on how its taught.

The victim didnt pick up the scammer to just 'bless' him willingly. There was a 'transaction' involved. This is totally different from donations which is obtainable in most churches.

"Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a midwest chain store"

Nice
Especially the line quoted above. I guess s/he meant "runnin" not "ruining".

Not only in fairness to women but also to d men. Its a burden marryin more than 1 wife (even if u hav the money).

However as a man if u want to marry more than 1 wife, be selfless enough to allow your wife to marry as many husbands too. They are humans as well. U don't own her. She was made to help u not serve u.

lol

I remember life b4 i knew christ. I wonder how people really live without him.

If you have an ulcer, you should be tested for Helicobacter pylori, and if found to be infected, you should be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are the new cure for ulcers; therapy is 1-2 weeks of one or two antibiotics and a medicine that will reduce the acid in the stomach (they've got different types at LUTH, lagos and Big chemists around u). This treatment is a dramatic medical advance because eliminating H. pylori with antibiotics means that there is a greater than 90% chance that the ulcer can be cured for good. Remember, it is very important to continue taking all of this medicine until it is gone, even when you begin to feel better. If you are having side effects that make it hard to take your medicine, talk to your health care provider

effects8000: As strange as it sounds, if Nigeria has that much churches, how come Nigeria is still the most corrupt country in the world?

If you doubt me ask yourself a simple question "when was the last time i prayed for world peace, or for Nigeria or for the less privileged we see everyday on our streets."

they are really ripping us off [churches]

Firstly, humans are rational beings. Nobody can force morality down your throat. The fact that people attend churches doesn't automatically make them good people. The problem is not with christianity but with the 'church goers'.

I must at this juncture ask why the correlation has been placed between christianity and crime. Those who propose this theory unconsciously talk about Christianity as if its the only religion in Nigeria. We have so many others: Islam (ubiquitous), Ecks, AMORC, Grail messengers, etc. Are those ones saints?

Secondly, as regards your prayer point. We do that regularly collectively (in church) and individually. Thats why we are christian- salt of the world (preservation). Not every church in Nigeria is fake and not every christian is gullible.

Thirdly, there is no case of ripping off. It becaomes a rip off if you were promised sumthing for a fee and after payment you never recieved 'exactly' what you were promised. This is not the case in most churches. Inasmuch as I do not vouch for any pastors (i'm aware there are fakes) I don't know of any that force you to pay. Yo give freely. If they are gullible to keep asking unecessarily and you keep giving (against your will) then you're foolish as well. There is no case of rip-off.

I don't think its wrong. It depends on both of you. What is wrong is carnal knowledge of yourselves before marriage not living together. So I'll say it's risky but not wrong.

................even if then she asks for sex,i wont want to do it,but if i did at last its going to be lovemaking not sex....

Just don't go there. If she ginni? Gee...guys are like jelly (melt at slightest heatin). If she asks u...u'll do it...I bet u. Girls can resist easily because they got more reasons to. Lets be practical.
Moreover this love making thing sef. Isnt sex and love 2 diff things. Do we really make love when havin sex? has love now become so tangible it can be made.



@c0dec.
Why is sex important?

Bani...dont you cafe operators in festac hav a union or sum'n

U should resist this police since u arent guilty of any crime. Let them arrest you if they have any warrant. Better still take a proactive measure. Get ur folks (cafe operators) that are disturbed and to the efcc office...not police cos dem don rotten for the head..all the same.

Read goodguy's post. 3 posts above this.

Ha..I'd wanted to say why sodgi, we r learning. Afterall we r under "General Discussion". We cant open threads for evry topic under heaven so a lil derailing is allowed.

Methinks they just want to scare us. Firstly are they claiming responsibilty for Stella's death too since it happened same time.

But come to think of it. There were lots of dignitaries aboard that plane...and thats a catch for terrorists group. is this another al-qaeda under our nose? Who's their osama?

nferyn:
This part makes me think again about why many Christians have such a self-centered view on their religion's role in history and especially about the infallibility of the contemporary interpretation of the Christian faith.

There are no records of the life of Jesus by any historian of that time, none whatsoever. The only writings we have are the apostolic writings that later became part of the Bible. Writings that had only a propagandatory role within the early Christian communities, for which the scientific discipline of historical criticism has found that those writings were copies of each other and for which no text could possibly have been written by a[b] contemporary of Jesus.
[/b]
Actually one of the few non-christian historical references to Jesus, the account by the famous Roman historian Flavius Josephus, is a later addition to the original text by Christian copyists. Other sources do not even entertain the possibility of a historical Jesus, but only make references to the many Christian sects that sprung up after the destruction of the temple and the banning of the Jewish people.

There is actually no conclusive evidence that Jesus actually was a real person.

There are records of his coming on earth. THe Bible is one.and if u call that bluff note this; His coming was to turn back d world. Everything he did then was seen as opposing authority and just like magicians and other mystic worker..he was thrown to d doldrums. I do not expect the world to hail his coming and every historian write about him. History then was centred around the kings and what they do not approve usually do not get archived as history. His sole purpose was not to become a political leader but to redeem humanity (..sounding preachy right?).
Its his followeres who can tell us more about him and thats why we study their books today.
the fact that we hav the supernatural followin the tenets we read is enough proove that its divinely ordained and the interpretation has not changed.

"before christ we didn't really have formal schools"
hahhahahahaha you make me laugh. you didn't learn much about socrates, plato, aristotle and the likes did ya?
remember, jesus didn't exist in the old testament. i wonder how that book was written.

The fact that we had philosophers and few learned people around then who had their way of passing messages accross didnt mean that there were formal schools then. Geddit!.
Jesus Lived in the old testament. He only came to give us the new. U wonder how the books were written? the old was wrtiien in greek and not several wrttings. I've not disputed wrting before him.. I disputed urbanisation of writing...evolution into so many forms as we have today.

WesleyanA:
do you know what ancient scribes are at all?  you can't just think of everything in terms of religion and israel. they've been in existence way before christ and they started in Egypt. the ones in Israel are just a more modern form of scribes. The real old ones were in egypt. being a scribe in the ancient days was a profession. much like being a journalist, secretary book keeper and so on today. their job was to ..........................

When i said scribes were called to read up scrools in Isreal...I never said there werent scribes elsewhere neither did i say (in any part of my posts) That isreal was the only place in the wrold then. I used isreal as a case study because its was considered developed based on the political activity present in that part of the world. it wont derail us to measure the world by standard in that place as at the time.

WesleyanA:
this sentence needs serious clarification! when we use the word "evolve" it's something that's continuous. when something
is evolving, it's everchanging even though the changes might not be significant.
i interpreted you sentence as "writing came in the BC's, stayed the way it was and only started to improve or change when jesus was born!". now that don't sound right. unless you think of the coming of christ as something like a miracle upon the face of the earth or something. jesus was just a normal if not an outcast guy in his days. it's not like he was special and changed the world or something.  it's only in the present times that he's regarded seriously. in his days he was nobody.  do you know how many years there were before christ? thousands of years. so looking at all those years, and writing didn't evolve? trust me it did. people wrote latin e.t.c before christ was born!

The nature wit which writing evolved is very obvious...check out history. How many different kind of writings were there before christ. How many were there after christ. Almost all forms (not all..but a whole lot) of writing today evolved after christ.
Remeber its not the number of years that matter. Its the need for its evolution. Do u know how many years man stayed without writing at all?

WesleyanA:
jesus was just a normal if not an outcast guy in his days. it's not like he was special and changed the world or something.  it's only in the present times that he's regarded seriously. in his days he was nobody.

U were very wrong there. Immediately after christ exit. the world experience a great revolution. The acts of the apostles changed the gentile world. Although those who believed in judaism then were still expecting him till date simply because they don't want to come to facts that they killed him.
He wasnt a nobody even when alive because everywhere he went multitudes gathered round him. It was for the fact that  the kings/preists then forsee him usurpin their government that he was killed. Jesus was a 'somebody' when alive and even after he died.

WesleyanA:
It is eventually expected to replace BC ?

That fact needs not to be argue. AD means Anno Domini (in the yr of the lord-referring to christ) and BC means Before Christ. If he was a nobody. Time wont be caliberated after him. in fact its because he caused a revolution that history made him a focal point. No history can surpas HIS STORY and i'll want us to wait till its changed....

WesleyanA:
history had been in the making A LONG TIME BEFORE CHIRST. at least do a little bit of research before posting wrong facts.
Jesus didn't have any effective role either primary or secondary in EVERY tribe that put down history (maybe in the religion secton it did).. .  keep in mind, there's more to history than religion. there are the political, social, economical aspects of life that have always been recorded that has nothing to do with christ!
his exit didn't spurn any world to delve into any research and knowledge. did you know about Copernicus, Galileo and other contemporary scientists?  their pioneer works were secular and even went against what the chistians believed (the earth was the center of the universe) they proved the christians wrong and Galileo was almost put to death by the christians for that. it's from their research and subsequent (improved) ones that we have greater knowledge about how the earth works today and also why we question the existence of God. many scientific findings (prooved) go against biblical contents.

The church (or religion has it was known) wasnt seperated from the state then. Kingdom ruled by belief in deities. So the
coming of Jesus wasnt a religious event. It was HISTORY. It affected the political, social and economic life. Cos the Enitire Nation of Isreal looked forward to him. I used Isreal as an example because its 1 of the oldest (if not the oldest) nation whom's complete history was put down for the world today. Its a good reference point to the world then. We had the greek kingdoms etc then who also believe in their own dieties.


Now the big part. Most scientific findings go against biblical tenets because Science aims to explain life from the standpoint of humanity and do not believe in the supernatural while biblical tenets explain life from the standpoint of the supernatural which subsequently explains the physical.
They (both schools) do not stand on the same pedestal and thus are not expected to agree. Science has limited itself by believin that every occurence on earth started from evolution...any findings outside that wont be accepted...therefore i conclude that science is fallible.its still growing.

Another twist to this. Even though i believe its rubbish..i'l never do it. I'm thinkin of sum'n else.

Why r we all scared of doing it? Does it mean we believe in the efficacy of that oath? If we do, why cant we go start step to proove our love. Any harm? - - I'm talkin to those "i'll love u till i die folks"

I cant believe what i just read above.

Oopa Latoya...u hav the power to make me bless NL. Just hook me up with Sonia Dikko and..............

I also heard from a friend yesterday that the police are really working on the boy's case. I hope they find a reasonable solution to it.

_{I guess Layi should be happy now}

Naa today polica begin work on case...I'll be happy only when the culprits are brought to book.

Latoya well done.

I am already sleeping....in my mind

MY list is still going through a screening process. Its a difficult job and a risky one too. I want to meet 12 NL members not 5. Risky because i'm not ready to loose any1 who's name isnt mentioned. Its difficult o.

Ladies callin me cutie everywhere i went from my office to the supermarket and on my way home.

I had a new haircut hairdo anyway. U bet i wont change it anytime soon.

Tamia dont put urself in a tite coner o.....pips r sharks here ready to tear ur posts.

By d way when do u intend to discover meet urself?

U'll feel lonely ONLY if u've got low self esteem.

Afterall u've been single all your life, why d sudden feeling of loneliness. I tell u, its because u see others pairing up and u think of the potential benefits of joinin them.

U've got to get some facts into your head to help ooze out the loneliness.

**That feeling is only a mind thing. U aint lonely. u don't really need companion. Ur friends are ok. Its just a plus if u have one

**U came to this world alone and u'll go alone. Only you're reponsible for your life. U've got to love yourself before anyone else.

**Pairing up aint all a bed of roses. It comes with its bad sides as well. In fact it could be hell if u paired up with the wrong person  (and that is worse than loneliness).

**There is time for everything. U'll surely hook up when the time is right. U;ve got a great Life ahead so don't rush.

Sincerely I'll want her to be beautiful in and out but i prefer in-wards because i believe a gentle/nice chimpanzee is far better than a wicked/fierce angel.

How can one park himself out. Teach me plz.

I'm not totally against ladies carrin defensive weapon but i just think its useless most times. It could even be harmful. Men are stronger and violent mentally and physically. If u try usin a weapon on men. He could get it out of ur hand (manouvres) and use it against u (except u r trained in martial arts).
