coldgate: HI NLDERS, I need your candid advice. My nine-month old son attends a creche run by the RCCG church which is only two blocks from my home.This is also where I worship.The Creche also has a tutorial class for afternoons. My 3 and half yr old daughter attends this after school. Now my grouse with the creche is that when my little boy started, the elderly pastor's wife who runs the creche also employed another woman to work at the creche. Recently, I noticed that whenever I go to the creche in the morning to drop my son (I work in a financial Institution on the Mainland and leave home at 7:45)the pastor's wife is no longer there. Instead, a young girl or at times, the pastor's ward dressed in school uniform is the one I meet at the creche. When I get to work, I try to call to find out if she is at the creche and she would reply that the she was there and the baby is fine. Now I have a strong suspicion that she leaves my child and others in the care of this young girl of about 15 yrs old. The other woman who used to work there no longer comes.I am seriously considering taking my son away from this creche because I am not satisfied with everything. Yet a part of me still clings on because THIS IS MY CHURCH. I guess I am just being sentimental. Pls, House, what do you advise?

A part of you still clings on because it is your church? Even when you sense that your child's welfare is being compromised by the pastor's wife? Please pull him out of that place for the sake of his well being.

Na wao for some of the questions on this board.

plappville: I never argue that there are not What we are talking about is The chief Captain Archangel that usually protects the people of Israel.
The same one that came to met Joshau and recieved Joshua's worship.

Angels cant be worshipped, it's unscriptural to worship Angels, so whom Joshua met and bowed down to was likely Jesus Christ.

Don't say am confused when you don't know what it means to be similar to the sons of men. Who are men(human beings) btw?

With reference to v21
Just like a general. A soldier under the command of a general will not tell you that the general is helping him to fight boko haram.

Michael is the commander of God's army and atimes also appear as a man. Note that the arch angel is very great and mighty. Infact when i read where God told the israelites to obey him and that he(Michael) might not forgive them if they disobey him, i begin dey fear him o. He does not only commands God's army but we all also. He is our commander.

The one similar to the sons of men is also a fighter and said that the arch angel is helping him to hold the force. This shows that he is greater.

So tell me who is it that the commander is helping?

Exodus 23:21: According to Biblical scholars, the Angel refered to in Exodus 23:21 is the Pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, definitely not Michael.

The above, perhaps, should put an end to this question on if Jesus Christ is Michael or not.

Jesus Christ is not a created Being. He's been with the Father right from the beginning.

Read thihttps://www.christiancourier.com/articles/396-was-jesus-created-by-gods:

In the olden days, divorced women were shunned socially in the society for fear that they would either corrupt a married woman or break down her marital home.

Even today, there are some men who express discomfort at the mere fact that their wives are on friendly terms with a friend of theirs who is divorced. Part of thier discomfort is the fact that they might try to break up their marital home.

Even women at times might shunned their divorced friend out of fear they might be out to pursue their husband or wreck their marriage out of jealousy.

What do you think? Your wife's friend just got a divorce and would you issue an ultimatum to her to stop hanging out with her friend or simply avert your eyes the other way?

7-Year-Old Girl Narrates How Wicked Step-Mum Forced Her To Eat Her Faeces

at 11/13/2012 06:33:00 AM


A sombre atmosphere last week engulfed the court as a seven-year-old girl gave a heart-rending account on how she was forced by her stepmother to eat faeces as punishment for soiling blankets.

The 19-year-old stepmother is facing charges of ill-treating a minor under provisions of the Children's Act.

The girl gave evidence in the victim friendly court, on a closed circuit television screened from a separate room. Harare magistrate Ms Anita Tshuma is presiding over the case.

The girl said her father threatened her if she gave incriminating evidence against his wife. Ms Tshuma was forced to briefly adjourn the court after many people watching proceedings from the closed circuit television could be seen shedding tears. In her testimony, the girl said she had a running stomach when the stepmother forced her to eat her faeces.

"I had a running stomach and I told mother before I soiled the blankets. After I soiled the blankets, I was beaten with a hosepipe before she chased me out of the house in the evening. While outside the house, mother poured cold water all over my body and forced me to wash the blankets. She threatened that I was going to sleep outside the house if I did not open my mouth and eat the faeces," she said.

During cross-examination by prosecutor Ms Francisca Mukumbiri, the stepmother denied ever ill-treating the minor, saying she had been taking care of her since 2009. She, however, admitted to assaulting the girl using a stick.

Charges against the stepmother arose sometime this month, when the minor soiled her blankets. She allegedly forced her to eat the faeces. A neighbour saw the minor's mouth full of faeces before she washed her, it is alleged.

It is alleged that the stepmother assaulted her and denied her food, forcing her to rely on neighbours. The accused allegedly failed to take the child to school on numerous occasions. The matter came to light when an anonymous note was dropped in a police suggestion box leading to the stepmother's arrest.

Techwriter: President Barak Obama has only two daughters. The implication of this is that the name Obama is near extinction in the United states after the demise of the president. As an African man, would you tow Obama and Clinton's path? If you are his brother, would you advice him to adopt a son in other to preserve his name? What does he stand to loose? Lets compare US and Africa for a while, are there lessons our typical son-seeking African man should learn from the US or is it them that should learn from Africa

No, the name, Obama, wont be extinct in the near future, as he has half-brothers who would perpetuate his family name to future generations. But even if, a child is a child, be it girl or boy.

child abuse!

sigba: Pls i dont understand what u mean by using a cover letter, i'l appreciate if u explain. Thanks.

Cover letter is a letter written by you stating why you are interested in the job, qualifications and education. It should be concise, straight to the point and tailored towards the advertised job objectives/duties

[quote author=Dr. Wise]Ok. I had wanted to ask you if you knew the Nentys and Eduoks in Staff school. They were staying at the quarters and now based in the USA. I lost contact with them when they left Hope Waddell for the US.[/quote]Have you tried searching for them on facebook?

Zero dollars.

[quote author=Dr. Wise]I finished from Army Children School, 2 . Akim barracks in 1990. You attended staff school, were you staying at the Unical staff quarters?[/quote]No, I lived at Asang Eniong, very close to Goldie. I know of some mates of mine who lived at staff quarters though. It was one of the nicest period in my life, growing up in calabar.

Opoki: I can't imagine how the woman will feel if one day the boy say
"Mum, i hate those stitches in your stomach...it piss me off"

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. God was with her, Thank God.

Read this story about one performed in Uganda a long long time ago.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/cesarean/part2.html

Mine was Mrs Ekpoh (RIP) of the University of Calabar Staff School. I was in grade 2 when she was my teacher and I grew to like her classes and the subjects like Mathematics and English. I still remember reading her glowing comment on my report sheet in my grade 2, that I was "good at reading, even difficult words." I think I might have been her favorite pupil at staff school, or maybe one of her favorites and she and my mom sort of became acquainted. She is late now, she died few years ago, I was very sad. Her brother is married to one of my cousins. What a small world, may her soul rest in peace, Amen.

Dr. Wise, when did you finish at Army Secondary school?

P/S: I hope this doesnt include grad school advisors.

Very interesting topic, but if you know what is right, then why postpone it until the last minute, or do you think that God, the Omniscient Supreme Being who knows the intent of our heart would casually look at a fellow's intent to steal, rob and do all sorts of atrocities, with hopes that they would repent at the last minute? I am not perfect and I pray to God to guide me in His Grace.

inurmind: Poor kids. You can as well ban them from watching disney and nick and all the other kid channels since people say they are controlled by illuminatti.
Not even Dora the explorer is suitable.
Also ban them from celebrating christmas on the 25th of december since it also has pagan origins.
Then u can ban them from going to school because u never know who's who.
Please realise that inorder to raise healthy and happy children you should allow them go through the wonderful experiences that other kids go through. What memories would they be able to share with others and even your grand kids except ''Momma banned me from doing it. Never understood why.''

I mean, what harm has trick or treaty done to your kids apart from making them happy?

So, you are depriving kids of their childhood because they are not allowed to partake in halloween activities? (smh)

JeSoul: I don't understand the point of halloween.

And this is not based on the "it has pagan roots" etc etc or else there is plenty in our lives (christians) we would not celebrate at all. Not everything has to be "scriptural" before you ban or not ban it.

My argument is on the surface, basic instinct - what is fun in the idea of celebrating terror, death, gore, blood, evil, horror, darkness etc etc?? I just don't see it. Our rational sensibilities would tell us that its odd - if not for society has accepted it as 'normal'. Someone will say its just fun for the kids to dress up & get candy - can't I give my kids candy without dressing them up in ridiculous looking costumes in the name of whatever?

^just my 2cents.

I was doing a research about Mansa Musa some weeks ago and read the conclusion by certain historians that he was the richest man who ever lived. Dunno how true it is, but I have read about his fabled wealth, generousity, pilgrimage to Mecca where he gave so much money that led to inflation in Egypt for years.

[quote author=remmyton]Please house I need ur advice.

Me and my fiance have been together for five years now. In those years, we have had a lot of obstacles and problems, but we have been able to overcome them

Now, there is a bigger problem, I got an admission to study medicine in London, my visa is ready too, I don't trust my fiance to keep faithful while I am away, cos I have always had this feeling that he is not faithful now. But, he has always sworn that since we started dating he has not seen another woman, but I wonder who is chibaby n others on his Whatsapp, I know all his cousins and relatives.

He is one who foot all the expenses of this travel, we are engaged, but all these does not keep my mind at rest, he loves me, I know, I don't understand why I don't trust him, maybe because men are d biggest liars or my emotions are deceiving me cos he is my first love.

I am just confused instead of happy I am going outside to study.

House I am asking for your opinion here, should I date another man while I am in London or should I just be faithful as I have always been. Duration of my stay in London is six to seven years, how do I cope with this feeling.



If you dont trust your fiancee, why are you still with him?

anonimi: Is hiding the truth not lie
Apart from Abraham there are many more leading Bible figures who lied when in "tight" or not so tight circumstances:

* Jacob, who became Israel, lied to his father by pretending to be his brother Esau.
* David lied by pretending to be a mad man to save his life.
* Peter lied about knbowing Jesus to save himself from embarrasment

Etc etc.

Jacob paid a huge price for using deceit in stealing his brother's birthright. Originally, he was supposed to be the recipient of it, according to Biblical prophecy, but he went about it the wrong way.

It's a question that I have always wondered and asked myself. Look at Rahab who lied when her towns people came to her house demanding the whereabouts of the spies. And she never told them that she had hidden them.

Or imagine this scenario, if a thief breaks into a house demanding to kill the head of the family who is hidden in an undisclosed location in the house, should the wife (who is a born again christian) be honest by revealing this location to have her husband killed or lie that her husband is around? Food for thought.

tobechi74: each tym i hear MUSLIM and christian GOD, i am confusd. We both worshp d same one God in difrent ways 2ru difrent mediums

No we dont. Allah and Jehovah are different. Jehovah declares Jesus Christ to be His only Son while Allah dismises the divinity of Jesus Christ. So what does that tell you?

Instead of aborting, give up the baby for adoption.
