Christianity Etc › Re: 10 Things Every Christian Should Know About Islam by skyhighweb(op): 12:48pm On May 10, 2019
HRHQueenPhil:
what Muslims shld know about Christian's
1. Christianity is Not a religion, it's a lifestyle
2. we believe In GOD and believe HE is three in one father,son and the Holy Spirit
3. He is the same yesterday today and forever
4. a thief yesterday can become a Son of GOD today all sins forgiven IF he truly &deeply repents &surrender his life to Christ
5. you don't need to go to church or do any special preparations before you can pray. you are mandated as a Christian to pray without ceasing
6. we believe our Bible is the word Of GOD ,it is Spirit&life. hence if you truly understand what you are reading in the bible,it will change&transform your life. since it is life, it will chase every form of sickness from you
7. you cannot be a Christian if you don't have faith in GOD, hence every Christian assignment is to develop our faith everyday by reading the Bible,sharing&listening to testimonies,reading other Christian books and listening to tapes/messages from anointed men of GOD
8. there are many fake prophets,pastors andll leaders in the faith. a good Christian can distinguish them though
9. Heaven and Hell is very real. Christian's believe once you die, you will immediately be judged by our heavenly Father so start preparing. this Earth is NOT your permanent home. Live on Earth as if it's your last day
10. Christian's are selfless&mostly pray for unbelievers,the church to grow,welfare of members &the nation they live in
11. we are purely guided by the HOLY SPIRIT,now our GOD is a gentleman. he will not come unless you ask for his help so every decision we must ask him, sometimes even fasting esp on decisions like work,marraige, money issues,major family conflict because we believe there is a way that seemeth right but the end is destruction

comment if you need clarification on some things stated or other issues..
nice one

Christianity Etc › 10 Things Every Christian Should Know About Islam by skyhighweb(op): 9:05am On May 10, 2019
Islam is a fast-growing religion, especially in the Western world.

Christians increasingly need to be aware of Islam and, most importantly, how to engage its adherents with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are 10 things you should know about Muslim-majority country.

1. “Muslim” and “Arab” are not the same thing. “Muslim” is a religious term. A Muslim is someone who adheres to the religion of Islam. “Arab,” on the contrary, is an ethno-linguistic term. An Arab is a member of the people group who speak the Arabic language. It is true that Islam originated among the Arabs, and the Qur’an was written in Arabic.

However, some Arabs have historically been part of the ancient orthodox Christian churches. On the other hand, Islam spread far beyond the Arab world, and today most Muslims are not Arabs. This includes the Turks, the Kurds, the Iranians, the Pakistanis, other South Asian Muslims, the Malaysians and the Indonesians, almost all of whom are Muslim but none of whom is Arab.

2. The word “Islam” means submission. A Muslim is someone who submits to God. The Islamic conception of who God is, and how he is to be worshiped and served, is based on the teaching of Muhammad. Thus the Islamic creed is: “There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet.”

3. There are two major denominations of Muslims. The two major denominations of Muslims are Sunni and Shi’a. Sunnis are the vast majority, at 85 percent of all Muslims. The split occurred in the first generation after Muhammad’s death and was based on a dispute over who should succeed him as leader of the Islamic community.

4. Islamic theology could be summarized as belief in one God, his prophets, his books, his angels, his decrees, and the final judgment. Islam teaches that humans are born spiritually neutral, perfectly capable of obeying God’s requirements completely, and that they remain this way even after they’ve personally sinned. The need of humanity, therefore, is not salvation but instruction; hence Islam has prophets, but no savior.

5. Islam teaches that Jesus was a great prophet. Islam affirms that Jesus was born of a virgin, that he lived a sinless life, that he performed mighty miracles, and that he will come again at the end of history. It even calls him a word from God. However, it explicitly denies the deity of Christ and repudiates the title “Son of God” as blasphemous. It also (according to the majority view) denies he died on the cross, claiming that Jesus’ visage was imposed on someone else, who was then crucified, and that Jesus was taken up into heaven without tasting death. Islam explicitly denies the possibility of substitutionary atonement.

6. Islamic practice can be summarized by the Five Pillars of Islam. These are composed of the confession of faith (“There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet”), prayer (the ritual prayers said in Arabic five times a day while facing Mecca and performing the prescribed set of bowings, kneeling, and prostrations), alms (taken as a tax in some officially Islamic countries), fasting (the lunar month of Ramadan, during which Muslim believers fast during.....

Business › 5 Money Rules That Will Increase Your Net Worth by skyhighweb(op): 9:23pm On May 09, 2019
What’s your personal finance strategy? If you asked me a few years ago, I would probably laugh it off: “I’ll leave that for tomorrow.” Dumb move. If you don’t have a personal finance strategy, there’s a chance you will never get wealthy.

The average millennial earns $40-$50K a year and has $20-$40K in student debt. But the high achieving millennial earns up to 7X more than the average. The same is true for people of all ages. The difference between average earners and above-earners is huge. Once I realized that, I got serious about money. But I didn’t focus on making more money—a mistake that many of us make. We always think more cash is the solution to everything.

“All my problems will be solved once I have a little bit more cash on hand.” Sorry to disappoint you, but that will never happen. As your bank account grows, your problems will too. Yes, earning more is important. Not only for your bank account but for your career development. As you get better and have more experience you can earn more.

But we must stop thinking that the solution to all our problems is more money. We’re better off by creating a strategy that helps us to manage money better—that alone will help us break away from the average earners. To do that, I’ve created 7 money rules for myself.

1. Desire Less Here’s some common sense: It takes more time to make money than to spend it. You work thousands of hours to make a certain amount of money. And then, you can drop it all on a new car, luxury vacation, watch, or anything else that you desire.

We all know that, right? And yet, we keep on spending money like it’s nothing. I know this is something your granddad probably said, but the easiest way to grow your bank account is NOT to spend it all. It’s solid advice. The ancient Stoics knew about this too. True freedom means you desire less.

2. Know How The Economy Works When does the interest rate generally go up? When does it go down? What are bonds? What’s inflation? When do you get inflation? What’s a market cycle? Why do economies generally collapse? What’s debt? Who prints money? Why do they print money? I can go on forever, but you get the point. Look, you don’t have to be an economist (I sure ain’t one). But do yourself a favor, read a book like A Random Walk Down Wallstreet by Burton Malkiel.

It’s an excellent summary of how the economy and investing work. Or, spend some time on Investopedia.com and figure out the answers to all the above questions—and more. The point is that basic knowledge about how all this stuff works prevents panic. “Oh shit! The market is down! What now!!” Panicking will not help you.

3. Avoid Personal Debt Personal debt destroys your net worth like nothing else. To be clear, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with borrowing money. If you want to start a business or do big real estate deals, it’s often necessary and smart to take on debt. But we must be wise about taking on debt. Like investing, there are rules to it.

One thing is sure: Never borrow money to buy a car, electronics, or anything else that goes down in value. But when it comes to more complex things like growing/starting a business, investing in real estate, or even your education, think carefully before you go into debt. Remember that borrowing money is not free.

These are the shocking true stories of the unfortunate people who died while having sex.

The tragic stories highlight a dangerous side to everyone’s favorite pastime, so remember to take care next time you get down and dirty.
Crushed by porn

One man recently met a sticky end after being crushed by a mountain of pornographic magazines.

The Japanese man, named as 50-year-old Joji, was found six months after his 13,000-pound stash of porn magazines fell on him.

Cleaners tasked with tidying up his neglected apartment found that the entire apartment was crammed with the explicit magazines.

It is unknown whether the man, a former car manufacturer, had died from a heart attack and then fell into a stack of pornography, or whether he was crushed to death by his X-rated collection.

Plunge of passion

In 2007, a couple from Columbia, South Carolina, fell to their deaths after plunging naked from the roof of an office building.

The bodies of Brent Tyler and Chelsea Tumbleston, both 21, were found by a taxi driver in the middle of an otherwise empty street at 5 am.

The couple’s clothes were later found on the roof of a nearby building, where they were believed to have been having a risky outdoor romp before falling from the roof.

Half-day orgy ends in tragedy

A Russian man died in 2009 after completing a 12-hour orgy with female pals, who had bet him over $4,000 that he couldn’t keep going for half a day.

Minutes after completing the bet, mechanic Sergey Tuganov died of a heart attack, which had been caused by the huge quantity of Viagra he had guzzled to prepare him for the task.

Eaten by a lion after romping in the wild


In 2013, a Zimbabwean news website reported that a couple was attacked by a lion after having sex in nature.

The big cat killed Sharai Mawera after interrupting the couple, although her unidentified lover managed to run away before he could be killed.

After notifying the police, the male lover, who escaped wearing only a condom, found the woman’s mauled body at the scene of the attack.

Smothered to death by lover’s breasts

Donna Lange, 51, smothered her lover to death inside a mobile home.

The intoxicated woman, from Washington, claimed she didn’t know how the man died, although a witness claimed to have seen her crush his face with her chest.

Sperm bank heart attack
A trainee doctor, Zheng Gang, died of a heart attack in 2011 – after over-exerting himself whilst producing a sample at a sperm bank.

Mishaps and difficulties happen in every workplace. You feel a cold coming on, so you take a bunch of meds to make it through a big day. A fumble in the breakroom creates an unseemly mess for someone else to clean up. Like any good worker pushing for the American Dream, you figure a work around or a way to make it through.

Things on a porn set are no different.

We talked to several adult video actors and actresses, and asked them to share stories of their most memorable accidents on the job.


Mercedes Carrera
https://www.soundlala.com/uploaded/746/mercedes-carerra-1496757601.jpeg
“There was a period of time in late 2014 that I had really bad luck with pop shots. Now, if you know anything about porn, you know a ‘pop shot’ is the money shot—aka the cum shot.

“So, for about two weeks straight it seemed that every single one of my shoots was to end in a facial. I generally love cum, but for whatever reason I was cursed to get hit square in the eye with it every single time.

“Not only that, but it seemed to rotate—one time in the right eye, then the left, then both. Cum is acidic and tends to lead to several hours of redness generally.

“I have a habit of going to get my mail after my shoots, and aside from some stinging and redness, I generally forgot about the cum in the eye after it was washed out. But the fourth or fifth time I went to get my mail, the mail guy finally asked me ‘Is everything okay with your eye?’

“I realized that to the outside world, not only did I look like I had some sort of severe incurable pinkeye, but it was also migrating and I had no good explanation for it. I was so embarrassed and must have looked so guilty. I mumbled something about allergies and resolved to get better redness-cutting eye drops.

“Fortunately, my cum bad luck streak ended shortly after—but now that I’m joking about it, it will probably happen again.”

Casey Calvert
“One day, I was doing an anal scene, like I do. The guy and I are fucking on a bed, and everything is going great. It's towards the end of the scene, and we move to reverse cowgirl. I love reverse, it's one of my favorites but it's a little tricky on a bed and the angle can be kinda weird.”

So, we're fucking, shooting video, and it's a little awkward but fine. The still photographer is sitting way on the other side of the room, waiting for his turn. Totally out of the blue, the cock pops out of my ass.

“The still photographer screams. We pause. I had flung butt jelly—not poop; a slimy, clear combo of lube and mucus that it an unavoidable part of shooting anal sex—when the cock popped out, and it hit the photographer right in the eye.

“I thought it was pretty funny. He didn't.”

Tanya Tate
“The most gruesome, funny on-set accident happened whilst I was directing an all-girl movie. I was behind the camera watching the scene unfold. One girl was partially naked on all fours and had her backside up in the air. Another girl started licking in her rear crevice.

“She tongued a bit deeper, and suddenly the girl doing the licking stopped and screwed up her face. We paused the camera, and when asked if she was okay, she replied, ‘Oh yes, yes, I am now, it was only a little bit of poop.’

“Being a trooper, she just wanted to carry on. I am not sure where the poop went, I never asked. However, I did give her my toothbrush and some mouthwash so the girls could carry on.”

Derrick Pierce
“There was the time that my female counterpart was using a sea sponge because she was on her period. We were in doggie position and after ten to twelve minutes of banging away, I had worn the skin off on the head of my penis. It looked like Rudolph the Red Nosed Penis.

(Don’t end up like Derrick. Beware of these 4 Dangerous Sex Positions.)

“But that wasn't the worst part. After I realized the extent of my injury, I still had to bring it all to a ‘head’ and finish off with the pop shot. In order to do that, I had to masturbate until I got to an orgasm.

“I was almost in tears while desperately trying to end the vicious punishment that my hand was inflicting upon myself. We got the pop shot, but it put me out for a week.

“Or, there was the time that I was really sick, but it didn't hit me until I was already on set. I asked the [production assistant] for something to help out, to which he stated ‘No problem,’ he had some DayQuil. Except it turned out to be NYQuil.

“About half way through the scene, I was falling asleep. When we were setting up for the pop shot, the camera man had to keep waking me up because I was turning into a narcoleptic while I was jerking off.”

Daisy Ducati
“I was scheduled to shoot with my idol, Nina Hartley, and my best friend Mona Wales. It was smooth sailing for me that day, five-plus hours of shooting, until the very last scene. Our final circus trick required us to squat side by side on a large box with our butts hanging off.....

Celebrities › Ways To Show Your Lover That Size Doesn’t Matter by skyhighweb(op): 6:40pm On May 07, 2019
It’s what you do beneath the sheets that counts…
Size can be a touchy subject for men.

It’s easy to worry that your joystick isn’t big enough to stimulate your partner in the way you’d like. Don’t let this hang-up mean shortfall on your sex life!

The way you connect and what you do in the bedroom is far more important than the size of your manhood and the two of you can have great sex irrespective of joystick size.
Show your partner it’s not the size of the ship that matters by following these five simple tips:

1. Don’t forget pre-intimacy
A woman’s most erogenous zone isn’t necessarily the one between her legs so spend some time exploring and find out which parts of her body are the most sensitive, focusing on areas such as the back of her neck, nipples and inner thigh. Enjoy pre-intimacy together and introduce different textures, tastes and toys to really get things moving.

2. Tantalise with your tongue
Your joystick isn’t the only part of you that can stimulate your partner. For better sex that lasts longer, spend more time on pre-intimacy and giving your lover great MouthAction. Women tend to need a little more time to get geared up for the main event and this is a great way to leave her wanting more…

3. Get to the center of gravity
A woman’s center of gravity is the secret to helping her achieve a great orgasm so take your time exploring her body to find it. Asking her to guide you to the sweet spot will strengthen your connection and enhance your sexual experience. Once there, slowly stimulate and vary the pressure, depth and speed of stimulation to give her maximum pleasure.

4. Welcome a helping hand...

Crime › Supreme Court Just Struck A Huge Blow Against Policing For Profit by skyhighweb(op): 4:44pm On May 07, 2019
The Supreme Court struck an extraordinary blow for criminal justice reform on Wednesday, placing real limitations on policing for profit across the country.

Its unanimous decision for the first time prohibits all 50 states from imposing excessive fines, including the seizure of property, on people accused or convicted of a crime.

Rarely does the court hand down a ruling of such constitutional magnitude—and seldom do all nine justices agree to restrict the power that police and prosecutors exert over individuals.

The landmark decision represents a broad agreement on the Supreme Court that law enforcement’s legalized theft has gone too far.

Wednesday’s ruling in Timbs v. Indiana, authored by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is sharp and concise.

It revolves around a single question of extraordinary importance. The Eighth Amendment guarantees that no “excessive fines” may be “imposed,” an ancient right enshrined in the Magna Carta and enthusiastically adopted by the Framers. But the Bill of Rights originally applied only to the federal government, not the states. After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was ratified to apply these rights to the states, which had engaged in grotesque civil rights violations to perpetuate slavery.

The Supreme Court, however, slowly applied (or “incorporated”) these rights against the states one by one, not all at once.

And before Timbs, it had never incorporated the Excessive Fines Clause—allowing states to exploit their residents for huge sums of cash and property.

They did so through civil asset forfeiture, a process that we would call theft in any other context.

Here’s how it works: Prosecutors accuse an individual of a crime, then seize assets that have some tenuous connection to the alleged offense.

The individual need not be convicted or even charged with an actual crime, and her assets are seized through a civil proceeding, which lacks the due process safeguards of a criminal trial.

Law enforcement can seize money or property, including one’s home, business, or vehicle. It gets to keep the profits, creating a perverse incentive that encourages police abuses. Because the standards are so loose, people with little to no involvement in criminal activity often get caught up in civil asset forfeiture.

For instance, South Carolina police tried to seize an elderly woman’s home because drug deals occurred on the property—even though she had no connection to the crimes and tried to stop them.

Tyson Timbs is not quite so sympathetic, but his story illustrates the injustice of limitless forfeiture. In 2015, Timbs was charged with selling heroin to undercover officers in Indiana.

He pleaded guilty. A trial court sentenced him to a year of house arrest, five years’ probation, and an addiction-treatment program, which helped him overcome his opioid addiction. The court also ordered Timbs to pay $1,203 in fines and fees. So far, so fair.

But then Indiana hired a private law firm to seize Timbs’ Land Rover, which he used to transport heroin. The firm filed a civil suit to obtain the car, valued at $42,000—more than four times the maximum fine for his drug conviction. (Under Indiana law, the state and its chosen firm would get to split the profits.)

Timbs fought back, alleging that the forfeiture constituted an “excessive fine” under the Eighth Amendment, applied to the states through the 14th Amendment. The Indiana Supreme Court disagreed, holding that SCOTUS had never incorporated that particular clause against the states.



At oral arguments in November, multiple justices seemed incredulous that Indiana even raised that argument. “Here we are in 2018, still litigating incorporation of the Bill of Rights,” Justice Neil Gorsuch scoffed to Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher. “Really? Come on, General.” And on Wednesday, every justice agreed that the 14th Amendment applies the guarantee against excessive fines to the states.

In her majority opinion, Ginsburg traced the right back to the Magna Carta through the English Bill of Rights and the Virginia Declaration of Rights, all of which heavily influenced the U.S. Constitution. By the time the 14th Amendment was ratified, 35 of the 37 states explicitly barred excessive fines. And during debate over ratification, congressmen noted that Southern states were using punitive fines to subjugate newly freed blacks.

The framers of the 14th Amendment plainly intended to incorporate the Excessive Fines Clause to rein in these “harsh inflictions … almost reenacting slavery.”



“In short,” Ginsburg wrote, surveying this evidence, “the historical and logical case for concluding that the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Excessive Fines Clause is overwhelming.” She also swatted down Indiana’s fallback argument that the clause does not apply to proceedings over an individual’s property, holding that these forfeitures still qualify as “fines” that trigger constitutional scrutiny. Gorsuch and Justice Clarence Thomas wrote separately to quibble with a doctrinal matter: They argued that the Privileges or Immunities Clause is the proper vehicle through which to incorporate the Bill of Rights—not the Due Process Clause, as is generally accepted.

This cavil has no bearing on the outcome of the case.



In one sense, Ginsburg’s opinion is sweeping—it finally opens the federal courthouse door to victims of civil asset forfeiture, like Timbs, who believe they’ve been wronged. But Wednesday’s decision leaves some questions unanswered. The court has already ruled that when the federal government seizes money or....
