 Crime › Man Kills Own Mum - After Accusing Her Of Being A Witch by tiatma(op): 11:54am On Nov 28, 2009 |
[size=13pt]Man Kills Own Mum - After Accusing Her Of Being A Witch[/size] A divorced father of three stabbed his mother 21 times after becoming convinced that she was a witch and had put a curse on him, a court in Britain heard on Friday. Kayode Kuye reportedly tortured and killed Christina Kuye, 69, because he believed she had ruined his life with a black magic spell, the Old Bailey was told. Unemployed Kuye, 50, of Edmonton, north London, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. The judge, Christopher Moss, ordered him locked up indefinitely under mental health laws and described it as a “brutal” killing. Kuye reportedly attacked his mother after letting himself into her home in Finchley, north London, with a key in May last year, the court heard. After a lengthy argument, he stabbed her 21 times to the upper body, also slashing her arms and hands as she tried to defend herself. He was later arrested covered in blood at Finchley Central station, laughing as he said: “I have had an argument with my mother.” Policemen forced their way into her home where they found her body in her bedroom. Kuye later told psychiatrists that his purpose was “to torture his mother to try to prevent her from continuing what he perceived to be black magic upon him,” said Alan Kent, prosecuting officer. Mr. Kent said: “The motivation behind his attack was his paranoid and deluded belief that his mother had cursed him through witchcraft and had ruined his life.” Mrs. Kuye came to Britain from Nigeria in 1961 with her husband, who died in 1984. She had eight children, including the defendant, and 20 grandchildren. She herself believed in witchcraft and her son became increasingly interested in the subject during the four years before he killed her. His mother helped him get in touch with a witch doctor she knew in Nigeria and he would send him money “for advice and medicine,” the court heard. Two years before the killing, he began to blame her for all his problems, saying she had “sacrificed him as a child and had put a curse on him.” He believed that “he was a king and should be rich, but the curse prevented this from happening.” For about a year before his mother’s death, he had been saying he was going to kill her, as well as other family members. On the day of the stabbing, he had been “ranting and raving” at his former wife and told her that “he had to go and do what he had to do,” the court heard. http://www.tribune.com.ng/28112009/news/news5.html RIP |
| Christianity Etc › How Smart Are Your Chickens? by tiatma(op): 5:23pm On Nov 27, 2009 |
[size=14pt]Take the time to learn from your Bible what God says about the food on your table.[/size] [flash=560,340] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FhujnDynK0&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash] Video Transcript How smart are your chickens—and I don't mean the Kentucky Fried variety? As reported recently in the Sunday Independent of South Africa, the indigenous African chickens owned by Strilli Oppenheimer displayed a remarkable fowl insight. Her head gardener Dawid Klopper brought her news that the birds were refusing to eat the maize in the chicken food. Maize in America is called corn. After testing at the University of the Free State the maize was found to be genetically modified, containing BTI (natural bacterial insecticide) and Roundup weed killer. This is just another episode in the very much ongoing controversy about whether genetically modified foods are safe for human consumption. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) began to first be developed twenty five years ago. The craze gathered steam in the United States, but soon ran into heavy scientific and consumer resistance elsewhere. Many of those who oppose genetically modified foods claim that enough testing for long term safety has not been done. They charge that the GMO rush to market has been a rush to profit for seed and agri-chemical companies. Yet the GMO companies counter that their products will produce considerably more food of earth's burgeoning population—and that those foods are safe for consumption. So far many health experts are not convinced. Hungarian-born protein scientist Dr. Arpad Pusztai has been a leading critic of genetically engineered crops. In a recent article he criticized the GMO industry for using a questionable safety benchmark called “substantial equivalence”. Substantial equivalence means that the genetically modified plant is close enough to the parent line to appear safe. This is based on the idea that man can engineer gene-splicing with the exact precision with which the DNA would duplicate itself. There's a logical flaw in that reasoning—very likely overlooked by even many anti-GMO experts and proponents. This flaw is the assumption that man can manipulate life forms as well as, or better than God who created them. Man is himself a remarkable part of the creation, but man is not the Creator. Whenever humanity has tried to play God, they have won no Academy Awards—not one! Take the time to learn from your Bible what God says about the food on your table. Do that, and you'll be even wiser than Strilli Oppenheimer's South African chickens—and they're smart! For GN magazine, I'm Randy Stiver. |

With all due respects yall both should please spare us your flaky understanding and wobbly theology God is eternal, ever existing. He predates time. He is not subject to time. He established time, if you can be bothered refer to Genesis 1:14 He determined when time starts and when it will end (i.e. the Alpha and the Omega, Beginning and End) God steps into and out of time, yes Jesus spent time on Earth. This is quite possible because God is unlimited in power and it's only Him that can be in more than one place at the same time (i.e. simultaneously be in heaven as God the Father and be on earth as God the Son without a hitch) Nothing is impossible for God to do except if He only doesnt want to . . . |

| Christianity Etc › Re: 4 Questions Needed Contributors Pls. by tiatma: 8:58pm On Nov 25, 2009 |
muyinice:@Muyinice - this is keeping it short and simple 1) Does luck lead to success? >> There is no reference to luck in the scriptures (i.e. There is no bible verse mentioning luck, good luck or bad luck) so No, luck does not lead to success As a matter of fact FAVOUR (i.e. help, aid, act of kindness, good deed/turn, support etc) in umpteen times, is the closest to LUCK that you would find in the Bible. While we're on the term FAVOUR, recognise that the FAVOUR of God leads to good SUCCESS Food for thought, apparently according to Joshua 1:9 there is good success, so if there is good success, there is bound to be bad or evil success Joshua 1:7-9 (King James Version):Nonetheless the Bible reveals that things happen solely as a result of either the will of God, the will of God and human will or the will of Satan and the human will. 3 John 1:2 encapsulates the essence of complete and good success, which is why it is one of the favourite verses I quote when wishing someone well, it says, 3 John 1:2 (King James Version):2) Is it right to move with un-believers? >> GOD came to Earth because of unbelievers. He moved and dined with them without sinning so why the foot shuffling or hesitance. The below scripture references should illuminate further Romans 12:1-2 (King James Version): Matthew 5:13-16 (King James Version):3) Is it right to make everybody your mentor especially un-believers? >> No, no, no, No. Not everybody, the litmus test is their fruits, character and right standing with God. Use these three indicators (i.e. fruits, character and right standing with God) to prompt a decision Note that right standing with God implies simultaneously doing the right thing, at the right time whilst been on God's right hand side Matthew 7:15-18, 20 (King James Version): 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 (King James Version):4) How can a total teenager affect their society positively? >> You accomplish this simply by been about the Father's business These verses should illuminate further Luke 2:49 (King James Version): Matthew 25:34-40 (King James Version): |
| Crime › Jealous Worker Murdered Lover And Cut Up Her Body With Circular Saw by tiatma(op): 9:27pm On Nov 24, 2009 |
Jealous Tesco worker murdered lover and cut up her body with circular saw A jealous boyfriend murdered his lover and cut up her body with a circular saw after she started internet dating, a court head today. Jamal Bakhit, 25, stabbed Rahmona Ahmedin, 23, to death at her home when she tried to end their four-year relationship. The former criminology student then packed her dismembered body into two suitcases and dumped them beside the A1301 in Hinxton near the border between Essex and Cambridgeshire. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/24/article-1230581-07582884000005DC-329_224x275.jpghttps://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/24/article-1230581-075859B1000005DC-998_224x275.jpg Rahmona Ahmedin's body was packed into suitcases by Jamal Bakhit (right) Swedish-raised Miss Ahmedin, of Islington, north London, had been seeing up to three different men in the months before her death. She had also fallen pregnant but had a termination against the wishes of Bakhit, who wanted to keep the child. Bakhit, who was jailed for life after being convicted of murder, played the part of the concerned boyfriend when he reported her missing to Islington police station. He claimed he last saw Ethiopian-born Miss Ahmedin alive when she travelled to Bristol on June 6 last year to visit a friend. The Tesco worker even sent text messages on her mobile phone and used her bank card to make it look like she was still alive. But a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court took just an hour-and-a-half hour to convict him of murder following a three-week trial. Bakhit showed no emotion as he was later ordered to spent at least 20 years behind bars. Jurors heard the victim's body was found by horrified truckers Philip Lear and Derek Lumley in the early hours of June 18 last year. Mr Lear and Mr Lumley - who were sleeping in their cabs after parking up at the truck stop - were awoken by Miss Ahmedin's burning corpse which passing motorists mistook for a bonfire. Firefighters extinguished the flames by splashing the body with handfuls of water to disturb the crime scene as little as possible. Signs of insect life in the charred, dissected corpse indicated Bakhit had stowed Miss Ahmedin for several days before she was torched. Tests also found Miss Ahmedin had been doused in petrol. A postmortem revealed slightly built 5ft-tall Miss Ahmedin had also suffered a defensive stab wound to her right hand as she desperately fended off Bakhit's blade. Pathologist Dr Nathaniel Cary identified the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest which was likely to have caused a prolonged agonising death. 'A stab of that kind would not be expected to cause a particularly rapid death,' he said. Bakhit had been captured on CCTV at Birchanger Green Services - just a few miles from the Hinxton layby - in his VW Golf about an hour before the discovery of Miss Ahmedin's body. The African, who had taken over a launderette in Fulham, west London, admitted driving along the M11 but claimed he was travelling to Colchester, Essex, to recruit a worker for his business. Paul Purnell QC, defending Bakhit, tried to convince the jury Bakhit was 'a suspect' rather than 'the suspect' with all the men in her life. 'She was in contact with people she had met through the [dating] website who were engaged in physical, sexual contact with her and who had visited her flat,' said the barrister. Detective Constable Stuart Brown, who filed Miss Ahmedin's missing person report, described Bakhit as 'calm and calculated' when he reported her disappearance. The officer told the court: 'It was just his demeanour - the fact he seemed to be making a report as if he already knew where the report was going.' Miss Ahmedin's friends Brenda Lukwago and Zelia Vanderpuije desperately tried to contact Miss Ahmedin in the days after her disappearance. They demanded Bakhit let them search her flat on the Peabody Estate for clues but Bakhit claimed there was no electricity and the pair were left to grope around in the dark. A police search later uncovered a knife wrapped in plastic on a kitchen work top and Miss Ahmedin's belongings such as her purse, handbag and make-up bag. Detectives never discovered the cutting tool used to slice Miss Ahmedin's body into three pieces. Bakhit, of Fulham, west London, denied murder.

Niyi53:@above Origin of Fantastical tales about Yus Asaf of Rozbal also known as Jesus of Kashmir According to the fantastical stories the rod of Moses was also originally kept at the grave of Yus Asaf of Khanyar but was later moved to the shrine of Sheikh Zain-ud-din at Aishmuqam, that there is another grave the real grave underneath the present one kept at the location. And so on. The stories are fantastic. Recently some one even wrote a thriller around the stories titled 'Rozabal Line' inspired by the'Rose Line' in "Da Vinci Code". [A BBC series on the Stories, this part of video concerns Jesus in Kashmir] I first read about - 'Rozbal, Jesus in Kashmir, grave of Yus Asaf (Kashmiri Jesus) at Rozbal Khanyaar, and so on', many years ago as a teenage when one afternoon I discovered a tattered old thin book (don't remember its name) about the Kashmiri Jesus in the Ranbir Singh library of Jammu. I was certainly intriguing, especially at that age. These fantastic stories about 'Jesus in Kashmir stories' first started doing rounds towards the end of 19th century and were spread and started by Ahmedias. It actually had more to do with power tussle among the Muslims. Muslims believe Jesus Christ was not crucified but rather ascended straight to heaven. They also believe that his second advent would signal the end of world, that would be Qiyamat (the Day of Judgement). As opposed to this Ahmedians have their own concept of the last Messiah. Ahmedians believe Christ, wounded and in an unconscious state, was removed from the cross at the last moment and moved to a secret burial altar . Special ointment (marham-i-isa) was applied on his wounds and over days he eventually got better. But then he came out of the burial vault and traveled to the holy land of Kashmir where he taught the lost tribes of Israel, became known as Yus Asaf, lived until the age of 120 and was finally buried at Khanyaar. Today's the start of 20th century thee stories were picked by visiting foreigners who were already fascinated by the 'Jewish' looking Kashmiris and now by these interesting tales about Kashmiri Jesus. Sir Francis Younghusband, Resident of Kashmir for three years starting 1906, about these Jesus in Kashmir stories, wrote in his book 'Kashmir' (1911): "Other interesting types of Kashmir Mohamedans are found among the headmen of the picturesque little hamlets along the foot-hills. Here may be seen fine old patriarchal types, just as we picture to ourselves the Israelitish heroes of old. Some, indeed, say, though I must admit without much authority, that these Kashmiris are of the lost tribes of Israel. Only this year there died in the Punjab the founder of a curious sect, who maintained that he was both the Messiah of the Jews and the Mahdi of the Mohamedans; that Christ had never really died upon the Cross, but had been let down and had disappeared, as He had foretold, to seek that which was lost, by which He meant the lost tribes of Israel ; and that He had come to Kashmir and was buried in Srinagar. It is a curious theory, and was worked out by this founder of the Quadiani sect in much detail. There resided in Kashmir some 1900 years ago a saint of the name of Yus Asaf, who preached in parables and used many of the same parables as Christ used,as, for instance, the parable of the sower. His tomb is in Srinagar, and the theory of this founder of the Quadiani sect is that Yus Asaf and Jesus are one and the same person. When the people are in appearance of such a decided Jewish cast it is curious that such a theory should exist ; and certainly, as I have said, there are real Biblical types to be seen everywhere in Kashmir, and especially among the upland villages. Here the Israelitish shepherd tending his flocks and herds may any day be seen." The founder of the sect (Ahmedian) was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian who died in 1908. The really interesting thing is that at the root of these stories was a Russian Jew converted to Greek Orthodoxy, a man named Nicolas Notovitch ( believed to be the inspiration for the character of Great Game Spy in Rudyard Kipling's Kim). In 1887 Nicolas Notovitch, visited India and Tibet. Notovitch claimed that during his travels in the Himalayas, at the monastery of Hemis in Ladakh, he came to know about the 'secret life of Jesus' through a 'Tibetan gospel' (that he translated as) "Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men." In 1894, Notovitch got this 'unknown gospel' published in French as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ. And it later became famous 'The Unknown Life of Chris'. According to this text Jesus at the age of thirteen ( start of his lost years ) traveled to India and learned the local religious of Jains, Hindus and Buddhists and preached to them. And so the stories go on. Now, here's the interesting part . . . To read further http://searchkashmir..com/2009/05/origin-of-fantastical-tales-about-yus.html |

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? Plato: For the greater good. Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained. Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its pancreas. Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD! Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out. Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take. Douglas Adams: Forty-two. Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you. B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will. Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being. Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road. Ludwig Wittgenstein (Early): The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence. Ludwig Wittgenstein (Late): Because it had reached bedrock, and its spade was turned. Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference. Aristotle: To actualize its potential. Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken- nature. Salvador Dali: The Fish. Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees. Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death. Epicurus: For fun. Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it. Johann Friedrich von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it. Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain. Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast. David Hume: Out of custom and habit. Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it. Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road? The Sphinx: You tell me. Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately , and suck all the marrow out of life. Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated. Molly Yard: It was a hen! Gene Roddenberry: To boldly go where no chicken , Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side |
