women do browse and contribute to the business section, on occasion. The place is very interesting.


However, it[b] is [/b] dominated by men. Or at least thats what it looks like.


In real life, however, no be only men dey do business. I wonder why it seems that way online.

Be kiaful.

There was a lady that hissed when a man of God was talking and after she left evrything turned against her.

A sickness that cud not b acertained came over her. They hospital recommended that she find spiritual help. she met a man of God who told her that the reason 4 her affliction was what she did and what was that, hissed at another man of God.

So b kia ful. You aint no judge but God. You either believe or u keep mum.
ah, all this because someone hissed at a man of God, you say.

so what of Jesus who was actually crucified?

as I asked before- are all of you holier than Jesus himself?



my people perish for lack of knowledge. I hope you've heard this scripture before.

all of them making vapid threats over nothing. If you really know what you're doing, why not go to saudi Arabia and spread your faith there. You believe in miracles, don't you? Why can't you go to saudi or Indonesia and try out all these things you claim.  Most of you, even if you see ordinary almajiri or babalawo, you'll pick race, forgetting about miracles or touching God's anointed.


People who actually understand what they believe, and whose faith is valid, don't make the kind of loud noises some folks have been spewing on this thread.  undecided undecided

so to you, anyone who says they're from Cameroon, is actually from Nigeria, right?


You're so ignorant.





EXPONENT:
I've encountered this on the REGULAR!



When you ask them from what geographical area and tribe they fumble their words and stumble through more lies and act all surprised.
hmmm. See a so-called American trying to say he's familiar with Cameroon locations and tribes. Thank goodness for wiki and google.

I'm Cameroonian but I don't know which tribe and geographical area I'm from. You have a problem with that?

Actually, I'm from the Nupe part of Cameroon. I hope that's okay with you.  angry angry angry

tpia.

Yes sir.

Pastor Adeboye shared the testimony with us several years ago at the university of Ibadan, Nigeria

That testimony and the explanations that followed changed my impression of God.

Let me share my personal experience with you.

This happened many years ago. I picked up my father's Nitel land phone and started talking as if God was on the other side. I can't remember what exactly I asked of Him. God granted my request.

Well, it may feel unusual and funny. Funny as it was, God still granted my request.
hmmm.

Good for you, I'd say.
Christianity EtcRe: History Of The Church by tpia: 4:01pm On Jun 20, 2008
@ topic:

The Roman empire was in a serious decline. Constantine's decision to make Christianity the state religion was as much political as it was personal. It was a very shrewd move, and it did help boost the sagging Roman republic.

An Egyptian Pharaoh did something similar with sun worship.

fyneguy:
lol tpia

Sorry I don't think u can understand,

The tea testimony was given by Pastor Adeboye to let people understand 1. How close God could get to us.

2. God also plays with His children  3. He grants our requests

We tend to put God in a box. We often don't understand the father-son relationship we have with Him.

We see God as one huge distant Giant who is just after who to trample on whenever we go against Him.
so you got all that from this particular story about tea drinking.

ok. undecided

so why would you read this and still believe intellectualism and religion dont mix? Do you get my point here?






as per the entire quote, check verses 18 and 19, for the summary.

fyneguy, what's with this last testimony of yours ( about tea drinking)? huh huh huh huh

Please read it over and take time to reflect. I'm not sure this will make any difference, but I don't know what else to say.


If you're going to talk about testimonies, can you do so in a way that wont make people question your entire religion?

Are you publicly praising the GO or trying to expose him to ridicule?

But you've forgotten that they are not from Dubai but Detroit. They are Americans and, they have all the right to be close to their president to be (politically).
Detroit has quite a lot of Muslims and Arabs, just for the record.

Metro Detroit's ethnic communities are diverse and include descendants of the French founders, as well as Irish, Germans, Scots, Poles, Italians, Greeks, Albanians, Armenians, Jews, Arabs, and Lebanese who settled during the city's early twentieth century industrial boom. Metro Detroit has the largest concentration of Belgians outside of Belgium; Cadieux Street on the city's east side north of Grosse Pointe constituted the heart of one of the few distinctly Belgian neighborhoods in the US. during the early- and mid-twentieth century. In Detroit and the metro area, there is a large Chaldean population and a large concentration of Arab Americans in Dearborn


wiki.
Detroit – Arab Capital of North America


Imagine! When I first came to Detroit, I thought that I was still in the Arab world.” Muhammad, once a Lebanese, but now an American, remarked when I asked him if he felt a longing for his homeland. He went on, “In fact, this city is much better than southern Lebanon where we were continually dodging bombs and waiting for the next Israeli incursion. Here, I live in an almost Arab city. There are more Arab things to do in this town than in my country.”

Smiling, he pointed to the Arab retail establishments along Warren Avenue in Dearborn, the heart of Arab Detroit. “See! These are some of Detroit ’s Arab bookstores, grocery outlets, restaurants and sweet shops. We have Arabic language schools and Arabic entertainment, from nightclubs to radio and television programs, and even our political parties have branches in this city – and all this without fear of the daily Israeli attacks.”

Everywhere I looked, shops proclaimed their products and names in both Arabic and English. Women in head scarves mingled with others dressed in the most modern style. Pedestrians passed by speaking loudly in Arabic as they greeted each other in a hospitable and friendly fashion. It was a scene that could easily be replicated in Beirut or Sidon.

These shops and other establishments, emphasized by Muhammad’s words, truly describe the Arabs and their lives in this automobile capital of the US. Coming from almost every corner of the Arab world, the Arab immigrants in Detroit have transformed areas throughout the city into replicas of the Arab countries from where they came.

From the time of my youth, growing up on the prairies in western Canada, I often listened to my elders discussing the Arab community in Detroit. A number had traveled there to work after emigrating to the US., then left for the Midwest to look for greener pastures. In the Dakotas and Montana, they had heard that the Canadian government was giving 160 acres free to anyone willing to work the land. They therefore traveled north to southern Saskatchewan where they became farmers.

Today, my first Arab vision of Detroit has become greatly enhanced. The Arab population of the city, according to Warren David, a third-generation Arab American who is a board member of the Arab American Arts Council, is some 200,000, consisting of four large groups: Syrian and Lebanese – 100,000; Iraqi-Chaldean – 60,000; Palestinian and Jordanian – 25,000; Yemeni – 10,000; and 5,000 from other Arab countries. However, a good number of Arab Detroiters dispute these figures, saying that the total number of Arabs in the Detroit area is more than 300,000.

are people no longer free to pick who they want to vote for? Why should anyone need an "excuse" not to vote for Obama? Surely its not by force?

i just finished reading Obsessed by Ted Dekker, very interesting.
francine river's mark of the lion's series is also very interesting; A voice in the Wind, Echo in the darkness and As sure as the dawn.
Scarlett Thread by Francine Rivers too is interesting.
Francine Rivers is one of the best.


Her Mark of the Lion series is a classic. Just too good. cheesy cheesy

I intend to check out most of her other books. I read Redeeming Love as well, and it was so moving.


I havent tried Ted Dekker yet, but may do so one of these days.
LiteratureRe: Some Interesting Books You Have Read by tpia: 5:42am On Jun 19, 2008
futuristic/apocalyptic books almost always tend to be quite memorable, if written by a good author.

eg The Shadow Children sequence by Margaret Haddix.  Scary but enjoyable. Has seven books in the series.

Books of Ember  by Jeanne Duprau.  Fantastic- especially the first two. Three books so far. The other ones are forthcoming.




Percy Jackson and the Olympians (series). Fantasy- battle between good and evil, with all kinds of monsters thrown in. Very exciting reading though classified as young adult. I've read the first three, still looking for the fourth one, and meanwhile the fifth book is in production. Also scary but in a different way.



The Far Pavilions by M M Kaye is unforgettable, I think. Likewise Trade Wind by the same author.

okay. Your explanation makes sense.

However, there are many Nigerian guys who have been dealt with by their partners- whether American, Nigerian or European.


Only thing is the Naija ladies are expected to endure a lot more and as such get labelled negatively when they refuse to do so. They are called names and accused of being westernized. Doubtless some Naija women abuse the system in order to get the man in trouble, but still.
