    The Baseless and Inaccurate Attacks on an Algerian Female Boxer

    I just feel so very,very sorry for this young woman. This should / could have been the most exciting time of her life. Instead, although she has done nothing wrong, it has probably become her nightmare. I can see that there are issues here that people feel are very important but surely it could...

    Not personally but considering how often it is used in spiritual descriptions as well as its relevance to life, light comes to mind.

    There are too many people who think they are smart in the world an that is why we are divided and in trouble.

    No Who knows? I found the double use of "I" in your opening sentences more than a little off putting.

    volunteering as a telephone befriender?

    Yes, I was with the Samaritans for about 4-5 years. It is incredibly rewarding at times but it can be very tough going. In the end I had a serious dose of burn out and never went back. A bonus point was that amongst the other volunteers I found some truly wonderful people.

    "A Complete Unknown" — Upcoming Movie About Bob Dylan

    Yes true. I had a friend who was there. He was disgusted by their behaviour and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the show.

    A First Journal Post and I Hope the Last

    I went out today, telling my self that it was for lunch. It is now past 9 pm and I have not eaten since getting up around 12 hours ago, so much for lunch. In truth, I went out to avoid seeing and hearing the assorted scum who once again have invaded my street and feel entitled to take over...

    Possession

    I have not thankfully but I may have had an encounter. I was staying in a big old house while involved in a week of voluntary work. I had been there before and had nothing but good memories. One night I awoke suddenly and in considerable fear. The only way I can describe it was a feeling that...

    Welcome to the class system. Its considered by many to exist solely as a basis of exploitation.

    What would happen if everyone was rich and popular ?

    Wow, how did you manage to read so much into a very simple sentence? Furthermore, how did you come to the conclusion that those people were "popular and known"? Sorry @Valjean I normally like your posts but there is more than a whiff of BS in this one.

    What would happen if everyone was rich and popular ?

    Where do you think (assuming that you do) that the riches come from? And why has this never happened? Come on, it is not difficult.

    What religious experiences have you had?

    It is something that I have not discussed much. I do recall one person saying that they believed that it was due to the presence of nature spirits. Not quite the Green Man, but along those lines.

    What religious experiences have you had?

    This reminded me of an experience about twenty -thirty years ago. I had either a very brief dream 1 or 2 seconds or perhaps only retain that fraction. I was standing close to something like a sports stadium the occupants of the seats were all young women wearing white single garment. They were...

    Was jesus disabled

    This is very interesting. I am not a Christian and certainly do not believe in the resurrection. I am thinking though that his problems may have been emotional rather than physical. We know nothing of his missing years, perhaps he suffered terribly such as losing his wife and children. Many...

    Just realized I've been praying to a framed picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi instead of Saint Francis. How do I fix this?

    There is either a real St Francis out there somewhere or there is not. What you have been praying to is entirely unimportant unless you are into Idolatry.

    Why Do White Nationalists Hate Jews And Blame Them For Everything Bad ?

    Well the first four that came to mind were an ex boxer, a salesman in a shoe shop a pub barman and a photographer. I suggest you do some real learning before entering such conversations you are starting to look less than bright.
