  1. Thoughts:- "I'd rather live my life with God and find out in the end there isnt, than live my life without God and find out in the end there is". "It doesnt cost and arm and a leg to give your heart to God with love, and you'll never be the same again" Thats not my promise but God's. What sort of a lfe lost in a wilderness do those live without at least some sort of god to guide them? A very good teacher appeared about 2000 years ago, probably the best, "to show us the way", and who would follow their own ways in preference to His? who else sets a standard for our life? well the choice is ours to go astray by not following Him, as surely is happening at every level in society AGAIN. Unfortunately, man made religions generally have caused so much division between and within:- Nations, Families and Religions. We've all heard :-"If all else fails read the instruction manual". So how about the "instruction manual for life", especially part 2? Billions have chosen it, so until something better comes along, watch that space and in the mean time live and let live.
  2. The most basic thoughts could be:- how beautiful is this "blue marble" planet, "what a wonderful world" sang Louis Armstrong, "they're only saying I love you", if everything was reduced to just one word it surely would be "love", and perhaps whatever God is, is a showoff for us to love and appreciate this one-off planet that was somehow made, we could all appreciate being here, all our needs are provided yet man has fought wars and also continued futile arguements on this forum. A simplistic view yes, and perhaps worth thinking also about that old saying:- "I shall pass through this world but once, if there be any kindness I can show or any goodness I can do , let me not tarry, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again". Coud aligning with some of the above musings sow a seed and lift the value of some lives into living loving caring and sharing? and it it is free.
  3. Gravity, air, electricity in wires, love, and many other things we cant see but can believe in. Food for thought? Without the "word of God" in the commonly referred-to book "the instruction manual for life" part 2 in particular, and other books that encourage us to a worthy life, where would the world be? Things were bad enough 2000 years ago, (as are again now,) when just one worthy "golden rule" surfaced:- "Do unto others as you would have them do to unto you" could make a difference again on this beautiful "blue marble planet". The mind boggles about:- the miracle of our conception, birth, body, brain power, being just the right distance from the sun not to fry or freeze etc etc etc. The incredible creator is not a "he" but if we are to believe in something invisible and good to daily give thanks to, well so be it. Each to their own, and yet feeling compassion for those in this forum filled with anger and hatred. Mmmm... "love makes the world go round" is not very scientific but worthy of imagination and fullfillment?
  4. This topic is just about dead but one thing wasnt mentioned much, except Jak reminded JingThing:- "I can only guess it's because you believe you are from Jewish race of people. But I don't think genetically there is a Jewish race...like there is African, Asian, etc." On my pilgrimage to Israel, the splendidly dressed, tall, back, lovely, Ethiopian Jews stood out, graciously walking the paths where other nationalities of the Jewish faith also walked. "The Earth is but one country" from the Bahai faith. Just threw that in to think about.
  5. I grew up in a neighbourhood with about 0.01% Russians of "Jewish faith", associated with them quite a lot, ate their special foods, celebrated occasional Friday night candle-lit dinners with yamalka (keipe) on my head and found them to be lovely people. Visited the Holy Land, was immersed in the River Jordan, walked where Jesus walked, put a small really lovely note in the Western wall for a Jewish friend, and found them also to be lovely people. Many Messianic Jews have seen "the light", mostly not so, but leave them all be, and know there's a cross section of good and bad every where. Reading between the lines, GammaGlobulin seems a decent person not appreciated by some in this forum and has bought them out of the woods with their hatred. As Ezzra said:- Dear Gamma,There's a place and time to bring certain topics up, now it's not a good time to post anything about Jews/Israel etc. Amen to that, yet there's an inescapable ongoing reality. RandiRona mentioned awards. Oh yes, some of the most clever inventions have come from Israel.
  6. Mmmm looks such a friendly big fellow and proud to be shown off as a "traffic stopper". Will this put a whole new meaning to the yellow cloaked sector about the expression "Holy Cow"? Just joking.
  7. Obesrvation:- This is the third similar debate in Asean Now and the Anti P.B. team have already "won" the latest round, but sadly, two victims have again "lost" out. What if the next victim is a small child? Oh please no.😭 Three more days of hostile debate here wont help the latest or future victims world wide.
  8. No worries, actually thought it was quite a rstrained response, particularly in respect to my unwarranted jibe about your age. Have a good day. Guys...There are so many "snakey" comments in Asean Now, and that was very heartening from you both. Made my day thankyou. Thankyou.🙏
  9. Thanks. I'll look for the commercial source.
  10. Age old storey hey.. erring on the side of caution and all snakes are judged guilty of being dangerous until identified and proven as innocent. So many varieties and so many inexperienced people. No wonder so many harmless snakes are killed. Vetinary grade Injectable vitamin C is becoming wider known for animals being bitten. Intramuscular and subcutaneous. It work for Aus brown snake bites but maybe best to get followup vet treatment within 6? hours.
  11. Interested in why the plastic water pipe and nylon didnt work well please? Was it a noose bend in the rope down at the end and you pulled up on the other end? if so I've made on and not used it yet.
  12. By the way, did you hear the one about a snake that got into the exhaust pipe of a car and ended up coming out the air cleaner in the engine bay. ! 😲 Yup. True blue Aussie story mate. 😉 Just threw that in to lighten up a bit.
  13. Great enterprising idea but someone beat you to it because did you hear they now require a substantial deposit for such nice rooms ? 😉
  14. oh yes. also maybe Paranoid Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder. Sooo nice then sooo nasty.
  15. This scenario was "done to death" (oops sorry) several weeks ago in Thaiand. I think the anti-Pits won the debate.
