Thank you.

May the Lord have mercy upon your boyfriend, lay his healing hand upon him, and restore him to full health and strength. In the name of Jesus, I pray! Amen!

Maybe one day I will be back, but I can't do this anymore. I don't for the life of me, understand why God kicks people when they're down. At their lowest, and he still piles it on. Life is not meant to be perfect, but where is He when people need him? Nowhere.

May God bless you in his love and take away all your anxiety and troubles. In his holy name, I pray. Amen!

In a literal definition, sure. But in a legal sense, that's a necessary part - otherwise we'd be dropping the full force of the US military on every teenager.

Once again you are being disingenuous. No one here is taking about tee n s rebelling against their parents. We are taking about rebellion against the government and using violence to do it.

As was I. The core of what you said is that ICE can't do everything that it wants to do. That doesn't mean that they're prevented from enforcing the law though.

Ues you were CLEARLY and purposefully misrepresenting what I said. The core is that people ARE preventing them from doing their jobs in certain areas. And falls under title.

Yes. In the Netherlands. Afrikkans is also very similar to Dutch and spoken in some African countries such as South Africa IIRC.

If my measure is how much harm the sin does to the other person, then there are probably forms of torture, maiming, etc., that are worse than murder.

(But I'm going to get nightmares if I meditate on that too long, so I think I'll stop now.)

Absolutely! That isn't comparable to swearing or telling white lies IMO.

Egypt Awards Trump Highest State Honour ‘Collar of the Nile’​

President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi will award the Collar of the Nile, Egypt’s highest state honour, to U.S. President Donald Trump for what the Egyptian presidency described as his “significant contributions to promoting peace, resolving conflicts, and his pivotal role in ending the war in Gaza,” the presidency’s spokesperson said today.

The announcement comes as Sharm El-Sheikh prepares to host over 20 heads of state and prime ministers for the Summit for Peace, co-chaired by Al-Sisi and Trump. The Red Sea city has once again become a focal point for international diplomacy, following the Gaza ceasefire that took effect on Friday after four days of intense negotiations between Israeli and Hamas delegations.

The Collar of the Nile, sometimes referred to as the Order of the Nile, is Egypt’s most prestigious decoration, symbolizing the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt through the life-giving Nile River. Made of gold and adorned with Pharaonic motifs and precious stones, it is traditionally awarded by presidential decree to heads of state and figures whose efforts have offered exceptional service to Egypt or humanity.

He got his due process when the court found him to be deportable. The government just deported him to the wrong place by mistake. If he had been deported somewhere else it wouldnt have been an issue.

No there aren't.

- It has happened....there are numerous accounts of U.S. Citizens being detained based on their appearance.

Click to expand...

No it hasn't happened the way you claim. They were detained because they were with illegals when a legal raid occurred. The government isnt wandering around and just randomly grabbing brown people. Legal operations occur and if you happen to be with with illegals then you might get snatched up. Its no different than if you happen to be with drug dealers when a legal raid occurs, but you arent actually involved with them. You would get picked up and it would get sorted out.

wing2000 said:

This is America. Or do you think citizens who look and sound a certain way should "have to show their papers" to avoid detention?

Click to expand...

Yes it is. And citizens aren't being detained randomly just because they are brown.

Thats not illegal. It was a legal act under a revocation of a visa.

Domestic extremist organization": On August 25, 2025, Miller went on Fox News to declare, "The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization".

He's correct. It is being taken over by extremists. But he didnt call the party a terrorist organization.

wing2000 said:

Vast domestic terror movement": After the September 2025 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Miller described left-wing political groups as a "vast domestic terror movement". He said the Trump administration would use every resource to "identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks".

There absolutely are left wing political groups that are fomenting unrest and violence. Theses networks need to be rooted out and ruined. Im glad they are focused on it and trying to stop i t before more people are killed or more attempts at killing are made.

Chicago protests: In October 2025, Miller labeled protests against federal agents in Chicago as "domestic terrorism and seditious insurrection". He has accused Democrats of siding with "gangbangers," "predators," and "domestic terrorists".

Tgey absolutely are involved in domestic terrorism. When you are ramming agents vehicles that's a deadly force issue. When you are sounding and attacking agents thats seditious insurrection. And when Democrats defend their actions they are siding with them. We have Democrats on this board who have done so

wing2000 said:

Official actions: Following these statements, Miller was put in charge of coordinating a federal campaign to prosecute "domestic terrorist organizations".

Click to expand...

I'm glad he was. This has to stop. Its gone far beyond peaceful protests. They are shooting at agents, ramming their vehicles, throwing rocks at them. Attacking the buildings they are in, thats domestic terrorism. Its not peaceful protest. And much of this is being fomented by organizations who pay people to agitate to create these things.
You may not like the laws. But they have been in place for a very long time and SCOTUS has ruled them constitutional. If you dont like them you may peacefully protest them and petition the government to change them. But that's not what has occurred in Chicago and Portland and other places around the country.

Do Catholic schools teach theistic evolution in their science curriculum?
I was talking to a woman yesterday who goes to and used to work at, the LCMS church I belonged to, about their believe in a young earth and refusal to accept evolution. She said that even Catholics teach the same as the LCMS does. I told her she was wrong and that, as a matter of fact, Catholic schools teach theistic evolution in their science classes. Now I’m wondering if I was correct or not.

Click to expand...

I went to a Catholic college, although I didn't take science courses there, I know for a fact they taught evolution in their science courses. Also, the RCC does indeed accept theistic evolution and the Big Bang. We are very pro-science.

My Christian experience evolved in three denominational schools of thought

1. GARBC Baptist
2. Free Will Baptist
3. Pentecostal Holiness

No regrets. And I of heart do not think one denomination is better than the other. Most Pentecostal Holiness preachers I know will go on to get Masters Degrees at places like Liberty University. The preaching sounds exactly the same as it did GARBC Baptist.

When I was a teenager I read the book 2150 by Thea Alexander where she theorizes the height of what she calls Macro Philosophy.

Macro Society - The place at its height
Micro Society - The place at its lowest

In looking at the book below it shows what was thought to have been an advanced man and woman of the future. I thought at the time that the futuristic look would be of people in their tunics and looking like citizens of the Roman Empire. What has amazed me is that there is no “advanced” look to people these days. They all look like the did in Noah’s time. And it is clear to me that society will not last until 2150AD. I believe in that year we will be into the millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ

Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica and vicar general of the pope for Vatican City, presided Oct. 13 over a penitential rite of reparation at the main altar of the church following a serious act of desecration that had taken place on Oct. 10.

After a penitential procession that began at 12:45 p.m. local time, Gambetti sprinkled the altar with holy water and incensed it to purify it.

The rite, attended by members of the chapter of the Vatican basilica, emphasized asking God for “forgiveness” for the desecration, Father Enzo Fortunato, director of communications for St. Peter’s Basilica, told ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner.

On Friday, Oct. 10, a man whose identity has not been revealed was arrested by security guards after he climbed onto the Altar of the Confession, located under Bernini’s baldachin, and urinated on it while tourists looked on in astonishment.

Ugh

The Great Promises of God to His People:
Ezekiel 28:25-26 The Lord God says: When I gather the House of Israel from the nations among whom they are now scattered and I have been reverenced by them, as the nations will see, then they will live in their heritage, all of the Holy Land that I promised to My servant Jacob.

They will have security there, building houses and planting vineyards, yes, they will dwell in confidence and safety, when I have executed My judgements upon all their contemptuous neighbours. They will no longer have to fear any threats from ungodly peoples around them and they will know that I am the Lord their God. KJV, CJB, REB.

This short prophecy encapsulates the truth of what every righteous Christian can expect for their future. Sadly, not many can see this future, because of beliefs in false teachings and inability to discern the prophesies correctly.

We know from New Testament teaching that Christian peoples now belong to the House of Israel, whether they are true descendants of Jacob or not. But in order for God’s promises to the Patriarchs to be fulfilled, the majority, now ‘scattered among the nations’, WILL, in fact, be their descendants. Only God knows who and where they all are. Amos 9:9

All of the Lord’s righteous Christian peoples will be gathered soon after ‘a Day of cloud and darkness’, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Ezekiel 20:34-38. That will be the many prophesied and well described - ‘Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath’, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster of fire from the sun, Malachi 4:1, 2 Peter 3:7, that will destroy His enemies, Isaiah 66:15-17 and enable God’s plan for His people to ‘display His glory for all the nations to see’, Ezekiel 39:27, to be fulfilled. Proving that all this will happen before the Return of Jesus for His Millennium reign.

The people of the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, having passed through the ‘great ordeal’ of the Day of wrath, Luke 21:35, Revelation 7:1-14, will select their own leaders, Jeremiah 30:21, Hosea 1:11, they will build a new Temple, Zechariah 6:15, Haggai 2:6-9, they will send out 144,000 missionaries to proclaim the coming Kingdom of Jesus, and after all that is prophesied before the Return takes place, it is them who say: ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord’!

Prices for many prescription drugs would drop significantly under an agreement announced Tuesday by the Trump administration and drugmaker Pfizer.

"As you know, the United States is paying sometimes 10 times more than other countries for drugs, and a lot of excuses were made for that for many years," President Trump said during a press conference in the Oval Office. "And it's not going on any longer. We're going to be paying the lowest price now."

• Direct access for patients to lower-priced drugs. This will come through the soon-to-be-launched TrumpRx.gov website. "This is bypassing middlemen," he said. "It increases transparency. In many instances, prices are 80% lower than they are today. No more Canadian detours to purchase drugs more inexpensively at our neighbor. You do it from home."
• Lower prices for Medicaid enrollees. "Pfizer will be [making] virtually all of its portfolio of drugs at [most favored nation] prices available to Medicaid in the near future," said Klomp. "This safeguards the program. This ensures that this program lives as a lifeline without undue burden on the taxpayer -- for those who need it most, for our vulnerable Americans, whom we are charged morally to care for."
• "Future-proofing" fairness. "This is the idea that Pfizer has committed, as are other manufacturers, that they will not launch a new drug for commercial, Medicare, Medicaid, or cash pay markets at a price that is higher" than that charged to other wealthy nations, he said, emphasizing that "They are free to price their drugs wherever they want. These are not price caps. These are not price controls. They can price however they'd like. We're simply asking them, and they are committing, not to undercut us in other countries."
• Shared savings. "As [the U.S.] succeeds in encouraging other countries to pay more for existing medications, a portion of that will go to fund additional [research and development], and a portion of that will repatriate back to the United States to offset prices, to lower prices further for Americans on those existing drugs," Klomp explained.
• More onshoring of manufacturing. Pfizer has committed "to onshore 100% of the value of all imports that it currently imports to the United States," he said.
