KOWABUNGA dudes !!!!!! SURFS UP !! No wait ..... it isn't ...... 23cm is not much at all really. Might have to get the jetski out of the shed and do some tow ins !!
This sort of rubbish isn't as innocuous as most think.
People sell homes,up root families,quit jobs, and destroy relationships all due to some nut case who's ego is so large and deluded he thinks he is the voice of God to the human race.
Frankly its extremist religion ---- extremist under the guise of Christianity.
Well said, Tech/a
Sadly, some people do become very sucked in to the point of detriment to themselves.
If WB's enlightenment came from gambling, something doesn't add up.. God and gambling both start with "g" but that's about the only thing they have in common - IMO of course!...
Who does Jesus think he is, Michael Tuck?

Where is it? Come on now, it's in The Bible.
MARK 10:21
And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow me.
Never fear ... Moses is here ! BTW ... where is Weatherbill? Back at the Texas hold 'em table shuffling the deck?
Numbers 15:32-36 (King James Version)
32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
How does one interpret this then malachii ? Literally or metaphorically?
I and a group of others met John Nash---we realized he was delusional when he was asked.
But in a very strong religious Italian community I know there were many who sold up esplanade property at way below retail in fear!
G'day Trainspotter,
I'm not sure how you want me to answer this. I think your having a go at my faith because you find this action reprehensible and to be honest so do I. But I'm not here to defend individual passages or for that matter God Himself.
Theologians, scholars and great minds have debated these points for generations and still haven't come up with answers. There are many questions that I have that I cannot find answers for. Does this impact my faith? Definitely. Does it make me doubt? Everyday! Does it mean that I walk away from my faith. No. I think I would have more trouble believing in God if I did understand it all. I mean how can a finite mind understand the infinite? I understand how an aircraft flies but show it to someone who doesn't and they have to either have faith that it will or refuse to believe. Whether the person refuses to have faith or refuses to believe doesn't change the basic fact of the aircraft's existence or its ability to fly. I guess what I'm trying to say is some days you just have to go on faith. You cant explain it. People will think you are crazy but that's OK.
I don't think I have answered your question. I'm not really sure you wanted an answer as much as you were trying to point to the "unfathomableness"(???) of the Christian faith and maybe the injustice of a God who is meant to be just. Either way - I'm not sure anyone would be able to answer it to your satisfaction, certainly not me. But maybe you could take away that while all us Christians are a little crazy - maybe somedays you just gotta have a little faith.

Religious delusions are common amongst schizophrenics
haha..did you snap any up?
bit of a tsunami on the stockmarket since the 10th
Sails
Back when I was 20 (36 yrs ago) A god fearing guy by the name of John Nash was in Adelaide predicting a tsunami to hit and destroy Adelaide on the 6Th of January of that year along with an entourage.
It was so well publicized that the then Premier Don Dunstan on the 6th of January walked to the end of the jetty to hail the tsunami.
I and a group of others met John Nash---we realized he was delusional when he was asked.
"How do you know Adelaide is wiped out by a tsunami?"
His reply.
"Because God showed me in a dream the front page of the "Advertiser"
showing the massive devastation and the date of that front page was 6/1"---(I cant remember the exact year.)
After a great deal of hushed whispering around the group we all set off to the pub for a few rounds.100% confident nothing was going to happen.
Can you pick it?

Different year different nutter and same repetitious theme.
in all sincerity, this is a 22 month long experiement in seeing if God still answers prayer thru the casting of lots.
Sometimes, the lot can be misinterpreted, which I beleive is the case here.
Two days in a row, I had cast lots thru prayer and the shuffle of a deck of cards and pick off the top of the deck.
Both of those days, the cards came up 8-2-8-Queen.
I thought getting the 8-2-8-Q two days in a row was incredible odds.
To me it is evidence that God is in it, but at the time I could'nt conclude anything concrete from it, accept that maybe it meant the 28th of August,
8/28 and I just wrote off the queen, as though it didn't mean anything. In that same lot cast, I had picked others and vertically, the cards were 8-10-10, so it had me thinking with the other lots cast later showing 8/9-10/10, that is would occur on the 9th/10th, but going back and re-assessing this, my original prayer was, show me the month and year, but it may have been that God was wanting to show me the month and day, becaue I already knew the year and thus, the 8 for august and then the 2+8+Q (12)= 22nd day of August, so I may have misinterpreted all of this.
All the other lots cast were showing me the 8 first or adding to the 8 always, and then the others were showing me th e9th or the 10th, but with 8-10-10 it could mean to add the 10+10 for the 20th.
Its pure speculation at this point, but th eodds of me pulling up the 8-2-8-Q , 2 days in a row had me hooked, so someone from the relm of the Spirit was giving me this.
This is one reason I am convince this still hits august. What would you guy conclude, if after praying to be shown when this would hit, you get 4 of the same cards in a row, 2 days in a row after random shuffle....
do you see my dilema?????
