Shows wot I know.

The animal rights people don't do themselves any favours with all this
off-topic posting here (in my opinion).

Then you clearly miss the point.

The mixture of facts and
misinformation zealously shoved in peoples faces is just a turn off for
their message.

Try google for information on all animal rights, it's like a free
library right at your fingertips. Then you'll see the point of
newsgroup announcements.

Like the people who thrust leaflets in your hand when walking
along the street. They just get stuffed into the next litter bin.
I generally skip any such posting in the group. They don't even irritate me
anymore - they are just part of the ignored background noise, along with all
the bitching and infighting that goes on here.

Must be great being stuck so far up your own arse all you can hear is
the occasional fart!

Avoid the rush at the last judgement. Be converted now instead!


PRAYER FOR A NATION


When Pastor Joe Wright, of Central Christian Church, was asked
to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting
the usual politically correct generalities.
But what they heard instead was this:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
‘Woe on those who call evil good,’ but that’s exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.

We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;

We have, worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism;

We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;

We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;

We have killed our unborn and called it choice;

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;

We have abused power and called it political savvy;

We have coveted our neighbour’s possessions and called it ambition;

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression;

We have ridiculed the time-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, 0 God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have
been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state.

Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the centre of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
