  1. Back on topic... When viewed through the lens of illicit drugs... Stoned High Buzzed Roofie Joint
  2. Um, no. Their intelligence level itself was not the sin they committed. But that would make an interesting separate topic.
  3. Don't know who you are referring to. Yes, children will need to be literate. In Satan's world, education won't be like it is now where the government providing the bare minimum or basic level, and only some people choosing to pay extra to receive a little more, a little extra, advanced, higher, or continuing education. In the new system education won't be limited to only a select few who choose to pay more to learn more than the basic level provided by the government. Our government, God's Kingdom, will provide unlimited education to everyone for free. My point is we will never stop learning. Even as adults we will continue to be instructed. And, since we will live forever, we will be taught forever. There won't be anything extra or higher or advanced because all of us will continue to learn for eternity. But enough sidetracking. Let's get back to the game. Words (or terms) that will be obsolete in the new system... Teacher's pet Truancy Illiterate
  4. We love you and appreciate your candor. We all are continuing to grow together. We just cannot tell how forcefully you hit the logout button 😉
  5. It's this lack of care that causes concern. Tell me, what do you think is the principle behind Paul's words regarding meat? (Romans 14:15) 15 For if your brother is being offended because of food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not by your food ruin that one for whom Christ died. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=45014015&srcid=share (Romans 14:20-23) 20 Stop tearing down the work of God just for the sake of food. True, all things are clean, but it is detrimental for a man to eat when it will cause stumbling. 21 It is best not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything over which your brother stumbles.+ 22 The faith that you have, keep it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who does not judge himself by what he approves. 23 But if he has doubts, he is already condemned if he eats, because he does not eat based on faith. Indeed, everything that is not based on faith is sin https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=45014020&srcid=share (1 Corinthians 8:13) 13 That is why if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat at all, so that I will not make my brother stumble. https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&pub=nwtsty&srctype=wol&bible=46008013&srcid=share
  6. Yes, I apologize for coming across rude or poor manners So it's more than 4 and almost 8 years old?
  7. https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/funeral-potatoes/ These easy and delicious Funeral Potatoes (also called cheesy potatoes) are a cheesy hash brown casserole that makes the perfect warm side dish for any meal, holiday dinner, or potluck.
  8. Did you overlook where the article also mentioned Idaho? I wasn't planning on listing every state or municipality. I was only showing some places are restricting the LGBT flag from government buildings.
  9. To be fair, though, the kid is from Utah where 8 out of 10 people are LDS (Mormon) and the other 2 are former members. I joke, but only a little. The percentage of Mormons in Utah is a subject of debate, with estimates varying by method: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) reports about 64% membership, but a 2023 study found only 42% of Utahns self-identify as members, indicating a significant portion are inactive or have left the faith. Factors contributing to this decline include an influx of non-Mormon residents, increasing secularization, and lower retention rates for young people.
  10. Buddy of mine was home schooled due to health reasons. This was back in the late 80s early 90s, so before internet. His mom had no role in the home schooling except as task master. He literally did no school work for a year and still graduated on time. That's 4 years of high school in 3 years. And that was back in the stone age.
  11. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/utah-bans-lgbtq-pride-flags-on-government-buildings-rcna198716 Utah becomes first state to ban LGBTQ+ pride flags in government buildings and schools Utah’s flag law goes further than one signed last week in Idaho that only applies to schools.
