Gabe - what is Illawarra? Is it like our hurricanes or tornadoes? : The Illawarra is an area of New South Wales that covers an area near the coast that would be like Long Island NY in size.

Another little bitey we have to dodge. They love letter boxes, bins and wood piles. We once had a large nest take up residence in the power box right outside the back door. We stopped counting after 150!! You see a LOT of red when they are in army proportions.

I'm posting 10 mins after DB and it is nearly 10pm here. The end of Tues 4th. Spring is swooshing in so all is right.

Heres hoping you don't get the weather we had the last couple of days. Trees down all across the city, rain, hail and electricity out in most suburbs . . . it has been FREEZING now for weeks. The wind is straight off the South Pole and I am sure I saw bits of penguin feathers flying past me in the gusty sonditions.

The quake story is very disappointing to hear. It is not a good idea to name countries like this who don't appear in the year book listing and ask if the brothers are OK. I have met refugees from places where activity is banned and they are fearful of governmental risks if they are discovered. Their fear is real. Debating and enquiring shows up on Google searches for such gov'mts to see. If anyone knows anything truthful about the situation they will/should not post it here.

So this topic sinks to new lows. How disappointing to see Moderators use a sad event to make light of a renowned tragedy. When signing up to join here, we are put through a raft of Qu’s and told we need to be truthful about our application. Good start. BUT what happens if/when a member with a Christian conscience states an opinion that is based on the Bible? Top ranking members call them ‘silly’ and replace honest observations with the IMO which substitutes as good advice for unscriptural sidestepping and excuse making for walking fine lines of behaviour. Then other members ‘Quote’ them in cheers of well done. Comments just above this, show a Moderator display two links to his neighbourhood gun store!!! What is that about? NEWS is the most Publicly visible area and email alerts invite people here each day. Admin Bob posted in the News header that News had to be of a quality and structure that would be suitable to email interested people (Witness & worldly) who visit here to read the posted subjects. What they get when they arrive here is a view of a Witness moderated board that has members who post pro-gun propaganda and instead of violence being abhorrent it is OK if you watch it in a theatre or in private at home. That is not what our magazines will be saying as we deliver them in coming months. One pays money for things they like so a movie ticket is a way of saying ‘I like it’. Suggestion: Tell new signees the real truth when they apply . .put the NRA logo up where it can be seen alongside the JWT logo. They won’t waste their time if they are given the real choice. If this opinion shocks you . . look up to the top of this page and see if the links to a Gunshop has the same effect. . . it should. ;)

Gun Approvals Increase in Colorado News headlines today should make every movie goer shiver. You will all be sitting in cinemas now with very nervous patrons, all packing heat and making sure they can defend themselves. Popcorn and drinks are now second priority to self protection. Nobody will be able to say they didn't see this coming.

Actually, . . Heath died after the film Dark Knight finished filming. It was in editing as he died. The film that was compromised by his death was The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.

Gun Cache Discovered_Boston stands warned A Maine man pulled over for speeding early yesterday morning told cops he brought a loaded gun into a showing of the new “Batman” flick and had a car full of weapons and press clippings from the Colorado movie massacre, authorities report. Maine State Police say after they arrested Timothy Courtois, 49, around 10 a.m. yesterday morning, they found even more firearms at his Biddeford home, including a machine gun, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. After police stopped his Mustang on the southbound side of the Maine Turnpike, he told them he was heading to Derry, N.H., to shoot his “former employer,” authorities said. He also admitted to hiding a loaded gun in his backpack during a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” at a Saco Maine, theater the night before, police said. Inside his car, which police clocked at 112 mph, troopers found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns and several boxes of ammunition, police said. “We don’t know truly what his intentions were,” said Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland. The startling discovery came just two days after police say a deranged gunman burst into an suburban Denver cinema and opened fire, killing 12 people and injuring 58 others in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. History. Courtois was held on $50,000 cash bail following his arraignment today at Maine’s Springvale District Court on initial charges of having a concealed weapon and criminal speed, police said. The York County District Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland is reviewing the case to see if additional federal charges will be lodged against Courtois.

Of course I am serious. An accident or mass shooting in a public place is always tragic. (and different than this event) I said nowhere that the victims 'deserved' to be shot. You are misreading. Of course they did not deserve this disaster. But I stand by my view that if we as Christians frequent places where violence is worshipped or movies that desensitise us to gunfire, mass destruction and 'good V's evil' and the ends justifies any means . . then the risks become much higher. It has been revealed that he was an avid 'gamer' . . those people become obsessed with violence but he was less likely to make his same 'mark' at the launch of Toy Story or Ice Age. I have faced two guns aimed at me in anger in field service . . I too have lost dear friends suddenly in tragic circumstances and it is those experiences that has taught me and mine that we can choose to stay right away from anything that promotes violence, especially for entertainment. We cannot stay away from local malls, schools or streets. I am too, married to my husband today after his current girlfriend was missing when I met him. She was found 2 years later as the victim of a mass murderer who used porn to desensitise himself to human dignity. He thought it was just entertainment . .his victims saw it differently. Truro Murders Australia When I saw the promo for this movie a couple of months ago . .hubby did not even look me in the eye as he said . .that's a no-no. The weaponry and violence was obvious. Our CO visit had just caused the CO to warn ALL elders and servants about what they watch for entertainment and they must set the lead in such spiritual matters. Hubby took that seriously . . as did I. I am probably an idiot in your eyes but I don't care. I read Psalm 11:2 about Jehovahs view of violence and those who love it. That scripture is as important to me as Psalm 37:9-11 and Matthew 24:14. That is my conscience . .and it lests me sleep at night. Chow people.

The sad thing is that you really believe that. That is your opinion . . . . but it is not Jehovahs. For every ticket sold to block buster violent movies, Hollywood will make another . . and another. That idiot would have aimed his guns somewhere else sometime . . but his choice on this occasion was motivated by making his splash at a movie where the patrons would have been involved in the screen as he started . . making their decision-making process scrambled. Reality or not? It took precious seconds for them to decide they were in danger. Psalm 11:5 is exact . . Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, And anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates. It does say 'anyone loving violence' . . . not 'doing violence'. Jehovah is examining hearts right now . . today! . . He did so in 1st century as his faithful people died in arenas with wild animals and thousands watched on. What do you think his searching found then? . . You are a braver man than me Gungadin.

Very funny and very true. Loved the 'what's eggs got to do with Jesus? . . OK, we'll hide 'em.' as if that helps.

Pulling that trailer now is a case of "too little, too late" Now a major tool the FBI and Police will be using to solve mass killings is the. IMDb site.
