You know, the surest way out of a black hole is to find an EXIT sign. They're not always clearly marked but they're there... The trick is not to be so tired or blurry eyed that you can't see them because your eyes are too narrow to let in any form of light.
Black holes can come in many forms too.... There's the ones that suck us in obviously; they're a given. But then there's the ones that we convince outselves we're sucked in to but actually we're hiding down there and closing our eyes so nothing gets in except ourselves and the thoughts we perceive. It's hard to be particularly perceptive when you blind yourself to any form of light and refuse the use of a torch offered by a friend. A torch that might help you see the EXIT sign... or at least the sign pointing in that general direction.
Just in case we've got any voyuers around the place who were interested in... erm... torches.

You're very welcome, Starman. I so admired your responses to the torture thing. You did make me laugh - in a sort of deliciously wicked way. And then through the fog that was clearly (or not!) total miscomprehension, you pop back with 'I'll try harder'. Haaaaaa! (Oops, I'm laughing as I type!).
Oi Luna, not so much of the wonky! Yep, that's right. The foot's not so much of the wonky now. Still wonky, but better than it was.
Did I ever tell you all that my wonky foot wasn't sprained in the first place?. And did you want to know that? No, I suppose not, but I'll tell you anyway. Mmm... 6 months of hobbling and crutches, only to discover that the injury had been misdiagnosed! Not a sprain at all. Ha! (Not funny really).
Well, I'm limping off to bed now, so night everyone. x

Naomi, Same old story. Having been accused of the crime I might just feel compelled to make an honest man of my accuser.
Speaking of torture, I've heard the fairer sex has a greater tolerance for pain but would it have killed them to take an x-ray 6 months ago? We could use more 'doctors' like that in Afghanistan . . .

Could it be that a miracle is about to unfold before our very eyes? With him? No chance!
Yes ..... x-rays .... wonderful things ...... but they cost money so try telling the NHS that. You see, Starman, some of my biggest mistakes in life have been as a result of believing the 'experts'. Haven't you ever wondered why I was once a Christian? Obvious. I believed the �experts�. Big mistake, and it was not until I began to mistrust them, that I finally saw the light. Same with the wonky foot really. I believed the �expert�, until a swift kick in the nether regions from a very dear, but rather bossy and insistent friend, sent me on a hobbly trip to see a very nice man who pushed, prodded and poked (and all for a very reasonable price - and he didn't even chip the nail polish!), the result of which revealed that the tootsie wasn't sprained at all, but was suffering from a condition called Plantar Fasciitis, brought about, apparently, by a surfeit of exercise. Well, that's what he said, but it's my sincere belief that since said injury occurred during the course of a long haul up Jerusalem�s Mount Zion, that the real cause was a thunderbolt aimed with divinely perfect accuracy directly at my Achilles Heel by you know who. Rotten old sod!
(Stupid me - I should have gone privately in the first place. Ah, we live and learn).
See you later. Limps off grumbling.

Just posted on the Sam Harris thread.
Can't help linking the present world economic crisis to Bible prophecies and you will acknowledge thaT i'M NOT ALONE IN THIS VIEW - oops - caps lock - anyway, it seems the rationalists have a blind spot where these things occur.
Regarding the times of the Gentiles coming to an end in Israel, the prophecy was given with a timeline beginning from when the order was given to rebuild the gates of Jerusalem in the O/T and that timeline expires in 1967 when in fact, Jerusalem was re-unified.
SH does not address any of this.

Good morning (just) all,
I am around and sporadically reading but I'm not answering so much of late. Unfortunately another of my fav people on here has lost someone very close to them recently and although they currently feel unable to talk they can text so they've rather been getting my undivided for obvious reasons. (I feel next to useless but apparently this is helping them and they're too far away to give a hug and a stiff drink to).
So I promise I'm hiding behind the tumbleweed somewhere and occasionally blurting out something and running away!

Sorry guys, I'm hopeless tonight - heavy day - so I'll get back to you all tomorrow. Lots to say, and no brain left to help me say it. (So 'what's new?', I hear you cry). Fine company I turned out to be!! Don't you wish you knew me in real life? Probably not!.
Goodnight - and I wish you, as always, beautiful dreams. mwah! x

Theland, Ahhh, who took your virginity? The junk man? What a beast!
Luna�s faith in my culinary expertise is misplaced, I fear. Like him, I�d probably cook the spiders too - and him a vegetarian! Apart from that, I rarely keep irrational carrots in my fridge, so best stick to the custard pies. I�m an expert with those. Sperlattt! :o)
Off you go again with this timeline thing, Theland. I�ve asked you about this before - and about the 1967 you quote - but I can�t remember you ever getting back to me about it. Where is this timeline? I�d very much like to look at that. Just what biblical prophesies are you talking about? This is all very mysterious. I can see you (in my mind�s eye) nodding sagely and prophetically - and I have to say pretty gloomily - but I haven�t a clue what you�re talking about, so come on, spill the beans. And why aren�t you alone in this view? Who�s agreeing with you? Elaborate if you please. Sam Harris may not address that particular point in the video, but I don�t know if he�s addressed it elsewhere. I doubt it because he probably, quite rightly, views such absurd superstition as bunkum, but nevertheless. I�ll try to find out.
I�ll get back to the Sam Harris thread later, if I can. I�m going to watch �Christianity, a History� now.
China, you�re a good girl. I think it�s so important for people to offer their support at such a time. Poor Cetti�s husband died recently too. How hard it must be.
