Any fellow vegans out there?

I have a friend, who is saying that Martin Luther committed suicide. From what I've heard about Luther, he was grievously afflicted leading up to his death, which was NOT suicide, with many, many terrible health conditions. He finally died, shattered in health. Has anyone else heard that...

I know this DVD came out years ago, but I wanted to see how many of you believe what this pastor says about having been taken up to Heaven. The DVD is "Close Encounters of the God Kind" by Dr. Jesse DuPlantis. You can find it on Amazon.com: CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE GOD KIND DVD by Dr. Jesse...

Hi, my name is Northbrook and I have just learned, by reading the posts on Quora.com, all about narcissistic partner abuse. I think the man I loved was a narcissist and the reason I think I am a victim of narcissistic partner abuse is that he destroyed my mental, emotional, physical, and even...

Has any of you ever seen a female mammal such as a female dog or female cat give birth? I know, because a vet told me, that all mammals have belly buttons. But a belly button arises when the umbilical cord is cut. So my question is, in the wild, when it comes time to cut the umbilical cord...

There was a married couple, and they were both the same age. The year they both turned 60, God appeared at their 60th birthday party. God said to the wife, “What is your wish? Just tell me, and I will grant it.” The wife said, “Well, it’s always been my wish to visit France.” And poof...

Have you ever heard of the pastor Jesse DuPlantis? He is very funny. I recommend his video that came out 25 years ago called "Close Encounters of the God Kind," but anyway, one other time Jesse DuPlantis was asked that if his wife were to die, would he marry again? And Jesse said, "Oh, no...

Hi, everyone, this is Northbrook. I am trying to locate the member of TAW who recently posted an article, possibly with photo, about Theophany (Jan. 6). Don't laugh, but this article was about how a monk/priest might THINK it was unseemly for him to "Swim for the Cross" on Jan. 6, but that...

Aristotle said, "By all means, marry. If you end up happy, why, that's great. And if you end up unhappy, why, you can practice philosophy" *smile*.

Hello, ladies, my name is Penny and I would like to start a women's group here on Christian Forums. Let me tell a story of what happened at my church in Kentucky when we tried to start a women's group. The women in the church met for the women's group for the first time. Each woman had a saga...

My cousin Michael had a lot of problems growing up. At 16, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. But now, his mother and a psychiatrist have discussed his case in deep detail and the two of them now believe that Michael was misdiagnosed for years, and what he actually had was Asperger’s...

You’ve heard of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychology. But have you heard of William James? The latter is considered the grandfather of psychology. Now, when William James was a young man, he went two years without getting out of bed. And why? He was too DEPRESSED to get out of bed...

In the old days, scales contained springs. You would put the object you wanted to weigh on the scale, and that would depress a spring, a little for a light object, a lot for a heavy object. You remember. The problem with spring scales is that they were always wearing out/breaking. Springs...

If biology is the study of life, are ruminations on life a kind of philosophy of biology? For example, take what Paul Newman said in one of his films. It was, "Nobody gets outta life alive" ("Hud," 1963). Deep, huh?

All right, when you read this joke, don't laugh! DO NOT LAUGH!! Because if you laugh, you will be laughing at the OLDEST JOKE IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION! Here goes. Q: What did the tailor say to the Greek? A: "Euripedes? Eumenides!" Get it ("You rip a-dese? You mend a-dese!")? (Tailor is...

Like my "History of science joke (1 of 2)," we also used to tell this joke in the 1990's. Again, it is a history of computer science joke. To get this joke, you need to know that Windows 95, even though it came out AFTER Windows 3.1, was fraught with difficulties that we did not suffer when we...

A crazy man is being taken into the insane asylum. He cries out, "Unhand me! I am the sent one of God!" And another crazy man calls from his window, "Don't listen to him! I have sent no one!" Get it (delusions of grandeur)? Haha!

Elsewhere on this "Physical & Life Sciences" sub-forum, I recently told a joke of the genre "Rich/successful/powerful man/woman shows himself/herself to be an idiot." Or, in the words of the Old Testament, "The race is not to the swift" (Eccles 9:11). With all of you being intelligent enough...

Q: How do scholars know tennis was played in biblical times? A: "Bring offerings, and come into his courts!" As I said, you can tell it to children.

OK, so my first Carl Sagan joke was not rated "Funny" by you science types. How about this one: at the end of Johnny Carson's impersonation of Carl Sagan, a big beautiful blonde appears from off stage. She puts her arm in his and he describes how they are going to leave together and go on a...
