    The Druids... a new journey for me!

    It doesn't matter how old you are, starting out on new journeys can be interesting, exciting, and even providential. I've often been impressed about the way that Pagan members have written and responded to the posts of others........ and only last week, there I was, scurrying off to ebay to...

    UKRAINE ... What would we be doing if this was our country?

    I keep on seeing scenes of such sadness, bravery, determination and courage. Here are some, one per post... Women working in a production line, making molotov bombs. ....please add your own.

    What makes you Happy!! One 'thing' per post please!

    OK? What stuff makes you happy! Only that....we don't want to be told what we need to do, we just wanna know what does it for you. :) My turn! I love it when little Smew (a tiny elderly long-hair dachshund) snoozes on the pillow beside me in bed. She's the one on the right.

    About comics who use victims of torture and murder for laughs.

    A Brit comic made a joke about Romany victims of the nazi holocaust for a laugh, more or less saying that since they are unpopular it should be alright. There's no need for me to promote this slime bag's name, nor the actual Joke. So what do you think about trashy jokes that make fun of...

    Enemy of the Cross Celsus! He's looking a bit more credible these days?

    It's time to review old Celsus and not because he was a hateful nasty old enemy of the cross, but because he wrote reports about Jesus and the disciples which have long been stamped down, disregarded, ignored and refuted. All his writings were lost to time and I guess that's not surprising...

    Wars or Pornography.... which to eliminate if you could only get rid of one??

    On another thread in a distant section far far away, on a theist's 'ask me' OP I asked the above question. ....:- If you could only eliminate one of these, 'All Wars or All Pornography', which would you eliminate? That member replied 'Pornography'. For what its worth to you my answer is 'All...

    I got nicked for speeding!

    Yes....... an occasion for sadness. I was cruising down St Stephens Hill in Canterbury, just letting my gearbox slow me down that steep hill, when a motorcycle passed me by at higher speed...and just at that place we ran over the two cables of a police speed trap! We both got pulled, both got...

    Totally Daft Journalism! Post your examples here!

    All we need is your example, together with the newspaper or website that was daft enough to show it, plus the journalists' name. Anything that is attention-seeking, wrong, daft or just plain laughable. There are so many that I just picked on any one of scores from MSN News. www.msn.com The dog...

    I know all about it but you just 'google' stuff! :)

    How often do you read folks telling you that they are some kind of 'expert' but that you only trawl IT for rubbish? Or maybe you might be told that you can't be right because you're only a .......... trucker /housekeeper /cleaner /painter or whatever? And........ are there ANY FOLKS on RF who...

    That's it! I'm quitting RF! ......... Well.... at least until tea time.

    It's them folks like @Revoltingest stuffing their steam engine know-how (not) all over the place, an' tryin' to tell us how to treat rust when we all know about that anyway, and lots of Ozzies getting on here like that @lewisnotmiller and @TransmutingSoul with their boomerang ideas and Koala...

    The Church of England is closing many churches.

    Extract from a Daily Mail (UK) article:- More than 400 churches have closed in a decade, posing what a senior clergyman warned was a 'shocking' threat to parishes. Analysis of Church of England data found that 940 of its churches were shut between 1987 and 2019. And the figures show that 423...

    Radio Frequency I.D. Blockers. Sensible or Rubbish?

    I haven't written a bank cheque for over ten years now, maybe even fifteen, and all my purchases have been payed for by either cash, debit card or Paypal. Most UK folks now pay small transactions by 'Contactless card', simply by holding their credit and debit cards in close vicinity to a...

    Who can tell me what words like 'spiritual', 'immoral' and 'moral' really mean?

    Who will tell me what words like 'spiritual' and 'moral' really mean? Our languages change, a sure fact. For example, in recent years the word 'multiple' has become the 'it' word to replace words like 'many' or 'several' or 'a lot of'..... as annoying as 'nice' used to be considered by English...

    Breaking the seals on collectable toys and model kits. What a sin!

    Breaking the seals on collectable toys and model kits. What a sin! My friend found a tiny 'Scalecraft' model kit of the paddle steamer 'Medway Queen' at the summer boot fairs which are held in the nearby field. Some of you will know that if certain old toys, kits and games are still sealed in...

    Would Jesus put up with the very wealthy and very poor?

    Would Jesus put up with unreasonable wealth and unreasonable poverty? He didn't accept it back then, and I don't think he would now. He would definitely support the centre-left, I think.

    Apostle John was not the disciple, I think his gospels show this clearly.

    I mentioned this point to a member yesterday who had been quoting from John's gospel, and there it was, another thread for your consideration. That Apostle John was not Disciple John could be argued because of where he is reported to have lived... on a kind of prison island called Patmos, off...

    Afghan Interpreter 'Mohammed' Aman Khalili has reached the USA with his family after an epic 600 journey across Afghanistan. There will be thousands of Afghans with their families would deserve to reach the safety of Western countries, bit it's a treat to read about the few successes. Aman's...

    Do the gospels report that Jesus liked his food and wine with nasty people, sometimes to excess?

    This isn't intended as a dig at Jesus, by the way. The thought that he enjoyed his food and drink makes me feel good for him. That he ate and drank with unpopular folks I don't mind at all. But some Christians can be infuriated by the idea that their God might have got inebriated sometimes...

    It's time for Dyslexia to be expanded!

    I heard this yesterday from a very successful builder, now retired... here is his story about his dyslexia.... I cannot write or calculate on paper. I cannot remember names to the extent that I have learned tricks so that I can talk to folks even though I can't recall their names. I have no...
