Now to solitary confinement? Which by the way is often the safest place to be. Also some request it prior to their release date to get their minds recalibrate for the outside. Solitary confinement is no longer the sweat box as depicted in the movie Coolhand Luke, though I remember those...
Various prisons, or "camps", as well as variations from state to state, as well as federal incarceration facilities and private incarceration facilities, there are many, many points if consideration. But they are all monitored -- some better than others -- and there's even separate facilities...
So you believe children should not have to have chores, involving little to no monetary compensation, to learn responsibility, cooperation, and to learn we all must "pay our way" in life?
Now I'm speaking of non-violent, non-lifers here. -- Yes. It gives the inmates structure and purpose. It helps them occupy their time and their minds in the real world or a facsimile of it. It helps to keep them engaged in a world they will re-enter. Too much "prison life" makes for a prison...
It's a START
I wonder why they wouldn't trust Bibi's regime -- I refuse to lay this mess on "the people" by saying Israel.
I'm not "stuck" on anything. I keep the past in mind, but LIVE and deal in the present.
It can't be "the same story" for this is NOW. Every struggle is new in many ways...
In Genesis 14 Abraham attempts to give Melchizedek, the King of Salem and the Most High Priest, a tenth of all his gains from his defeat of the kings of the Valley of Shaveh. But Melchizedek would not accept all Abraham offered. He requested only "the persons." I feel this was an indicator of...
I watched the two video shares. To me it looks like he is beyond cognitive difficulty. His mouth doesn't seem to be moving the same any more. It was more noticeable in the NH speech video. He was acting "hyper-stoned." I know that's a bit of an oxymoron, but that's the only way I know how to...

It's in my Kindle App. One day, I hope. But I'll need to live to be about 300 to read all the books I have waiting for me. LOL
You should try _Forgiving Ararat_, by Gita Nazareth. It's a "heavenly experience" that could be an eye opener for many. . .and not preachy.
Or _Jonathan...
So if I've misinterpreted "your" meaning of the word hudna, please enlighten me.
This westerner, typical or not, appreciates your clarification.
Yes, the Hamas leaders are offering to lay down their guns for a significant duration of time if these previous boundaries are reinstated. It's a...
I generally read a lot, though participating here has greatly diminished that.
I get a lot out of a mental walk in another's shoes and reading fiction gives me that if I'm mindful of my authors.
I recently read Dragon Seed, by Pearl S. Buck who has never disappointed. This particular book is...
But the Torah doesn't give any geographical markings. The best that can be identified, that I've been able to find, are something like this depicted below from the Book of Joshua.
So if Judah and Benjamin were the tribes to settle Judea, and the only left to claim the land, then "Israel" would...
I think this is an absolutely wonderful concept of prayer ...... but it doesn't apply to every situation or to everyone in need. It takes time and experience to "pray continuously" and learn how to "Let go, and let God."
@Saint Frankenstein
I have wisdom, courage and perseverance already. I don't need to pray for that anymore. The fact that I haven't killed myself yet shows that I have those things. Sometimes you need some actual help, you know. People need something called money to survive in this world. I...
