budd cochran wrote you never asked for divine help with a test you forgot to study for no. if i forgot then its my fault and i pay the consequences. i learn from my mistakes and learn self responsibility rather than expect someone to bail me out. then you shouldnt have prayer services in a church they are only for those that wish to partake. not done in a mixed public forum where some people may not desire such. standing on a circle of concrete around a flagpole before they open the doors to the school is not using taxpayer money to speak of. anyone not interested in the religious meeting has to avoid this group. that is wrong. the group should go to a private area where those that wish to attend can those that do not are not subject to their sessions. case in point. when i attended nau in northern arizona it was very common for religious groups to gather in a small grassy area just outside my dorm. for hours i would have to endure their religious speaches sometimes with a bull horn. as i said i have no trouble wiith them practicing their religion on campus. but do it in a manner that has no chance of bothering anyone who does not wish to partake. otherwise get off campus. the other religions are not denied access if access is granted to christians. what gave you the idea they were yes they are. our government has a list of approved recognized religions. others are listed as cults. only approved religions are granted access if one is. our government decides which ones are acceptable. yes i do. if theyre going to teach those belief systems then they should also teach christianity. so if they teach christianity then they should also teach evolution or would you be happy if they only taught christianity now what about all other religions if christiantity is taught then they also have to teach islam buddism etc. right sure i dislike certain beliefs but i respect ones right to believe the way they choose and i do not tell them they are wrong for doing so. i do not tell them theyre a lesser person for doing so. that is you and your beliefs. i dont agree with them. yes i do you disagree. you believe you are above anyone who doesnt subscribe to your beliefs regardless of their religion. you believe you are a better person than them. you have no respect for people with differing views. my beliefs are not like yours. fundamental christianity which i believe in has no compunctions or restrictions about stepping on toes. im to call a sinner a sinner. and there you have it budd. why there is so much fighting in the world. each group has their own beliefs and zero tolerance of anyone who differs. youre a classic example of religious based intolerance. the number one reason for the conflicts in the history of the world. im to call a cult a cult. when someone tries to re-write the word of god re-interpret it to liberalize and dilute it call it just a history book i am called to defend it. god through jesus only showed himself to a select few people in the middle east. many other religions existed during the time and before. you wish to rewrite their beliefs you are not called to attack others in the name of religion. you are not told to have zero tolerance for anyone who differs from your beliefs even other christians who differ. you otoh want the bible re-written to suit you to allow the things you want to do to not tell you that youre a sinner and youre going to hell. i believe your better than anyone else who differs mentality will send you to hell. your intolerance is a sin. go on call the bible a poorly written history book but one thing is for sure miles no matter what you call it it is what it really is gods word to far more people than yourself. far more people in the world do not believe the way you do. fact. deal with it. you claim you believe in god well why dont you just talk to him and ask him to show you the truth about the bible and himself. the bible says that if you ask him in full faith believing you will be answered yes no not yet are the most common answers not wavering doubting then god will answer. so tell me budd. who in the world is allowed a private audience with god the bible says who. some high ranking church leader the pope who not one ever says hey i spoke with god today and he says....... why not oh ya faith. .

whats unproven about it gee how about the fact that none of us have seen jesus or god for that matter. that is why it is called faith budd. there is no one alive today that can testify to observing either creation or evolution. there is no evidence for macro-evolution goo-to-you evolution today. the fossil record the smooth non-eroded no cuts from rivers or creeks sandstone layers outside my window fit creation better than evolution. why it it were creation there should be no layers at all. jesus was a historical figure in israel. there were eyewitnesses to his miracles his life crucifixion and resurrection. he referred to the creation as a fact...and there were witnesses to this also. really when did you talk to these witnesses there are stories about the great flood all over the world but if everyone and everything was killed with the exception of what was on the ark who exactly wrote about it in these other lands in josh mcdowells book evidence that demands a verdict the point is clarified that it takes but one witness to convict a murderer and there were 5000 to just the ascension. how many of them did you talk to add to that the fact that for a couple centuries being a christian was illegal and punishable by death . . .yet it has endured. what does that have to do with anything there are many things that people continue do that they can and are killed for. how many here would be willing to go to the death for what they believe im trying to make sure there is enough evidence in regards to my life that they kill me on the spot. as greg said how about most of our armed forces. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

even if the sensor shows visible damage that doesnt mean the damage caused it to fail nor does it mean the service person caused the damage. there is no way after the fact you will be able to prove any damage you may possibly find was caused by the service person. this is not csi and this isnt a murder case. but if it will make you feel better to take them to court by all means go for it that is your right. ill look forward to your postings about that adventure. on thu 5 oct 2006 131959 -0600 larry crites larryacrites@msn.com wrote what proof do you have that they made the sensor fail no proof you wont win in court. you pay. as far as the noise not going away did they say that what they would do would solve that problem or did they do what you told them to do my complaint is not about noise that did not go away it is about the failed speed sensor. as for proof i will check the sensor to see if it bears any signs of damage. winning in civil court requires preponderance of evidence. i larry behold beware believe on 5 oct 2006 085506 -0700 jon jongoddard@gmail.com wrote you know i hate to be the devils advocate but with an attitude like that i bet theres nothing they can do to make you happy short of making service free. well if they did the work and fixed the problem i would be happy. as it stands they did the work replaced all bearings and according to them made proper adjustments and the noise did not go away. well okay sometimes it happens that they fix one thing and it does not help. now when they do this work and also break the speed sensor come on what are the chances of it failing randomly on the same day and say it is not their fault it goes a little too far. having been on both sides of the counter its real freaking simple and reasonable you have to accept the fact that electrical components often do fail without warning and at odd times and they have to accept that if there is any sign of damage to the wiring or the sensor resulting from the work done then you need to get a far better deal than list price + book hours....if not on the house. if youre talking about a dealers service shop and theyve failed exonerate themselves then perhaps you need to lodge a complaint with your local bbb. in my opinion that shows youre far more serious than a small claims suit where youve got a 50/50 shot with the judge. ok. i will do just that. seems easy enough. i .

dude is this really an appropriate time to be ranting about gun control. what exactly would you have them do dude - it has a lot to do with whats been happening recently. sick individual - essentially a coward - wants to take out his rage against some defenseless people. he knows he wont be opposed by anyone in a school as he knows hell be the only one armed. therefore its like shooting fish in a barrel. beekeep summed it up perfectly some time ago when he said think about how differently 9/11 would have turned out had some of the passengers on those planes been armed. extend that to the amish school to columbine to the canadian school etc. etc. etc. as long as we continue to have these sick individuals roaming this planet we need to be able to defend ourselves against those individuals. you figure out how to get rid of these individuals and i may change my views. but until then well... .

the problem is that big business would never allow it. yes they can and there is damn little that parents can do about it especially if they are not always at home. and what exactly would you do about it -- all i ever see ol tboner do is attack others views with his liberal bullshit. he has never offered real ideas or solutions. it is always easy to criticize and fault others but often difficult to come up with workable answers. if he is so freakin wise how would he solve the problem without blaming it on conserative greed as there are just as many greedy democrats as republicans. open your eyes. all politicians are in it for themselves. mr.dodge .

thats my concern the floor pan is already out and the inside and bottom of the rocker is gone for the most part. he already has the panels as there was some rust holes on the outside just under the door that he knew about and was already planning the replacement. this is on a restoration me and a friend are working on together. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. if you have the interior completely stripped youll need to brace it every way you can think of. if you think it can move out of line in a certain direction it probably can. -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams hey guys im looking for some advice from you wielding and body gurus. we have a old pontiac here in the garage that needs some new floor pans and rocker panels wielded in. the pans i know i can do no problem. its the rockers i have a question about. do i need to put something like 1x1 tube in some sort of x fashion to support the body from twisting when i cut the rockers out. i realize that i want to cut then wield one side at a time. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .
