* Fantastic social/recreational window on the world.
.........................
* What's your opinion of the December, 2012, predictions?

the gun; get pregnant; place your confidence in something or someone; change your mind or you don't. 'Truly' is another great
example of superficial distinctions without a difference... and as such belongs in the common wisdom bin where maggots feast.

as an early point of origin for the word 'repent', with the meaning of 'after mind' (after giving it thought to change your mind,
decision or viewpoint). An emotional connotation triggered the anachronistic dialectic to alter the cerebral meaning much later.
Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyyet all these people are known to lie about those actions. Women have lied about being pregnant, men have lied about military service. people lie about repentance. I stand by my post.

If you wanted to use it in the Koine Greek context, I'd advise putting on a toga and typing your entire post in Greek.
