Quite the diatribe there, dear Bob.

Perhaps your radio show listeners would enjoy hearing you read it on the
air someday. It is very entertaining (to me anyway :-).

Reminds me of the following story by Reverend Nick Shaffer:

The story is told of a man who got a permit to open the first tavern
in a small town. The members of a local church were strongly opposed to
the bar, so they began to pray that God would intervene. A few days
before the tavern was scheduled to open, lightning hits the structure
and it burned to the ground. The people of the church were surprised
but pleased -- until they received notice that the would-be tavern owner
was suing them. He contended that their prayers were responsible for
the burning of the building. They denied the charge. At the conclusion
of the preliminary hearing, the judge wryly remarked, "At this point I
don't know what my decision will be, but it seems that the tavern owner
believes in the power of prayer and these church people don't." Do you
believe in the power of God?

The way to the truth is straight and narrow:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A

You remain in my prayers, dear Bob whom I love, in Lord Jesus Christ's
most holy and precious name.

May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I22222129

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" metabolic syndrome thereby
bringing this thread back on topic for the medical newsgroups :-)

The LordŽT would like you to know that he has judged you to be a filthy low
down scum sucking gutter dwelling pig poking spammer from the slime pits of
****wit'sville, and that you chose the wrong religion. HTH.

The Lord has this message for you which can be found within His Word:

Jeremiah 28:16

I will pray for His mercy on your behalf that He spares your life but it
will ultimately be His will.


> Life is the dream you wake up to.


Thankfully, Lord Jesus is the way, the truth, and **the life**.

Truth is simple:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?P2264129A

The way to the truth is straight and narrow:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A

You will be in my prayers, dear neighbor, whom I love, in Christ's holy
name.

May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I22222129

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

Enter the diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" type 2 diabetes
thereby bringing this thread back on topic :-)

At His service,

Andrew

No marketing here. The 2PD-OMER Approach is neither fad nor commercial
venture.

Are australian's typically as incoherent as you?

> PS most aussies can smell someone who isnt genuine a mile away


If you smell me, you might be suffering an olfactory hallucination,
which could indicate an underlying neurological problem.

For this reason, I would suggest you inform your doctor(s) if indeed you
truly are having this symptom.

Truth is simple:

The way to the truth is straight and narrow:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A

You will remain in my prayers, dear Bob, whom I love, in Christ's holy
name.

May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I22222129

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

Enter the diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" type 2 diabetes
thereby bringing this thread back on topic :-)

why not show some respect for all the other groups, check the headers
of your posts and do not cross post when replying?

it only spreadschung's trolling and angers those who don't want to see
it in groups where religios mythologies are not the topic.

in fact it will only inspire him to troll even harder because he is
getting the reaction he wants a negative reaction. Chung trolls in
this manner because he enjoys sparking flame wars between the
newsgroups, and between religious people of differing faiths. The
arguing is what chung really wants.

this is a diabetes newgroup for people who want help with diabetes. not a
marketing opportunity to flog your latest idea.

also if you want to insult people i suggest you go elsewhere.

medical problems are not a lot of fun to have you know and this isnt the US
where seem so determined to sell yourself for your own gain.


gp

andrew

please reconsider posting here for anything other than a diabetes issue, no
marketing schemes for weight loss or any other product.

you get a lot of bad replies because of your 'buy me' atitude and justifying
it with religious sayings.
Christ did say get rid of the money men.

you are not a positive influence on the terrible disease of diabetes in this
forum, you are annoying people.

initials after your name tells everyone more about your ego than you wisdom

let go of your pride and your religious ego


Blash
gp notices:

<< initials after your name tells everyone more about your ego than you
wisdom>>

He is probably convinced that he is the only one here with initials
after their name.........however, those that have them are not feeling
inferior and therefore see no need to flaunt them..........

what?
this is a diabetes newgroup for the purpose of diabetes only, read the
usenet name. it is not a general idea forum.

your purpose here is not to inform.
you dont know it all and again we see a lot of EGO coming from you.

again your pride is talking for you

Mack does seem to be lost.

Truth is simple:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?P2264129A

The way to the truth is straight and narrow:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A

You will remain in my prayers, dear neighbor whom I love, in Christ's
holy name.

May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I22222129

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" metabolic syndrome (MetS)
thereby bringing this thread back on topic for these NGs :-)
