  1. I was an adulterer. But thanks to my merciful God - I've humbly confessed and have been forgiven. Jesus died for sinners like me.
  2. Get a grip. what you see as "bizarre," is all in your head. I don't support adultery. I know you don't get that.....but I'm not in the mood to explain it all again (just for your benefit). So, here's an old thread.....scroll down to my posts. They explain where I'm coming from:
  3. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving, news-wise. Media must be hoping secretly for Trump to get a second term.
  4. Also.......people who gorged on "Me-too," are ready to puke. I mean, digging up bones from decades ago, isn't so nice anymore. Daniels' statement has the ring of truth when she insists: I'm not a victim. You got that right. Men are beginning to look like the victims......
  5. Of course, it's like tabloid news. Sensational ones makes for better ratings. Wasn't Colbert also the one who went to the same hotel in Russia? Colbert's rating went up since he started covering Trump.
  6. The issue of this thread is clearly stated in its title. Like it or not........the issue here is about what the Bible has to say on homosexuality. That's pretty much about it. Whether one disagrees with the Bible, or feels that religion has no place in our society as an authority on behavior, is irrelevant in this thread.
  7. That's the sad part. What I see is an ageing ex-porno actress trying hard to make something big out of this. $130,000 must seem peanuts to her now, after someone planted the dreamy idea of of publishing a book, speaking engagement fees, and maybe guest appearances....and who knows, maybe even movie roles. Maybe she thinks Trump might give her more to shut her up. It's like blackmail, huh? Money? Fame? She's got her own angle.
  8. Let me put it this way: I don't want to waste my time listening to incessant bull. You're asking where it says homosexuality is wrong. I'd given verses in the Old and New Testament. No matter how many ways you re-invent your question - the answer wouldn't change! I've also connected the dots, showing the consistency why God says it's wrong, with other verses. If you can't grasp them - what more can I say? I take it, you're more in a state of denial. You think, what you don't acknowledge.........surely, can't be there. You're free to be in that state. Bye.
  9. Here's another lawyer's pov: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/26/did-stormy-daniels-lawyer-implicate-himself-in-crime-by-revealing-mystery-disc-analysts-say-its-unclear.html No wonder Stormy was offering to return the money.
  10. The scary part is that.....she could still win. Imagine how many votes she'd be buying with the free daycare!
  11. Gawker Media was mentioned above. Remember Hulk Hogan's settlement? https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/03/business/media/gawker-hulk-hogan-settlement.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollea_v._Gawker He sued his friend Bubba, but settled for a merely $5,000.
  12. In 2012...Michael Avenatti had lost a big case. The article above was taken from the Washington Post (for some reason, the link won't get pasted). Why the secret how he ended up representing Daniels?
  13. This is most likely politically motivated. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/did-stormy-daniels-lawyer-implicate-himself-or-his-client-in-a-crime/ About the author of the article: Robert Barnes is a California-based trial attorney whose practice focuses on Constitutional, criminal and civil rights law. You can follow him at @Barnes_Law.
  14. The sad saga of Stormy Daniels could end up with her, facing lawsuits....and even criminal charges (along with her lawyer). Her former manager is speaking through her own lawyer. Trump's lawyer, Cohen, is speaking through his (Cohen's) own lawyer......and Story's former lawyer is saying that the accusations of Stormy about being pressured to sign the non-disclosure deal, is not accurate. https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/5-revelations-in-stormy-daniels-interview/index.html What does that imply when people start talking through their lawyers? Furthermore.....somebody (most likely a conservative-leaning media), is going to put pressure on Daniels to release her former lawyer from the attorney/client privilege - what the former lawyer has to say, is more fodder to keep this drama going. Anyone getting damaged by Stormy Daniels will want to hear what the former lawyer has to say! What - unbiased - media, wouldn't? By the looks of all that's been implicated in this saga - at the end of the day, it will be Daniels (and her lawyer), who'll end up being on trial (by the media......and for real). I think.....from what I've been reading from this article posted below, Cohen is giving Daniels some fair warning when he asked that she cease and desist. Apparently, she (and her lawyer) can be facing some serious crimes. Remember the dvd that was shown, with Avenatti's tweet, "If “a picture is worth a thousand words,” how many words is this worth?????" Uh.....maybe....... it'll be worth two words! CRIMINAL CHARGES. That DVD could be worth a lot of criminal trouble for this pair, if it happens to be a tape. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/did-stormy-daniels-lawyer-implicate-himself-or-his-client-in-a-crime/ https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/did-stormy-daniels-lawyer-implicate-himself-or-his-client-in-a-crime/ https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/did-stormy-daniels-lawyer-implicate-himself-or-his-client-in-a-crime/
  15. How do we know you’re telling the truth?”

    The speech of sex workers is under unprecedented scrutiny in American politics right now. Clifford replied, “‘Cause I have no reason to lie. I’m opening myself up for, you know, possible danger and definitely a whole lot of shit.” 

    https://newrepublic.com/minutes/147650/stormy-daniels-interview-milestone-way-america-listens-sex-workers

     

    Exactly!  Why open yourself to possible danger (not only from Trump - if he is a dangerous opponent, or from his followers)?  What's in it for you?  There's gotta be something.

     

    No reason to lie?  Oh yes, you do.

    The cynic in me says......

    There is one very big reason to lie:  15 minutes of fame for a porn-star only porn enthusiast would've heard about!   You and your lawyer are making the media rounds.....

     

    ....could there be a book coming out in the near future?

      A few weeks later, she says, a man approached her in Las Vegas.
       
      "I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter," Daniels said. "And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.' And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom,' and then he was gone," she said.

      How do we know this really happened?

      Daniels said she was shaken by the experience but never told police out of fear.

       

      I don't know about this "fear" factor.  You don't look fearful to me now.  In fact, your lawyer sounds more like taunting.  Just because you went public, does not eliminate any danger.  It isn't only Trump you've got to consider here, especially in these turbulent times in politics  - there are also the lunatics.

       

      If fear is your reason - I think you, and your lawyer - have chosen a lousy timing to come out swinging.

      Daniels told Cooper her former manager and former attorney pressured her to sign it.
      "If it was untruthful, why did you sign it?" Cooper asked.
      "Because they made it sound like I had no choice," Daniels said. "As a matter of fact, the exact sentence used was, 'They can make your life hell in many different ways.'"
      When asked who "they" were, Daniels said she believed it was Cohen.

       

      ---------------

       

      Cohen has denied he made any threats to Daniels, and following the airing of the "60 Minutes" interview, an attorney for Cohen said in a letter that Daniels had defamed his client.

      -------------------------

      When asked about Daniels' charge that she was pressured into signing a false statement, her former attorney, Keith Davidson, responded in a statement to CNN: "I do not believe that the assertions in Ms. Daniels' 60 Minutes interview represent a fair and accurate description of the situation."
      He added that he cannot discuss the matter because of attorney-client privilege.
      "The current legal requirements prohibit me from doing so until such a time that Ms. Daniels, in writing, waives attorney client privilege and authorizes me to speak publicly on the matter," Davidson said.

       

      Marc Harris, the lawyer for Daniels' former manager, Gina Rodriguez, told CNN, "Ms. Clifford did not say during the interview that Ms. Rodriguez pressured her in any way to sign the January 2018 statement."
      Though she technically is not shown saying it during the interview, Anderson Cooper's voiceover made clear that is what Daniels said.

       

      https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/5-revelations-in-stormy-daniels-interview/index.html

      Daniels should be pressured to waive the attorney-client privilege - we have to hear from everyone that's being implicated in this circus.

      Daniels might be following the lead of what seems like an opportunistic, sleaze bag  lawyer - her current lawyer -  who could be using her to make a name for himself, to say the least.

       

      Below is a very interesting article.

      Did Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Implicate Himself or His Client in a Crime?

  16. They showed what looks like a dvd....with the suggestive message that this is a "warning" to Trump.

     

    It's supposed to make me think that it's the alleged dick tape!

     

    Oh yeah? 

    The cynic in me wonders:  what are the chances the dvd will be "stolen"....it will be blamed on Trump....and conveniently gives them an excuse to not show what's in it?

      I guess it's an impeachable offence to screw porn actresses.

      No, but paying her off to keep quiet during an election campaign is - assuming it's true (or not) hard to believe anything we read these days.

      Ah yes...I had almost forgotten about The Junior Anti-Sex League in 1984.

      :lol:

  17. An old movie I'd seen before: The Professional. It stars Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and a very young Natalie Porter. I still enjoyed it (as I did the first time). This scene - along with its soundtrack - is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI1XzRmojQE There are some scenes though that I find disturbing.........but, must be a pleasure for pedophiles.
  18. Capitalized fonts = shouting. Enlarged fonts, is not. Why the heck are we given the usage of large font in forums??? You're losing credibility, James. No. It's a common ploy to ignore....you're like Bubbermiley, and the others I debate with in other forum. They use the same tactics. When they can't refute it, they ignore it. It's not about whether it's a choice or not. It's about what's written in the Bible. And yes, simple statements - consistent and not in contradiction with any other verses - speak for themselves. You got that right......so, why are you resisting? You do realize that it's not really me who you're going up against with, do you James? I'm simply quoting the Bible and showing all the cross-references.
  19. Of course it's very much relevant! That's the DEFINITION of foreigner! If he fits it....he's a foreigner!
  20. You're wrong. All of that makes him a foreigner! He may be born here (I don't know).....but he claims he is born in India (by calling India his homeland). Homeland is defined as the country you were born in. To reject Canada as his homeland (if he's born here)....what more can we say about that? Here are the definitions by Merriam. Foreigner: a person belonging to or owing allegiance to a foreign country chiefly dialectal : one not native to a place or community it He claims India to be his homeland. Therefore....he is a foreigner.
  21. Anyone is better than a ..........conniving, ambitious, ruthless snake.

     

    The USA has been spared.

      Hey Bubb, are your awake?

      I gave you the sources twice now - once in your own status update.  Read them again!

      I asked you to give me your source that verified the piss tape - so far, you never produced a single thing!

      What's Christianity got to do with this?  Christian Hillary against Christian Donald!  So, there.

       

      You keep yapping nonsense!

      Until you produce any evidence that verifies the piss tape - I'll be ignoring you. 

      :rolleyes: From foot massages to golden showers - I don't want to join you with what seems to be a very titilliating subject with you - sex fetishes!

      Bubb, you're making false accusations - and, you're doing it deliberately, too since I've already given  sources that negated your stupid claim. Yet you insist like nothing was given at all. :rolleyes:

      Bye for now.

      All he's got is crap and lies. Take those away from him and he'd have nothing at all to say.

       

  22. Look again. They weren't capitalized. They're simply enlarged. In some cases, I have to. Some things are either being deliberately ignored......or overlooked.
  23. I know serenity. I know about that peaceful calm, deep inside. While doing a worship (not at a church or temple), I've experienced too, that sudden escalating feeling of joy that filled the heart that it felt like my heart would literally burst - the amazing thing was that I didn't feel any fear at all. After it subsided, I had to sit down, in awe....and I marvelled at what just happened. We can talk to God anywhere. We can be with God anywhere.
  24. Like I said, no matter how you take it - in whatever context you want to put it - her statement, is still deplorable. Especially now when we see racial tensions - to single out white people ( and also the vulnerable, to boot).......is, at the very least, a very reckless thing to do. Is she daft? Was Wynn having a senior moment when she said that deplorable comment? I recognize miscomprehension - and since you seem to have a problem in grasping what is being said - I'm pointing it out to you.
  25. Context my foot! No matter what context - her statement is deplorable!
