Tinkerton Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Rcg.org/articles/wcdcny.html Interesting reading .. Apparently jerimiah 10.2-3 Lev 18:3 Are some of the main points .. The book of Jeremiah, Chapter 10 Verse 2 “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the heavens, though the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. Hardly says "don't celebrate the new year", does it? The Book of Leviticus, Chapter 18 verse 3: You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. Oh look. Doesn't say owt about "Don't celebrate the new year" there, either. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Think of it as celebrating winter solstice. I don't want to do that either. I got the wife a 50" TV from Tesco in the "black friday" sale. Seemed like a good deal. She bought me some pedals. Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm an atheist and I hate Christmas. When I was still a grunt, I used to refuse to enter a church any time outside of Remembrance Day. I was super popular with my RSMs. I saw the new Star Wars trailer today, about fifteen hundred times. It made me smile a lot. Darkchild Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Star Wars trailer makes me happy too. As for Christmas? I love it. Not for the religious *badger*s, but because it's a time to catch up with friends and family. Mainly in a pub with a roaring fire. I have great memories of it as a child/teenager, but the last few have been truly, utterly *suitcase*, what with parents in hospital for 2 of them then them 1 dieing, family dieing/hanging themselves (same thing really), other parent in hospital for the last 2, and family not spending it together as much now. It used to be 20+ seated on Christmas Day. Half that now. With all of that, I still love it. I've started a family of my own, my 14 month old will love it this year. I get some true time off to be with my wife, and as said, friends are making time (and us too) to see each other, from all over the country. It's a time for meeting. And to drink old tom from robinsons brewery. It's a bitter that's only served in halves as it's so potent. Tastes awesome. *fruitcage*s you up though... Link to post Share on other sites

Tastes awesome. *fruitcage*s you up though... Sounds good. I have a couple of bottles of Trooper in the kitchen. For potent though, I'm a big fan of black dragon. Not so potent they serve it in half pints, but it is still so you drink more of it before you realise as you don't get gassy. And it's tasty. Link to post Share on other sites

paranoiddroid Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Nothing in leviticus is relevant to Christians as anything other than a history of where we have come from. Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end. Hebrews 8:13 And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those trangressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:15 Which is why men don't need to be 'cut' and I don't need to.live in a shack away from all others 7 days out of 28. The new covanent being For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal 5:14 Although some things do carry over but they carry over expressly because Christ told us they do or the discipled and prophets tasked with guiding the new church told us they do. So the ten commandments are valid, being pious only for the public accolades is still a sin and so are a few other things but most importantly Bacon tasty tasty bacon fried in pork fat is no longer evil.

Gunmane Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 For once I had bacon, on homemade cheese fries alongside homemade chicken nuggets. Belly gut has expanded for sure, but so good... Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Arnies is back, that made me smile. Got the bipod RIS adapter, fits my .338 Ordered a Swiss Arms Harris pod (Because it's either chip as *suitcase* ones which I expect to be terribad or a legitimate one which then I need to buy an adapter for). Got spare RIS at the front, handy if I decide to get a NV scope (when they become cheaper) for an IR illuminator. Maybe a laser because cool. Part of me wants a laser rangefinder for it because again cool (if it was an actual firearm it'd have some use too) but expensive for what it is. Looking at spending some more on airsoft gear as the bloody Semapo 6094A in AoR2 seems forever away and I am tempted by savings on TAG kit or VTGs.... Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sounds good. I have a couple of bottles of Trooper in the kitchen. For potent though, I'm a big fan of black dragon. Not so potent they serve it in half pints, but it is still so you drink more of it before you realise as you don't get gassy. And it's tasty. Old tom is strange. Is has a magical ingredient that makes you fall over rather quickly. A mate of mine is a big drinker. 15 pints type of thing. We watched him have 6 pints of old tom. He was cycling home. Got on his bike backwards and immediately fell over. He had to be given a lift home, a couple of miles away, and had to stop to puke too. Another time, a little scrotey chav swaggered in and ordered a pint. Was told halves only. "Ok, 2 effin' halves then innit" acting the big lad in front of his chavvy mates. Downed them, had another half and fell off his barstool absolutely hammered. He was escorted off the property never to be seen again. It's a vicious drink. But sweet and delicious. All the locals know not to have more than 2 halves though. It's the only acceptable time I will ever order a half of beer... Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Took the plunge and barfed 300 quid on a DSLR and a portrait lens (a simple 50/1.8 one). Now I wonder if I can find a willing model. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ordered a cuddly wolf for a mate for Christmas but might give it to her sooner. Can't wait to see her face. Room is tidy. Its nice. Link to post Share on other sites

Gunmane Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Randomly watching videos from a prolific UK airsoft youtuber, including one focused primarily on a person playing out as a "Hitman". First thoughts were "FK just has to duel this guy." Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 has anybody here successfully overcome an existential crisis? not joking when I say the main suggestions on the internet are 1) exercise 2) drink lots of water - both of which I already do edit: wrong thread Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I deal with one typically everyday, if not at least weekly. I suppose one could say I overcome them, but I feel that it is instead a series of delaying actions. Look at shiny things is about all I can say besides humming to some song you are fond of. Ideally one should attempt to dissociate with whatever it is that is linked to said crisis. Lately it is watching how you in the UK play airsoft that is helping. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes. I fill my time with ideas. Never going to the dark places (came from nothing going back to nothing, kind of thinking). Also, bacon. Eat some bacon when you feel yourself tipping over. If you don't like/can't eat bacon, try strong coffee without milk or sugar. If you don't like coffee, try making a Star Wars x wing out of a maximum of 20 lego pieces (in your head). What made me smile today was someone helping me on to a train (I had my son in a pram and they helped me get the pram on). Platform 3 at earlestown train station is a bit too far from the train (you'd have to see it to understand). Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Citizen Eco lives, finally got it charged with my Scoutlight. Just making sure its properly topped up then got to keep looking after it. Manual was confusing as hell, so watched the Citizen video and it makes sense now and its properly calibrated. Also got given an Adidas watch with rubber strap for work/general wear. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 My wife's lasagne. It's more addictive than heroin (I'm guessing...), and not conducive to my 'eat less, do more' regime which started today. It has so far gone 'eat more, do more'. Baby steps I suppose!

Cannonfodder80 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Don't be surprised if you find yourself eating more when starting an exercise regime. You're using more energy so it's only normal for your body to want more fuel making you eat more Link to post Share on other sites
