turboplanner Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I reckon Silverton is west of Broken Hill, not north. The most memorable event in Silverton was when Chad Morgan got hit with a nulla nulla and was put in the Broken Hill hospital. Shows that indigenous people also had a well developed sense of musical appreciation. Chad Morgan was a character. During the filming of "Dimboola" he apparently got a skin full, climbed up on to the roof of the cottage where he was staying and started singing which set off all the dogs in Dimboola.

rgmwa Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm currently working in a pagan or non-Christian background country and have been delighted to see various signs of Christianity here. Those Gideon's bible people sure do get around don't they, GG? rgmwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikky Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 For example the biggest hospital nearby has the 'snakes wrapped around a pole' symbol which is a direct reference to the healing that occurred some 3400 years ago and recorded in Numbers chapter 21 - how 'fiery serpents' were biting and killing people until Moses set up a model, a brass serpent upon a pole; Sorry GG, but I think you're a little misguided there. The symbol is known as the Rod of Asclepius. Asclepias was the ancient Greek god of medicine - son of Apollo and a mortal woman. The fact that this symbol was mentioned in Acts does not signify it's Christian. By the way, as a keen bible student, you have no doubt noted that Acts also states Christ was crucified on a tree. Ever wondered why we still symbolise Easter (more accurately named Eostre) with rabbits and eggs? Wouldn't happen to be an ancient pagan festival would it? Coincidental that Christmas and the solstice (a major pagan festival) are so close together? I don't think so! A clever strategy isn't it? Absorb and conquer ...

And Halloween is not the American commercialised product that it is often accused to be but yet another Pagan celebration doctored up to fit the Christian calendar as All souls day. Not surprising since it is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the "Eye of a Needle" is a narrow street in Jerusalem? Nev I don't know where I got it, but I thought it was a low bridge or archway somewhere. Hence "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle" meant it'd have to pretty much have to shuffle forward on its knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikky Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 A shy gentleman was preparing to board a plane when he heard that the Pope was on the same flight. "This is exciting," thought the gentleman. I've always been a big fan of the Pope. Perhaps I'll be able to see him in person. Imagine his surprise when the Pope sat down in the seat next to him for the flight. Still, the gentleman was too shy to speak to the Pontiff. Shortly after take-off, the Pope began a crossword puzzle. This is fantastic, thought the gentleman. I'm really good at crosswords. Perhaps, if the Pope gets stuck, he'll ask me for assistance. Almost immediately, the Pope turned to the gentleman and said, "Excuse me, but do you know a four letter word referring to a woman that ends in 'U-N-T'?" Only one word leapt to mind...my goodness, thought the gentleman, I can't tell the Pope that. There must be another. The gentleman thought for quite a while, then it hit him. Turning to the pope, the gentleman said, "I think you're looking for the word 'aunt'." "Ah Of course," said the Pope. "Do you have an eraser?"
