Beware of Jay-Z, Beyonce,Kanye West,Rihana,and Chris Brown. The Music Industry has gotten the world on lock down, they have some folks as slaves.That shows us that the only way to be living a sure and truthful life is to be with God always.

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:17
But as for me, my prayer is to You,
        O LORD, in the acceptable time;
        O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,
        Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.Psalm 69:13

i need some english church songs for easter ASAP for sunday school children. Please if you can post the audio that would be appreciated.

Thankyou
God Bless you]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8918/law-suits-etc Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:35:22 +0000 coolboy1000g 8918@/community/discussions I was reading in the other thread about gambling/lottery and how the money isnt earned honestly and through hard work. So it made me think what about law suits or things similar; what is the church's view on it? For example, you go into a store you get hurt and you sue the company, this I understand that you deserve since you need the money for treatment and compensation. But lets say you are harassed at work for any reason, or you were racially discrimnated against as a customer. Is it morally right for me to pursue a compensation? What does the church say in regards to that?
I know I mentioned only a few examples, but here in the US and in Europe, it is very easy to file a law suit. Please share your opinion in regards to that matter especially if you know the church rules or have had experience with similar situations.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8718/england-v-egypt Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:22:14 +0000 peterfarrington 8718@/community/discussions
I wondered if anyone had got a ticket for the England v Egypt international at Wembley in March?

I will be there with my son cheering for England. I don't mind if others are cheering for Egypt. :-)

Why don't songs make sense when you listen to them (but are catchy) and why do people think that music videos are "weird" (but are 'captivating' and different and 'creepy')?

Because Satan is in charge. What do you think Satan's specialty was when he was the angel Lucifer in heaven? Music.

"Your pomp* is brought down to Sheol**,
      And the sound of your stringed instruments;      
The maggot is spread under you,
      And worms cover you.’ "
Isaiah 14:11

*Pomp= magnificent display
**Sheol= underworld

THIS IS THE FIRST VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT BEGINS TO DESCRIBE THE ANGEL LUCIFER WHO IS NOW SATAN. ITS ALL SELF EXPLANATORY AND EQUALLY OBVIOUS>> IF HIS SPECIALTY IN HEAVEN WAS MUSIC, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE HIS TOOL ON EARTH??
In addition to this the universality of media and communication technologies are way too convienent. Ipods, mp3 sticks, the radio, the TV, the internet, magazines, phones, fashion, newspapers, the cinemas, billboards and advertisements. How convienient. How very convienient.

Look at the opening lyrics of Umbrella by Rihanna:

“No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones”
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella

We fly higher than weather
And G5’s are better, You know me,
an anticipation, for precipitation. Stacked chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?

?? ??WHO SAYS THAT, WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT?? ?? Its absolute nonsense (and its not like that for no reason and accompanied with the video imagery is worse) and yet, how many youth know this song, perhaps even off by heart and it wrenches my heart especially when the meanings are clearly anti-Christian and it is happening and young people are being mind controlled and to an extremity, possessed, apparent through fashion, terminologies, gestures, involvement in lustful things, and satanic thoughts such as suicide. Don't wait for fireworks, the end of the world is near.

People who have wisely withdrawn from the music industry have much to say.

But again I say, suit yourselves!]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8908/how-is-sarcasm-a-sin Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:27:59 +0000 PaulSamir 8908@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8898/how-should-you-deal-with-people-who-think-they-are-super-saints Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:35:18 +0000 PaulSamir 8898@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8887/a-good-recording-of-night-of-the-last-supper Sat, 27 Feb 2010 09:20:44 +0000 markh113 8887@/community/discussions
I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a good recording of Night of the last Supper. I know Esmou produced "eve of the last supper" on orthodoxsongs.org, but does anyone have a different one? There isn't a single recording online.  :-\

I have a midterm tomorrow worth almost half of my course grade in pharmacology and I need some help with drugs  ???

Atropine and Hexamethonium are both cholinergic blockers (or so it seems from my notes) so why is it that Hexamethonium makes  the sympathetic to be parasympathomimetic and vice versa, while atropine only seems to block the parasympathetic effects?

This is very confusing, so if anyone could clear this up for me, that would be great!

there's a tarneema that's been going through my head and I can't find it anywhere. I used to have it on tape from St. Mina's Monastary but I lent it out and never got it back!!

I only know the first couple lines:

Fe youm men el ayam w ana mashy fe salam
Shoft etnein ro7baan w ma3a7om gondy kaman
fe youm men el ayam w fe agamal el a7lam
Shoft etnein ro7baan w ma3a7om gondy kaman

... and then it goes on to describe that the first ra7eb (monk) is the Baba Kirellos and what he does, the second verse is about the late Anba Mina, and the third is the gondy Mari Mina!

It's a really cute tarneema and I love it so much! Please let me know if you have it or if you know where I can get it :)

Thanks]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8853/bored Fri, 19 Feb 2010 08:18:13 +0000 Marieanne 8853@/community/discussions
I recently moved to another state, so I don't have any friends here and I take my time to make friends because I don't want to make the wrong decisions.

I do read the Bible and pray the Agpia and read immensly but after that I'm bored again, then I end up cleaning my room, then I'm bored again. What do ya'll do to get out of this state? (No pun intended).]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8844/does-anyone-here-goes-to-uic-chicago Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:22:25 +0000 ebnyasoo3 8844@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8842/english-programming-on-ctv-aghapy-tv Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:02:25 +0000 rpm 8842@/community/discussions     Its been a while and I hope all of you are fine.
       
Could someone tell me if English (or subtitled) programming is available on CTV and Aghapy TV. I have a very basic understanding of spoken Arabic and would be eager to view Coptic Orthodox programming.

We receive a host of Evangelical channels through a European satellite network and my wife is a regular viewer. I found that by re-orienting the satellite dish, I could replace this network with the one hosting CTV & Aghapy without telling my wife, of course. ;D I know its a cruel prank but I don't want her to watch the stuff that's incompatible with Orthodox faith.

Of course I would be fuming if someone did such a thing to me. Ideally, we shouldn't be depending on TV or the net for our spiritual needs. But these evangelical shows have a way of luring viewers and portraying traditional Christianity in poor light. Hence my concern at the potential problems it could lead to.

God bless you all,

I asked "Whats wrong with being single?" And my mum couldn't reply without mentioning 'what people would think at church and what family friends would think'

I just want to ask all of you whats so wrong about living a single life. I want to understand where my mum is coming from, but I can't be satisfied with an answer "what people would think".
