A Spirit Stronger Than Faith

So, I'm trolling the religious news sites (yes, I do that...how else am I to know their position?) and I come across this story about the "persecution" (actually prosecution) of Christians in the Islamic country of Yemen for proselytizing in a country where it is forbidden to do so.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the dictatorian leadership of Yemen, not one miniscule bit. but seriously, read the article and then get back here......Okay, now, to my point...

The Christian church, so eager to get new converts in a country where it is forbidden is only trying to further its own causes and line its own coffers. Don't try to convert their faith, the women and children of Yemen are in dire, dire circumstances. Christian missionaries use the front of educational and health programs to "spread the good word".

Oh, how about for once you put your money where your damned mouth is and spread the word about education and women's rights so 10 year old little girls like Nujood Ali don't have to escape and take a cross town bus to a courthouse alone and ask for a divorce so she can stop being raped and beaten by her husband!

A new religion is not what Yemen needs. And with all honesty, may I say, whatever religion young Nujood was raised with, her spirit is just fine. I only wish that the people who have taken up her cause help her to the education and free life that she deserves.

If Miss Ali's face isn't enough to make you want to go outside and smile to the sun or moon or feel the rain on your face, go do it anyway, and be glad that you have a choice.

If you feel you don't have a choice....hear me....YOU DO. It may take time, and you may need help, but your mind is your own. Do not let anybody take that.

Buying [url=http://www.thomassabosaleukshop.co.uk]thomas sabo[/url] online can save you from the hassle of leaving your house to get a conventional shopping spree. You can find two ways to shop on line: via a store's official [url=http://www.monclersale4uk.com]moncler jackets uk[/url] or through an online auction web site. Shopping at a website offers you a larger selection of designs and sizes than the retailer. For instance, the turtleneck which you have to have within a size five is additional likely to be in stock at the on the web retailer than at a frequent boutique shop. It is possible to shop anytime which makes it advantageous for those who've a busy schedule. You also conserve up on fuel and cash, since you do not need to devote funds on gas or fare.

The mark-up on diamonds is to be expected once you look at the fact that dealers need to cover their own costs whilst also generating a profit. They have to deal with quite a few different expenses and these wind up coming out of your pocket at the end with the day. For this reason alone [url=http://www.thomasfashionshop.com]thomas sabo[/url] makes sense to do your shopping on the web after you are searching for very good good quality engagement rings at a superb value.

On the net [url=http://www.topclarisonicmiasale.com]clarisonic mia[/url] don't have these expenses to feel about. The savings they get pleasure from can then be passed on to their customers. Any time you obtain your diamond rings on the internet, it is possible to expect to enjoy savings of up to 20%, which is considerable.

[url=http://www.uggbootssaleonlineshop.com]ugg sale uk[/url] Assuming you have got decided to buy a ring, your next step is to decide how considerably you're prepared to devote. It really is always a good idea to visit some local stores to find out how substantially they charge for the type of ring you want to obtain. This will let you make comparisons any time you turn your attention to on the net retailers.

Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?

I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future
but I'm having a difficult time

making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is

because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something
completely

unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

The organization provides a single [url=http://nhommuagiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]cung mua gia re[/url] for each working day in each and every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon operates as an assurance deal using ThePoint's program: if a particular quantity of guys and ladies indication up for the source, then the offer gets accessible to all if the predetermined minimum is not accomplished, no a single will get the supply that functioning day. This minimizes risk for suppliers, who can offer with the discount codes as volume discount prices as effectively as profits advertising and marketing assets. Groupon will help make funds by striving to hold roughly 50 % the income the client pays for the coupon.

For instance, an $eighty therapeutic therapeutic massage could be acquired by the shopper for $40 by way of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would split the $forty. That is, the retailer offers a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get all around $20 from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% split up). Or, if $240 worth of home portray companies is purchased by the consumer for $fifty by way of Groupon, then the company gets $20 five and Groupon retains $twenty 5. The consumer receives the therapeutic therapeutic massage, or the residence painting support, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they originally paid out out $40 (or $50) to Groupon. There are certain organizations to which Groupon at first did not provide its solutions, such as capturing ranges and strip golf equipment even so, capturing ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

As opposed to labeled promoting and advertising, the service provider does not shell out any upfront cost to take part: Groupon collects personalized information from inclined customers and then contacts only individuals buyers, mostly by every day e mail, who could perhaps be intrigued in a specific solution or company.

Groupon employs a large quantity of copywriters who draft descriptions for the provides showcased by e-mail and on the website. Groupon's advertising text for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing concern to the acceptance of the web site, that includes a exclusive blend of complete straightforward fact-checking and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market place place getting to be mainly composed of girl buyers, the discount rates are usually focused on the wellness, physical fitness and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are most likely issues with the enterprise design. For instance, a profitable offer could temporarily swamp a tiny business with as well several consumers, jeopardizing a probability that consumers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be adequate product to satisfy up with the need. Hole, a huge outfits retailer, was capable to deal with 445,000 price cut codes in a countrywide offer (even though it educated server difficulties at 1 certain amount), but a scaled-down sized company could flip out to be abruptly flooded with purchasers. One particular specific coffee shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in clients for a couple of months, when it offered shut to one,000 Groupons on the one particular particular day it was supplied, in accordance to 1 report. In response to equivalent problems, Groupon officers condition that 'deal' subscriptions should to be capped in progress to a realistic selection.
