My mate seems to think British hotels have bibles in their rooms to warn off spirits :cucko:

Bubba po

AFAIK it is the Gideon Society of America that places them free in order to spread the practice of God-Bothering.

moses

it doesnt harm u does it, all it does is sit in the drawers so why bother, if u dont like it dont read it

Chip Sengravy

Always handy if you run out of bog roll

Ray_li

never said it bothers me

A Bible in a hotel draw doesn’t bother me, as moses said you don’t have to read it. It's when they come to your front door "spreading the word of god" that really ****'s me of, normally I just shut the door in their faces without saying a word. Bunch of brain washers if you ask me.

Chip

Moses,
For once I agree with you

From the Gideons website:

"Our objective is to share God’s message of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ by personal witness and through placing Bibles and New Testaments into people’s hands."

Not just British hotels - I've found them in German, Dutch, Italian and Mexican hotels too

moses

its like c;unts complaing about the queen , we dont need her and costs as this much , she is the least of our worries poor girl doesnt cause any problems and only costs us maybe 40p a head a yr when we have scum dole scroungers and alkies on the brew who we have to pay for

its time everyone wakes up and smells the coffee.

im anti bible thumpers but the same time i appreciate what they do, it makes u angry when they come up to your doors but u guys ever thought for a moment those people dont take a wage, with their spare time they believe their doing the work of God and to make people repent and do good instead of evil , their doing it all for free for something they believe in

so even if im anti bible thumpers in the same time as long as they dont offend me or insult my religion or family, i say live and let live


put yourselves in their place and try doing some community work for free like taking care of elders and teaching youth or taking them out to parks or football and to help the handicapped maybe then u can critisize the bible thumpers who r really trying for people to stop sinning unless their born agains, thats a different matter u can stake their ***** no worries

moses

hello luv hows your long nosed hubby

sorry just kidding rich

u know luv the sad thing is when u see these hookers in the mexican streets on tv with a catholic cross round their necks, makes me sad really, why have a faith symbol when u are ******** around

same with **** star woman alot of them have crosses me being a man used to watch them when i was wee

Moses - I can see where you are coming from - very PC

But I certainly can't agree with your last sentence...

Bless you

Mick

moses

lol im def not pc mate, im anti pc and trust me

its just a lil respect for someone who goes out their spare time and dont get paid for it, coz they believe they can help people etc

and lol yes im glad we agree on the born agains they aint even christian, a cult invented imperiliasts and to suit zionism

theirs a big fight happening at the moment between arab christians and born agains

u know since the iraq war ended born again ministers backed by bush as u know he is a member of billy grahams ministry and his son franklin graham an ardent enemy of muslims, well their ministries's r trying to convert the iraqi christians who r greek orthodox, catholic or armenian christians and theirs a fight between the natives and the ministries at the moment, u dont hear about it the normal news papers

Leslie

If you are not ineterested in it just leave in the drawer!

If you don't want to speak to the God Botherers why not just tell them so politely. Good manners never hurt anyone!

Les

moses

ditto

Freak

id rather save it for several years and buy a happy meal.
More useful than some old trout and probabyl better smelling too.

moses

so u dont bother paying for the dole scroungers and chavs that go to ibitha 4 times a yr on oor money

i rather have the queen

Ray_li

Some good points made but why does everybody seems to think I posted " I hate the fockin bible in hotels cuz it p1sses me off"?????????????

Soulgirl

where does the money come from to supply such a vast quantity of bound books?

thundertiger

i once had a "build your own PCB" manual in my hotel drawer

LOL

Ray_li

LOL

no longer designing speed cameras.

thundertiger

just kidding with you ray, hope you are well mate

BB

Listy

Just to clear up all the confusion: -

The Bibles are there to wedge behind the head board for when you're Hammering away on a woman of ill repute after 10 pints of Stella. You know when your mind says "Oh Yes" but your bits just aren't listening..............

They are made specifically of soft cushioning paper and are thick enough to be adjusted for even the biggest Wall to Board Gap

So i'm Told Of-course

Many thanks to Gideons for being so considerate I say

You seemed to misread my comment moses...

I am a 'born again' Christian - there is no other kind. If you trust in Jesus as your saviour you will be born again - that is what makes you a Christian, not living in a Christian country, having Christian parents, going to church.

It's like someone claiming to be a muslim but not believing in Allah.

I would hope that as a fellow human being if you thought I was in the wrong and dooming myself and others to an eternity in hell, that you would try to convince me of where I had gone wrong. Help me see the light, rather than 'stake my ****' or encourage others to do so

The important thing to a Christian is that Jesus is the only way to heaven. He took the punishment for our sins (rebellion against God) and if we turn from our rebellion and accept God's free gift we can go to heaven when these earthly bodies die. The offer is open to anyone.

I don't think many Hotels supply Bibles now. It's deemed Racist. It might offend a person from another religion???????????????????????????????????
Just like it's deemed Racist to fly the St George flag outside your home. Yet any person from another country/religion can fly their flag with pride??

As ever, a voice of reason.

"why not just tell them so politely" or at least grunt politely.

Economists believe that The Royal Family generate more income via tourism, national identity etc. then they cost the tax payer. So whether you're a Republican or Royalist - either way they're profitable.
