The Life Of Brian (Kelly)

[Pittwater Legend]

Lucky you @BOZO

Nobody on ST has ever offered to root me.

Maybe dropping “MAD” from your username will bring a change of luck in the love stakes

 

[Harvies elbow]

To save the universe and Manly and whether Trent Barrett stays or goes ......

The Trent staying line up is looking a little threadbare...

If this character with no physical father did live and was a threat to the roman empire / jewish status quo perhaps a deal was cast where the emporer let him esape to France with his wife and children and yet pretend to have sacrificed himself on the cross to save humanity? This would have helped to have him appear as a saviour.
Interesting that the cross symbol only began to be used by the catholic church hundreds of years later once they started to re-write their bible and allow the population to read it ( well the ones that they let learn to read).

Fun fact: the cross symbol as we know it is historically inaccurate - that ‘t’ shaped cross is an Italian cross; the Romans used either an X shape, or a single beam that was propped against a tree or wall.

Likewise, the ‘crucifixion wounds’ in the hands and feet are incorrect - nails were driven through the wrists and ankles. Stigmata are actually a really interesting study in how powerful the human brain can be, psychosomatically speaking.

Oh, and the mechanism of death via crucifixion? It’s basically asphyxiation, not dissimilar to what happens when someone suffocates from having a dozen coppers kneeling on their chest. Essentially, you get to a point where you can no longer support your body weight suspended by your arms, and your chest wall pretty much collapses and caves in on itself. Can think of better ways to die!

Was Jesus born from an egg also ?
Jeez, its easy to hurt feelings these days.

No that was MONKEY!

On a mountain top no less.

Fun fact Yoka???
Geez may I never have the misfortune of going to your place on a Saturday night for a barbie and a game of uno, getting p*ssed and ending up being the life of the party on your backyard crucifix.
What's next on the agenda?
A spot of waterboarding and a game of stoning?
Mind you if I'm not going to be the 'star of the show' I'm in...

 

[BOZO]

I'm really suprised that a poster such as yourself, who is happy to call human beings "cancers on the group", etc, etc., then cannot handle being alluded to as a fool.

I never mentioned your name specifically as a fool, but if the shoe fits.....

The fact is .I have never called any Silvertails member cancer on this forum .
I used cancer as a reference as to our failing 5/8 that was affecting our team . Meaning his inept play was cancerous .
I have given you advice. Don't call people fool to their face because you will one day run out of luck as there will be no forum referee to save you .
Speaking of the shoe fitting .
If you cant walk the walk don't fcking talk the talk mate
I hope you are not a fool and your smart enough to know what I mean . Other wise life will teach you lesson

I’m sure plenty of people would be up for a spot of backyard stoning!

Oh, it's blessed are the MEEK! Oh, I'm glad they're getting something, they have a hell of a time.

Ohhhhh I love a good backyard stoning ..... 5 medium flat stones, 5 pebbles and a packet of gravel for me.

First up is Trent Barrett.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I wonder what Kelly thinks of Barrett?

 

[Wombat64]

I watched that movie again recently for the gazillionth time ..... so glad it's now on Netflix.

Stoned Trent?

Well, I guess that would go some way towards explaining the season we’ve just endured...

I remember going to the cinema to watch it, a few of my mates didn't go as it was such a sacrilegious movie. The principal at my very catholic school the same year left his order as he was discovered with the school secretary away on a weekend taking dictation.

You told these people to eat my juniper berries. You break my bloody foot. You break my vow of silence, and then you try and clean up on my juniper bushes!

There is a difference between criticism of opinions and personal attacks like calling someone a fool , and being born from an egg
I accept criticism of my opinion but no one should except personal attacks .
Questions to the @Referee and the video ref @lsz
In your interpretation of fair forum play
1. Can you acknowledge the difference between criticism of an opinion and a personal attack ?
2. Are personal attacks on Silvertail forum members such as fools, Queens fcken wackos , fools and born from an egg acceptable on this forum
I would appreciate a clarification on the fair forum play

@mave . I will give you some advice .
I hope you dont call any one a fool to their face mate because one day you are going to run out of luck

Hey Queenie ..... not again with this moronic nonsense about your opinion being the issue .... read this slowly ,,... y o u r - o p i n i o n - i s - n o t - t h e - i s s u e ... are you really that simple, that you cannot understand that the real issue is your constant, unrelenting obsessional bagging of a good young man in nearly every single threat regardless of topic on this site ...

Somebody only had to post that Kelly made a good play ... for you in your madness to jump in and start bagging the crap out of him.

You have gone to the extent of calling Kelly a stain on the Manly jersey .... you are a despicable fool ...

Hey @Woodsie , we may have just missed out on wooden spoon, but this one is for you brother...

 

[lurker]

I love irony so I picked a few of these

He said two things important to me.
Treat each other with respect and don't judge.
To the son of god question he mostly said what do you think, to the questioner.
A lot of what has been said by churches is bs.
He wasn't keen on them either. And nor am I.

I’m not saying you do Harvey but isn’t it ironic that many of the judgiest people you meet are people with hardcore religious beliefs. To me half of religion seems to be about people concerning themselves with other people’s business. E.g. abortions are wrong, how dare you have a same sex relationship that doesn’t affect me. Kinda ironic really that some people move round their entire life more concerned about what other people are or aren’t doing wrong (while their priests are touching people up)

People are turning to Jesus all around the world. Especially muslims that leave the middle east. Iv never been mocked for believing in God.. maybe you need to surround yourself with more enlightened folk . Another example is Saul of tarsus aka Paul the apostle of God. He went from hunting Christians to becoming arguably the most important. He even persecuted the disciples who later called him brother. Paul was also beheaded for his preaching of Christ

Another ironic example. How does your Christian faith gel with the fact that you don’t let anything go and regularly enter the gutter to respond to people with some at times quite nasty language?

The fact is .I have never called any Silvertails member cancer on this forum .
I used cancer as a reference as to our failing 5/8 that was affecting our team . Meaning his inept play was cancerous .

Speaking of the shoe fitting .
If you cant walk the walk don't fcking talk the talk mate
I hope you are not a fool and your smart enough to know what I mean . Other wise life will teach you lesson

And lastly irony no.3. Bozo you constantly lecture or “enlighten” people that they need to walk the walk. All from behind a keyboard. Unless you’re the biggest, fastest, strongest guy out there then just pipe down because there’s probably a **** load of people that could sit you on your arse haha.

The very thing you are saying to other people should be said to you. All these implicit threats are just pathetic because you are never going to do ****

Interesting that the cross symbol only began to be used by the catholic church hundreds of years later once they started to re-write their bible and allow the population to read it ( well the ones that they let learn to read).

By his wife, you mean Mary Magdalene. There is a lot of evidence to suggest they were very close. I might even go further and say that the book of John, when you study the writing styles, looks very much like it could have been written by Mary. To suggest that Jesus left with Mary to go to France......? After being sentenced to be scourged, then eventually crucified by Pontius Pilate...well, it would have to have been carried out well, and all the key figures would have had to have been bloody good actors. It's interesting that women are featured so prominently as witnesses to the flogging and crucifixion, in a time where they had little role in pretty much anything. His mum and the two Mary's (Magdalene and the mother of James and Joseph) witnessed and rsponded accordingly.

But then again...that's what Jesus did. He was different from all the other previous religions in that he didn't distinguish between sexes, class or community standing. He taught pure love for all, from the lowest to the highest. Such an interesting bloke. He offered love, healing and eternal life for believers, yet new there would be divisions. Study HIM...not the church. IMO, churches will lead you astray. Not on purpose...but by not concentrating on his teachings. I like this from Mathew 10...

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. – Jesus (Matthew 10:34-38)

As for the cross symbol..it wasn't used as a symbol openly until the 4th century after the Emperor Constantine converted to christianity and founded the roman catholic church. He abolished crucifixion and the cross was used to promote the cause. Before that, christians used the chi rho. It was superimposing the first two letters of the greek word XPIETOE which was the greek word for christ. Since the 4th century there have been many variations on the cross. Much like Jesus's teachings.


I think Brian will still continue to develop as a player. I really lilke him now, and I think he'll get even better!!
