Denise Lloyd Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 I was talking to somebody the other day who is just about to start at Swansea Uni and strangely enough got onto the subject of Freedom Church. She said they were nothing but a nuisance hanging around outside Primark trying to get trade. They know exactly which shop to target - a students haven

Denise Lloyd Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Bungospoon if you hang around there will be plenty going for a 1p on Amazon no doubt
Cambo Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Prob opt for the Kindle version to avoid benefiting FC too much. Personally I wouldn't give them any money at all…but that's not to say I would not read it, I just wouldn't pay too…but it's your choice so please do go for the cheapest option possible…I will look forward to your review bungospoon?!
bungospoon Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe our local library could stock it Cambo? (If it was open!) Interesting that Rachel Gardner has done a foreward for the book, who I know has written some good resources for young ladies and who is nationally respected.

Cambo through your Council and for that matter Income Tax I would think you donate quite a bit to this business
Cambo Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 Never heard of Rachel Gardner before this, but I do noticed she studied at London school of theology so she moves in the same circles & more than likely they are friends? Perry Noble is a friend of hers & he too has written a forward but I would not trust him as far as I could throw him! As far as porn addiction goes i do not think it is nowhere as near or as bad as drug addiction,alcoholism or gambling in my book that really can wreck peoples lives!! That is not to say porn does not affect some people I'm sure it does? But has karin Cooke written this book because she now feels guilt that she ever looked at porn?since she became a born again Christian? or is it simply to turn a coin?…maybe it's the social worker in her?…it also makes me wonder what sort of porn she was looking at to feel so guilty?…because not all porn is bad in my opinion! If your wondering do I look at & watch porn then the answer is yes I do from time to time but it does not make me feel guilty about it thou! But I will say that minors should not be exposed to any of it & parents should be more mindful to what there kids get up too online,especially as there are online predators looking to groom unsuspecting kids!
Denise Lloyd Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 All so that we do some real good and offer homes to the poor migrants but no alas of course it is FC and they do not things like unless there is some ***** ***** in it for them
bungospoon Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Cambo, I would put porn addiction as destructive as gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc, and certainly more prevalent. It has been proven to rewire neural pathways. I believe it contributes to marital break ups, suicides and too early sexualisation of our children. With it so easily available nowadays on pc's and smartphones I dread to think what our kids are looking at in the playground. Whilst some may be less 'harmful, the predisposition in many is that normal stuff soon becomes mudane, driving the user to looking at more extreme and sinister stuff. This may not be the rule for some people, but for others I believe to be true.
Cambo Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 I would have to disagree I do not see it being more prevalent to drugs alcoholism or gambling addiction? I would not put it in the top ten of addictions personally…I'd also say death rates are much higher for those 3 than porn in my opinion .…although I will agree that it could lead to marital break ups in some cases but I would say that that is rare?…suicides even rarer I'd of thought?…unless your classing accidental death too? That happens where a kinky game has gone wrong with someone who is into asphyxia like Michael hutchence the from inxs singer or some form of BDSM that can & does happen I guess? But I'd of thought the effects you are talking about along with STD's would be more relevant to those working within the sex industries rather then that of most porn user? I agree with you about the kids being able to get hold of it online much to easy for them to do so. Something needs to be done about that,parents also need to be more vigilant…but sexualisation is everywhere not just in porn! In some maybe it does become mundane but in most I'd think not ? At the end of the day you can become addicted to almost anything it becomes a kind of routine so some addictions are much more dangerous than other forms of dependencies but any addiction can be a unpleasant one to have,it comes down to the individual there addiction & how they deal with it from day to day so if there's a book for those unfortunate to become addicted to porn then they may find comfort in karins book?…only sales will tell?
Denise Lloyd Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 Bungospoon do you think that the author of the book has personal experience of porn. Was she exposed to a pornographic situation in her personal life/her professional life or did one of her acquaintances enjoy a little porn? So often people who write books like this have personal experience so feel compelled and indeed write a very good book. It puzzles me where Jesus comes into it - pornographic material was not in abundance during his short life and I personally do not like to see his name used in vane.
Cambo Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 This is what I'm saying…touché Pope Francis http://ringoffireradio.com/2015/09/pope-francis-smacks-down-churches-if-you-dont-accept-refugees-then-pay-taxes-like-all-busines/
bungospoon Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 I see FC are releasing a music album next month....
Denise Lloyd Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Hopefully it has been well promoted in New York and London. Let's hope it sells millions of copies and the proceeds can then be donated to something really genuinely charitable.
Cambo Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 I see FC are releasing a music album next month....Why you thinking of getting a copy bungospoon? You might be able to get it on iTunes? Although Christian rock is not my cup of tea, I expect they have a bit of a cult following it!! I wonder if there be doing a song for Christmas…no doubt if they do it will all be for charity that's FC charity of course?
Denise Lloyd Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 I expect Bungospoon is doing a solo = wonder what the best Christmas tune would be that epitomises the work of FC
bungospoon Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 Not sure I'll be getting a copy and certainly not singing on it Denise, unless you fancy a duet

Colin James Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I notice that the sign outside the old cinema reads LET, I was under the impression that they had bought the place?
Cambo Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I notice that the sign outside the old cinema reads LET, I was under the impression that they had bought the place? No I think it's still owned by the McGuire family Colin,so they are only leasing as far as I'm aware although they have put up there conningsby street building for sale…I noticed a lot of trade men's vans outside must be removing all there fittings & fixtures? Also they have been asking for volunteers to help out…all while pasta G is in the USA meeting up with his inspirational leader perry noble probable looking to get more cash???
Denise Lloyd Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I do so miss the up and down arrows. Nice little move for Ms King taking all the training and knowledge gained from HC onto another post. I am amazed that HC haven't got a clause in their employment contracts whereby an employee can't strike up somewhere else straight away. Cor blimey 40 years ago I worked for a company where if you were say a Contract Engineer you could not go and work for a competitor for quite a period of time.

Arrows have been removed on a trail period Denise, if the demand it there I can easily return them. I may run a poll to see the view of the members.
Cambo Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 FC Swansea recently celebrated there 1st year…Gary Snowzell posted this on twitter & Instagram Although I think he's trying to spin it,as a bit of a success? I'm not so sure it has been as successful as he'd of prayed for?…hardly storming Swansea?
Cambo Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Jo kings new job at home for good…interesting to see that one of the trustees is a Rachel Gardner the same Rachael Gardner who wrote a forward for karin cooke's book dangerous honesty so did jo king get made redundant from HC or did she get headhunted?
Denise Lloyd Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Or was she made redundant and head hunted - lucky girl if that is the case. I can only liken them to flies around meat or wasps around a honey pot
