Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Isaiah 37:29- "Because your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will make you return by the way you came."

The Assyrians often led their captives by ropes attached to hooks in their noses.

At an archaeological discovery at a palace of Sargon II at Dur Sharrukin (modern Khorsabad) in Iraq, there were sculptures found which depicted prisoners who had iron rings thrust through their lower lips.Cords were attached to these rings so that they could be led or held with ease.

I can hardly wait until certain posters discover this, and blame it on George W. Bush.
