Life / The Polish Way to Ask Questions [41]
The funniest thing for me is when some beggar/drunk asks for money and he starts the question with 'mam prosba'. It cracks me up everytime

Love / Craziness and Polki - these two go together [33]
Crazy??? You serious??? They are extremely timid compared to the Brits. Gdansk, where I live is a ghost town at night compared to British cities on a Sat night. One Polish girl told me she was crazy and I asked her in what way and she told me she went to a prty in Lublin and drove back from the party all in the same day (without drinking of course). I was astounded by the craziness. I witnessed a Polish stag night last weekend in Gdansk and they just sat round, had a meal and went home. Now tell me. are most Poles crazy?? No, they should let themselves go every now and again and stop being so damn serious
These two go together.I mean totally mental or not?What is your opinion?Are they cold blood calculating machines or hot tempered crazy species?

If you're talking about falowce in Gdansk Przymorze, there is nothing to see, and the people who live there certainly wouldn't recommend it. Communism at its greatest

News / IS Poland prepared for what is coming during the Euro 2012? [10]
I am wondering if Poland is prepared for what is coming during the Euro 2012???
I am not talking hooliganism but I'm talking the sheer numbers of people on the streets.
Anyone who has travelled on an English football tour will know that the English love to take over, not in a bad way, they just liven the place up a bit.
Gdansk, after around 10pm is a ghost town, so I cant imagine how the people will react with the streets thronged with revellers to the early hours of the morning.
This, combined with the party mentality of the Spanish and other nations, is going to transform the city for the duration of the football.
Bearing in mind that Poles cannot handle a few lads on a stag night in Krakow, I'd hate to see how they handle the masses

BTW, shouldn`t you write I was the son of God ? Using Present Simple tense in past Reported Speech suggests it is still valid and true.....

That is still disrespect. You went to the beach first, instead of going to church. On Easter Sunday?

Shows how little you know. Thoiose who live Christ dont care what the day is, they just feel the desire to worship. I can imageine Pawian that you are one of these ppl who believe that Church is for Sunday only. A church is a building, worshipping God is a calling, no matter the day.
From your last airbrained arguement, I can see ur one of those who just go through the motions of Church. Read Hebrews and Thesallonians I&II, it will enlighten you
Tuesday isn`t the same as Sunday

Ok I confess, I got up in the middle of the serivce, professed I am the son of God, p****d over everyones easter baskets then took a hot steaming one on the Church steps. Its funny how the woman in the church I was talking about was the husband of a man from Sopot who is famous for taking bribes, he was sat right next to her.
Slowly we will learn everything

They all knew I was foreign, cos I didnt do any of the rediculous cross signs, and the up and down like a yo yo part. I didnt say their prayers either. I think it was the fact that I didnt join in coupled with the fact that I was wearing the shorts. I silently prayed to myelf though, even if it was to ask God that the priest's ogloszenie part didnt drag on too long :-)
It all sounds more and more puzzling. Why have you been keeping it secret so far?

Firstly, if I wish to confess my sins, I get down on my knees and speak directly to Christ. i dont need a man to tell me whether or not my sins are forgiven after Ive made a financial contribution.
Someone who is saved (and I dont just mean a believer) will end up in the same place as a Priest when they die (unkless the Priest is a child abuser in which case he will rot in hell - yep God's man alright).
You know what 'Priests' are called in the protestant church, 'pastors', or 'preachers' who advocate going back to basics, ie prayer and Bible study in order to focus on the path to God. The images and dogma pf the Catholic Church are just a big distraction

The Pharisees believed this, during times of fasting they would paint their faces white to show everyone they fast. Christ heavily criticised this. Did he have a right to do it??? Christ didnt like it and he spoke out about it. Nobody forced Christ to teach against the Pharisees, he chose to do it.
Before some of you dimwits accuse me comparing myself to Christ, read the above post carefully 2 or 3 time if you need to.
Human being express himself in many ways, one of which is a way he/she dresses. Expecting proper dress from people attending mass is only understandable, if somebody doesn't like it I can say only one thing - nobody is forcing you to go there, but if you do - pay respect and dress properly.
Content express itself also in Form.

This it the thing nathan, Christ came to renew the testament, instead of an eye for an eye as the old testament required, Christ told people that if someone striles them they should offer the other cheek. Christ did not come to start a new religion but he came to reform Judaism. The whole point of my posts is to say that if ppl are going to be concerned about what im wearing rather than the message of Easter then Christ died in vain and all his work on trhis planet is now void
You would definitely find one in the Old Testament

Nobody will punish you and you should do as you like, but also you might consider a bit weaknesses of those who cannot pray by seeing beautifully exposed body parts.

Will others accomodate this minor understanding of our needs?

So therefore, why was I judged so harshly??? I believe she can wear what she wants but if you saw a woman dressed like that in the street you would form stereotypes of her as a w***e. Isnt it worse when a woman comes to CHurch dressed like that? What about a man wearing shots in 17 degree heat? If you saw him, what stereotype would you form? I was dressed appropiately for the weather, she was not dressed appropriately for church, for a disco yes, but for a church no
There you go dictating what someone should wear. She may have been dressed inappropriately and if no one else complained then the problem lies in your judgement of her.
