DADDY JAY TELLS RIHANNA’S SUITORS TO BACK OFF

According to Rihanna, anyone who wants to spit game to her must go through Jay-Z first. She tells People Magazine:
“I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me,” Rihanna tells People at a Venus Breeze event in New York City. He’s very protective,” she continued, “Jay has my best interests in mind. If it’s a good guy I know Jay won’t shut him down. But if he’s not, Jay will be like, ‘No, no, no.’ ” When asked who some of the potential dates have been she answered, “He actually never tells me. I have no clue who they are and I guess I’ll never know.”

Well Damn! Daddy Jay ain’t playing around!
SOUNDS LIKE A JUSTIFIED BEATDOWN TO ME
TIMBALAND spent an hour behind bars in Germany early yesterday morning after a bar fight.
Word is, Tim was temporarily held in custody in Cologne after a fight in the city left a 29-year-old Croatian man in hospital with injuries to his rib cage and multiple bruises. Cologne police spokesperson Juergen Goebel says eye witnesses confirmed a heated argument between Timbaland - real name Timothy Mosley - and an unidentified man in the bar of the Intercontinental Hotel at 11.30pm Saturday night (10Jun07). The pair took their argument outside where it allegedly escalated into violence, with members of Timbaland’s entourage also reportedly joining in.
Sources claim the brawl began when Timbaland began flirting with the man’s girlfriend. Everything was cool until the unidentified man blurted out the N-WORD. According to Goebel, Timbaland was questioned and held in custody for approximately one hour. He was later released.
WHY IS THIS SHOW STILL ON ANYWAY??

Looks like the new host of “The View” is going to be Whoopi Goldberg, “As far as everyone at ABC is concerned, she has the job. They have been meeting with Kathy Griffin, Roseanne Barr, Ricki Lake and Gayle King. “While Kathy was a strong contender, Whoopi has won everyone over.
“Everyone is acting like Whoopi already has the gig,” the show insider says.
“Whoopi has a radio show, she lives in NYC and she is an institution there. She also is liberal and outspoken but not crazy like Rosie was. She will be a perfect fit as far as the ladies on “The View” are concerned.

Why are you so offended by the order stipulated in the Bible for the man and woman? Now you starting another argument with NikkiLluvbug? What happened to the Color Purple, lol? I think that it may have more to do with your own self-image than anything else. I’m not even going to go into any scriptures on that because there are a myriad of them, throughout the entire Bible, that tell you how the man and woman should treat each other. I don’t have to put on an act and then talk about finger-poppin’ some chick, hitting on married women, or “chatting” with 14 year olds, lmao.
That nonsense about the sword as opposed to the “white man’s guns” (once again you bringing them up, lol) was, as expected, retarded. You exposed yourself when you said that the sword can’t defeat the gun because the “sword” is the Word (Eph 6:17). You’re not really a believer in the Word, that’s why you talk about God but you don’t know anything. You’re so infatuated with your god’s guns, missiles, and bombs (like the Bible said you would be, Rev 13:4) that you believe that it’s impossible for Christ to defeat him with the Sword. The scriptures said that he will (Rev 19:11-21). Brother, honestly, it’s getting tedious going back and forth with you because you’re not coming back with any knowledge. Debate is good and fun but only if both parties can corroborate what they represent. You can’t and it’s killing you so, like a gainsayer, you just have to say something.

Meat, When I said there was no arguing, I was specifically talking about the women who came together to prepare Jesus’ body for burial. During that time the women did not argue. They had one agenda. And of course, I speak well when I am talking to my babies. Is it wrong to explain what I read in today’s terms? IMO, thats why ALOT of our young people are not coming to Christ. They dont understand. If I have a little boy in my class, and I am teaching him about sin and salvation. Forgiveness and judgement or what have you. And he asks me a question like “My daddy is in jail. Can he go to heaven too. He is a sinner.” I give them examples of people in the bible that may have done something wrong or out of order. And how God will forgive them. I dont use some of the terms in the KJV to explain the topic to them. They dont get it. I explain it in the language we use today. And some of these kids still dont get it. My church is in a rough part of town. Of course I dont say chicks or da bomb. I speak well to them. And even then some of them say “Ms. Nikki why u talk like a white lady?” or “My momma dont talk like u” So I cant go in actin all high class. I get down on the floor and play with them if they want to sit on the floor and read. BUT right now or at that time I was speaking in a different arena! IT REALLY AINT THAT DEEP! IF I WANT TO REFER TO THE WOMEN AS CHICKS, IS IT REALLY WORTH A physchoanalytical DISERTATION. Its a BLOG!!!!! I dont come here for spiritual inhancement. And NOONE can sway my beleifs. That is why I read my bible daily!
Be blessed Meat!

Sara ~ What woman did I degrade? Tell Alexander Walker the Johnny Walker said everyone is responsible for their own self-esteem!
______________________________________________________
Is that a joke or a cliche? Are you trying to imply that the name “Lisa” is ghetto?
Lisa is english and the short form of Elizabeth
Sara is biblical (you should know that)
Aisha is arabic and it means “alive”.
None of them say “from a ghetto near you…”
My name: Stephanie Hautia Hauda Lynn Pullum
Stephanie is a variation of Stephen after my father which was named after christiann matyre (misspelled) Stephen
Hautia is arabic for gift.
Hauda means religious leader in arabic a variation of hadi
Lynn means lake after my mother Vicki lynn
Pullum means body surrounded by water.
My name was percise and thought out because I was always tauhgt my origin.
Point: Not all black women have the process of naming are children after liquor embedded in our DNA. If so what’s your name?
PS I do not believe you try to degrade women, but you do offend them from time to time. If it were a joke, carry on and disregard.

Now, you keep saying that I have nothing to contribute to your vast knowledge and wisdom, so why do you keep responding? I really don’t need to hear from you, because I prefer to just blow the whistle when I hear you spreading your fertilizer on others! I’m cool with that!
But, you keep coming back, because you know that I’m right! It’s easy to see through your ish, because you either go back into the Old Testament and dig up traditions and customs or you misrepresent the meaning of Revelations! You don’t have the gift of prophesy or insight into the future!

You see that sister. Alot of that Christian church revolves around a cult mentality. They don’t like people to ask questions or do research. That’s why the U.S. government provides so much money to the church system every year. He said he gonna tell you, “get thee behind me”, lol. For what?
When the great football player Reggie White retired from football he decided that he wanted to have a greater understanding of the scriptures. He started to study Hebrew 10 hours a day and after a while, he stopped celebrating Christmas and Easter and all those other pagan holidays that this society has taught our people has to do with Christ. He visited Israel on archaeological digs and he did his own historical research. He started to keep the Lord’s high holy days like the Passover, New Moons, Feast of Tabernacles, etc (which Christ kept). Don’t you know that the top black pastors in North Carolina railed against the brother as an anti-Christ. That’s some of the weak, mob mentality that permeates many of these black churches. Don’t get me wrong, I know many great brothers and sisters in the church and I know many off people that believe what I believe. If the Bible says one thing and you’re doing another because of what you’re being taught by a man, something is rotten in Denmark.

There’s nothing wrong with relating the Bible into terms that people can understand. Meat talkin’ about “watering down the Word” and this cat doesn’t know any scriptures, lol. Paul said he became “all things to all men” (I Cor 9:22), meaning he could relate to cats. You’re absolutely right. The church has alienated the young black/hispanic man and woman with their supreme attitude and the black/hispanic man has turned to gangs for that support system.

I believe Nikki is a Christian! Now Nikki, what do you think Judah is? He’s too embarassed to say, because the cat will be out of the box and all his attempts to skirt around the New Testament will be null and void! His cult can’t stand on Grace! They needs Old Testament traditions to control the flock!
And, if you’re gonna talk to Nikki about Reggie White, it seems fair to me that you would tell her that he’s no longer with us! And, that he extended his football career with seriods, but it shortened his life!
Then, after you tell her about all the pagan holidays he stopped celebrating, you should tell her that the New Testament tells us to “let no man condemn you in the day(s) that you celebrate”. Give the whole truth and stop calling people who are above you…”niggas”!
Judah said: “…I know many great brothers and sisters in the church and I know many off people that believe what I believe.”

Please tell me that was a typo, or are you conceding? There are “many off people that believe what you believe”! I believe that! You spoke in an unknown tongue on that one! hehe! Flesh and blood did not reveal that to you!

meat, thanks however, I am well read! I am up on most current events . Reggie white died some time in 04. I am an avid football fan! Dallas has been my team since I was 4 or 5. I am true to them win or lose! And, I am one of those people that doesnt judge a man if his religious beliefs. i will encourage him to come to Christ. But the rest is up to him . The bible tells us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. That means, to me NIKKI, I must chose to serve the Lord. I will stand before him for my life and the same for others. So I reaLLY dont care if you, Judah or anyone else calls themselves Jehovah witnesses, muslims, budist, baptist , methodist, penecostal, holiness, whatever. FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT IS WHY I READ AND STUDY FOR MYSELF. SO THAT NO MAN CAN DECIEVE ME! OR BULLY ME INTO BELIEVING WHAT HE THINKS IS RIGHT.

Brother, I wrote damn near a biography for you the last time you asked me what I believe in. I don’t believe in any “religion” because God did not give us “religion”, he gave us laws (Lev 26:46). The black people brought over to the Americas on slave ships are the Israelites of the Bible, as the scripture prophesied (Deut 28:68). The blacks, hispanics, and Native Americans are the Israelites. If I’m a Muslim, why would I pick a screen name like Judah (which is hebrew). Lol. The Muslims don’t understand the Bible or the Koran. You seem to have a problem with languages, including english. All these sisters, that you allegedly know how to treat from “The Color Purple”, have had to instruct you on the meaning and derivation of their name to stop you from disrespecting them. When have I ever skirted around the New Testament? Your multiple personality cats are delusional, lmao. I’ve quoted scriptures from the Old and New Testament from Genesis to Revelation. If that’s the case, you must be an atheist because I’ve never seen you quote ONE SCRIPTURE. When you allude to a biblical scripture or precept you tell an outright lie.
You’re damn right, there are off people in what I believe in because they’re men and women. The Most High weeds them out because he never wanted them from the start(I John 2:19). Just like they’re off people in the church. They’re are going to be off people in any doctrine. What makes the church off is not the people, it’s the false teachings. It’s based in satanism, from the use of the cross, to Sunday as the holy day, to the white Christ, the pagan holidays, so on and so forth (Rev 13:4-8). The Bible is a prop in the church, not a tool. That’s why cats like you run your mouth but don’t know anything, lol. Elijah Muhammad, Louis Farrakhan, Creflo Dollar, and T.D Jakes are all 33rd degree masons. They all work for Satan, it doesn’t matter what religion they are.
BTW, Reggie White did not die from no damn steroids. He was killd by the Israeli Mossad. Hypothetically speaking, if he did die from steroids, what the hell does that have to do with him studying the Word in the spirit of truth?

Reggie White died basically from being overweight and chronic lung disease. But here is one of the medical findings that caused his death.
Just for u meat….I know u like to read!!!
Sarcoidosis (also called sarcoid or Besnier-Boeck disease) is an immune system disorder characterised by non-caseating granulomas (small inflammatory nodules). Virtually any organ can be affected; however, granulomas most often appear in the lungs (D86.0) or the lymph nodes (D86.1). Symptoms can occasionally appear suddenly but usually appear gradually. When viewing X-rays of the lungs, sarcoidosis can have the appearance of tuberculosis or lymphoma.
Epidemiology
Sarcoidosis occurs throughout the world in all races. It is more commonly seen in people of African descent than Caucasians, primarily people of northern European descent in the latter case. Pulmonary involvement is the most common presentation of sarcoidosis, but it can manifest in any organ.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can affect any organ. Common symptoms are vague, such as fatigue unchanged by sleep, lack of energy, weight loss, aches and pains, arthralgia, dry eyes, blurry vision, shortness of breath, a dry hacking cough or skin lesions. The cutaneous symptoms vary, and range from rashes and noduli (small bumps) to erythema nodosum or lupus pernio. It is often asymptomatic.
The combination of erythema nodosum, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and arthralgia is called Lofgren syndrome. This syndrome has a relatively good prognosis.
Renal, liver (including portal hypertension), heart or brain involvement may cause further symptoms and altered functioning. Manifestations in the eye include uveitis and retinal inflammation, which may result in loss of visual acuity or blindness. Sarcoidosis affecting the brain or nerves is known as neurosarcoidosis.
The combination of anterior uveitis, parotitis and fever are called Heerfordt-Waldenstrom syndrome.
Investigations
Hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) and its symptoms may be the result of excessive vitamin D production.
Sarcoidosis most often manifests as a restrictive disease of the lungs, causing a decrease in lung volume and decreased compliance (the ability to stretch). The disease typically limits the amount of air drawn into the lungs, but produces higher than normal expiratory flow ratios. The vital capacity (full breath in, to full breath out) is decreased, and most of this air can be blown out in the first second. This means the FEV1/FVC ratio is increased from the normal of about 80%, to 90%. Obstructive lung changes, causing a decrease in the amount of air that can be exhaled, may occur when enlarged lymph nodes in the chest compress airways or when internal inflammation or nodules impede airflow.
Chest X-ray changes are divided into four stages
Stage 1 bihilar lymphadenopathy
Stage 2 bihilar lymphadenopathy and reticulonodular infiltrates
Stage 3 bilateral infiltrates
Stage 4 fibrocystic sarcoidosis typically with upward hilar retraction, cystic & bullous changes
Because sarcoidosis can affect multiple organ systems, follow-up on a patient with sarcoidosis should always include an EKG, ophthalmologic exam, liver function tests, serum calcium and 24-hour urine calcium.
Causes and pathophysiology
No direct cause of sarcoidosis has been identified, although there have been reports of cell wall deficient bacteria that may be possible pathogens[1]. These bacteria are not identified in standard laboratory analysis. It has been thought that there may be a hereditary factor because some families have multiple members with sarcoidosis. To date, no reliable genetic markers have been identified, and an alternate hypothesis is that family members share similar exposures to environmental pathogens. There have also been reports of transmission of sarcoidosis via organ transplants[2].
Sarcoidosis frequently causes a dysregulation of vitamin D production with an increase in extrarenal (outside the kidney) production. [3]. Specifically, macrophages inside the granulomas convert vitamin D to its active form, resulting in elevated levels of the hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and symptoms of hypervitaminosis D that may include fatigue, lack of strength or energy, irritability, metallic taste, temporary memory loss or cognitive problems. Physiological compensatory responses (e.g. suppression of the parathyroid hormone levels) may mean the patient does not develop frank hypercalcemia.
Sarcoidosis has been associated with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a condition in which there is a chronic reaction to certain protein chains, commonly referred to as glutens, found in some cereal grains. This reaction causes destruction of the villi in the small intestine, with resulting malabsorption of nutrients.
[edit] Treatment
Corticosteroids, most commonly prednisone, have been the standard treatment for many years. In some patients, this treatment can slow or reverse the course of the disease, but other patients unfortunately do not respond to steroid therapy. The use of corticosteroids in mild disease is controversial because in many cases the disease remits spontaneously.[citation needed] Additionally, corticosteroids have many recognized dose- and duration-related side effects (which can be reduced through the use of alternate-day dosing for those on chronic prednisone therapy [5]), and their use is generally limited to severe, progressive, or organ-threatening disease. The influence of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants on the natural history is unclear.
Severe symptoms are generally treated with steroids, and steroid-sparing agents such as azathioprine and methotrexate are often used. Rarely, cyclophosphamide has also been used. As the granulomas are caused by collections of immune system cells, particularly T cells, there has been some early indications of success using immunosuppressants, interleukin-2 inhibitors or anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha treatment (such as infliximab). Unfortunately, none of these have provided reliable treatment and there can be significant side effects such as an increased risk of reactivating latent tuberculosis.
Avoidance of sunlight and Vitamin D foods may be helpful in patients who are prone to developing hypercalcemia.
Antibiotic therapy has been reported to be effective for lung, lymph and cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis[6] but this therapy is not currently the standard of care. On March 28, 2006, the U.S. FDA Office of Orphan Products Development designated minocycline in the treatment of sarcoidosis,[1]

Excellent scripture but unfortunately, you’re not King David. Lol. In the scriptures the word “heart” is a metaphor for your mind (I Sam 1:13). David said that the Word was in his heart because he profusely STUDIED it (Psa 1:1,2, Psa 119:15). When you read the 119th Psalm, David reiterates over and over that he meditated, meaning studied, the Word. How can the Lord’s Word be in your heart when you don’t know any scriptures but still want to teach, lol. You say “heart” because you’re trying to make it an emotional thing again.

The term steroids is often misunderstood. Corticosteroids (a class of drugs used to treat arthritis and many other conditions) are often just called “steroids”. So what’s in a name? Confusion results when they are mistaken for anabolic steroids (drugs used by athletes to boost strength and enhance physical performance). What is the difference between anabolic steroids and corticosteroids?
A.
What is a “Steroid”?
According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the term “steroid” is a chemical name for any substance that has a characteristic chemical structure consisting of multiple chemical rings of connected atoms. Some common examples of steroids are:
Vitamin D
cholestrol
estrogen
cortisone
Steroids are critical for keeping the body running smoothly. Various steroids have important roles in the body’s reproductive system and both the structure and function of membranes.
What are Anabolic Steroids?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, anabolic steroids are synthetic substances related to the male sex hormones (androgens). They promote growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effect) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects).
The proper term for these compounds actually is “anabolic / androgenic” steroids:
“anabolic” refers to muscle-building
“androgenic” refers to increased masculine characteristics
“steroids” refers to the class of drugs
Anabolic steroids are available legally only by prescription, to treat conditions that occur when the body produces abnormally low amounts of testosterone, such as delayed puberty and some types of impotence. They are also prescribed to treat body wasting in patients with AIDS and other diseases that result in loss of lean muscle mass.
Anabolic steroids are being abused by some athletes and others to enhance performance or improve physical appearance.

Then u want to “protect” me from Judah! Just like church folks! Cast ‘em out cuz she doesnt speak like me, her dress too short, she’s too cute, she smiles too much, Shes an unwed mother! I am not as closed minded as u r! If Judah doesnt attend church or has different beliefs then that is his situation! Who says our/ my interpretation is the ONLY/right interpretation! We are all praying that when the day of judgement comes that God has mercy on us! People have been waring over their religious beliefs for generations! U know what I think…. on the day that we see the creator, I think he is going to crack up laughing! I think He is going to be like u were all right! Maybe we all have some of the details wrong! I think we do! I think that is why I am tired of negroes like urself! wanting to talk at folks instead of TO them! Traditionalist choking the life out of people like me!

You definitely right about that sis. None of us have all the details. That’s why we have to research, read, study, and communicate so that we can learn as much as possible. All those people that run their mouths about the “Spirit of the Lord” and “God’s in my heart” are usually phony as hell. What they’re really saying is that “I’m my own god and you can’t tell me shit no matter how many facts you have.”

@288 I have allways believed that each of us. When I say us I mean what ever religion u practice. Is partially right. I really believe it’s about what u believe when u read the scripture. True we cant go around starting “churches” based on that premise BUT I dont agree with everything I have heard coming across the pulpit. Does that mean that I will not assemble myself with other believers, absolutely not. But that is the reason I study and I teach my children, the ones from my womb, to read and comprehend what they are reading. The bible is really plain but people are so “deep” and they try to find some meaning by reading “inbetween the lines”! Just read and comprehend the lines! I do the best that I can do as far as my relationship with God. I teach my children that I am accountable for their childhood but once they mature they must decide to serve God and that starts with building a relationship with him! Am I right, I think so. But I really wont know until judgement. All I can do is follow the instructions left for me and pray that I am getting it right. And if I am not, That I have a close enough relationship with him , He will help me!

That’s exactly right, but at the same time the Lord’s Word is clear to those of us that he wants it to be clear to. He will blind others based on their motivations (Isa 44:18, Matt 13:10,11). The reason why you have these intellectual people that are always searching for a “bible code” or they always have the “real breakdown” is because they’re dealing with Satan. The Lord keeps things simple for his servants. Satan like to complicate things. Satan and his servants accomplish their tasks on those people that don’t read and don’t study. When you do study, the only thing people can do is get simple and get emotional because once you can see the demon, the demon stops acting like it’s not a demon.

For other uses, see Blog (disambiguation).
A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order.
Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
