 something about this ...its the language we use the words and meaning;-

consideration by the Councils `Safer Stronger` Community, Sub Committee an Action Plan....eight months delay unilaterally imposed without discussion . . .

ARE WE SLAVES OF CHRIST...another use of words l feel uncomfortable with...

 Slaves even their bodies belonged to owners.
no possions, no home, no stuff ,limited life, no choice.
Understand Paul's cultural explanation ,plus need to be relevant to that time and environment.
However should we alter style of words.

There are many, reliably informed over 150 terms, to word slave or Douala...even servant  reference to 'servant' in new testament is compared to being a freeman, and clearly a reference to slaves. Once again, KING JAMES V use the euphemism 'servant', while the NAB says 'slave':

 Therefore left with a difficult choice - do we accept whats been a word that translate as "slave" and possibly add racist and/or violent overtones. Or do we go with the culture of those times ignoring what we presently hold as different.?

Its part of the working out, understanding,debating and discussion.

good thing is we can do this stuff....we can disagree..we can use words not as weapons..we can grow and develop better. 

 "Is this the most unwelcoming shop in the UK? And they are willing to discriminate against the medically exempt. Welcome to the UK. There are times when I don't recognise my country."

l had some issue having to explain my limited capacity to breathe correctly...told...` everyone got Ischemic issues`...

`You don`t look unwell`

`If you won`t wear a mask stay at home..`

Local MP stated this.."Is this the most unwelcoming shop in the UK? And they are willing to discriminate against the medically exempt. Welcome to the UK. There are times when I don't recognise my country."

Stay at Home Directions include persons who have a physical or mental health illness or condition, or disability which makes wearing a face covering unsuitable, including persons with obstructed breathing,

Is our society a slave to the rhyme of social media....that is for another time.
