Christian balls

[carver]

one of my siblings has been talking about their school ball

some of the rules are


No partners-the school does not want to encourage early relationships (she is 17)
Parents will be invited


whats the point in having a ball.
its like having a jewish BBQ

[fireliv]

Do they mean no partners as in people outside of the School (older people or people that go to another school or those not at school??)

My school was like that, could only go with guys from the guys school down the road.

AS for parents, SUCK

[Ragingrob]

So, no Christian balls for her then?

ah, no partners full stop


So, no Christian balls for her then?

i guess not, cause thats naughty

[NDORFN]

Shit, if there's one thing I hate more than Mormons, it's Christians.

[Mom]

When I were a lass, back in the olden days, young christian girls were more fun than their non christian counterparts DAMHIK

[fireliv]

ah, no partners full stop



Thats just pathetic then. Oh well I'm sure there will be after parties

[MsKABC]

Shit, if there's one thing I hate more than Mormons, it's Christians.

Mormons are Christians. :stupid:

[Hitcher]

The high school I went to only had one rule for balls:

"No gumboots".

I joke not.

[allycatz]

Well i guess all the ones that wouldn't of got partners will feel better but parents????? Thats what pre ball parties are for

[White Boots]

That sucks. I guess it gives the nerds a better chance:Punk:

[NighthawkNZ]

Catholic girls FTW!

Yeah, the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the OECD is the only thing NZ is first at.

We should stick to our knitting.

[smoky]

Mormons are Christians. :stupid:

Not really

[MsKABC]

Not really

Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints?

Maybe there are some Christians who don't consider them to be, but they still worship the same God.

[smoky]

Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints?
Only a recent form - they have always formerly been the Church of Latter day Saints


Maybe there are some Christians who don't consider them to be, but they still worship the same God.
Was Joseph Smith wrong then?
He refused to be called Christian, and said christians were "all wrong ... all their creeds were an admonition in his sight, and that those professors (Christians) were all corrupt" (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith, 2:18-19). He did all he could to distance his followers from Christians.
Mormons preferred to be called "saints" rather than christian; the LDS church today is trying hard to present itself as Christian and is trying to overcome the stigma of being called a cult.
There are some fundamental differences to christian doctrine and Mormon belief that set them apart.

But hey! if you want to call them christians - you go for it, no skin off my nose, I'm neither.

The one that created Heaven and Earth in the dark?...yeah he some talent that boy.....:eek:

[MsKABC]

Same :) And I really know very little about religion, so I'm not gonna argue with you ;)

[MsKABC]

Motorcycles, too :yes: :laugh:

Really? The Joe Smith I've read about was more likely to view that stuff as an abomination.

[MsKABC]

Ah yes...the Godwing....Honda took over where he left off.....:laugh:

They brought him in as a consultant on the Bros though :shifty:

See this is why I hate religion... causes too many arguements.

Talented engineers who know you don't mess with a proven formula, unlike those idiots adding a cream cheese version to the Vegemite range. Vegemite is Vegemite. Vegemite with cream cheese is a nasty gynaecological infection.

[McWild]

It's good to know that there are still people in this world who know that prohibiting something to teenagers makes it less appealing to them.

It works with alcohol, drugs, and fireworks after all!

Blah blah blah....Vegemite is Vegemite. Vegemite with cream cheese is a nasty gynaecological infection.

Thanks J.D, I will never eat the stuff now.

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles
have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'

Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson
motorcycle? '
Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise
and pollution and can't run without a road?'

Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?' God said, 'Ah, yes.'

'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.

The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'

I find it hard to believe Carver, that your sister would even want to go to the ball ... as with rules and regulations such as that, if she is anything like you, you would think she would mastermind a boycott of the school ball and throw a party at your parents house!!:Punk:

[marty]

Cambridge High senior ball is like this - the Head Boy from St Pauls (who used to go to CBHS) even needed permission to partner one of the CB girls.

Parents not invited to the ball, but to pre-ball they are, and the after match party is always at a bussed-to secret location, which prevents numpties from the tron and tauranga spoiling it for everyone.

And if you want to see some classic cars, the CBHS ball is the one - there are a lot of pre-50 classics hiding away in farmer's sheds around Cambridge!

My son and his mates are seniors at CBHS - they had a fantastic ball this year, although he did take the head girl and his best mate took the principal's daughter, so I guess they were always going to be looked after :)

[cambridgedan]

yea cambridge is good, we used to live there, i think id like to move back some day, altho at the moment it seems like i do live there haha,

Our ball in Tauranga was pretty average i guess so long as you passed the breath tester and drug test on ya way in :shit:

[Brett]

See this is why I hate religion... causes too many arguements.

Thats just lame. Do you hate upside down suspension too? I recall a HUGE debate from skidmark about them a while back

Or how about the biker 'wave'...you must hate that too...shit loads of arguements

Or money - that must cause the most amount of arguements in the world.

My point being, it is your right to not care about religion, but your reason for 'hating' it is a bit....POOFEY.

People cause arguements, disention and friction with each other, not religion ,it is just the fuel they use sometimes.

[Brett]

Oh, and this school ball sounds like an epic fail too. What a bore!

[The Stranger]

The high school I went to only had one rule for balls:

"No gumboots".

That was to give the sheep a fighting chance.

[Skyryder]

Might be some kind of same sex ball. Either way having your parents there will be a killjoy for sure. Nothing like a lack of trust to ensure continuity.

[bungbung]

It's not what it sounds like, check google images...

[nallac]

So, no Christian balls for her then?


luckily for her i'm not christian then..my balls are good to go:hug::bleh::Oops::done:

[Flatcap]

There should be no dancing or Rock music either

Tools of the Devil!

[slofox]

When I was a school teacher, several centuries ago, a certain religious group, which shall remain nameless, decided that their children were not allowed to do folk dancing in phys ed class (seven year olds BTW), on the grounds that "dancing requires holding hands with members of the opposite sex, and that leads to fornication"....
I immediately joined the nearest folk dancing club.

HAHa, typical, power tripping eh?

[crazyhorse]

Well, it sounds like you sent her to a Christian school - if so, what did you expect?????

[crazyhorse]

Actually I was re-thinking this one.

What exactly are christian balls like? Are they soft and squidgy? hard? small? Round or big?

So where can I get one - two?

ha ha ha ha

[Oakie]

There's a Christian organisation in Chch who organise balls for disabled people. Their name? "Balls for the Disabled". I kid you not. I have a photocopy of one of their invoices on my desk at work just to remind me.

False advertising Carver!!! I was expecting to discover the special difference between a Christians balls and an aetheists balls :sherlock:

Seriously though...I think they are fooling themselves - kids be getting it on and having 'relationships' regardless of the one night of a year bash where they get tarted up and ponce around smiling that wonderfully gleeful and innocent smile...which only those who don't pay any real bills can as they stand around in a couple of hundred bucks worth of 'one night' get up.

17?! Bahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa 17 year olds wouldn't do anything sexual and not encouraging it will keep them 'pure'

:lol: :rofl: :lol: :laugh: WHATEVER!

I hate money too. Can't see I've seen global conflict as a result of upside down suspension and the biker 'wave'... but that's probably because they are REAL!.

PRIVATE school girls are being ordered to wear bike pants under their clothes at social functions to reduce the risk of being sexually assaulted.

Girls' schools have issued the directive to students attending dances amid concerns that inappropriate touching by boys could lead to criminal charges.

:lol: Oh noes! Protect the poor little innocent PRIVATE school girls from being touched inappropriately by the BOYS...:lol: of course the girls wouldn't have anything to do with encouraging said innapropriate touching eh :rolleyes:

On another note, check this out!

"My dress cost $560, my shoes $140. My dress for the after-ball cost $100 and the shoes $50."

On top of that are hair, makeup, the party bus and ball tickets.

Taken from a Harold article today. You what???

This from a kid that attends a very ordinary public college in Auckland.

This from a 16 year old girl no less, what a crock of shit! It is a dance not your friggen wedding you silly child!

I could take my mastercard to mermaids and have a 16 yr old for 120 but the look on my kids face at the ball was priceless !

This whole 'ball' thing is a ghastly Americanism and I'm glad we didn't have it when I were a lad. Then again, I was a complete geek :cold:

Lassie who keeps her horse here has no less than 3 balls to go to (I await stupid comments)....and she's getting a new dress for each one. Told the daft bint to just hire them... honestly....they do treat it like a wedding.

The salary packet and pints of lager are a tad higher in Tokyo tho'. The point is that 16 year old kids "dont have it" but do indeed "go for it" anyway. Hardly teaching them a good lesson now is it?

LOL red repped for the above by SixPackBack....come one SPB, I am not saying that he has to love religion, just that hating something just because it causes arguements is rather shallow. I mean, rather have issues with religion because people follow blindly in faith, or that some religions try to force their beliefs on other people to much etc...but not just because it causes arguements. Shit, half our thinking is done during a debate/arguement...
Arguements can be healthy, I know that I have found myself switching sides in an arguement because someone has put forward a view that I can't disagree with. How do we evolve our thinking etc without debate?
Dude I have realised that you are strongly polarised against religion, which is fine and is your absolute right. But why does the fact that I feel religion can cause healthy debate (as well as causing unnecessary grief, granted) sit so badly with you?

[kave]

But why does the fact that I feel religion can cause healthy debate (as well as causing unnecessary grief, granted) sit so badly with you?
Can we have a healthy debate caused by belief in the tooth fairy? Strictly speaking it is possible, but highly unlikely. I have to say that debates caused by religon generally aren't what someone would call a healthy debate. What I would call a healthy debate (as opposed to an argument) is generally people making logical points in an attempt to convince the other party/parties of your position. When there is a debate about religon, generally it is dealing with the supernatural, outside the realms of logic. All rules about evidence and logic get suspended for the person on one side of the argument, and this makes any supposed debate take on quite a surreal and pointless aspect.
