Alrighty, probably best to leave it at that, as far as religious posts are concerned.

Thailand has the third highest suicide rate in the World.

Try reading the prior posts. You did not object when noisy gate did so first and the owner of this site has said this is not a religion free zone.

You are pathetic. I have 12 years of religion classes in school studying the Bible, a year in college and attending church weekly. Please share your religious credentials with us. For Christians, Jesus isn't just a compassionate person and that shows you fail to understand the core of Christian beliefs. I love the way you twist and lie. Lol. Cornered

Your time is over and we are taking this country back from bigots like you.

How about all of the bigots like Trump, or Richard Spencer? What do you suppose Jesus would think of bigots of that sort

It is not your job to police people's thinking here. The poor unfortunate soul here is you! l don't force my beliefs on anyone and sure as heck don't tell people they not Christians. Stop pointing the finger as though you wrapped up in a righteous blanket. You a sinner like the rest of us, thing is, you don't see it, and that is what makes you blind. Btw-Your knowledge of the Christ, is poor at best.

I work in mysterious ways too....I don't think negatively. Don't throw God into this please. Someone else won the following week because they needed it more.

I will silence and object to bigotry against Christians. No one is that stupid to not know where all the other churches came from...for example the Protestant reformation. You post an indirect slur denying the divinity of Jesus Christ then have the nerve to tell us what Jesus Christ would have said to a suicide victim. Then post a response changing the subject and ignoring the facts. Typical complaint about you from many. Such an unhappy little troll. I know your tactics well as do many others.

One last thing- since you seem to think you know so much about Christianity. Answer this, or get in touch with your priests or pastors.

Why is it that Adam Eve were told in scripture, that because of their sin, they would return to the dust of the ground.

Yet, after Christianity was established, the teaching in the churches, even up to today is, if you fail to obey God, you end up in hell fire for eternity. Who to you is the worst sinners, those original two, or folks who were born thousan... [ More ]

l have many catholic friends who tell me, Peter established the first Church.Then where did all the others come from? Why not have one singular church, and you know why? Because of interpretation. End of story.

noise-gate — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 01:48:48 GMT

Just go away! I thought I made that very clear to you the last time around. As for quoting Baptists- Catholics, what does that have to do with anything? All denominations teach their brand of Christianity. Jesus said, in case you dont know Salvation originates with the Jews. ( John 4: )Why are you not one? I could school you on Christianity 5 days a week twice on Sunday.

By the way you are attempting to silence my opinion in a forum - just who do you think you are

Artist77 — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 23:40:00 GMT

What a bizarre interpretation of Jesus saying let the dead bury the dead that is contrary to any church teaching from Baptists to Catholics.

It had nothing to do with the actual dead since Jesus Christ spoke in parables and stories and the dead cannot obviously bury the dead. It refers to being dead to Christ and making him first in your life. Jesus Christ did not disparage the dead. And what would Jesus Christ have done??? Perhaps raise him from the dead???

I am so sick of your misquoting... [ More ]

Whether one is a Christian or not, we can all agree that Jesus was a Kind Compassionate person. Yet, when someone approached him and said Lord, let me first go bury my father.. Jesus response was Let the dead bury the dead, and come follow me.( Luke 9:60)

Since Jirawut took his own life, he lacked appreciation for something this sacred. I can only imagine Jesus saying He did what?

as always: an opinion.

How wise, considerate and empathic a response. Well said and well meant.

Human 'kind' could use more folks with your attributes.

Don't feel sorry for him. In 1996 I missed winning the NY lottery of 17 million because of my playslips I forgot at home when I went out with my wife. Was I depressed and mad? Absolutely.. but I got over it. It wasn't meant to be. I would have been the only winner. I'm still here today..WORKING.

just think. Whoever stole those tickets are scared to death to cash it in. I m sure that lottery system is waiting and watching.

A sad story .

It may be difficult to understand his motivation for committing suicide without understanding the Thai culture which is deeply influenced by religion. With around 95% of the country being Theraveda Buddhist, the belief system and values of Buddhism play a huge role in day-to-day life. Throughout the country, the most important values that Thai people hold to are respect, self-control, and a non-confrontational attitude.

Since you only play by subscription, you can't loose any tickets...or ammo.

More probably stolen by friends or family, than lost.

Yes, it truly is a sad story. I don't have a clue about the highs and lows of Jirawut Pongphan's unique life, but what is apparent though is that the subjective lows of his life shaped him enough to feel such hurt and despair with this lost ticket that it drove him to end the pain. I've never felt that kind of unbearable despair, and truly can't imagine what it was like to walk for 42 years in his shoes. I wish him well on his cosmic vacation, and hope his family can find some measure of peace a... [ More ]

if I lost a ticket, I could imagine kicking myself, but not shooting my. I only play by subscription, so I can't loose any tickets.

Just got to thinking : This sort of thing happens more than we know.

Spouse going through a nasty divorce: decides to wipe out his whole family, including the other parent.

Jilted lover can t stand the breakup, thinks : If l can t have you, no one else can, then decides to take both their lives. Jirawut at least decided to take his own life, instead of thinking that his family would be incapable to handle life without him, so he might as well end theirs. It still makes him a selfish P

IF he had the winning ticket then one of his family friends made off with it. He was really stupid to celebrate before cashing in the ticket. I don't feel sorry for this jacka$$ in any way.

Turn the tickets in first-celebrate second

One of the party go-ers stole his tickets.

That is pretty selfish act if you have a family sorry I don't feel bad for him I've never thrown away that much money but I've changed my lottery tickets where I have cost myself $18000 but whatever I got over it.

Since he is crazy enough to kill himself maybe his crazy brain forgot how deep he buried his ticket to hide it from everyone. Don't kill yourself too early until the claim time for the ticket has expired or offer a ten percent reward to who ever found it. Lottery does really kill literally

Please Play Responsibly. If you play the Lottery, here are some things to keep in mind:

1) Money needed for daily expenses should not be used for playing the Lottery.

2) Set a limit. Don't chase your losses and risk getting deeper into a hole.

3) Set some winnings aside for other purposes.

4) Winning and losing are both part of playing the Lottery and other gaming activities. If you're only prepared to win, you're not prepared to play the Lottery.

5) Playing the Lottery is a re... [ More ]

Lottery winner shoots self after losing winning tickets

Lottery Post — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 17:53:03 GMT

A lottery winner shot himself dead after he won more than $1.3 million but then lost his winning lottery tickets.

Jirawut Pongphan, 42, gathered family and friends to his house to celebrate winning a life-changing jackpot.

But he woke the next day to find his tickets gone, leaving him unable to claim his winnings.

Jirawut, from Chonburi province in eastern Thailand, had seven tickets with the winning numbers and thought he would be rich beyond his wildest dreams but his excitement was s... [ More ]
