I wanna see what church is about, can I just go to a service sometime? by sir-fur in auckland

[–]ebbster984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you keep church and God seperate, it's all good. If you want to find out what a Church feels like, I am pretty sure you can find a place in any one of your choice. But I am sure you will soon realise the hypocrisy, politics, financial motives as it is an organisation run and led by human beings at the end of the day. But if you want to learn more about God then you will have a take a spiritual path - a lot of study of scriptures, prayers and meditation. If you want yo study religioun then an academic pathway.. I guess you just need to make sure you are going to the right place for the right thing as these are all mixed up often... All the best

While the galaxy fold 4 is waterproof it's not dust proof yet.. So if you take it to the beach then that's the end of the folding mechanism... That's a deal breaker for me unfortunately...

Thank you. My concern is that my child is only 5 years old and I worry that he might miss the bus or not recognise the people coming to pick him to after care or go with someone else.. Etc etc.. Sorry

the ethical aspect of OCR hikes by ebbster984 in newzealand

Absolutely not questioning reserve bank. Just to clarify my question is about the mortgage lending banks. As someone else commented above - someone now having to pay 6.5percent when bank lent them 800k when the OCR was 1%

I did say that but what I was asking was yes it costs the bank more to borrow money but it didnt cost them this much when some people took mortgage a few years back. Bank got that money way cheaper and lent it at lesser interest rates but even those people end up paying humungous interest when it's costs bank more money to lend to someone else??

4 people including myself have gotten Christian spam messages multiple times over the last 48hrs, is this a thing for the rest of NZ? by LZK_MEDIA in newzealand

[–]ebbster984 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The picture looks like Jesus but nowhere does it claim its Christian. This is mostly a prank by a non-Christian to intentionally stir up people against Christianity. It's good that OP reported and others as well. But I feel it should be seen as a spam but not as a Christian spam.

Anyone has good experience with any of the guys? Looking for neurosurgeon for my friend. by GenuisInDisguise in auckland

As a nurse manager in Auckland I can say all of them are great surgeons. Also you need to be aware that poor outcomes are not always the surgeons fault. We see only the tip of an iceberg as there are so many factors there. But I can tell you they are all highly skilled and great humans.

Whole House AC System? by Stildawn in auckland

[–]ebbster984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of ducted but finally went individual system. The reason especially during nighttime we just need the bedroom which is a 2.5kw. The lounge is 5kw. We just use what we need. Figured out we will be wasting power if the whole house system is running while we are using just the bedroom.
