at 06:33PM 08/05/08

papabear: I didn't know that toilets needed to be "saved". Does that mean that there are unbelieving toilets? Do the saved toilets go to heaven? Do the unsaved toilets spend eternity in the other place? Papa Bear wunderz...

darliene: Changing the subject - did you notice how that one car is parked!!!

at 07:52PM 08/05/08

sdsmith777: is it a historical toilet that is being threatened to be modernized? Maybe it has sentimental value...hmmm

at 07:54PM 08/05/08

takayama: Maybe they sent them to Iraq.

at 08:12PM 08/05/08

kylibo: the councils in england have closed down many toilets due to vandalism and drug users, so the public has no "public loo's" to go in.

at 08:28PM 08/05/08

jackied: Oh, Kylibo! Thank you for answering the question. Now what do we talk about? :-)

at 08:29PM 08/05/08

rickycasey: stop the madness! HahA

at 09:04PM 08/05/08

lisab626: Isn't that the TRUE meaning of Movement?? =)

at 10:09PM 08/05/08

kylibo: @jackied maybe not toilets

at 10:17PM 08/05/08

kylibo: ;-)

at 10:18PM 08/05/08

steve: A "movement" that's just funny. lol

at 10:30PM 08/05/08

jackied: @kylibo - nor THE MOVEMENT(s) ---

hishouse: Thanks Bill for starting all this entertainment, a "creative movement" has just began lol

at 10:42PM 08/05/08

kylibo: @jackied yes. unless you need prayer...

at 10:48PM 08/05/08

john_baw: This is one of "those moments" when being a brit just sort of.....makes you want to...erm. close your eyes...and crawl somewhere quiet, alone, dark ;)

at 01:15AM 08/06/08

jakesmom: jimmysmith1 your comment made me laugh out loud!!!!!
Thanks for the entertainment Father Bill!!!

womanofgod: I've been in those toliets. They are some of the strangest but I appreciated them.

at 06:03AM 08/06/08

jackied: @kylibo - lol :-) Of course; I will keep the prayer in mind in the event --- (my, this could get bad) --- well, that acronym: "PUSH" comes to my mind. It stands for Pray Until Something Happens. I guess we all need to PUSH once in a while...

at 07:16AM 08/06/08

ruach: lol never seen something like that...

at 08:32AM 08/06/08

annieem: yah know this thread might eventually be even longer than some of political threads Ive seen!

at 11:13AM 08/06/08

suem: maybe people think toilets being saved are more interesting than politics??

at 11:39AM 08/06/08

jackied: There are some interesting political goings on that are worthy of a good toilet :-)

at 12:02PM 08/06/08

annieem: hhaaaaahaaaaahaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa!!!! Oh you mean a good flush!! I agree! A cleanse as it were!!!!

jweckstrom: PBJ, that's quite the can of worms you opened with this photo. Somehow I think that you knew that. BTW, thanks for the Starbucks card :) I'll be sure to use it next time I go through the drivethru :)

sarahkoi: too much protein

at 09:48PM 08/06/08

mwalk: Hah Hah Jweckstrom....just make sure I"m not with you or I might react... :)

ron: Wales public exposure has declined since Diana's passing. If the Welsh had imported royal quality loos (toilets) which even the common public use in Japan, see
http://tinyurl.com/AddictingToilets
then the bobbies wouldn't have trouble finding a clean public loo when out on their beats. It's unconscionable not to submissively give a proper seat to authorities.

Romans 13:5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. (The Japanese loo even plays "Ave Maria", God bless them.)

The British Toilet Association needs to repent, hear the good news from Japanese exporters, and bring revival to their loos.

at 08:33AM 08/07/08

rickycasey: Ron..that is amazing...I smell a hint of fabricated journalism..ha ha

at 09:01AM 08/07/08

ron: When things don't smell right, for some, seeing is believing. Google all of the following, from Group to washingtonpost.com, and see what flushes:

Group of Eight leaders addicted to posh privies go to Japan where people hear Ave Maria as toilet washes bottom site:washingtonpost.com

bina: i haven't been to england or anywhere outside the us except for toronto and montreal, canada. but my daughter came back from england complaining about the fact that u have to pay to use the public toilets in london and one time she didn't have the money and she really needed to go. it makes me grateful for free public toilets wherever i am!!

at 10:06AM 08/07/08

suem: In Harrods London you have to pay like $2 or more to use the toilets in the store

timee129: Some time ago, an English lady, tired of the rain of England, went to look for a house to buy in Switzerland. She finally found the house of her dreams, had her offer accepted, and returned to England to pack her belongings. While packing her bathroom, she suddenly realised that she didn’t remember seeing a bathroom in her new house. So she wrote to the Swiss estate agent asking for the whereabouts of the WC. The Swiss agent - his English being none too good - passed the letter on to the local priest for translation. Being unfamiliar with English abbreviations, the only meaning he could think of for WC was Wesleyan Chapel.

The English lady received the following reply:

‘My Dear Madam,

I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is situated nine miles from the house in the centre of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds.

It is capable of holding 229 people, and is open on Sundays and Thursdays only. As there are a great number of people expected during the summer months, I suggest you come early, although there is usually only standing room. This is an unfortunate situation, especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.

It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the WC, and it was there that she met her husband. I can remember the rush for seats. There were ten people to every seat usually occupied by one. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces.

You will be glad to hear that a good many people bring their lunch and make a day of it, while those who can afford to go by car arrive just in time. I would especially recommend your ladyship to go on Thursdays when there is organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent, even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere.

The newest addition is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters. A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all, since the people feel it is long needed.

My wife is rather delicate and she cannot go regularly. It is almost a year since she went last, and naturally it pains her very much not to be able to go more often.

If you let me know when you are planning on attending I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat in the WC for you, where you shall be seen by all. For the children there is a special day and time so they do not disturb their elders with their noises. Hoping to be of some service to you.

Yours faithfully…’

Great letter! Total miscommunication!

papabear: I think this thread is going down the toilet...

at 04:45PM 08/07/08

bina: ha ha flushed away ....

at 05:02PM 08/07/08

ms_amazing: Love it. haha!

at 05:08PM 08/07/08

brevived: jweckstrom: Mary actually took the photo. I just wanted to world to see.

at 05:14PM 08/07/08

jaraphi: @Papabear - I died laughing. You cracked me up.

at 05:33PM 08/07/08

gume: the world has seen!
and now the world knows!
save the toilets!

at 06:05PM 08/07/08

russell: it is hilarious to see how many poeple love this picture and how many love to comment in so many different creative ways about this "movement".... too funny!! this is the most popular photo on beenup2

at 08:14PM 08/07/08

annieem: Oh my, I laughed so hard at the post by timee129, that Im crying!

at 09:42PM 08/07/08

ms_amazing: This is out of control. Since when are we all so potty mouthed and thinking such bathroom humor?

at 10:10PM 08/07/08

ron: Wow! Even the hard hearted laughs have finally come to pass, and some fear losing control of even light humor! It seems the testimony @timee129 shared is inspiration to ROFL!

In tears, Repentant Over Flowing Loos, Rolling On Floor Laughing! A movement of Rent-and-cost-less loos!

at 12:20AM 08/08/08

steve_o: LOl!

at 06:28AM 08/08/08

bina: God created laughter ...
nuff said...
lol

at 06:33AM 08/08/08

nanny911: It begs the question..."What must they do to be saved?"

at 07:27AM 08/08/08

rickycasey: The Lord wills all be saved. Ha.

at 08:56AM 08/08/08

suem: laughter is good for us we are often told in church so this thread has provided many with that gift!

at 12:32PM 08/08/08

suem: @ron you can try Proverbs 17 v 22 "merry" to me sounds like laughter !

at 02:57PM 08/08/08

ron: @suem, does your pastor preach strictly from the KJV or does he sometimes look to the TRD (The Reader's Digest) for additional guidance?

Cause actually, before u mentioned that, I was wondering where that is in the Bible. Seriously. If anyone knows, pls drop a reference

I read, "Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart." (Ecclesiastes 7:3 NIV) I guess some people take that literally.

I think "the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem" (Ecc 1:1 KJV) needs to go to Redding and brevived!

at 03:03PM 08/08/08

ron: Thanks Sue! So we don't need to go to TRD. King James of London says it well, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine". :-]

at 03:10PM 08/08/08

arealchange: Actually the transliteration does indication laughter, great joy, even hysterical joy!
sameach- Hebrew word you also see refrenced in 1Ki 8:66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.

at 03:11PM 08/08/08

arealchange: and on a more POWERFUL note, the converse, a broken spirit dries the bones... broken is : AV — broken 2, stricken 1, wounded 1... so we can appropriately say a MERRY, PUT BACK TOGETHER, HEALED, UNSTRICKEN, UNBROKEN heart doeth GOOD like a medicine!! Glory and thank you JESUS!

at 03:14PM 08/08/08

ron: Amen! Thank u! I feel relieved - unstricken, unbroken, and put back together. That's a very good word.

I think I can put the lid down on this can now, as jimmysmith1 suggested way up near the top of this thread.

Even the out-house of Bethel's online church is a blessed place to congregate.

I'm SOZOed and I feel good about it.

at 04:15PM 08/08/08

daniel1985: wow...this is the best thread right now...keep em coming!!!

brevived: daniel1985: you're right - many companies owe me endorsement monies

at 08:27PM 08/17/08

daniel1985: @brevived: I know...we should start sending them ur messages and beenup2 pics so they know about this...HEY EVERYONE!!! Let's help Pastor Bill bring awreness to the many companies that owe him lots of monies! =)

at 01:43AM 08/18/08

suem: I think that Pastor Bill should at least ask Mary or Judy in time to inquire if these toilets did get saved just to put our minds at rest !

at 02:46AM 08/18/08

suem: actually my brother lives in Wales maybe its near him !

at 02:47AM 08/18/08

ron: This just in: The Brits also have a "Save Our Tastebuds" protest going regarding some brown "noxious gunk" they're eating. Maybe that has something to do with the nasty loos. I'm not making this gunk up folks, see for yourself at:

http://www.marmite.co.uk/hate/history/love-and-hate.html

Redding may be next to need its tastebuds and toilets saved as the noxious gunk has been imported and is now being consumed there as well. See the photo courtesy of Sarah at:

http://www.beenup2.com/photos/277600-always-time-for-marmite

Redding may soon need a boat load of special prayer for special movements, and whoopee cushions.

at 11:24AM 08/18/08

maverick: Thanks to all who "noticed". May your rooms in heaven be enormous!

at 02:35AM 08/22/08
