I was also trying to remember this DBN theme song, so I googled it. This post came up but nobody had the actual answer. I finally found it. It is "G-Bop" by Kenny G. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMsUaR-tCXk 4 Likes 1 Share |

@MuttleyLaff: Lmao what I googled was Naija news oh, abeg. There's no point googling inesQor, as this is the only website where you'll find that name. Olaadegbu has been bringing people to their knees since at least 2009 na. 10 years plus, going strong. Life happened jare. I didn't feel like I was learning so much on here anymore, and time became even more scarce. Nice to read from you too once again! Make I return to my shell before Olaadegbu brings me to my knees. 1 Like |

I googled something and ended up on Nairaland, and was surprised to find a lot of mentions, with this one being the most recent. |

Who knows: is Drogon much bigger than Rhaegar and Viserion just because he was not chained up in the dungeons like his brothers? |

Uchenna42:Some possible theories: (a) Wildfire (though this shouldn't be a rumor anymore. Tyrion used it in the past already. The rumor might be that the wildfire is located beneath the Septum, making it easy to take out the High Sparrow and his crew). (b) Rumor that Tyrion is with Daenerys - and so Cersei may be considering an alliance (c) Rumor that the Tyrells orchestrated Joffery's death. Implicating Maergery might turn King Tommen around. (d) A rumor that undermines the High Sparrow's credibility and shows that he is a hypocrite. Some evidence of dirty linen e.g. the high sparrow is a paedophile, or something like that, could change the scene. A man is getting tired of all the interesting theories - only to finally see an underwhelming plot on TV. 1 Like |

[size=3pt] jboy73:[/size] Seun is just looking out for the best interests of his site. Such words would "taint" the website, and search engines / robots won't consider Nairaland as a "family-friendly" site. This will likely, in turn, affect monetization. |

Seun:Not so "modern" actually. Barely a decade after this, Peter Popoff (healer and televangelist) was caught by Randi and an electronics technician receiving divine revelations using radio communication from his wife Elizabeth backstage - who was reading out people's names and issues to him. If that happened in 1987 I wonder what might be going on now, with our modern technology. This however does not necessarily mean all are fakes. 1 Like |

Ranchhoddas:I find your conclusion drastic! The way this story is usually told, if nothing is clearly stated I don't assume it is so. Syrio may have managed to escape, whether or not he hurt Meryn Trant in the process. *shrugs* |

Vickyydera:Don't also forget that Arya saved his life, and then asked him to kill himself, and then pardoned him again. Enough for a soft spot, wouldn't you say? Lol I doubt Jaquen has any of these romantic feelings but what do I know? |

GROOOVE: - We weren't told that Syrio Forel died, so he may have overcome the soldiers and escaped somehow (and if he is actually Jaqen the awesome assassin, it is not impossible for him). In #GOT and also #ASOIAF if we are not clearly told that someone died, the person is most likely alive somewhere. - It is possible that Jaqen H'ghar was undercover as Syrio Forel (for some reasons we don't know). Syrio Forel was also known to have said he is from Braavos. Another coincidence? - Jaqen even knew Arry the farm-boy is actually Arya Stark. |

What if Jaqen H'ghar took Arya Stark's form, just to catch the Waif in her brutal murder attempt after asking her not to let Arya suffer? Jaqen seems to be really invested in Arya. What if Jaqen H’ghar is actually her former teacher, Syrio Forel? 4 Likes 1 Share |

johnydon22: Always better to have an opinion, know where you stand, and be able to clearly express it - even if it is constantly shifting; THAN to hide all your thoughts from scrutiny just so that you can tear down that of others. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

PastorAIO:This is meaty. I'll have to get back to you on the philosophy of states of consciousness, which happens to be one of the more difficult problems in philosophy. For now, I will like to clarify that my whole argument is actually based on the idea that whatever we pay undue attention to may multiply in our consciousness. Temptation in itself is not the problem, but paying the wrong kind of attention to it will increase susceptibility. In terms of the question in the OP, Yes, Jesus got these same temptations but he didn't pay the sort of attention to them, that weakens his own resolve to deal with them (that is what sinning is). E.g. If I know that a particular colleague at work already has a thing for me and with the right words I can definitely get in bed with her, the fact that the thought crosses my mind at all is not a problem - it is a temptation. But the more I think about approaching her, the exact words to say, I plan the day or time that it will happen, and plan to set it all in motion, then I have begun to sin (this falls under the "wanting your own way" part of the three major types of sin in my previous response i.e. "wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important" i.e. "lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life" ). As Christians, this is why we are charged to be careful what we think. Prov 4:23 "Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life" Edited to add: there were a number of other points you brought up, that I will likewise address in my next response. |

PastorAIO: Yes it's hard to draw the line between a subconscious reaction and a conscious one, but each person knows when they begin "dwelling" on thoughts of sin. The very fact that we "hear" suggestions of temptation in our subconscious means we are liable to sin, but when we consciously begin to fantasize on it then the tables turn and we are dwelling in sin. Jesus was "tempted in all ways as we are". This statement would make no sense if he never had the urges or was not liable to sin, but the key thing is that he didn't dwell on them. John wrote about this, understanding that "newcomers in faith" (i.e. those with less experience handling sin) need to be guided out of it. I write this, dear children, to guide you out of sin. But if anyone does sin, we have a Priest-Friend in the presence of the Father: Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus. When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good—not only ours, but the whole world’s. "Solving the sin problem for good" means that Jesus' sacrifice gives us a fallback when we do sin. That's some hope, at least. And he tops it up in 1 John 2:15-17 by telling us how to keep ourselves from living in sin. Reading the below passage shows that it takes a conscious effort. The subconscious temptation in itself doesn't count, so that "number of seconds" between the subconscious and conscious can't be something fixed for everyone. Sin is isolating ourselves from God, and there are some common triggers for it. Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. Sin places that gun in our hands, we feel the weight and contemplate using it. The choice to press the trigger is always ours, but the longer you hold on to the gun and admire its beauty and grow dependent on it for your protection, the more likely you will use it on someone. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
