No discussions on meat allowed. Moderators! Bijlee Singh? Where are you? You didn't hesitate to give me a warning? Erlo! You home brother?

No! Don't give a warning. Leave the person alone. Live and let live. Freedom of speech.

Damm...too far away.

I like that Gurudwara....had some interesting conversations with the guys who run it.

That is why this topic is not discussed here because it goes round and round in circles, resulting in drumsticks and gajjars being hurled at each other from both camps.

Topic left well alone, and left to personal conscience.............as our Guru's intended. :lol:

[SSM]

the above post has to be the funniest one in a long time. But let us not guess what our Gurus intended- we dont know- lets stick to what we think is right if we dont know what the truth might be .

[sher_panjabi]

Forget discussing meat or whether we can have a Chicken bucket at KFC!!!

Instead lets do VICHAAR and CONTEMPLATE on bigger and more important things like WHY WE HERE and WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE.

Gurmukho please come along today and take laahaa of Sangat, Keertan and Katha :lol:
