===Those Interested===
#[[User:Aschlafly]](captain team 1) - I'm in. I thought I was a captain, but I guess that has changed! Maybe each team should pick their captain.
::As of now - you are! Just wanted to make sure you were able to be in.--[[User:Iduan|I]][[User_talk:Iduan|Duan]] 19:45, 8 November 2007 (EST)

The '''War Powers Act''' states that the [[President of the United States]] cannot carry out a war without [[United States Congress|Congress]]'s approval. Congress must be informed before the President commits troops, and the President must have the approval of Congress before deploying troops longer then 60 days.

I just intended a geneal history of the Bible, but I will remove any links to cults groups not in agreement with what the Bible says. The proposed article about the JW Bible in "Bible versions" (New World Translation) will remain, because I want this article written which clearly shows the errors these people made when creating their version. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 11:59, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
:It's my job. Good work on the reversion. Please notify a Sysop of any more vandalism you come across. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geo.]] 01:30, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
==Bible versions article==
I think my plans for a Bible versions article will be in the plural; each version will have its own article covering its history, as well as using the KJV as a standard and making a side-by-side comparison. I think that's the best way to show them all here. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 14:55, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

DADDY!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU TO!!!!!
Love --[[User:JesusFreak94|Jess]] 21:43, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

==Good catch==

Good catch on the menstruation article. There are a lot of people who register accounts here just to post Scripture here in ways that are meant to make the Bible look silly. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 02:16, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
