I was once part of a mega-church community. Today I am agnostic but it wasnt that long ago I remember the contempt many fundies had for Joel Osteen.

The fundies could never get real specific about why Joel Osteen was such a threat, but the answer was obvious. Osteen uses real-speak and doesnt dress his sermons in the facade of constant fundy-speak and numerical biblical references every other sentence.

See, fundies "feel" "feed" when they hear stuff like:

"Here in Jermiah 2:12-15 the lord says to run steadfastly and then he says (100 pages over) in Romans 3:21 to jump, which is why when you look back at Genesis 1:32 you can see he was happy. So remember to jump and run to make the lord happy"

When I channel surf, ocassionally I stop to watch the fundy preachers...I do it for amusement. However, when I have watched Osteen, I have actually done so for more than the standard 20 second surfers pause. Anyone can get something from the guy. Its such a joke that fundies bash him

One day John decides to invite Mark on a trip on his private jet. Whilst on this luxury aeroplane Mark asks where the toilet is. John shows him and says to him "inside there are 3 buttons, whatever you do don't press the third one." Mark proceeds to the toilet and does his business. Whilst sitting on the toilet he presses the first button. Suddenly his privates are cleaned thoroughly. He enjoys this and presses the second button. Dryers appear and dry his privates. He is intrigued to find out what button 3 does, so he pushes it. The next thing Mark sees is John staring at him....."what happened?" Mark asks shakily. "Well you pressed the third button and now you are in hospital." "Why do my privates hurt so bad?" Mark asked anxiously..John replies "Well you activated the automatic tampon remover."

Many people believe no one should change themselves except FOR themselves. To better their lives. Like quitting smoking or drinking (or both). like being more active or smiling more. So many have told me 'do it for yourself', however I ask this, what if doing it for myself is not enough? We all need motivation at times and I feel motivated to make changes to be with someone I want to be with. I worry about resentment down the road though. I have much to give deeper thought. There is nothing wrong with making changes for yourself or for others, if it comes from a good place, but how do you know? It being close to that NEW YEARS RESOLUTION time, I am giving this a lot of thought. I have someone I like a lot, want to be with in a relationship but also feel there are limitiations and expectations put out before that can happen. Sometimes when I think on it I feel motivated to make those changes and sometimes I feel anger to not be liked as I am now. I just wanted to put this out there...

My husband was given a fish tank, when he told a colleague, we are going to get fish for the children. We take good care of them, keep them clean, etc. We have now lost 9 fish in 14 months, one of them is sick again, she is a fighter, i have revived her twice now, with anti bacterial solution, but she has been sick for 2 days, on her back, gasping, but still here. Our other litle fella, was alive and boisterous this morning, i have just found him dead. This really upsets me, and the children,. I think it is the second hand tank, something harboured in there, could i be right? Our fish are very well looked after, but just keep dying on us. Symptons....upside down, gasping, rapid movements, float to the bottom of the tank, repeats, then dies, please help me here, what is wrong with them?

Do you have:

_ HIV/ AIDS
_ HSV 1
_ HSV 2
_ HPV
_ Hepatitis A
_ Hepatitis B
_ Hepatitis C
_ Chlamydia
_ I do not have any STDs
_ I’d rather not say at this time

It seems like a simple question but go on any personals website like Yahoo, Match, Lava Life, True, eHarmony, MSN, etc. and you won’t find it any where. Nor by doing a “keyword” search will any of the terms come up in the millions of profiles on these sites. Why would a site that is tacitly encouraging you to have sex disregard your personal safety by not even asking prospective partners to address the topic?
