I'm not just asking about religious folks who are trying to get other people to join their flock. The question refers to any person who spends time and energy trying to get other people to switch from their strongly held beliefs (or opinions) to something different under the premise that theirs is "the right way". I would appreciate it if those who answered were serious and thoughtful, although response from all is encouraged. Thanks!

As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. - Acts 9:3

For Moses, it was the burning bush.
For Peter, it was walking on water.
For Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, it was walking through the burning furnace untouched.
For Paul, it was being blinded and spoken to by Jesus on the Damascus road.
For Daniel, deliverance from the lions' den.
For Joshua, parting the Jordan River and crossing into the Promised Land.

There have been many defining moments in the lives of human beings that changed their lives forever. These defining moments often set the course for the balance of their lives.
We could go on and on. Each of these servants had years of preparation leading up to their defining moment. These moments forced the servants to be involved in something beyond their human experiences. It took them outside their own paradigms of life. God had to move them outside their own boxes. And when He did, their lives were never the same.

Do you share your pain with someone or do you bottle it all up inside?

I Don't ever show any emotion when my feeling have been hurt. I know it is not healthy but I refuse to let anyone know how much it effected me. Sometimes I feel like an ice princess.

tips on what I should expect? Can we carry an ice chest with drinks/snacks? How much room is inbetween the seats for legs and "stuff". My husband says it can be a scarry group of people riding a bus, but to me, it will be worth it to save that money! Please share your experiences, things you carried on, how far you traveled, etc. Thanks!! BTW, we are going from Houston to Orlando.

My wife and I are both big San Francisco 49ers fans. We are from the San Fran Bay Area and moved to Columbus a few years ago. The 49ers are playing the brown on Dec 30th and are thinking about going to the game.

However a few years ago we went to the Bengals/49ers game in Cincy and it was awful. People threw beer bottles and snowballs at us. She called my wife a hore. Real classy.

Anyways, do you think it would be enjoyable or should we just watch it from the conformt of our local bar?

Scripture portrays the 144,000 as God's special end time church. According to Rev 7 they are able "to stand" when Jesus returns. They are called "first fruits" which indicates that a larger harvest will be gathered and that they are not the only ones to be saved..
The book of Acts amply details the historical fact that, according to Jesus' plan, Jews were the first to receive salvation. The conversion of Gentiles came later, beginning with Cornelius. Chapter 7 of Revelation http://www.crosswalk.com/1440928/

You neither heard, nor saw, nor smelt, nor felt, nor tasted the wind; but logically, because you could see its effect on the tree u made an assumption it must;ve been windy.

Is it possible to have no tangible evidence of something but because of its manifestations u can deduce it is there?

the jonas brothers and the other bands like them.



















screw you. those bands suck and you have no idea what real music is. anything that has come out withhin the last 10 years sucks,

hannah montna is for five year olds who do whatever tv tells them to do, i please ask all parents who may read this to ban your children form listening to them. its just not right, and you know it.

if you hadnt seen these bands on TV you wouldnt listen to them, thats the problem with children today, all they do is listen to the television and only like the things that everyone else likes, because you want to look cool. I found all the music i like by myself, noone told me, noone made me like it. it was just me.

these "pop" stars keep acting like they rock.

you know who rocks?

The Ramones, The blackhearts, Styx, Journey, Boston,
The beatles (they dont "rock" but they're awesome.)

Atreyu and drowningpool, but if your ten...i wouldnt recomend these bands.

Basically I started off looking at a game minimum specs (bioshock) and recommended specs when i thought i should upgrade my PC.

My PC isn't THAT bad..
2.4Ghz
1Gb Ram
360Gb Hard-drive (2 seperate)

However instead of looking into upgrading 1)my Ram 2)my CPU and 3)my Graphic, My brother told me to just looking at getting a new PC.

Now i have seen PC's on ebay that look insane ending @ about £350. When i see insane, i mean 2-4x the processing power, Ram, and graphics of my PC. I've been wondering, how do they make those so cheap? whats the catch? Is it because they don't include mouse/keyboard/monitor, etc? Do they use cheap parts (excluding the CPU)?

Has anyone bought a PC off ebay and is satisfied?

Hi all,

As you know I been with my boyfriend for over 2 years now. We had a bad arguement a few days back but managed to resolve a few things.

Anyhow BEFORE his relationship with me my boyfriend was with a woman for 7 years who had a son from a previous relationship.

When we first got together he was in contact with her and she was threatening me and everything and told him she was going to move away and that she hated us and all that.

Anyhow 2/3 weeks ago we went on holiday to Cornwall and had a fantastic time.

Anyhow about an hour ago he told me that when we were away he saw his ex's son and it has freaked him out and he been having bad dreams and everything...

Why would he mention this to me and why now? Do you think this means he may be thinking about his past relationship with his ex and want her back or am I being stupid reading too much into it?

I have noticed alot that the answers that are given by people are either beyond rude....severly judgmental....obviously that the person answering has no clue what the person was trying to ask....and last but not least... gives an answer that has absolutly nothing to do with the question at hand.

Shouldn't we all read the questions compleatly and then answers only after fully understanding what it is truely is that the writer is trying to ask?

I am interested in a home that is in a great neighborhood but needs some major updating and renovations such as new roof, new heating and air and new windows, in addition, some of the copper plumbing has been stolen in the basement, wow, sounds like a lot, but the house could be a great investment with about 25-30 thousand put into it. The problem Im facing is that it is bank owned. I have been approved for mortgage that of 100 thou, the asking price of the house is 89,900. First questions is according to what I previously mentioned that needs renovated what would you offer, and secondly and most importantly, what is the best way to get a rehab loan in order to do the work. Thank you so much

How long is too long to wait for him to purpose?
Fact: Your body only gives off love hormones for the first two years you are with someone. After that you have just decided that you are going to be with them and no love hormones are secreted.

Been dating for five years, we don't even live together at this point. We break up often (At the longest for three weeks at a time) Usually I break-up with him because he says or does something to piss me off. Sometimes he will say that he will hang out with me the next day and then he will say that he's gonna hang out with his buddy all night when I call him that day. How long is too long to wait? I understand that when you get married that you want everything to be perfectly stable. I have talked to him about it and he says I am perfectly commited to you any way and why should we get married when we fight like we do? Which I understand completely. Now we are living together for 1 month and the fighting hasnt changed except we see eachother.
