My dad still works at a minimum wage job, but gets excellent benefits and social security. I do have a job myself but I find it hard to support me, my wife and children along with my parents. My dad is 75 and he says that he might not have enough money to live if he retires. I always insisted that he retire and I can help him out. As a child, you always want to return something to your parents. He claims that he wants to retire and does not work anymore. He feel that we would not have enough to survive. I feel kind of guilty that he is still working at 75 years old. Please help me cope with this feeling. Do you know anyone that works at 75 yrs old?

I'm 20 and haven't dated. Now I just avoid the topic of relationships or lie because I'm so embarrassed I've never had one.

Is it always going to be this way for me? Help?

I understand that people want to know who created life and all, and mostly, it seems that Catholics have a strong edge on that, but really...does it matter THAT much to make things official? I do believe in a creator but that's it, mainly. I don't want to get such a strong thought that i want to try to convert people to it! So why all the fuss? I believe in God and Jesus and all but I;m not headstrong about knowing THE TRUTH!

I also think, personally, that the fact the someone believes in a creator, that's enough and as long as they're happy, that's all they need in life, because who knows where we came fro, anyway. If the Catholic GOD created us in his image, then he should understand our curiosity and eagerness to know, right? If he did make us, he'd know what all people go through in life; pressure, beliefs, love, all that. So, my question is, do you think that knowing if god exists is that important and that the world wants to make an official one alright to do so?

In John 21:11 it says "Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken." Why 153, and why would someone count them?

I don't think that it is myself, but I am very curious at other people's reactions.

I keep hearing people claim that Christians need to live right, stay away from porn and promiscuous sex, never, never, never contemplate abortion (you'd think that was the unforgiveable sin committed by the Pharisees), and attend enough church council meetings and you'll be good to go.

What happened to being filled with fire? What happened to Christ's command to love and serve the poor (instead of railing against welfare programs)? If we as Christians are against abortion, shouldn't we be spending some good time helping single mothers in desperate situations out?

Shouldn't we be working to bring God's Kingdom here on earth by showing grace, mercy, love, to other people, even the most supposedly sinful and downcast? Would Christ do any less?

I'm 54 yr male, married 18 yrs. The last 7 with no sex or intimacy at all. There is no love in this marriage, just casual living conditions. She's pretty, sweet and caring.
She's a teacher, I'm retired due to my multiple personality disorder, MPD. I've 19 personalities, children, females, teens & adults. My psychiatrist says I'll never intergrate,(to become just one personality) due to the severity of the emotional and physical abuse I endured as a child. I know she likes me. She would leave me but feels responsible for me, like a parent. She thinks I would not be able to live alone or find someone that could become close to me and live with me. I honestly thinks she stays with me because she feels sorry for me. She could find another man easily. My abusers where all females. I was abused for 7 yrs ,birth to age 7. I worked 35 years until my illness destroyed my ability to work. I loose hours and hours of time each day. Help please? I am like Cybil, just a male.

It seems today parents are much more involved in their kids activities and hover over their every move. Is this a function of smaller families and is it a bad thing?
