I've recently started going to church again, and have bounced around from various different ones trying to find the right place.
I think that personal spiritual beliefs are what's most important, so why is it that churches give people the option to officially "join" them? There are classes one has to take in order to become members.
What's the point of this, and is it biblical?

Thanks.

I was due yesterday and I DO understand the baby will come when he is ready but sheesh...... I am 4.5 cm dilated, 75% efaced for a couple of weeks now. My doctor stripped my membranes on Friday and I lost my mucus plug on Saturday. After she stripped my membranes my braxton hicks basically stopped and I feel better than I have for a long time! What is going on with me?

i go to a strict high school. We had our gym class today and we were playing baseball in the yard. I ran into this guy standing on the base accidentally. he pushed me so i pushed him (shoulder area) and then he started punching. i was then sitting in the school office for half the day thinking about what will happen and what will i tell my parents. I didnt hit him as it was broken up very early in the fight but he landed a couple of hits.

My questions are:
1. Should i be suspended?
2. How should i tell my parents?
3. What are some possible outcomes of this in life (good and bad)

... Universal Truth" [be that, or NOT, as It may] ever be subject to human interpretation (psychological, philosophical, scientific, theological, poetic, spiritual, or otherwise)?

Just because We are willing [for our own meaningful, goofy, or "what-have-you" reasons] to play The Game, it does NOT mean that The Game [if there is one] will be influenced by our moves - or does it?

P.S. Please note - This is NOT a question about: Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, observer influenced experiments, the mechanics of the Omnipotent Holy, or alike. … This IS a question about: The potential immutability of the underlying Universal Truth (of the physical Universe).

I have never really talked to people much in my life because I was always very shy. I was an only child and I didn't have much of a chance to communicate with other people. I can't seem to carry on a conversation very well and I know it goes back to my lack of interaction with others growing up. I would appreciate any advice on how to improve my overall social skills/communication skills. Thanks.

I've been told that I grind my teeth.

I'm guessing I do this in my sleep because I wasn't aware of it.

My two front upper teeth have been chipped and fixed, my last dentist said that if I kept grinding my teeth then I would break the fixed bit off my teeth.

He never told me how to stop grinding my teeth.

Does anyone know how i'm ment to stop this?

I've had orthadontic treatment and wear and vacuumed plate at night time.

Both my parents have songs picked out that they want played at their funeral. Dad want's "Islands in the stream" played, I dunno why though it is so cheesy but he loves the song so I guess it has meaning to him. My mum wants "Time in a bottle" played at hers. The only problem though is I can't listen to these songs now without crying! Do you have a song you want played at your funeral? If so what is it?
