I have been dating this guy for 2 months and we go out about every saturday night to his local bar. He does not drink but has ALOT of female friends that he works with. Last night at the bar a female came up to him and said that she missed his nightly massages that he gave to her and others while at work. Then I seen him blow a kiss to another girl across the bar. He also calls them baby. Should this concern me as far as getting into a serious relationship with this man. Yes you can say that this made me a bit jealous as I have never seen this side of him. He does get phone calls and text messages from other woman as well when we r together and says that they r just friends. We are both divorced and in our early 40s. Am I just being an immature and jealous girlfriend here? Or should I be concerned?

I live in Michigan and I am having a rough time financially and I have 4 different medical bills from a surgery. (which I can not believe what they charged between me and my old insurance company) Every month when I get a bill I pay $20.00 on it even though the bill says "pay in full" or "minimum amount due" and they have the total amount of the bill. I heard that as long as I keep paying them every month then they can not but it on my credit report, is that true??? Anything on this would help, please give me any feedback you have...Thank you

I personally believe in purgatory and I've always thought it was kind of like a waiting room were you get second chances and are judge by God. So what are your feelings and beliefs about purgatory?

Ever heard of WTO = Trade Related Aspect of Intellectual Property or Global monopoly of the world's market?

Yes, the International Corporations ( including Pharmaceutical ) lobby our government to enforce laws to make sure developing countries won't developed new drugs and tech. and become a competition.

In the TRIP agreement China, Chile, and other countries are allow to sell whatever they want in the US as long as they don't create generic products for the poor people in the world = Medicine

and guess who was in charge of the WTO = A Jew by the name of Paul Wolfowitz = the architect of the Iraq war

As such, why do so many people just sit by and just watch the debate, silently fuming, or otherwise don't even educate themselves on what's going on?
The time has come for society to make the changes they want to see.

Wise men's bones part of Catholic relics exhibit
By Stephanie Innes
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
The history
Epiphany, a Christian holiday celebrated Jan. 6, commemorates the day the Magi visited the newborn Jesus. In Latin-American tradition, the day is known as Three Kings Day.
The Bible doesn't say how many Magi followed the star until they found Jesus, but through the years the number three has been adopted in Christian tradition because they brought three gifts — gold, frankincense and myrrh. The story says the Magi — or wise men — came from the East and followed the star in search of the newborn king.
The three men are believed to have been astrologers, and their submission to Jesus often is viewed as the submission of magical arts and superstition to the Lord. Because the Magi apparently arrived after Christ was born, the date of Jan. 6 was adopted in about the fifth century. Various cultures adopted numerous Epiphany traditions through the years.
One that's popular in Europe includes blessing homes by writing the year, with the symbols C + M + B, in chalk above the front door of homes, a practice sometimes called smudging. Next year, that symbolism would read: 20 C + M + B 08.
Some believe the letters stand for the names of the three Magi later adopted by tradition: Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar. Others say they symbolize the Latin phrase "May Christ bless this house" — Christus mansionem benedicat.
If you go
The "Relics of the Three Wise Men" exhibit will be at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 8650 N. Shannon Road, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. today; and at St. Augustine Cathedral, 192 S. Stone Ave., 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Tiny fragments of bone believed to be remains of the three wise men who visited the newborn Jesus will be on display in Tucson for two days this week.
The Catholic relics tour, titled "Come Let Us Adore Him," will be at the Northwest Side's St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church today, and at Downtown's St. Augustine Cathedral on Tuesday.
"This is the closest I'm going to get to God in my physical lifetime," said Arizona Knights of Columbus spokesman John Garcia. "And since this is a time of Christmas, it puts us closer in touch with the birth of Christ."
The Arizona Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men's group, and the Apostolate for Holy Relics, a non-profit organization, are co-sponsors.
The exhibit is also expected to feature relics from the manger, fabric from the Virgin Mary's veil and Joseph's coat, and a bone fragment from St. Elizabeth, who was the Virgin Mary's ninth cousin.
"It's a tangible thread between heaven and Earth," said Thomas Serafin, a lay Catholic who is president of the Apostolate for Holy Relics.
"It allows us to gather as Christians and sometimes as non-Christians, put aside the man-made differences, give thanks, and ask for intercession for our lives and our families," he said.
The relics, which come from a collection in the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) in Cologne, Germany, were on display in Phoenix Nov. 30 and Dec. 2 and will return to Phoenix and Gilbert after the Tucson exhibit. Arizona is the first stop on the relics' international tour. The next stop is Guam.
Though the authenticity of the relics hasn't been scientifically proven, Garcia, the Arizona Knights of Columbus spokesman, said they have a long history of being venerated.
"Remember that this was a time when they needed something physical to believe with. It was a time of coming out of superstition," he said.
The Apostolate for Holy Relics says Emperor Flavius Zeno brought the Magi relics from Persia to Constantinople in the fifth century. Believers say the relics later appeared in the Basilica of St. Eustorgius in Milan, and then were taken to Cologne in 1162 after Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany invaded Italy.
The display in Cologne is called the Sarcophagus of the Magi. The exterior is seven feet of gilded silver and jewels, and inside are three golden-crowned skulls believed to belong to the Magi, or wise men.
"If my faith is what it is, it allows me to believe these articles really do go back to the point and time when they touched the Lord and Savior," said Tucsonan Antonio Otero, a parishioner at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and marshal for the Arizona Knights of Columbus. "That's why I'm so excited — it's something tangible that I can see with my eyes, and my Lord's eyes gazed at them as well."
Otero said he's not sure what turnout to expect. It is a busy time of year and it's difficult to gauge interest in relics, he said.
But he added that the relics are coming during the season of Advent, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, an important time of year to reflect on the Christmas season.
Serafin's organization has sponsored similar relic tours in Tucson.
In October 2003, about 2,000 Tucsonans saw the Tilma of Tepeyac relic, a half-inch square of cloth that Catholics believe was part of a tilma — an Aztec word meaning a poncho-like cloak — worn by St. Juan Diego in 1531 when the humble Aztec peasant spoke to the Virgin Mary on Tepeyac Hill outside Mexico City.
In February 2005, at least 1,200 Tucsonans saw the Relics of the Passion, said to be from Jesus Christ's last hours.
"We do need tangible things to make our minds work," Serafin said. "Scientific testing isn't as important as the meaning in the hearts of the people who visit the relics."

Aren't we already living in that reality? By your standards, the world has no God. We are all there is. What would you gain, by taking away religion?

If God is not part of the equation of life, I ask haven't we been living a life of atheism.

Who would dictate your lives better than the atheists who hide behind a puppet?

After all, are you ready to tell your children there is no heaven or hell?

That death keeps everything and we'll always be left with nothing.

Are you ready to tell them that all the success in the world means nothing, because it's all make-believe, just like the Bible?

I really want you to think hard. If you think religion is dead wrong.

What is life for? What are we suppose to be happy about, exactly? What life will be left?

Questioning the Bible is only the beginning, then we'll question the human mind / logic, human behavior, human value.

"God" is the key to our salvation. All which is good exists because that key is around. "Decisions"
