Society & Culture - 7 August 2006

I lost a very close friend 10 years ago. After his passing, I became very close friends with his family. Over the years, I have lost touch with them, and miss them terribly. I talked to his mother about a year ago and she was doing so well for the first time in years. I'm afraid that if I contact them, it'll bring back bad memories. Is it okay to contact them, or should I avoid them, and let them "move on"?

I'm bored on Monday nights and I don't want to drink. I need a place of socialization, and uplifting. I need a realm of good people to hang out with. I like to be intellectually stimulated.

I come here to enlighten all of you. I ask you... why do you believe in the Bible or the Quran? They have been proved wrong my modern science. They are the writings of a mad man. Wouldn't you rather believe in Oprah? Her magazines put together are far lengthier than the Bible, and they have color pictures. They teach you real life wisdom and practical skills.

To discover more about Oprah, go see www.oprah.com.

Oprah is the Goddess of the world. She our life giving mother. She was the first human woman. Her DNA can be found in all of us.

Do you do cigarettes?

If so, do you enjoy doing them? Would you quit?

If not, do you like them? Or hate them?

If you've quit, are you happy you quit?

Do they really listen and understand those outside their religion, or do they let their church and fellow Christians define other's, what they think, and who they are?

Do they really understand what is going on in the lives of other's, thier values etc, or do they only think they do?

Do they even understand each other, or are they looking for other Christians to model a role, while missing the inate person within? Do they love one another at the deepest core, or do they demand a role be played?

http://www.mountvernon.org/learn/collections/index.cfm/sss/22/cfid/2773444/cftoken/72483456 ......The Library holds approximately 500 documents in George Washington's hand, and the largest known assemblage of Martha Washington's letters, about 40 out of an existing 140. Although manuscripts written by George and Martha Washington are of primary importance to the Association, significant information also is communicated in documents written by estate managers, family members, neighbors, and visitors to Mount Vernon.

500 manuscripts? and we have 24,000 NT manuscripts today?

Tell me why you think George Washington lived, since you werent there and all...and tell me why you think Jesus Christ lived or not? thx :)

In Matthew 4:7 (NIV), Jesus tells Satan, "It is written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test'." But those who really know their Bible stories may be familiar with this scripture as well...

Malachi 3:10 (NIV), "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."

So my questions are:
1. Do you believe what Malachi 3:10 says about tithing? What is your take on this scripture.
2. What is tithing to you? Do you feel that tithing is more than monetary- meaning you give 10% of everything to God including your time? Or is tithing obsolete and/or does not apply to modern times?
3. Is tithing feasible in this day and age? Why or Why not?
4. Have you "tested" God? Do you tithe? If so, have you seen the blessings promised by God in Malachi 3:10.

It is difficult dometimes for me because I desire to have a closer walk with God. I go out on the weekends and have a good time too. I do not believe it to be a sin, have a couple beers with some friends. I do find though the Judgement of others. I want to get involved in my local church, but feel as though I would have to abandon some of these practices, because of what "people" would say. That is not fair, I am not being true to myself. or am I acting on my selfish desires. at what point do you make concessions to God for mankind's ignorance. I believe that within my heart my actions are not outside of the will of God. Do I wait for Man's heart to change, or make the unwanted sacfrice for Christ's blood...hmmm...think I answered my own question here!!

Okay, I'm sure about half the people answering are merely going to say I'm sick, even though I am just asking a question, so be it.
First of all, for you people who will answer something about the problems involved in reproduction, most of the things you hear are nont true and are myths. If you want, let's just eleminate the reproduction factor all together and merely debate the idea of intercoarse between two related people.
If you are going to answer this question, think about it a little bit and do not say "it's just wrong". Give a reason.

We have some new neighbors in an apartment building right next to us. There is no fence on that side of the yard, but I have told the children (who are outside alone) that they may not play in our yard. They were playing ball a few weeks ago and throwing the ball against our home and the windows, riding their bikes around in our driveway (with 2 classic cars right there) and using my daughters swingset and outdoor toys.

Each time, I nicely asked them to not play in our yard and showed them where our yard starts. Yesterday, they were back and with friends, all of them playing football in our yard about 10 feet from my front window. I went out and asked them to go play in their own yard and the mother came running, screaming about how they can play wherever they like and how I was ridiculous and rude for not letting them do what they want.

So if one of her angels falls or breaks a leg on our swings or one of our toys, are we liable for the injury? Thanks in advance!
