Society & Culture - 27 August 2006

I've been wondering this for a while. I know that I have to work to make money for me and my family. Just thinking about going to work everyday for the rest of my life really turns me off. Is there anything that anyone can tell me that can open my eyes to the positive side of working. I'm not lazy or anything like that, I just love spening time with my wife and daughter and hate leaving them everyday.

Matt 28:1-2
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary visit the sepulchre and see one angel.

Mark 16:1, 5
Mary Magdalene, the other Mary, and Salome visit the sepulchre and see one "young man".

Luke 24: 4, 10
Mary Magdalene, the other Mary, Joanna, and "other women who were with them" visit the sepulchre and see two men "in shining garments".

John 20:1
Mary Magdalene visits the sepulchre and sees no men or angels until after Peter and "the other disciple" visit the sepulchre. Mary eventually sees two angels.

II Tim 3:16 "...all scripture is given by inspiration of God", yet obviously those inspired can get it wrong.

Often I've heard it said either it is all right or it is all wrong. Care to explain why you believe all of these quotes are right when they contradict each other?

Have you ever felt like someone is behind you,then turned around and noone was there? Have you ever felt that someone touched you and again noone was there? Have you ever saw a light shadow when actually noone was there?

I'm trying to fill the void in my life. So far the following things don't work.

- Girlfriend didnt' fill the void.
- Friends didn't fill the void.
- Computer games didn't fill the void.
- Work doesn't fill the void.
- Hobbies didn't fill the void.
- Christianity hasn't filled the void, although that could be entirely my fault which it probably is of course.

I tried to be a Christian and I guess i'm still trying. But it would help to hear God say a few words out loud so I can hear.

Has anyone heard the voice of God? Hearing with your heart & mind does not count. I mean actual verbal speech you can hear with your ears.

So to sum it up. Does anyone know how to go about asking God to speak to them verbally so you can actually hear His words? What can I do? What sacrifices? I think to hear his voice would fill the void..

Anyone have any success?

BTW.. Do I sound too self centered? That may be a reason that i'm feeling a void...

To the question why is America hated? Bush answered, saying, they hate us because we're the beacon light of freedom. They hate us because we're good. They hate us because we are the land of opportunity. And others say they hate us because they envy us because of the way we live and the wealth that we have. Pastors and preachers and Reverend Franklin Graham said that they hate us because we're Christians and they want us all to be Muslims.

The destruction of the world trade centre and the attack on the pentagon has been described as the greatest act of terrorism.
However history demonstrates that the most horrific acts of Terrorism has been carried out by the freedom loving democratic nation, the United States of America . According to their own Official FBI definition of terrorism: “Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or socia

I try to put my faith in God and allow Him to guide my Life; yet, sometimes I find myself worried over "petty" things ~ things that I know that I have NO CONTROL over. What are some ways to keep my FAITH more dominant than my FEAR?

So I rubbed it and I had this like sensation that I never felt before. Is this a common thing that everyone feels when they rub their special spot, or is it just me? Because I called my friend from school and told her and she said that she was going to try it and that she would call me back. That was an hour ago. I just called her house and her mom said that she was in the bathroom. And then her mom said she sure is taking a long time to get ready this morning.

Although I have always worked, I found myself rehoused here after my daughter was assaulted and injured, at 13, by a thuggish boy. We had to flee our rented house and the Council put us in a tower block.

For 12 years it's been relatively ok, we had an elderly lady above and one below. Then the lady upstairs died and a young Chav couple moved in.

Ever since I have had to endure the nastiest, thumpiest teknomuzzak, as well as him screaming at her and bouncing her off the wall (twice, when I and other neighbours called the cops, the stupid girl said "they were playing" to cover-up for him).

I can't abide the way they scream at their poor little toddler, call her a "f*****g little c**t!" or "b*****d!". They keep her up 'till 3 am, dancing or fighting with each other, presumably on drink/drugs.

If I call the police again or report the noise nuisance, they'll only lie, deny it and then victimise me some more; frankly, I fear a petrolbomb reprisal.

Any LEGAL suggestions?

Yesterday I was over at my friends house and her brother told me that I need to chill out. He said "smoke some weed, that will calm you down". Well, I never heard about smoking weed b4 but I went home and went out to my mothers garden. I found all the weeds that I could and I went into my room. I lit them up and tried to smoke them, but nothing happened except that I almost burnt my parents house down!!!! Why would he tell me to smoke weeds?!!!!

Most of them said they would.
