Society & Culture - 10 September 2006

I heard that when we experience De Ja Vu in our lives, we are getting a "reading" or a "sample" of our pre-determined life. I'm very skeptical but the invidual gave a good example:

Imagine going on a road trip from point A to point B. You've never been to the destination so you use a map as a guide. In the map, you also find some markers that gives you a "reading" that you're on the set path. So, as you go along this trip and hit these markers, they are reminding you that your are where you're supposed to be.

If you look at De Ja Vu events in your life, could they not be markers in your road trip of life?

What do you think?

Or i's (sic) it a new fashion to be putting an inverted comma before every "s" these days? Do people not know the differnce in meaning between, for example, "Schools" (means more than one school) and "School's" (means belongs to the school, as in "That school's record is poor")?

I even saw a recruitment advert the other day asking for "Chef's... with skills" - i.e. they pluralised "chef" with ('s) but not "skill". Do people no longer bother to proof-read things?

I accept I may be turning into a grumpy old man, but surely I'm not the only one who finds this poor?

For me, it's fun to discover answers to things I didn't know I didn't know and waffle on about things I do know - what are your reasons for being here on this site? Just curious.

Universally it is proclaimed by many that by chanting the name of the God, one gets peace of mind. Every religion and philosophy supports this. How it happens ?

i am a non muslim. i am likely to convert into Islam soon.
For the last two years i have fasted during Ramadhan, however after a lot of reading on Islam, i am not sure as to whether my fast is valid one as a non muslim and two, because i dont say the prayer at the time the fast opens and closes.
any advice will be appreciated.

If "He" is almighty and omnipresent and all-powerful, how big was his penis? He could probably make it really big. And if you're under the assumption that God has no human form, therefore no human-formed penis and scrotum, then what about Jesus?

And Adam? If Adam had a tiny package Eve would not have procreated with him and that story would have ended quickly.

do you think if someone does not have friends- they are missing out?
Or do you think friends are not needed at all?
I believe friends can help to make us better people, but sometimes they can become too clingy.

Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 predicted our savior and Messiah 700bce "He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man. He will be despised and rejected, and lay down his life as an atonement for sins.

I did as Messiah said to do and let him in my heart to forgive my sins, and help me be delivered from sins that is when he became my best friend. i just prayed for it to happen as he asks. Revelation 3 vs 19&20

have you let him save your soul-yes or no-if u disagree with Jesus its a free choice-you as he says get to go to hell gnashin teeth forever, and miss the joy of him in this life and heaven to come--Revelation 19-22nd chapters descirbes heaven and hell.

have you let him in your heart to save your soul and be your friend--- yes or no?
