I wouldn't bother asking a bunch of strangers if I wasn't in deep **** or really desperate. I'm 15 and iv had this friend (16). Where really tight so anyone who tells me to give up on him is wasting there time. His mom died of cancer when he was 9 and his dad got into alcohol. Anyone with common sense could tell something was ****** up in that house. Than the marks got worse and he was getting beat everyday with something. Last night we had a party at his house and things got broke like at all parties. I didn't know he was going to be in the emergency room. His dad said he fell down the stairs it didn't make any sense cause corey had marks from a metal pole and a belt, falling down the stairs doesn't do that to you. The hospital looked past it because his dad was the one that called the ambulance. When it happened he was helpless cause he was drunk. So when he was in the emergency room I asked him about his dad. I told him that he’s got to call DYFS of something. That didn't make him happy because he had big plans and that would **** it up for him. We started screaming and yelling, nothing new. Than i said, “corey your just like your ******* father” and he pushed me aganst the wall than he realizd what he was doin. That was the only time that's ever happened. The problem is he's becomin his dad, drunk and abusive he's so much more than that. He's got goals. He was the one that freaked about it, got in his car, and drove to the middle of nowhere. They found him passed out drunk laughing sayin how he was never going to drink again. I have a lot of questions but now that he's at home again with his dad i gota no what the hell do i do to help him? If this is abuse what will happen to him if his dad’s arrested? Why was he so upset after he hit me and why did he touch me like that? Sorry it was so long this is the summary...

I mean there are billions on stars, planets and other celestial bodies in the universe and God has to treat everyone equally. We are not even a millionth of a fraction in this universe, why do you think he is so worried about humans of all the things?

Are all of the Lord's flock ready to be called home?
The Rapture will be very soon at hand!

Do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

like Mohammed, Buddha, Rama, Krishna etc etc

Why do christians think that Jesus was Gods only son? Isnt that too narrow thinking and it breeds a contempt for other religions?

if one prayed for possible things it may come true ..
but if one prayed for impossible things .. then it will never come true ..
for example .. if you pray for that a pen moves from point A to point B .. then it will never move that way .. because this will conflict with what a majician doing ..
why some expect a verymuch form prayers .. it is like you demand something from a king .. then he may say yes or say no .. what is the problem with this ..

That will prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days?

Bible Clues: They are the two Olive trees and the two LAmpstands standing before the God of heaven....

And that they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, power over the plagues and they devour their enemies with the fire from their mouth, and that any man who would harm them will be punished except the Beast that will ascend from the Botomless Pit, because it was granted to the Beast to overcome and kill them......

The Scripture says the Word of God is of no private interpretation....

if the answers i'll get are not the same...then i will really be confused.....so please prove and support your answers. Thanks.

This is speaking of the Holy Spirit ...
Matthew 10:19,20
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Romans 8:8-10
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1930s '40s, '50s, '60s and ‘70s!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright- colored, lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and NO ONE actually died from this.


We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were okay.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.


We did not have Play stations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video-tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them!


We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.


We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!


Little League had tryouts, and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!


The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!


This generation has produced some of the best risk takers, problem solvers, and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!







And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!

Please help and pray for my dad. He has been suffering from stomach pains recently. HIs doctors have just discovered a large size stomach tumor that's causing him abdominal pain and pain during eating and drinking. They just performed a CT scan and biopsy, and we are all anxiously awaiting the results this coming Thursday 9/28/06.

Please help me pray for my father. Please help me pray that the lab results will show that tumor is benign and can be treated. He is such a kind and gentle person, and has always been a strong backbone for my mother, brother, and I. I pray that he will be with our family for a long time, and that he will be an able and healthy grandfather to the birth of his first grandchild next year. Thank you so much.

I have a bad habit of telling kids that Santa Clause was killed by a 747. When parents hear me tell this to children, they get REAL upset and say I shouldn't lie about that. I think to myself, Boy that is the pot calling the kettle black because isn't it a lie to tell kids that Santa Clause is real???

My acupuncturist seemed not to want to help me today...(this was my first visit)...when I went back in the office, the ladies unequivocally stated that the doctor (who is Asian) probably didn't want to help someone non-Asian...

I know that all types of folks get acupuncture...who agrees with their statements? If so, explain to me why he would not want to help me and what he would have against me (i'm a pretty, ethnic blend)...

If you don't agree or you have another opinion, pls share...I would like to think that since he opened a practice, he'd of expected all sorts of folks to come...
