They are a natural part of life, but certain people find the use of those words offensive. Why...I ask you, why?

I have an aunt in her 70's who smells really really bad. Somehow it doesn't bother her, but people often comment about this behind her back, because everyone is afraid to mention this to her. She goes to the hair dresser once a week to get her hair washed, and that is the only time she washes her hair. She does not shower. She cleans up w/ a wash cloth on Fridays, and that's it. It is sickining and unhealthy. What can I do? I've bought her bath and shower products, and they just sit in her bathroom unopened. There is also a handicap essable shower in her house, that she doesn't use. And she doesn't like to wear perfume, so that answer won't help! Yikes!

My family jokes around a lot about being discovered, misnamed, and "Pilgrammidged", if there is such a word. We Americans "Indians" have a sense of humor but we would like a holiday that doesn't involve getting discovered or conquered. Halloween is big around my house.
Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.

1. Is hiring escort's a sin? Like a one time thing, just having pleasure.

2. Is sex before marriage a sin? I would also like to know that

3. Is oral sex a sin?

Sorry that all my questions had to do with sexuality, but that's the only thing that has the potential to injure my Christanity...'cause everything I'm fine with. Thanks!

I do.I believe that life continues after death but under different forms.Let me give you an example.When people sleep,which is similar to death,they sometimes have nightmares and sometimes good dreams.When they die ,they will have eternal dreams,good or bads.It depends on the nature and deeds of their souls.
I don't believe in incarnation because when Man dies his soul discards his body and will never go back to a matter.
That's what I feel and I hope that's right.

I did a search for the word "terror" in the New International Version and came up with the following:

Genesis 35:5
Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.
Exodus 23:27
"I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.
Deuteronomy 2:25
This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you."
Deuteronomy 11:25
No man will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
1 Samuel 11:7
He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel, proclaiming, "This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel." Then the terror of the LORD fell on the....

What is it about products which makes us buy them? There is a wide selection of any one product, but why do choose a particular one?

Please answer the following questions:

What made you choose the watch you own?

Have you ever bought a product on impluse

Would you consider aesthetics important when buying a camera?

Have you ever bought anything you knew to operate poorly?

There is nothing in your religion that says you have to wear the hijab and other veils. This is a way of your UNsecure men to feel secure so that no other man can look at you......

IT is also an insult and mistrusting you if your men prefer you women to wear hijabs and veils as it means that they do not trust you not to have sexual thoughts and actions when you see other men. Surely you Can and do control your urges....so many women do....so what is so special about muslim women that they have to cover themselves. Your men do not respect you.....thay are unsecure and therefore make you wear the veils....what a joke ......Islam does not say for you to wear the veil ...it is your cultural hang ups pr rather should i say of your men ...that is causing all this. Take off your veils and let us see you......do not live in the middle ages.....but also follow islam!

I really need the money and I saw an ad in the Castro City paper about a job opening at a gay bar that pays very well. If I do get the job should I pretend to be gay? If so could you please tell me how to act gay?

Intercessionary prayer is by definition a request for god to do something different to that which he is currently doing - for example to help your parent with cancer into remission. If you maintain that god is perfect, it seems like prayer is redundant, since whatever he's doing is necessarily already for the best. In fact it could even be considered an insult, to question his judgement. So why do theists pray and what's the reasoning behind doing so?

I want to put my education qualifications on my visiting card (personal one). In my culture it is acceptable to do so but I am not sure what the correct etiquette is. I did my Masters in the UK and my undergrad in the US - is that something I would include? Any help would be appreciated! ! !

The Quran calls them Jinn, but in the west, we know the cute like smokey creatures as GENIES! Be careful not to joke about them in front of Muslims, because you will see very quickly, they dont like it. Which is what my question is about...and its pointed at Muslims...and they know exactly what I am referring to.

You see, talking about Jinn (Genies) to Muslims is like talking about the crazy uncle in the family or the brother in jail for child molesting...it creates the 'nail on the chalkboard effect' for them.

The Quran literally babbles on and on about this race of creatures living side by side with man...right now!!! They are not invisible either...ohhh no! I tell muslims all the time, the moment I see Jinn or find the sun in a muddy spring, like the Quran says, I will join Islam, even though the idea of living in single sex communities is perverse and disgusting to me.

I was in conversation with one of my friends today and he said some interesting remark. He said, "One must bow to one's lot. It is the will of Heaven, one cannot struggle against fate."
At the time, I was preoccupied with something else and didn't ask him what he meant exactly. After constantly thinking about this phrase for a while, I am still not sure what it exactly means. If anyone knows what the phrase means, could you please share your insights? Can you explain using examples if you can?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
