You were all right, wrong formulated question:)So, this is the title of the book, do you know any site where it can be seen its entire text? Preferably in more different languages. For instance, I don't find it on their official site www.watchtower.org . Thanks again for help, guys.

in english and spanish, my languages, i suck...and i feel embarrased.. and Americans think of me as stupid, mexicans think of me as stupid. But when i speak japanese, which is a language i've been learning, many of the japanese people give me a welcoming energy , and i feel much more at home because they are happy to talk to me, and sure they might criticize me too, but . For some reason in japanese i feel more relaxed and vibrant. And i'm not one of those people that wishes to become japanese, not at all. I like my mexican and american culture, but japanese is something i like learning. However, i don't understand why in spanish and english i don't feel people appreciate what i say, but i feel appreciated by japanese when i talk in japanese.

I was born Christian, my parent were athiest. I was baptised for my grandmother, she is deeply religious. My aunt taught me and my sister wicca ever since i could speak. After 16 years i strayed and called myself athiest.

Now at age 23 i have a baptised son (grandma again), i feel that i need religion in my life and was searching for something that was right for me. i didnt believe in Christianity, and ive broken nearly all the commandments, wicca is seen as taboo and is not a good religion to tell people you pratice even though i believe in it, i dont really want to.

I found UU very intresting and it seemed to call me, i went to the web site and read about it, and since then it is all i can think about, and ive even called myself UU. The problem is my feance is steadfast athiest and doesnt want me to go to service, what should i do? and just running out and going wont work,

can you practice at home?

Anyone else UU? can you tell me about it?

Thank you

This is a NON-RACIAL question..............I have heard that since it was preached to the JEWS BEFORE Petecaust(sp?) that it was intended ONLY for the Jews. Is that true? If it is, then doesn't that mean that it is irrelevant to "Gentiles"?. Opinions or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Mohammad's Koran says Jesus wasn't killed by the Jews. Mohammad says Jesus was switched at the last minute by a look-alike. Why do you change your story when people ask about the Jews being responsible for killing Jesus?

What if human sperm was put inside a female chimpanzee and she got pregnant and a human/chimp hybrid was born? I mean tigers and lions can have fertile offspring and so can grizzly and polar bears. Would this change any Christian's mind on the subject of creation? Don't tell me that it would never happen. I just want to hear how you would react if it did. You'd pretty much have to acknowledge Evolution then. It would prove that we were related.

Romans 1:26-27 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural [para physin] ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

I am not a gay-basher, nor am I a Christian. I just find it funny that homosexuals constantly deny that the Bible is anti-homosexual. How can you believe in a religion that tells you your way of life which you cannot help is a sin?

Please do not answer by saying 'being gay is a sin... blah blah blah.' I'm looking to hear from gays whose parents are Christians or are Christians themselves or at least have wrestled with this question before.

P.S. I'm not gay.

I noticed something interesting while reading the bible. Christ doesn't really ever go on about homosexuality, abortion, or war against terror. Jesus seemed to care about things like helping the poor, and loving thy neighbor, so why are these the last things on the Christian Right's minds??

I live in the U.S. and i always see commercial of starving children,but it's always in poverty stricken parts of the world.Why don't they show commercials to help children living in this country.We here have a huge homeless problem,with many starving children.So why don't i see commercials about the homeless children here?
And i'm NOT saying those children from poor countries shouldn't be helped.I understand that they probably need it more,but isn't it also true that you have to tend to your own back yard.I hope this makes sense,and does not make me sound like an a**hole.

If I'm a Muslim, I don't get sex slaves til I get to heaven, but in Christianity I can have them on Earth! I think I like Christianity better.
