the phrase 'he doesn't cut the mustard' quite simply means, he hasn't got it, he can't do it, he doesn't have the balls to do it. But where did the phrase come from???

For instance, I daydream a lot, and if I have a daydream about something concerning a specific person, that daydream will happen to a degree. Such as, if I have a daydream that I will have a specific conversation with someone I usually do not see, I will have some sort of contact with that person. Or, once I had a daydream that my cousin got stabbed, (do not know why), but the next day his friend was stabbed in the hand. I am trying to direct my daydreams to see what happens. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it just coincidence?

I live in France, and when I see Mormon missionaries, they all wear that tag with their name, and 98% have the title "elder".

But most of them are so young! I have formal knowledge of English, and don't really know habits common in American churches, and something strikes me as wrong. I'd normally think that elder would be a title given to senior church members, not students still wet between the ears.

So I wonder : to what kind of people is that title given?
a) It is no indication of seniority and is given to anybody who has graduated from sunday school?
b) It is a title given to missionaries?
c) It does mark seniority because missionary work is a fast track to rise in the church?
d) something else of which I could not think.

The Vatican has over 50 miles of secret documents that cannot be viewed by the Public.

For a Christian, Moral, Entity why so much secrecy? Would releasing all these documents show the Church to be no more than a Propaganda machine?

What are you looking for? Is this a 'virtual arena' substituting for your rage that you want to manifest physically..by hitting or beating someone....but can not or are really a timid type person? Are you really 15 years old and know it all? Are you 40 years old and don't want to have to answer for all the screwed up things you did/do?

Is it just plain fun to hate? Or to hate a croup or groups of people?

Do you ask questions so new people will run out of answer allowance?

Is it just a race for points and spirituality is just a sign on the door?

Are you just looking for someone to bash, like they did to you when you were in school?

Do I annoy you?

I just want to debate. I read what you say. I look it up. I see other possibilities listed alongside. I say those. I am bashed. Why?

For example, when I was a very new convert I tried to share my beliefs with my family. They are Christian, but didn't just say, "No, we don't believe what you're saying." but they said, "No, we don't believe what you're saying, and we don't believe you know what you're saying. We don't want it even discussed in our presence." They rejected the message, and almost the messenger.
Since all who haven't had the opportunity to hear the Gospel on earth will have the opportunity to hear it on the other side, wouldn't it have been better if I had never said anything to my family? I mean, what's the point of risking someone's eternal future? If they hear it here, and don't accept it, but accept it on the other side, they aren't eligible for the Celestial Kingdom anyway, right? So what's the point? At least if they accept it on the other side without ever having heard it here, they could attain the Celestial Kingdom. Members, what do you think?

as this subject came up this morning
does anyone know who John Titor, the name used for the purported time traveler from the year 2036 really was?
I remember he just dropped off the net one day but didn't anyone claim credit for being "John Titor" and getting all the true believers all worked up?

By this I mean is something right or wrong in Christianity depending on the consequences, or should Christians just follow rules (as in the O.T.)? Some people say it is a combination, but how could this work? Please share your ideas...

I am a Satan Worshipper, and have been for 2 years. Im not a kid looking for attention, Im 21 years old. I was a "born again" Christian until I was 16. I often go into the christian chat room because the ones who are not prejudiced against my religion often make good friends. But then others say things like "God Bless you", "I'll pray for you", "Jesus loves you", and worse yet "You're going to hell", "All will bow to the lord", "Satan is Evil", "You're a gothic kid looking for attention", etc etc, I can go on all day. My point here is, do they think I didnt know any of this? Do they think We're ignorant? We know the Holy bible better than most christians and choose to not follow them, but no matter how much we tell them to leave us be with that stuff, they mess with us. We hardly ever start the conversation. We choose to believe what we believe, why cant they respect that? Please, christians, dont reply with christian phrases or insults, it will only prove what Im trying to say. Thanks

all i want just to get you the real picture:

1. so first your God came from birth as a little baby born?

2. then his mother calmed him down when he cries, feed him when he is hungry, and dresses him up?

3. then God mother starts to teach him how to walk, and play with him?

Is this is your God?

how about worshiping the God who created you and created Jesus inside his mother womb instead? why do you hide the truth and you are well aware of it? the one who created this whole universal. To Him belong all what's between the heavens and the earth.

Why Christianity does seeking for uneducated rural tribesmen to spread their religion. Are they going back to the beginning of Christianity? Like the time when Jesus mock around with sheep’s and fishmongers. Do you think the people who are joining today have an idea about what is the actual plan of Vatican? Why the Hindu idiots can not care for all the humans equally?

We are having a "small" birthday party for my three-year-old son today. We originally only wanted to invite three families, but the problem is that one of the families that we invited is part of a group of our friends who usually always invites the "whole crowd" (several families of friends) to these kinds of things. We feel like if we invite one family, we should invite them all. We are afraid of the rest of these families (like six) finding out and being angry with us or feeling like we've snubbed them. One of the (six) families is our next-door neighbor, so they're probably going to notice something going on, and since they invited us to their daughter's party in the past, we would feel really bad if they thought we just didn't invite them. So even though this party is TONIGHT, we are wondering, should we just invite these people? Or just risk them getting upset with us?
