shabbat shalom :)

if there are any jews on right now (its not exactly the best time of the week to ask a question online to jews lol) i was just wondering if you have any special shabbat traditions other than the regular ones? what is shabbat like for you personally?

and also, just an amusing video to put us into the shabbat mood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdqbQNrF_YE

enjoy :)

It's Crap. Dianetics is BS. How can you get rid of the reactive mind? That's like saying that they are taking a piece of your brain out of you so you can forget about the bad, stupid, ugly things you've done. Why would you want to forget when, where, and how you did something wrong if you learn something from it? i.e. learned a lesson, learned right from wrong because of the effect of your cause that you yourself made? Basically L. Ron Hubbard is saying you can simply forget about all the bad things you did and start fresh, and make the same mistakes over and over again because your religion tells you that you are freed if you stick to the "Step by Step" process of cleansing yourself of your "engrams".
And isn't "auditing" the very thing psychology is? I mean, when you go see a psychologist or therapist regarding your problems, you talk about them right? This guy is a freakin Science Fiction Author for god sakes, not a spiritual leader. HOLD ON, I HAVE TO POST AN ADD ON.

is it such a thing to be so absorbed in god's word until your closest friend's feel you are beating them over the head with the word and when they see you coming they run away because of your preaching/ranting/raveing about the word... and yes i 'am a christian?

There is no part of the brain that can be stimulated to evoke a mind. Thus, where comes the mind? Is it spirit? Is it soul?

Matter does not possess the property of consciousness, for if it did, we would have no free will. We would be deterministisic, in a materialistic universe.

Just a thought.

A colleague at work, recently told me that he was gay. A shock to me as i had no idea he was that way inclined. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet, but the thought of his love life really disgusts me. He confinds in me, as he looks at me as a 'mother figure'.
I can accept two women in a relationship, but two men is a different story.
How do i tell my colleague what he doe's i find offensive, and yet i can accept two females in a relationship.
And no, i have never been in a lesbian relationship, and have no inklings to try either!!
HELP

There's a logical problem with the existence of an omnipotent deity. Omnipotence (literally, "all power") is power with no limits or inexhaustible, in other words, unlimited power. If this is so, to have unlimited power you'd have to have the ability to destroy anything, right? That would have to include yourself since you are something. If God can destroy himself, he's mortal and therefore not omnipotent. If he cannot destroy himself he's limited in power, same problem. Omnipotence is a logical fallacy.

I occasionally get very accurate but totally random and useless snippets of thing that are going to happen. Has anyone else had this happen and do you have any control over it?

"You may think that you have to combat evil and chase it out of your heart and mind, but this is wrong. The practice is to transform yourself.

I am emo, skinny jeans tight shirts, studded belt belt buckles etc. Well nearly all the boys at my college that arent my friends call me gay. I am not in the slightest bit gay. I have had a girlfriend for the past ten months. I dont act or sound gay, i get comments from girls about being really hot, but i get comments from guys that go "He looks so gay", or "Hahaha ******"

I really dont understand why boys feel the need to call other boys gay, when they so obviously arent. Girls dont call each other lesbians.

One of my friends told me that the boys who continuously go on about other boys being gay are the ones that are themselves unsure of their orientation.

Any girls help me out?

Forgive me for my sudden fascination with the concept of rules...

Whose rules do you follow--not rules would you *like* to be following, but rules you consistenly follow in your daily life? Why these?

Don't you think that human choose the truth that suit him ?
Or maybe don't choose , just take what is given by his family ?
Is there absolute truth ?

Especially if he is jealous? Psycologicly, Jealousy is a sign of insecurity and doubt in yourself. How can somthing that is perfect have this type of flaw?
