My birthday is on Halloween. Some people said it's a "devils" birthday. Is it true? If so, is it bad?

"If a man shall smite you on the cheek, then offer him the other". I think not. I'm more likely evade or block the attack, if possible and then either run or fight back. What altruistic benefit is there to be derived form allowing another to abuse me? Perhaps theres more implied in this verse than seems immedietly obvious. I could turn my body 180 degrees offering the other cheek followed by a back kick or some other technichue before he actually gets a chance to hit it. The bible doesn't actually say this. Then again it doesn't say not to.

Everyone is always talking about equality then, how come there is BET the black entertainment channel but not WET channel that would be racist. And why is there a NAACP but no WAACP cause it would be racist? Furthermore, how come there is a black chamber of commerce but if we had a white one, once again racisim...

I'm ALL for equality but shouldn't it be equal for everyone?

And whats all this talk about reverse racisim, that's not even a WORD! So if someone white is being persecuted and the News calls it Reverse racisim are they implying that only minorities can be persecuted??? If a white person is being persecuted shouldn't it just be called racisim???

What do YOU think?

I think it's ridiculous to keep changing the time! We aren't farmers, and not many people get up at dawn anymore and need light. Also, by making it darker in the evening I think we will be using more electricity because people will be home having dinner or whatever and need the lights on. Could we vote to stop doing this? It's ridiculous!

I'm making a family tree in Spanish and have to describe my relatives, just wanna make sure I'm writing it correctly.

How do you say:
"My family is big/large."
"I like to have fun."
"She talks a lot."
"She loves to sing."
"She's really nice."
"He sings and cooks very well."
"He's caring."
"He's funny, but kind of a brat."
"They are deceased/dead."
"He is deceased/dead."

Also, when you say older half-sister is this right? Mi media hermana mayor or mi medio hermana mayor? Please correct me! Thank you!

What would you say to the man if one day you walked around the corner and came face to face with him.

If in a few seconds you had a chance to make any impression on him, would you pat him on the back, wash his feet, convince him of his delusions or even attempt to lead him to salvation and repentance in Christ.

Are you up for it?

People start celebrating the holidays a little bit too much and too early in my opinion. Any one else feel the same way?

a lot of things I don't understand.
Ok in Isaiah ch 55 vs 7. The Bible mentions that when you are saved that you should put away all your wickedness, right?
So does that mean, to do it right away? For example those that hooked on cigarettes can't just up and quit overnight because of withdrawl symptoms. and the same with people hooked on perscription drugs ect.
So here's where I'm stuck. When God saves you he does it immediatley right? So when you change your ways, does the Bible say you are to do it right away - all at once?
I know many of you are way more knowledeable and way more studied than I am.

In a recent Q about theology and research, myavatar said she'd got a leaflet saying if there were more Jehovah's Witnesses the Holocaust wouldn't have happened (which struck her as unscholarly). But in fairness to the JWs I think it might have been saying that, because all JWs are conscientious objectors to war, if everybody had been like them, there wouldn't have been a war (hence, no Holocaust). I have never seen this leaflet, though. New System Lady asked us to check the latest tract they're distributing world wide. Is this the same leaflet?

If my guess is correct, there's a problem. The theory looks good until we realise that JWs say the final war of Armageddon is about to erupt and only good JWs can reasonably hope to survive it. So if 7 million baptised JWs survive (give or take a few million) that means BILLIONS of people will die a horrible death. Puts the Holocaust in the shade. I'm all for pacifism and won't knock the JWs for that, but can't they see the problem?

Take a look at this video, from a major mideastern telivision show. At a mere 3 and a half years of age, young Basmallah already knows the Jews are apes and pigs and that Muhammad was strong enough to kill his enemies. At least she understands Islam better than President Bush.

Well,I friend of mine used to work as a hustler when moved from Europe to Los Angeles.I know it's considered illegal and immoral but it seemed he had no other choices.He was devasteted by what he did for a living and actually he started taking drugs.Eventually he died run over by a truck.I just feel so sorry for his misfortune.What do you think of those that sell themselves to try to live in a society that doesn't leave other chances?

Simple research will show that the virgin birth is a common religious metaphor that is meant to symbolize the enlightenment experience (Jesus and Buddha were metaphorically described as having a virgin birth). Why do people react so negatively to this?

Newfolden, Minnesota!

Now its your turn. If you grew up in a small town, tell us where it is! Tell us what it was like. And if you're living in an urban area now, tell us what's different and what's similar. This ought to be fun! =D
