Like President Carter, will he involve himself in something like habitat for humanity? Perhaps he will call it " Palatial habitats for rich cronies?"

I am a progressive liberal so I am a little more enlightened then your average american. As such, I try to improve the world through my good works, I recently saw a documentary about how hard it is for criminals to get back on their feet after prison. I was ddeply moved. These men are heroes, and we all know that it is society that is to blame for why these men commited crimes. I invited three men to come stay with me after they got out. My wife and daughters were mad, but it was the right thing to do. Things are not going too well, they men trash my house and laugh about it. They steal and sell my things. They use my money to buy alcohol and prostitutes. I tried getting them jobs but they won't go. They beat up my neighbor for no reason and then they sexually assualted my wife and daughters. What should I do? I don't make a lot of money because of the republican economy and can't afford it. I know it is not these heroes fault, but i can't live with them anymore. what can I do?

How about dictate peace?

Spread 'freedom'?

Force faith on people that don't want it?

Why or why not?

She had a homosexual past, etc. but apparently, she is a heterosexual now. She is married and has a child, but I do not buy it at all. You either are gay, or not. There is no "changing my mind because the bible says that it is wrong". I sometimes send her pictures of men without shirts on and she thinks that it is "disgusting" and she never talks about guys, ever. But then, she wrote a blog entry on the most beautiful Hollywood actresses. I think that what she is doing is unnatural and completely unhealthy. Do you think that people can just "stop" being gay?

This question was deleted for some reason so I am asking it again.

I haven't even converted to the religion I want to yet and I am having big issues with my family. I don't know how to deal with it anymore. It's mostly my mom and my sister, but my whole family is treating me so different.

All my sister does is tell me I'm going to Hell almost every day, but my mom is much worse. She always has to make snide remarks about the Catholic Church. I can't even have a discussion with her because she turns everything into religion and then it just ends in a big fight. I don't even want to talk to her anymore. She tells all my brothers and sister "Well at least you're not stupid enough to want to be Catholic" when they make a mistake, right in front of me. I'm getting tired of it, and I can't argue or yell at her because I get in trouble for being disrespectful.

I've tried to give her reasons why I chose Catholicism over Mormonism, but she never lets me finish because she always interrupts me. I told her a couple days ago how Mormons believe that God was once a man, and in the Bible it says something to the effect of how God is and has always been the same. She didn't believe me and she kicked me out of the house in my socks and volleyball shorts while it was raining and I had to walk to my friends house to stay the night.

Other then that all I hear from her is that I've screwed up my life, eternal and worldly.

It's not like I try to bring it up. It’s just that every time we talk she turns into a religious fight and I can't just walk away from her or I get in trouble. I can't stand it anymore, but I don't know what to do. I don't know if I can put up with three more years of this, because I have to wait until I'm 18 to be baptized.

Is it worth it to be baptized? Part of me wants to anyways just to get away from this because I know they won't talk to me if I do, but the other part of me doesn't want to loose my family. However, I don't want to spend the rest of my life going to a church that I don't believe just to make them happy.

There’s a lot more to this, but my post is already long enough so I won't put it down.

If any other converts of any religion have had to put up with similar behavior, what happened and how did you deal with it? How are you doing now?

even though we may think we could be somewhere else? Do you believe that ALL HAPPENS FOR THE GOOD FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD? I had to make a decision under pressure and that changed my whole life. There are times I wonder if I did the right thing.....but now it is too late to regret. I do want to believe that the Lord is always in control - even when these kind of thoughts come to my mind.

when i talk to God, i get chills all over my body.

then why hasn't He intervened?

If He hears our daily prayers, even our supplications with tears and outcries (which happen frequently)..why hasn't he answered or even made a way out?

And don't tell me to talk with the elders, the first thing that came out of their mouths when I came to this hall is "how could you be a pioneer and then be inactive for 2 months" not even caring that I was in the hospital....when I go to the meetings, i either get ignored or have someone make a smart comment to me...

I want to serve Jehovah, but it seems like he doesn't want me...I want to get my life in order but why doesn't he want me to serve him?
