THE SILENT TREATMENT

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were
giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized
that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for
an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he
wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it
where he knew she would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00
AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see
why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

(..... I'm sure those of us that are married, can all appreciate the humour)....LOL

I dont want to disrespect anyone because I think people are free to believe what they want. I just dont understand it but I want to.

Hi, I am a 24 yr old guy with lust problem. Since 16, I have always been highly interested in opposite sex. But as a Christian, and due to personal belief, I decided to save virginity till marriage.
Due to high hormone level and high interests in sexuality, I had to find some outlets to release tensions and hormones besides sex. Then I found porn/masturbation which addressed it. At the time, I saw nothing harmful about porn/mb and thought it was all normal thing to do, especially for a teenage guy like me.
About 2 yrs ago, I finally started to feel harmful effect of porn. I would have hard time controlling myself from porn. I also fantasize a lot about sex scenes and hot women I saw from porn videos. My brain has become so sexualized that I think about sex a lot.
Some say this is all normal because most guys think about sex every 10 seconds. But I feel this is wrong. This goes against my belief, moral values deep inside my heart.
How can I gradually reduce sexual thoughts?

Shouldn't christians spend more time helping the poor, injured, and downtrodden instead of worrying about gays being happy and pregnant teens getting an abortion?
Shouldn't evangelicals be voting democrat?

Is it so racist in America that racial discrimination is part of the very fabric of this sick twisted society? I am from Tibet and I was harrassed by the police and called racist names by the police.

You may agree, you may disagree, but i don't care. I think it's time to put a stop to this. All my life I see stupid people on the internet and on the media. I'm talking about racism!! It's still everywhere! What's going on here? It's bad enough I'm part of the minority, but it's getting ridicoulously too much!

If this offends you and I hope it doesn't, guess what? You have to forgive me! We are all the same and I hope you enjoy, Plz let me know, Thanks.

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, " When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.
He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2)There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3)There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4)Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5)Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ***.
6)We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7)The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.
8)David slew Goliath, he did not kick the sh*t out of him.
9)When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ***.
10)We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say " Eat me" .
12)The Virgin Mary is not called " Mary with the Cherry,.
13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at ST.Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

How could a church with so many followers allow that to happen? It would be bad enough to cover or deny the high leader sinning the way he did, but to reward him with a generous severance package? So what does that say about the Christian community?

Why do old people like moth balls so much? I mean, Ive never heard of anyone actually having a problem with moths. Do moths really eats clothes? How long do you have to have a piece of clothing before it's destroyed by moths? I don't get it!

I do! What the theist must prove, the atheist must disprove, and since we have no evidence for or against, both theism and atheism are illogical!

If something has happened in the past, do you believe it will happen again?
