I know I'm supposed to ask questions here, but I thought I should make my presence known first.

I have two female counsins who are sisters who are in their mid-30s. Every time the family gets together, it's not unusual for them to huddle in a corner and whisper to each other behind their hands. This happens several times during our gatherings. Have you seen this happen during social gatherings? What do you think of it?

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus...

I recently posted a question and referred to a group as RADICAL ISLAM. One muslim answered and said I should not call this group "radical islam" because their violence and terrorism proved that they were not truly muslim. He felt I was creating a category called "radical islam" that actually doesn't exist because one cannot be truly a muslim and also be radicalized and violent. He was offended by my use of this term.

After reading his answer I can see how he would be offended. Problem is, how does one refer to this group of terrorists who use violence to achieve their ends without offending true muslims. What should we call this group in discussions so as to be able to identify who we are talking about without offending true muslims?

Not trying to judge. Just really want to know. Please no angry responses.

My husband is so hard to shop for. I have bought him shirts, pants, DVD's and CD's. He is in Iraq, so it would be something that can ship easy and I wouldn't have to worry about insuring the package.

Emo - short for emotional
It has been in the trend now especially for the youth. And even Christians are embracing this trend. The music, styles, hair, attitude, everything about emo christians seem to enjoy it too.
But I find emo so gothic and satanic. This is just my own opinion. Is emo right /good for christians? Thanks guys and Godbless

The American Red Cross currently does not accept blood from any man who admits to past sexual activity with other men. It does not matter whether you have had only 1 partner and are completely HIV negative. Do you agree with this practice?

this is from one of their awake! magazines. i wish more christians thought like this.

"Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral. They respect the right of government to make and enforce laws. (Romans 13:1-7) They do not violate their Christian neutrality by supporting the efforts of Fundamentalist groups that try to establish civil laws that would force others adopt Bible standards. (John 18:36)

is that why the rest of you christians hate them?

She got humanity expelled from the Garden of Eden. But she also gave humanity access to the knowledge of good and evil. Isn't the seeking of knowledge a noble end? Why would God want his creations to be ignorant?

Political/Secular leaders have been gathering to hammer out pacts & treaties for centuries. Why do you think Religious leaders haven't done this yet? And why should we follow any religion who's leader would refuse to do this?
