We share an apartment now and still sleep together but we both have girlfriends that we are not sleeping with so we can say we are keeping the faith. (LDS)

I have a coworker that never seems to use deodorant. It was one thing when we were all guys in the office but now he shares an office with 2 new females.
My question is how do I let him know he should use deodorant at work w/o offending him?

Do you know of any group homes or "orphanages" in Virignia that I can go onto their website and check it out? Thanks a bunch!

I ask this question because I learned from some Black friends that some ligher skinned Blacks are prejudiced against other Blacks because some are darker skinned. It's the same with people from India. The darker skinned are subjected to prejudice also.

I've been told there is a passage in the bible that says that we should love all and that we should allow God to do the judging. If this is the case than why do so many religous people judge gay people?

we have reached the stage where man must fight fire with fire,
putting our scarce fresh water resource into the 70 fires burning in victoria seems a bit absurd
this dry continent learned over 100,000 years ago to put fires out is as simple as using up the fuel in the fires path ,
seems so simple ,but those simple people we wanted thier lands, so we poisiend thier water holes ,gave them sick food to make them sick ,put thier parents in prison camps ,reeducated thier children into white fella think ing ,now how do you put out the fires in a drought?
when you allready killed of the native fire fighters,
is it a bitter harvest or we getting the fruits of fair return
stolen lands are cursed ,
giving water away to huge multinationals for mono cropping seemed such a good return ,getting big or get out seemed to be the way , not catching the water from your own lands seemed a good way to fill the rivers to save the water in one huge damm ,
serving the big master
you forget the land?

Why is it that Jehovah's Witnesses encourage people of other faiths to question their religions and be critical of it, but as soon as someone questions them about their faith and is critical about it, it is a closed book, end of discussion? Why can you be disfellowshipped for daring to question what is taught in their publications, yet that is exactly what they are doing when going door to door? Why is reading any literature critical of the group discouraged?

I'm 19 (almost 20) and my boyfriend is 22. We've been dating over a year, and we arn't planning on getting hitched any time soon. We are sexually active and practicly live at each other's houses (I've got a toothbrush at his place along with several changes of clothes, sleep over there about 3 nights out of 5) and we're currently looking for apartments in order to move in together.

Right? Wrong? When do you think a couple is ready to move in together? Why do you think this? Is it a religious or culteral belief, or does it come from your own experinces? Really, we're going to do it no matter what, I was just curious about what other people thought about "living in sin" as it were in this day and age. Please give reasons for your answers.

Obviously someone had something to hide so the creep destroyed the whole town....(We all know God did not actually come down from his posh condo in heaven to do the dirty work for himself)

Christians I understand that you have been taught to believe the b bGospel, and the word of God. But just because YOU believe it doesnt mean its right, and when a christian says to a non-christian that you are going to hell if you dont believe in Jesus or the bible is extremely vulgar to us. I'll even use your own words: Judge not,unless you be judged also. You really need to think about what you are saying to people

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

And We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents - his mother bears him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years - and said, '
Give thanks to Me and thy parents. Unto Me is the final return;
And worship God and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbour who is a kinsman, and the neighbour who is a stranger, and the companion by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the arrogant and the boastful
And We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents. His mother bears him with pain, and brings him forth with pain, and the bearing of him and his weaning takes thirty months till, when he attains his full maturity and reaches the age of forty years, he says, 'My Lord, grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which thou hast bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and I may do such righteous deeds as may please Thee. And establish righteousness among my progeny for me. I do turn to thee; and, truly, I am of those who are obedient to thee.'
Thy Lord has commanded that ye worship none but Him, and that ye show kindness to parents. If one or both of them attain old age with thee, never say to them as much as ugh nor reproach them, but always address them with kindly speech.
And We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents - his mother bears him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years - and said, 'Give thanks to Me and thy parents. Unto Me is the final return

It says in the Bible, that the night Jesus was arrested, he was praying and was in great distress, and the Devil came to him and tempted him not to go through with it. Then it says that after Jesus was crucified, the Devil was glad and like, threw a party over his death. I don't get this. Could someone please explain it to me better so I'll understand?
