Hello, I have recently been studying wicca with interest, but have come upon something that I don't fully understand. When consecrating an object, what is the difference between the cleansing with salted water and the anoiting with oil? Is this repition of similar acts for reinforcement? Or have they seperate purposes? Many thanks and be well!

I'm not saying that all Megachurches do this, but some do and to those that do why, are you getting so impersonal. More importantly, why does you need a persons' credit score?

My fiance, and I are thinking of moving to Richlands, NC in the very near future. Anyone from around there or that town? I know its a quieter town, but we were wondering about jobs and such. I know they have an amazing school system and people like to move to Richlands for that particular reason. We have a 2 month old, obviously not ready for that stage of life. Any advice offered is very appreciated =)

2 Parts, 2 View Points. Which do you agree with?

1. People seem to make SUCH a huge deal about human sexuality. "OMG!! He's GAY??!?!?! When did this happen? Why? Was he abused as a child? He played with Barbie, didn't he? Yeah, I could tell."

I think people should stop focusing on "HE like MEN" or "SHE likes WOMEN" and just realise that PEOPLE fall in love with PEOPLE.

My sister told me about a friend who was with her partner for nigh 10 YEARS, and then fell in love with a guy.

Should it be more about "Well, she was in love with me and now she's in love with someone else" rather than "OMG!! She's STRAIGHT and she was lying to me the whole time?!?!?".

============

2. Human sexuality a defining part of who we are as people. Whether you like men or like women defines who you are as a person. If HE didn't like men, that wouldn't be him. If SHE liked men, that would be just be ODD.

If you're gay, you're gay. That's the way you were made and that's the way you will always be.

I am a christian, while I look at the facts of evolution, my belief comes from a creation point of view. I am yet to find any evidence which disproves evolution or creation but in my opinion, & I know it may not be your opinion, the evidence for me points to a creator. A lot of people believe evolution, not because they have looked at the facts, but because it makes more sense to them. A lot of comments seem to be personal attacks which seem to have nothing significant added. I search for truth, and where that leads me seems to be Jesus. You may not understand and I accept that, but how many people believe in evolution because of the word of a scientist. I would call that blind faith in evolution. I am not trying to say you can't believe in evolution, just that a lot of people take it as a fact blindly, not bothering to look into it by themselves.

Young, old, alone, with loved ones, suddenly, quietly in bed, happily, sadly, reluctantly.
Wanting to live on is not an option.

it has forced open the doors to the discussions, of the diffrent types of racism that occours. there are some people who think racism only takes place when it directly stated e.g "your a ........"
but do not realise that there is the sly, underhand, unsaid racism which is not directly stated but is obvious to the person on the receiving end.

is it so uncomfortable to watch because it represents the state of society today? as we can either be cast into the role of shilpa or jade and her friends? or the others who stand by and say/do nothing?

They probably don't want anybody else to get saved but them. Since Catholics are the only ones who understand Latin, they wont be able to deceive anybody else but themselves. But I'm just worried about their salvation. That's the only reason I'm trying to find out why they beleive like they do, so I can help them understand the truth and get saved. Most people don't concern themselves with trying to help them. After american colonies began, people figured out that they could come to america and they didn't have to worry about Catholics trying to control the way they believe. Jesus himself didn't try to make people believe in him. Niether would Mary. Catholics think they really care about Mary. If they did, they wouldn't worship her. If Mary is in heaven already, she is probably wondering why they are asking her to pray for them, when they can pray to the Father themselves.

If you could travel back in time to tell them about the existence of Christians, would that believe that people would try to blot them out of history? Or would they just roast you for dinner?

Since you have now banished me from the soil, and I must avoid your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, anyone may kill me at sight.
