My school is very cliquey everyone is either a slu t, prep, emo, "wish I was a prep/ sl ut," or rich bratt. I am more of a tomboy in a sense on the outside because emos arents accepted around here even the emos arent really emo. I am I think emo on the inside, I get depressed and suicidal a lot and I am abused and I tried telling a friend but because this is a wealthy area where I live its just not the norm, like in health we were asked if we think people get abused in my town or hit and everyone said no and I was sitting there thinking you are all wrong anyway my entire life I have never fit in anywhere and I have ALWAYS been made fun of, I dont remember a day when I wasn't. Has anyone ever felt like they dont belong and how did they cope with it? Thanks so much

We need to level the playing field.So Affirmative Action is needed.
But Affirmative Action doesn't level the feild but it lowers standards for certian people while keeping them high for white people.

How is this good?

Because almost invariably, I hear that the "false Christians" are "coincidentally" those who cause the most embarassment for the religion and for the other "true" adherents.

So... what exactly IS a "false" Christian? EXACTLY?

My husband is Jewish and we want to bring our daughters up in the religion, but we are finding it extremely difficult to come up with the more than $2,000 per year in fees required to join our local synagogue. (And that doesn't even include religious training for our girls.) I thought they were exteme until I spoke to someone who had to leave her temple because they increased the annual membership to $6,000 per family. Is anyone else paying fees like this? If so, what did you do?

The two women stood outside the train station holding up their magazines so I asked them why Jesus said in John 2 "tear down this temple and in three days I will raise it again" First they thought it might be from Matthew and tried to reword it to say Jesus did not say "...I will raise it.." as that would make Jesus raise himself
but it is what Jesus said

Why aren't Jehovah's witnesses better Bible students? It almost seemed like they had a conclusion and look to the Bible to confirm their prior preference not look to it to discover what God says.

I asked my friend if I can join them fishing somewhere in our place and they readily agreed. They asked me to bring extra clothes in case we want to go swimming. After fishing (and no swimming at all), my friend's churchmate started sharing her faith with me... And I ended up "baptized" on a nearby pool of water in the vicinity. To cut the story short, the extra clothes that i brought were for my "baptism".. I felt that I was set-up by those christians.. So, does that mean that i'm already a christian and not Catholic? Thanks!

Joy and Kevin Wilson are a Christian married couple who decided that their ministry to other Christian married couples would be selling them sex toys in a way that makes them comfortable. Their store is called "Book 22." This is absolutely NOT a hoax! You can read an interview with Joy (w/ link to the site) here:

http://sexuality.about.com/od/sextoys/a/joy_wilson.htm

From the site:

"The twenty-second book of the Bible is Song of Solomon. We believe that God intended that such love, as spoken of in Song of Solomon, be a beautiful and normal part of marital life. Unfortunately this gift from God has been grossly distorted and abused by both ancient and modern people. Book22 is offering quality products to enhance the intimate life of God's children. Our hope is that our products will serve as intimacy enhancers for your marriage."

I couldn't visit this at my work and I figured others couldn't either, but I couldn't wait to read the link and ask your opinions here!

I thought that the bride pays for the hair, alterations, and brides maid dresses... I'm not made of money and it's not like I can dish out 300 dollars for a dress I will wear once and hair that will be messed up in hours and not to mention shoes... idk what to do. Has this always been so? Or is this something weird or new to have your friends dish out this much money. I thought the family of the couple should be handling this. I don't know what to do. I've clarified this is a lot of money for me especially cause I'm saving up for a car, car insurance, and moving out of my house into an apartment. I'm 19 btw.

Advice?

I'm writing a story set on Midsummer Eve, specifically about the magic surrounding such a date.

Would you consider that a date on which "magical" or mysterious things might happen, in particular, magic pertaining to love/romance and related things?

My co-worker always turns the air off when she sees me turn it on, usually after 10 mins. It's hot in here, outside it's in the mid 80s. We are not allowed to have little electric fans, and my hand hurts from fanning myself w/ the paper fan I made from recycled paper. What do I tell her next time she shuts it off? She asks me "Dang! gurl are you having hot flashes?!?" (she tries to be funny). But no I am not having hot flashes, I'm 26 y/o and not obese (for those who don't know, obese ppl tend to sweat alot). She's always cold, and expects me to bake here.
