Just finishing high school , if that..But, discouraged college and higher education because Armagedon was ..right around the corner..? I have heard that before..Does your religion still do that? If not..what about all of those young JW's 25 or 30 years ago, that didn't get an education due to Armagedon coming any time now..Wonder what their lives are like now..

Satan being the epitome of evil and God the opposite. In Job we find the Devil reporting to God.When Jesus was on his last leg on the cross bearing the sins of man He could not look upon sin

According to the World Christian Encyclopaedia and verified through other independent research. There are at least 150 major world religions. Which contain at least one million followers for each religion. Since you only practice one of these religions. You have a 0.6% chance of having the correct religion. This also means there is a 99.4% chance you are practising the wrong religion. So how do you know for sure you belong to the right religion?
How can you be certain someone else will go to hell since not all religions have those beliefs?

Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Christian fundamentalism and Islamic fundamentalism?
1. Both claim to have 100% of the truth.
2. Both claim that everyone else is wrong and going to hell.
3. Both can and do lead to violence.
4.Both use a literalistic interpretation of their chosen scripture, which they claim is 100% infallible, and that all other scriptures are useless and evil.
5. Both are on the rise.
As far as I'm concerned, they're two sides of the same coin!

I know I do. If I had been aborted I would have gotten a free ride to heaven, since I would not yet have had time to sin against God. Also, the Pope says that's how it goes, and if that's what he says then that's how it is.

Now I have to praise God every Sunday and sing about him and worship him. I also have to be sure not to eat too much shellfish. Also, think of all the atheists that are going to hell. Wouldn't it have been better for them to have been aborted so they could go to heaven?

Have you done anything that made you laugh this week. Don't know if you will find this one amusing but I did!
There is always a vase of flowers on my work top next to the sink and while I was washing dishes I knocked it over. So there was a litre of water gradually creeping everywhere, I grabbed the nearest thing to hand and tried to catch it, but it still continued to make a puddle on the floor. Maybe it would have been better if I'd have chosen something other than a colander full of holes !!lmao
I promise you I really did that! I'm waiting to see how I can beat that one!

I got it through the mail and I ordered it for Mothers Day because it is engraved with my sisters and my names. Anyways, after 3 calls it finally came a couple of days ago. Its not perfect and I am tempted to send it back. (Its $90) Well my mom is coming over today because she lives out of town and unfortunately I see her like once every other month!! I wanted to give it to her......but Im tempted to get the problems fixed. They are nothing major, Im a perfectionist especially when Im spending that kind of $$$. Anyways my point is....what would you do???

Should I?.....
a) give it to her anyways
b) send it back and wait another 6 weeks to get it back
c) show it to her and then send it back.

My sisters chipped in on it so its $30 a piece. Whot would you do in this situation??

Why do you spend so much time condemning homosexuality, saying that it is a choice? Hypothetically, let's say all gay men turned straight tomorrow. What would be YOUR chances of getting a date for Friday night then? Gay guys are better dressed, better groomed and just generally hotter than straight guys. Have you ever wondered why gay guys have so many female friends? Women LOVE gay guys. Ever heard the saying, all the best ones are gay? It's TRUE. Maybe you should spend less time condemning people for being gay and more time thanking God that they are. Because, trust me, you couldn't HANDLE the extra competition. Have you ever actually thought about it?

Why can't you let other people live their lives the way they choose? Certain things have no effect on you, other than selfish reasons, such as making you feel uncomfortable.

I believe that laws should be based on what is good for people who currently live this country, not what is good for them after they die.

Why can't you stick to your own principles and let other religions and non-believers stick to theirs?

I am deaf but sever to profound in my left ear and I can hear some out of my right ear. My family thinks I can be able to hear all my life but I warned them not to get their hope up because I may be deaf like happen to one of my friends who went from hard of hearing to profound (can't hear at all. No or very little precentage of hearing left). I am kind of scared because I got use to hear some noises like tv very loud and dog barking or whatever... I know I will be okay if I lose my hearing fully but yet again, I am afraid of losing my hearing. Is this feeling normal even I am deaf but can hear some?

I am not convinced by the evolution theory, there are too many "ifs", "buts", "assumptions" and too many variations in the length of times when things were supposed to have taken place.

My question for a serious answer is:

If we originally started as (or became) a single celled, one gender amoeba like creature, whose reproductive system was an efficient splitting of the cell. Why today do we have a less efficient system involving two genders and in human terms a lengthy wait for results, coupled with an often painful experience?

Also could you explain how two genders have evolved alongside each other, whilst being compatible with each other?

I have to wonder if this person is serious. Do people honestly get their info about us from the movies?


"I don't think I'd care for it... I don't know much about witchcraft... I have watched enough movies though that it creeps me out... Besides I think people would make fun of my daughters if they were flying around on broomsticks all the time."

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.
