I met this JW Chick at work and she seems really nice. After persistant asking I eventually got her to go out on a date with me. She really likes me but she seems to be held back by her religion! Why is she so hung up on her religion? She was even trying to preach to me! I am non relgious! How do I open her mind and save her from the JW'S?

Where did all the prehistoric humans come from?? I'm looking for a religious answer to this question, not an atheist one BTW.

Were prehistoric humans "prototypes" that God made?? Or maybe the evolution of the prehistoric human to the modern human was part of the seven days that God took to create Adam and Eve?? And seven days in Gods time was thousands of human years??

I'm going to describe what I did, than ask you to put a name on it.

1. Laid down (in the day after I slept all night)
2. focused my attention on my surrounding but kept my eyes closed.
3. My body felt tingly, or like it was vibrating
4. I moved my arm, but My body stayed in one place.
5. I pushed myself up and came unstuck from my body like Velcro.
6. I got up and I was walking around my room.
7. I could see, but only if my body in this realm had it's eyes open. I know because when I closed them I could feel my pillow and my blankets meaning I was laying down, but when I opened them I was standing in my room.
8. I stop doing this and get out of bed, extremely tired and at least an hour went by.

That's it

know it? how would they then cope with life, being conscious of their own situation i.e. if they know?
My second question is if our own consciousness interferes with natural selection?
e.g. ethics, human rights etc.

what are some of your opinions?

No man can imagine the details of these places but every Prophet gave examples and parables to describe these two very important places in the hereafter.

Every human being will either be in Hell or Heaven..... there is no third option.

The foundation of faith is on the unseen places told to us by the Prophets....... and revelation must include these descriptions.

What would happen to society if the world was covered in darkness.??? No light. This is a HYPOTHETICAL question. Not looking fo scientific rants about the impossibilty of such a thing and the earth's relation to the existence of the sun and the stars. Just go with it. How would society be effected? How would YOU be effected? Complete chaos?

Despite the lies told about her, Mary Magdalene was the first to witness Yeshua after his resurrection and was a devout follower of Yeshua. She played a part in the early church. Is she a role model for christian women ?

Who is Mary Magdalene? A prostitute and sinner who repented after Jesus saved her from being stoned by a mob -- the same Mary who then saw the risen Christ first?

According to some Christians and scholars, it's time to rethink the prostitute and stoning stuff.

Mary Magdalene is becoming a role model for women who expect more important roles for themselves in their respective churches. And scholars use Mary Magdalene as a symbol of the important role of women in early Christianity, as they work out the implications of recently discovered ancient literature.

The current reform of Mary Magdalene has centuries of church and art tradition to overcome.

I was very close friends with a woman for three years, we never had a "falling out" persay but she essentually dropped me as a friend around the time she met her current fiancee. The way it happened leads me to believe that I did something wrong but she has never told me what it was. I've tried to contact her several times to meet up for drinks but she has never returned my calls or my emails. Today, I got her invitation to her wedding that will happen on 8/1/2007 (It sounds as though I'm being invited to the reception not the ceremony). So now I'm faced with three questions:
1- Do I have to go? she's extremely catty and I believe is doing this to try and manipulate me some how but I don't know how and really don't much care.

2- Do I have to buy her a gift and if so can I just send a, as in one, fork? or would that be too obvious?

3- Finally, since she obviously wont return my calls or emails and neither will her friends how the %$#@ am I supposed to know where she's registered?

The pope in infallible, right? Is the pope the only thing that is infallible other than the Bible? What if they contradict? Since the Pope in infallible, wouldn't the people that elect him also have to be infallible? And wouldn't the First Vatican Council (of 1870) have to be infallible too, since they decided the Pope is infallible?

I'm just curious, that's all

How many loving, committed monogamous homosexual couples do you think Paul knew of when he wrote Corinthians?

Considering the word homosexual wasn't even part of our vernacular until 1865, how do you think that this is addressed in the Bible? Isn't our current version of the Bible flawed to even use the word homosexual...when this word was not part of the language when the Bible was written?

Sure Soddom and Gomorrah talks about gang rape and inhospitality...but, does this have anything to do with homosexuals of today?

If you look at Leviticus and what it says about men laying with other men...you then have to look at what Leviticus says about wearing a cloth of more than one fiber...or women not entering the church during their menstrual period...all things written about because of customs of the day.

II Timothy 3:16 says the Bible is inspired by God..but, remember it was written by humans, who brought into their writings their own prejudices, ideas, customs and

People leaving the One true Faith of GOD.
Fatima, revealed to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria-Fatima on July 13, 1917, and committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944
Our Lady's call to conversion and penance, issued at the beginning of the twentieth century, remains timely and urgent today. "The Lady of the message seems to read the signs of the times - the signs of our time - with special insight... The insistent invitation of Mary Most Holy to penance is nothing but the manifestation of her maternal concern for the fate of the human family, in need of conversion and forgiveness
Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

Do you think the Pope's message today was in part the 3rd secret?

I am going to a wedding where the dress is semi-formal, as stated on the invitation. It is in another state and all family are going so I have no one to watch my 2 boys so they are coming with. There will be a nanny at the country club where both ceremony and reception are. The nanny will watch the boys during the ceremony and during dinner, but the kids will come to the reception after dinner is done. Normally semi-formal would be a suit and tie, but that does that hold true for kids as well? They are 7 1/2 and 5 years old. I hate to have to buy them suits to wear for a couple of hours only, but don't want to break any rules or anything. They don't have a suit so I would have to buy them one just for this occasion. Are kids held to the same dress code as adults? I wouldn't dress them in jeans or anything-maybe just some slacks and nice shirt. Or do they have to have strictly adhere to the dress code and wear suits?
