can someone tell me what was so bad about a person tearing his soul. dumbledore said that people would rather die then split their soul. why? also what did they mean when they said in the first book that drinking a unicorns blood would result in a half life and a cursed life. what does a cursed life mean. what would it be like?
and how do you become a ghost. nearly headless said he would have rather died. why? i mean wouldn't you want to live forever?

I find it very difficult to contemplate not using contraception. As a young woman living in a post modern society it seems blind to a lot of very important issues. I wouldnt dont want to get pregnant before i am emotionally ready for children. And STIs are rife amongst the young community. I think its a really important issue. I need some advice from practising catholics about their attitudes towards birth control. I feel that converting would be the right thing for me to do and yet this one thing keeps making me think maybe i'm wrong. Please help. And can none of the idiots out there leave me stupid abusive comments please. xx

How does the applicability of this dictation change for a low-control religion (Non-denominational Christianity, Universalism/Unitarianism, Buddhism, Paganism) as opposed to a high-control religion (JW, SDA, LDS, Islam, Krishna, Catholicism)?

Is it like Mikalya? or Mick-ella? My sister's having a baby, and she likes that name, but we're not sure how it's pronounced.

I personally like pronouncing it Mick-ella. It sounds more original.

I have learned to accept it. Growing up I never noticed I did it till I was 6. My dad does it too. I have wondered if it was genetic or does it skip a generation. I have learned to compromise with words. I not horrible but it happens. I have been to speech therapist when I was little but it did nothing. Plus for odd reasons I wouldn't stutter around the therapist. I hated when people didn't understand my dilemma and would giggle. I love the people who are understanding, who understand and don't make fun of it. Sometimes I make great stride in my speech, I don't believe in therapy or special devices, and learned to live with it. I really hated when people would say just " calm down",(they don't understand). Some people are hush hush about it, and don't acknowledge it. Sometimes I try to hide it, like it's my sercet identity or something. I would be like Clark Kent, trying to conceal it. Have you had similar experiences and how do you deal with it?

"This textbook contains material on arithmetic which relies on number theory. Number theory is a theory, not a fact, regarding the division of integers, properties of primes, and congruences. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."

so i finally got around to reading zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance (a great book) and there was a concept brought up that i found to be especially interesting.

any given truth only lasts as long as science allows it to. as science improves, discoveries are made at an increasing rate, and therefor any given truth's lifespan becomes shorter.

due to this inverse relationship, if we carry this logic through, as science approaches perfection, the life span of truth approaches zero. this means that science, the methodical pursuit of truth, will ultimately destroy truth its self..


i apologize for the long winded explanation, but this idea is very interesting to me and i wanted to see your thoughts on the matter.

L=LiT
O=.n u
V= 5 (roman numeral)
E=[iL

so the message of LOVE when read between the lines shows
LIT .n u V [iL (sealed together)
and since LiT=GOD
then GOD .n u V [iL (sealed together)
I appear to be that God with V [iL (sealed together)

further exposition shows

A, Z, the beginning and end
1 who is God
that God is: A, Z, 1 which are forms of .I7 mixed up and sealed together which is the same as Stevens.n (e+e(upside down)=S and I7=seventeen)

So the LOVE LIGHT that is a Stevens.n with a V [iL (sealed together) appears to be real and is glorified in all things somehow.

so since you steal my thoughts about this theory, i guess i can only give you this free instead of writting a revolutionary book that blows Jesus and Jehovah out of the water, them being hebrew or jew whereas i am of what some have so-callously reffered to as the Master race.
question is can you see the logic of my arguements?

My belief system has no reason to discount anything any scientist has theorised, but some have so.

What faith are you?
What scientist and his theory don't you agree with?

I love festivals! I especially love the ones in the fall where you can get out in the beautiful weather and buy goodies and other stuff you don't need but LOVE. Autumn is just my favorite time of year. Nearby, we have the Covered Bridge Festival, the Broom Corn Festival, the Apple & Pork Festival and many more. I don't know if they're as popular in other parts of the country as they are in the midwest but I suspect they are.
