I once was in a world where there were flying men and women. Humans with wings. The man saw me and started shooting arrows which I heard crashing through a vine by me. I remember saying "I'll just go to another world," and jumped in a cloud.
Next, I saw something that looked familiar. But couldn't quite make it out. Then I woke up, and realized I had just seen my bedroom as if I was looking up from the level of the floor.
So I think that was a real OBE!

I notice a lot of non-Muslims saying that we do nothing about terrorism.. that we sit back and just talk. I for one, along with many sisters have had rallies here in NY against terrorism. But my question is,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING for the thousands of civilians being killed in Iraq? Do you think it's humane to sit back and watch these innocent folk die.. and to see the soldiers of this country die for no absolute cause?

*Ends don't justify the means*

"Meanwhile, 50 strikes on top Iraqi leaders failed to kill any of the intended targets, but instead killed dozens of civilians, the Human Rights Watch report revealed. The U.S. “decapitation” strategy relied on intercepts of senior Iraqi leaders´ satellite phone calls along with corroborating intelligence that proved inadequate. As a result, the U.S. military could only locate targets within a 100-meter radius – clearly inadequate precision in civilian neighborhoods"

An Ice Dam is one of the possible results of a glacier melting.

If you have seen the animated movie "Ice Age 2" you will understand the concept.

As the glacier melts, it forms a pool (and eventually a lake) of melt water held in by the leading edge of the glacier (which forms an ice dam).

Eventually the leading edge melts, and releases the lake in the form of a rapid flood.

Most of the Flood legends are based on the collapse of ice dams.

The legends from the Mediterranean have a different cause. During the ice age the sea level fell so that the straits of Gibralter and other bottle necks were above sea level.

When the glaciers melted, the sea level rose and flooded over these bottle necks, flooding the lowland areas behind the bottlenecks.

Do they not teach this in high school science classes where you live?

Depending on which poll you believe, atheists/agnostics make up anywhere from 9 to 12 percent of the U.S. population.

Why do some people think that the English Speaking world has all of a sudden (1611) come up with the only true scripture version of the Christian Bible? Isn't this arrogance? There were Catholic editions before King James and there are many other Catholic editions today. What is it about English and Protestant arrogance that can possibly assume that a King in England and the Hampton Court Conference would create the only true bible? What about Spanish bibles? Isn't there an inherent prejudice in thinking that the protestant bible is the only true one? Isn't it misguided? There have been over 10,000 correction to the King James Bible. The puritans burned it in Massachusetts saying it was from the devil. Whats up with the arrogance? Have you read any other versions of the bible, in any other language other than English?

I know that Christians are told not to seek advice from psychics or white witches, but do you think that God (the christian God and Jesus) deem it worse to speak to a white witch over a psychic or is it the same. I ask because for osme reason it seems more offensive and wrong to seek advice from a witch. It could just be me, but any opinions from Christians are appreciated. Please don't just tell me that seeing these types of people is against christianity (i know that already), i just want to know if one is worse or opens up more spiritual doors than the other, thanks !!

"Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." -- Matthew16:28

"But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God." -- Luke 9:27

"Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." -- New Testament


"The time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none."

Paul and the other New Testament writers, expects the end to come soon. "The time is short." So there's no time for sex and marriage since the world will be ending soon.

He was WRONG about this and yet Christians take his word to be equal to the Word of GOD ???

He was wrong on this very very crucial issue and yet the Christians dont question every other statement he makes.

Spiritual suicide....plain and simple.

i'm 23. i moved in with my sister 2 years to go to college where she lives. now that i graduated, I hate my job (a retail hardware store). My sister is a difficult person to get along with. She likes to make me mad, and she invites her boyfriend to spend the night which makes me feel very uncomfortable as I have a strict set of morals. I try not to let it bother my but it always does.
I know they are going to get back together, and i dont want to see him anymore or see him spend the night anymore. I want to move back home tomorrow, quit my job, and just spend the whole day driving 7 hours home to my parents house. That's how much i DONT want to be around him.
I love my sister, but she's never going to change... he's such a bad boyfriend to her, they're a bad match, but she doesn't get it, she says shes lonely and that some attention is better than no attention. Part of me moved to help her get rid of him, but that didn't work. Should I just pack up my bags and leave tomorrow?

Okay, okay, I'm just being sarcastic on that one. I wouldn't really hit her with a shovel. But she IS getting under my skin. Here's how.

Basically, she acts like I am some kind of degenerate unworthy of being in her family. (She didn't even come to my and my wife's wedding). Every time she calls the house and I answer, she'll say, "Can I speak to my daughter please?" Not "Hello Jon, how are you today?" or even a freaking "Hi" or "Hello," just a "Can I speak to my daughter please?" spoken in a polite, but chilly tone of voice.

Another thing: When she comes over, she really likes to talk about my wife's exes. In fact, when she was over this past Saturday, she said to my wife---with me sitting right there in the room---"You know, honey, I was at the store yesterday, and I ran into Mike." (Mike's the ex she dated before meeting me). "He looked so nice. Tell me again, why did the two of you break up? He was such a good catch."

It's kind of interesting - you already know the bible part - how about the other parts?

Men lived at ease before the flood; a single harvest provided for forty years, children were born after only a few days instead of nine months and could walk and talk immediately, and people could command the sun and moon. This indolence led men astray, especially to the sins of wantonness and rapacity. God determined to destroy the sinners, but in mercy he instructed Noah to warn them of the threat of a flood and to preach to them to mend their ways. Noah did this for 120 years. God gave mankind a final week of grace during which the sun reversed course, but the wicked men did not repent; they only mocked Noah for building the ark. Noah learned how to make the ark from a book, given to Adam by the angel Raziel, which contained all knowledge.

I know most Christians say it is a sin but is it really a sin? I personally would not gamble or attend Casinos because I think it is stupid. I don't want to throw away my money. I think the real SINNERS are the people that own Casinos. These crooks support peoples terrible habbits and have no concern about it. What do you think?

I only ask because I'm doing these surveys right now for my job and so many people are uneducated or even miseducated. Some people don't know what greenhouse gases are (do they live under a rock) or they have some construed idea that when something is recycled it never actually gets used in factors, but that's a vicous scheme by the government. Do you think there should be some sort of test, or mandatory reading (short though) before you can enter a polling booth? Seriously, everyone is allowed to vote and they are sometimes swaying important decisions that could effect everyone, not just themselves. Should there be some sort of weeding out process for all those that should really just stay under their rocks?
