Me and My family went to my relative's house today without warning to discuss about a family crisis and etc. Me and my lil bro left the living room and went to the kitchen since it was boring to hear everyone else talk about something we didn't care about. As i started sitting on the table , my arm acidentally bumped into this glass of water. When i turned around it was a withcraft set. It had a bowl of water with some sort of leaves in them ,and glasses of water with white markings on them. I was frightening so i left immediatly as i found out what it was. Then in the car as im telling my mom about this ,she said an evil spirit will haunt me now. Is this true? what's the worst that can happen after i bumped into that glass of water? anything at all?

My teacher made me leave the classroom because I refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance. For one I see no point in honoring a flag and I did not want to say "one nation under God" because I do not believe in god. Do you think the teacher has the right to kick me out of the classroom for that?

This girl I played Lacrosse with-back in '04 and who graduated 2 years a head of me, just invited me to her Birthday party. We were acquatiances and when we see each other we do talk-just about whats going on etc. I've never hung out with her, and at one point I thought she didn't like me. It's been 2 years plus, since I last spoke to her and she invited me to her Birthday-so I go?..There will be 2 people there that I graduated with, one of whom I was friends with, and am more of an aqutiance with now. I am just not sure why she invited me though-your thoughts on what you think I should do or how you handled a similar incident would be great! Thanks.

The christmas tree for example, or the painting of easter eggs, the list goes on. Does it annoy you pagans to see your stuff being used in other religions?

I do, on the top of my skull, under my scalp skin, I feel a gentle "smack" on the top of my head, for lack of a better term, when I sin inadvertently (I never try to sin) or think of sinning. Does anyone else experience anything like that?

I've told my Baptist husband that I can tell I'm held to a higher standard than he is since I was saved 4.5 months ago after spontaneous Baptism of the Holy Spirit and intimate spiritual union with God, and now am a Gnostic Christian Universalist. I believe this is because he never went astray and was saved as a child at the age of understanding (8), and I was saved at the age of 28 after a life very lived, and lived quite a bit in sin to some degree as well. Due to this, the parable of the Missing Sheep and Prodigal Son especially ring true with me, more so than they do to him as he's told me.

I feel an abundance of grace and spiritual gifts (true wisdom, understanding, love, compassion, humility, discernment amongst others) from God since my Baptism, but as the Bible says, "But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.” This tells me why I feel those physical rebukes, and why I am aware I’m held to a higher standard, as I’ve told my husband, I feel those rebukes for things he would probably not even give two thoughts to as sin.

What about you?

Juggalos and Lettes when did you find the dark canival?


I found the carnival in 2002. I also got my first taste of ICP and Twiztid in 02 as well. I heard the song 'Juggalo homie' buy ICP, i downloaded it and I still love that song. I found myself easily acceptied into the juggalo family, and Iound I believed all of what they were saying, and I understood it all. I guess over time, I really molded into a juggalo, rather than being one right away.About a year after I heard homies(the song), I guess I really believed in the carnival, and I still do and I always will. Juggalos, when did you first truly believe and follow the carnival?



Peace Out Juggalo till I die MCL to ya all

Has anyone heard of the Garlic Festival in Gilroy? Well, Mix 106.5 holds auditions to sing at Garlic Idol (as the festival) during the Bill and Marla Morning Show. Well, I called in and tried out and I made it! I get to sing at Idol. The problem is, is that I'm only 13. I not sure if they know that. Can you be that old to sing at Garlic Idol?

They might know because when they called with the results, my mom picked up and asked where I was. She answered she had just dropped me off at summer camp and they laughed.

So I went to the website for the rules and uncovered this:

The KEZR qualifying segments are open to all persons who are between 15 years old and 28 years old as of July 21, 2006


What do they mean?

If anyone has ever seen Garlic Idol, please tell me if you've seen a kid sing in it.

Let your woman keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to
Speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if
They want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home;
for it is shameful for women to speak in church. Or did the word of
God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? 1
Corinthians 14:34-36
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is
the head of the wife as also Christ is head of the Church; and He is
the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the Church is subject to
Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:22-24
In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls
or costly clothing, but which is proper for women professing
godliness, with good works. Let a women learn in silence with all
submission. And I do not permit a women to teach or to have authority
over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into
transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they
continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control. 1 Timothy 2:9-15
For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and
as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice
over you. Isaiah 62:5
But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin
marries, She has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have troubles in
the flesh, but I would spare you. 1 Corinthians 7:28
So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will
be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from
that law, so that she in no adulteress, though she has married another
man. Romans 7:3
Similarly, teach the older woman to live in a way that is appropriate
for someone serving the Lord. They must not go around speaking evil
of others and must not be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach
others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to
love their husbands and their children, to care of their homes, to do
good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring
shame to the word of God. Titus 2:3-5
