getting off the boat.

In other words, were there light skinned black in Africa before slavery?

Or were all Blacks the same complexion until mixing with the slave masters?

Change your thinking - be a child of solutions, not stay a problem child. We have a golden opportunity to become children of life, light and love. The opportunity we have now is to bring about a Matrix of Love on this Earth and become what we really are – real people, not shadows. Is this the right thing to do?
Watch the movie, V for Vendetta. Ignore the violence, it is simply a messenger. Maybe you’ll understand it, maybe you won’t but then are you really watching it?
Now, are there any real people out there or just shadows?
We’re here and we’re not queer. : )

Imagine that death wouldn't exist in this world! How the world would be massively overpopulated. All Natural Resources completely gone, since the begining of time! Evil people ruling and fight over this world, with good Godly people! War in general would probably never, never end! Because you could not get rid of evil murders! Because nobody cannot die! [[[What would the world, be like? ]]] Maybe thats why God made man and woman so fragile to live in this hostile world. Because of death, we have somewhat peace in this world!

If you believed in a god that believed in you, you would know that god would never give up on you, you are his creation and he will give you as much time as needed to perfect yourself. Gog loves you and could never kill you or burn you forever....but only wants the best for you Christians the

Please don't quote the Christian cult bible.....it's not the word of god any more than news weekly.

Yes, I spelled god gog....mistake i can't correct now...you know what i mean!

Speaking of "now language", I've noticed that in the past ten years people have been trying to use other words other than Cool, which is something I've used since 3rd grade when I was about 9, around 1992-1993. I didn't want to use "that's hot" because it just sounds like I'm copying Paris, lol. I mean I have used the term hot before to describe a guy or something but I still use cool, is that passe?

I am a Christian so naturally we a Crucifix on our altar as a reminder that Jesus suffered for our sins and that God loves us.

But I read that Mormons think that they can be gods (I guess that Mormons think that they created the Earth). I also read that they have people on bleachers on their altar. Does the congregation worship the people on the altar?

In the Christian churches people sit to the side of the altar because it would be blasphemous to sit in front of a picture depicting God. Also, I never see Mormons wearing Crucifixes. Even though they don't believe that Jesus is God do they believe that He suffered for our sins? It's funny that they hijacked Jesus' name for their church and they don't believe as Christians believe (that Jesus is God, the ONLY God).

With the exception of one e-mail, I have recently been receiving wonderfully positive e-mails from others on the R & S---since I am pretty new here, I wondered if ya'll receive mostly positive e-mails and if those have led to long lasting friendships? I have received nice e-mails from those of all Beliefs, including Atheist----how about you?

It brings strength to me
When I worship Thee
And my mouth is filled with praise.

It will break the bands
As I lift my hands
And bring glorious victory!

I was dining at TGIFridays and the gratuity at 18 percent came to over $11.00 ...the service was not that great and the food took forever with lots of mistakes...I live in NJ and felt like I was ripped off when the bill came and the tip was already included. The tip was actually higher than any individual dinner plate we ordered. Can you refuse to pay their set amount and give what you want? Is it legal for the establishment to make you abide by their policy?
We only had a party of 6 people...three were children.
Thanks

me without even knowing who I am. I have submitted 5 questions today and I have been astonished to say the least. Not any of my questions have stated what religion I belong to or what my beliefs are, yet I've had several to criticize me. All the rude judgmental remarks via email or responses on this site have come from those that call themselves Christians. Regardless of what I ask or how I ask, it's the Christian man or woman that replies with the sarcastic answer. I'm not judgemental at all nor should any person be. I'm just simply on here for the entertainment and to learn about other religions, cultures, societies and so forth. Human behavior is interesting to me. Just because I read a lot about Buddha for wisdom and enlightment doesnt make me a Buddhist. If you find my questions "irrevelant", then simply ignore. For the intelligent nonhypocritical ppl that enjoy a debate or something amusing to ponder over, please continue to answer. Now, I would like to know what you believe in.

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of religious service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop - Acts 2:38!" (..turn from your sin...) The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AXE and two 38's!"

I am going through a lot but I am kind of doubting my faith and everything because of going through divorce, trying to find out who I am, and everything. I feel that I don't know who I am anymore and also feel like part of me is dead spiritually because I gave in to my ex-husband after a little over a month of marriage and then left me on Sept 11 2006 (I was very sick before and after marriage). I would love to doing thing like I used to do before I got married but I can't seem to like do what I used to do but always want to do something new and enjoy life. But with Christ, I really want to renewal my faith in Him and make up the life that I have been missing for long time. I am glad that one of my good old friend encourage me to go back to church. I think he is worry about me because of I am doubting my belief and offered me a biblestudy with him. How can I start renewal my faith and what are some good Bible verses? All Christian faiths are welcome to pinch in. And pray for me. Thanks

My pastor is training me to be a preacher (according to the gifts God has given me) I now serve as a Elder of the church. I do it because I love the Lord and I want to be obedient to Him, but I would prefer washing the church toliet instead of preaching a sermon or coming up with a meditation. I dread this deeply. When I find out I have to speak in front of people, I find multiple reasons why I can not do it. I realized a few days ago that I am not running from man but I am running from God. I want to work for the Lord but I am a shy introvert and I would rather do something else not be a preacher. I know its not about me but about God's will and master plan but that does not change how I feel. I am praying about it but please share with me if you have been or going through this. Or if you have any advice, please share. Thank you, it mean alot to me!!
