Nostradamus talks about a comet being seen in July 1999, and it will come near earth shortly after(2012 is only 13 years) and thirst and famine will occur when it comes near the earth.

The theory is based on the logic that for every man who is allowed to have several wives (or a harem), several men wind up with no wives, ever. Couple that with a belief that if you die violently, your reward is a harem of virgins of your own, and voila, you have a suicide bomber! Or if you become a powerful man by leading others to their deaths as suicide bombers, you get to have your harem here on earth.

Makes sense to me. We all get cranky if we're denied sex, don't we?

Certain sects of Islam and Hindus spin around and around, to create a kind of ecstasy. The book Bringers of the Dawn says one can do more good than writing 50 self-help books. If they would just spin around in a clockwise direction 33 times now and then. It draws Heaven down to Earth!

"An unknown visitor is usually required to produce a dues card or other documentation of membership in addition to demonstrating knowledge of the Masonic signs, grips and passwords......Freemasons use signs (gestures), grips or tokens (handshakes) and words to gain admission to meetings and identify legitimate visitors." -Freemason literature

Hmmmmm. Does this sound familiar to any of you Mormons? I myself have gone through the Salt Lake City temple, and it certainly rings some bells for me. My father went through the temple for the first time in the 1960's, and it was the last LDS function/institution he ever visited again. He told me they made him take an oath of self-mutilation if the secrets of the temple were ever to leave his lips. When I went though the temple, I asked about this, and I was told that this has not been practiced for 20+ years in the temples anymore because some people thought it was too "graphic". It is odd that the Masons had this ritual as well huh?

Emmanuel Milingo

In his own words: “My Marriage is a calling from God”

The Roman Catholic doctrine that calls for celibacy as a requirement for priesthood has no Biblical support whatsoever.

While the Catholic Chuch has excommunicated Milingo for installing bishops without permission from the Vatican, most Christians are more concerned about Milingo’s lack of discerment as demonstrated by his connections to Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon - a religious. Moon’s lunacy includes claiming that he is the messiah, and was commissioned by God to finish what - in Moon’s opinion - Jesus Christ failed to accomplish.

Milingo admits Sun Myung Moon is behind his activitiesThe Movement for Married Priests Now- Zambia Chapter had a rally last weekend to mark the commencement of its activities in Zambia with a call to all priests that have married secretly to come out in the open and renounce priesthood celibacy.

Rev Moon just just not be in the mix..

I'm doing a piece on people's interpretation of Hell. Their depiction of it, no matter how graphic. Looking for creative, non cliche answers. But please don't answer just for the sake of answering, or put that you don't believe in Hell. This piece isn't about weather or not Hell exists, it's about people. Thanks for your help.

Initiates learn. Christ taught. Even at the tender age of 13 He was refining the "wise" mens knowledge in the Temple. He did travel around the World. Not to be taught, but bring clarification to the faiths of others, that had gone astray through man's interpretations.

America is a place where we value the first amendment, should we not be allowed to state our views here on Y/A without someone name calling and getting nasty..even the Y/A moderator. It's great when I hear people say that they are black and proud to be black...I should also be proud to be white..if a black person say's: Our people were treated horrible at the hands of white slave owners...I also have a view that says..TRUE...BUT they were treated far worse in africa where 99% of them were ALREADY slaves by black owners and it's my view their lives improved 100% by coming to America...and certainly their great, great, great grand children are 1000% better of than those left there. IS that RACIST???
WE need to have (As Martin Luther King said) a REAL talk about Race-Relations...it can't be ONE-SIDED! There is a federal law suit in my city to change the way a tax-payer sponsored slave museum is presenting slave history & the owners of slaves...MOST treated them very well!

Can we talk?

Every time I walk in a shop nowadays I'm accosted by sales assistants almost as soon as I enter the shop asking if I have found what I'm looking for - to which my usual response is either 'no, I wanted to find a shop where I wasn't annoyed by sales assistants' or 'how do I know? I haven't had a chance to look yet' followed by me turning straight around and walking out of the shop, frustrated, the whole experience ruining my shopping experience.

Most of the time they are working on commission, but why make it so obvious! The rest of the time it is just to make up a score for their mystery shopper survey.

When will company management realise that the worst thing you can do is interrupt a shopper (or even worse, a diner who has a mouthful of food!)?

I think I am. I asked a lighthearted question about Fudge chocolate bars and someone answered "What?????Who cares, do you care?" which I thought was rude and unnecessary. I've looked over the answerers profile and they appear to have answered other lighthearted questions without being rude, so why did they do it to me? But more importantly, why do I let it get to me?!?!? Take a deep breath Rachael.

Is there a type of demon that possess the soul of a lost lover and comes back only to prevent its partner from continuing their love life.

And, a demon that continually comes after a lost lover because they broke some type of promise the two made.

And I need to know the type of weapons and items that exorcists use to dispel the demons and spirits. I need a list of practices, cults and a few other types of demons themselves.
Who ever gives me the most they get my next 3 best answers,this is very important for a story I'm witting. Oh and whats a Spriggan?
