Society & Culture - 9 August 2007

Two years ago a couple came to our local school here and complained about the children having a Christian program.Out of fear of being sued the name was changed to "holiday program".

The family that done this is of a religious sect that requires woman to cover their heads.Two of their daughters come to school with heads covered.As I write I feel the need for prayer, but I will continue to bring this spirit to light I am open to reproof if you see fit, I am sure I could use it.

I feel like they have attacked my Lord, and I take that very personal.

SHOULD I GO TO THE SCHOOL AND ASKED THAT THEY REFRAIN FROM WEARING THEIR RELIGIOUS GARB?

people in my school thought two people were lesbians, they said they weren't but then i got a text from one of them which was for the other one and it was a bit weird i showed it to some people but it spread, so now they are pissed off with me although people already thought it. I had nothing against them until now as they are 'going to get revenge on me'.

Was i wrong for showing a few people, should i just ignore them now im going to college?

and now we dont do that anymore, example,it was ok to have slaves, we dont do that, it was ok to stone people to death, in america we dont do that, women were not ordained or became ministers, but today they are, they used to sacrifice lambs for god, today we dont do that, who decides what we do and dont do

in the Catholic Church? I do realize that some people get their fees waived but honestly: why pay to have a panel of people decide if you had a legitimate marriage or not? It's humiliating enough to have to disclose details about a bad marriage but paying to disclose seems twice as humiliating. Yes, I used to be Catholic. No, I'm not unhappy about being raised Catholic. (This circumvents some things).....thoughts? Namaste

limiting of life and experience? It seems to me that this would lead to a limited and reductionist view of life that leaves out mystery and possibility.

If I said airsten, would you know whether I meant ersten or aerzten, from the pronunciation, or do you rely on context?

I'm indian but black people treat me like i've oppressed them for years, i have long black hair and darker than white skin, not dark but darker than usual. Is it that anyone that's not 'black' has become a target for black people to claim abuse from? I really didn't do anything to any black people, nor did my ancestors so why do they treat me as such? When i call them on it and say, "I've never done anything to you." they say, "no, but your ancestors did." i get pissed off quite frankly then i say, "No, white people and your people invaded my land and took over it, if my ancestors did anything to you it was out of retaliation and nothing more." Then when i say that i'm indian not white, they get all defensive and try to justify their actions by saying that indians abused blacks too.

I say it is because you all are in misery. And you all need to take it out on Christians. Hence, misery lives company

First, calm down. I am not calling you terrorists. Here's what I am thinking about. The U.S. was attacked on Sept 11, 2001. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives. I'm just establishing facts at this point.

Now, since we seek justice, how should we do this? We've already taken action and have been thoroughly criticised for it. What would have been a better idea? Who should have been the target(s) for our counter attack(s)? What should we have done in reaction to the attacks on 9/11 which caused thousands of Americans to die, thousands more to lose family members, many more to be injured, and yet more still to lose their jobs?

Suddenly enlightenment seems less attractive to me.

Naext it showed him in the hospital saying he couldnt see anything and is blind (later he could see). Then they callen a cathlic person to pray that the spirits went away and it didnt work. Next is showed the family in the kitchen and they were looking at the door as the lock on it turned by its self then the mom locked the door again and then told her kids to go to there rooms. And at one part the daughter was looking in the mirrior and her mon came in and she kept lokking in the mirrior her eyes turened black then went back to normal. She the could move.

Lets make it worse! The loss of feeling will progress untill both arms are numb, then your legs! Although you have loss of sensation, you still have mobility and control. Your alternative is surgery that will cost you most of your mobility, and probably increase pain.

Which would be more important to you? To feel what you touch, or to be able to move freely?
