I try to keep my soul intact but the pressure of sin is just too great. I am sure my soul is gone after that last one.

my first topic about Jehovah's Witnesses was a success. most of the responses were very opinionated but found to be wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses are loving kind people who yes, to some may annoy people when they come th their door, but always have their bible to share a scripture with someone. no they do not celebrate birhtdays and holidays because there is no scripture in the bible that commands them to do so. everytime someone celebrated birhtdays someone died and i can prove it at Ge. 40:20 Mt 14:6. christmas is not for christians get you r facts straight it was originated from pagans who celebrated the "sun" NOT the "son". and years later it became a tradition being passed on. im not lying anyone can look this up. and Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in blood transfusions beacuse in the bible it says to abstain from blood at acts 15:20. and no they do not want their children to die! that is so sick for people to say that. last. thank you.

One time I was extremly upset because I felt like I had no puropse in life. I felt that I wanted to trully die and I cried myself to sleep. I drempt that I was in a giant room and at the end of it there was a blue arch with a long corridor, everything was white and I coudnt see the ceeling, it was very tall. At the end there was a giant movie screen and a giant figure dressed in white and blue robes came in, the person was very big and tall, I coudnt see from the shoulder up. The figure showed me in the screen how things would be If I would die suddenly. I saw how my mother would be psychologically impacted, and how everyone would be compleatley devastated, not just my family, but friends and everyone in school including my teachers. Then I learend that in me rests a balance that It would be catastrphical to destroy. Now I know that Im a person that although im ignored, I hold an impontant purpose that I cant afford to loose. Was it a dream or something else? It felt so real though.

This summer, Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle said installing single-occupancy restrooms at local beaches would deter homosexual activity. Also, the mayor voted against relocating a homosexual library on public property. Since making these decisions, the mayor has endured public criticism from homosexual activists and their supporters.

Mayor Naugle says the reaction by homosexuals shows the danger of proposed hate crimes legislation.

"There are websites ... identifying different locations in my city that are available for men to have sex with men," says Naugle. "I spoke out against that -- and this is a good example of the dangers of the hate crimes legislation, because I've been [accused of] hate speech and [called] a bigot and all kinds of things." He adds that he finds it "really amazing" that speech against illegal activity is labeled as hate speech.

I do. He seemed to put his all into preaching the word starting out doing tent revivals on street corners until his ministry grew into what it is today. He set up meetings with United States presidents to tell them about Jesus. If I had a dollar for every person he preached to in his life I'm sure I'd be rich. He seems like he has always been a man of intergrity and was married to the same woman for 64 years. God bless him.

Christians who talk about sin being bad for you and then sin are usually called hypocrites, for some ridiculous reason.

Alcoholics, drug addicts, etc, who talk about these things being bad for them and then slip back into old habits are called "recovering ******".

Smokers, who will admit that smoking is bad for them and do it anyway, ....well, I guess I can't think of anything to call them but I don't think of them as hypocrites.

So should Christians change what they are called to "recovering sinners" since Christianity is really for people who are recovering from sin to become better people?

If you are trying to appear sexy does that mean you are not sexy in reality?

Women are always encouraged to be "sexier"? Shouldn't women just be sexy and enticing without trying?

there's a guy on my tv right now saying people who can tell the future are possesed by demons.
do any christians on here believe that? and if so, does this mean that joseph was possesed by demons when he predicted the 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine in egypt?

I have seen Christians describe Hell as the absence of God or distance/separation from God. Althought Christians believe that God is always with us on earth, it is true that (hypothetically speaking) we are separated from God. Therefore I would conclude that 'Hell' is our life on this earth according to Christian belief.

Is this, perhaps, why Christians are so eager to 'get to Heaven'?

He says, "Truly, Truly I say to you. Before Abraham was born, I am..."

Is He saying that He existed well before Abraham, well before anyone else? If so, how does that work because it seems very confusing to me...
