My son's and my Grandchildren live no where near me. I need help around my house. There are programs for seniors,That provide these type of services free of charge but I am 59 years old and I don't qualitify. Because of age. I have one year to go. My income is low enough if I were old enough. I am very disabled. I need a young person who would like a grandma, to help with things like housework, take me to the store, maybe cook a meal for me now and then.Maybe just spend a little time just visiting? I live in a rather Large Senior Building and I can't get out to go to church outside of the building so that the Church Youth group can help. We do our own services right here in the Building by ourselves.There are Grandpa's in need of help who are falling through the cracks as well. Do you think that there would be enough intrest in the teen/young adult community to help older people out with out pay?

One of my friends, not a Mormon, just someone into family history has emailed me a page from the Mormon website showing my late uncle has been baptized, given the Mormon priesthood and "endowed" - what ever that means in a Mormon temple on the other side of the planet.

This is a serious question, so please don't think I'm having a go at you.

In Mormon theology, has he been "converted to mormonism" - possibly against his wishes?

Do you now consider my uncle to be 'a dead mormon'?

I would really appreciate a straightforward answer that I can understand.

Interests you the most? Other than your own.
What religion do you find the most fascinating?

Im not asking what religion would you change to, because I would get answers like "I would never change" "none" blah, blah. blah.

My question is simply, What other religion are you fascinated by?

I was wondering what you think about the idea of past lives and if any of you have any stories or experiences of them.
My mum told me once when she was walking down the street with me in my push chair (I was three years old at the time) when we passed the doctors, I said "I got married here. I was wearing a blue dress and a pretty bonnet and we had a horse and carriage" the doctors used to be a church quite a while ago before it was changed. This makes me think I could have had a past life, maybe around victorian times as it was tradition then to be married in blue, as it was a sign of purity (virgin mary)
What are your experiences and thoughts?

So I am talking to a this guy I know about politics, religion, that sort of thing. And he is obviously leaning a little on the Black nationalist side. He is a young cat, about 20. He called himself hipping me to some real knowledge. But I have already been where he is. I think any black person that really dives into history of black peoples around the world can't help but fall into that militancy phase (you know the one where you reject all things white). He asked me "how do we overthrow the system." Unless we can build a few thousands M1 Abrams tanks and a few thousand f-22's strike fighters (and drive them) we wont be forcibly overthrowing anything.

I told him we stand a better chance of trying to gain power in the existing system than overthrowing it. He says Im a sell out. I say he is just in a phase and to holler at me when he done reading.

What do you think?

In wicca and paganism there is no satan,demons,or evil.If you read about it you would realize that evil dosent excist.Im sure that some people have misused this religion causing you to belive its bad,and that seeing that the god in this religion could be mistaken for an evil creature because of some of the pictures and discriptions of him(ie the horned god).If you knew anything about the religon you would know that there is no devil,satan or demons. what are your thoughts on this..

i know what im setting myself up for.i realize that some people who are not educated about wicca and paganism are going to shout out evil.but i still want to see what your thoughts are..

I will admit that if you are brought up in the surrounding of a nurturing environment i.e. "gay friendly" you will not suffer as much in regards to your social abilities, however like many being denied this you will feel like an outcast in some ways even possibly towards other gay people later in life what do you think?

1 John 3:6-10
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Do you believe you can live a sin free life here on earth?

I am a bit trolly, I ask alot of inane trolly type questions. However, these rarely if ever get deleted. But when I ask a rather thoughtful yet challenging question it gets violated rather quickly. Why is challenging someone to not only believe and practice a thing but also to KNOW WHY they do such a bad thing?

If your belief is not up to the challenge is it worthy of your belief to begin with?

Does fear and pride beat you back from being aware of reality as is ? Do you justify by ego?

we may be displaying signs of over-possessiveness, which could prove to be negative for the child in later years, when reaching the point of achieving its own autonomy and unnecessarily be a cause of our own suffering?
