Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

Well, I'm here to say, Oh hecky naw! That male does not represent me or any other Quran following Muslim who just want to live in peace and raise their families, following Islam of course so that their wives are just as much a part of society as the men are according to the Sunnah. His violence is against Islam. Nobody attacked him, he had no right to kill 3000 people that day nor any other innocent people he's murdered using his brainwashed nutjobs. What do you think of this?

"All this amounts to an odd and extreme violation of the normal methods of Islamic scholarship. Had the authors of such fatwas [non-binding legal opinions] followed the norms of their religion, they would have had to acknowledge that no school of traditional Islam allows the targeting of civilians. An insurrectionist who kills non-combatants is guilty of baghy, "armed transgression", a capital offence in Islamic law.

The CHOICES...... Are.....

1. Forgiveness from Christ Jesus.... for your Sin / Sins with Eternal Life in Heaven with Him

= OR =

2. Eternal Damnation and Eternal Torment in the Lake of
Fire

(1Corinthians 16:22) If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

AND...

(Rev 20:12) And I saw the dead, the small and the great, stand before God. And books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

(Rev 20:13) And the sea gave up the dead in it. And death and hell delivered up the dead in them. And each one of them was judged according to their works.

(Rev 20:14) And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.

(Rev 20:15) And if anyone was not found having been written in the Book of Life, he was cast into the Lake of Fire.

WHICH.... one for YOU ?

Thanks, RR

Just curious about what the JW policy is on education, particularly college and higher education?

Also is the policy the same for men and women?

For me, I transformed myself into a better person when I was given a "second chance". Basically, I was scared straight and I made something of my second chance.

Now, I'm looking for a next step and I'm wondering how you overcame and excelled.

How does he feel about me now considering I was born again, felt his holy spirit inside me, (you instantly feel love for everyone, and a warm breeze going through you) then believed the holy ghost was from Satan, felt his Holy spirit leave me, heard him scream at me saying he wont ever forgive me, then imediatly realized Jesus wasn't Satan, that God wasn't the Devil, and that I was too paranoid/stupid to believe God was the Devil.

I hope he realized I have add, ocd, ahdh, I am bi-polar, I'm a gemini with multiple personalities, part of me likes holy things, part of me likes going crazy and sin, I think too much about everything, don't know who I truly am, yet he holds all that against me.

I screamed up in the air I hate you god your no God to many anymore and I hate you for making me. I told him you can't make me and I'm slowly getting more evil losing my good conscience everyday.

hmm...

So exactly what is happening here?

I did not have room for the whole text....here it is.
John 9:31 "Now we know that God heareth not sinners,but if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth."
so....if He does not hear sinner's prayers, then how can one be saved?

If GOD wants you to sit down on his private chair(!) in "The World Control Room(!)" for just a hour and lets you control whole the universe for that time,,, then the first thing you do is what...?!

Obviously he supports it for procreation, you know the whole "go forth and be fruitful" thing, but does he ever support it as a form of entertainment? It seems so flawed that something like sex is holy if it is. Sex is an abomination that has consumed humanity, broken down souls and minds, destroyed morals, and humans underestimate its power.

I got married last month in Las Vegas. My sister is giving my husband and I a party. This is not a shower, and not an occasion where I am expecting gifts. However, I know that some people may bring gifts. In this instance, do I open the gifts at the party, or should I wait until later? I have heard different perspectives. Some say that you open gifts at a shower, but not at a party. Other people are of the opinion that it is tacky not to go ahead and open the gifts that people bring. I don't want to offend anyone! What is the proper protocol here! Thanks!

Without any biased answers, in these modern days, are they any religions out that actually believe in following evil? I mean some Christians will say that Islam is evil yet on the other side Muslims will say the same thing about Christians. But both religions both believe in serving the "light" even though they may be perceived as evil by other religions. Even Satanism these days is different. The Church of Satan which is actually more towards Atheism since they don't believe in a God or Satan, is more towards serving the light. I mean their rules tell you to abide by the law and not to harm children. What religion in modern times is actually about total chaos or anarchy?

I want to study one year in Japan through an exchange program. How do I convince my mom to let me go?

She suggested it once, so I know she has thought about it..

How do I approach her and ask her if it's okay with her?

One of the impediments she would put is the price of 8000 dollars (I'm in Mexico), but the school I'm going to in two years is much more expensive than that anyway, So I can tell her that..

Well, any Ideas? I've started gathering info from the net, I am thinking of printing it for her or just be ready for any question she asks.

Oh, and my Dad is okay with it.

My friend goes to church(not Catholic), but the last few weeks she did not. She received a letter in the mail saying that she was not allowed to come back to church until she pays $200. They explained in the letter that this was her portion of what she would normally give as a donation(they decided on the figure, she did not). Her and her husband have had to cut back financially and can barely keep a roof over their heads. She felt very betrayed by the church. I thought that no matter what your social status in life, you could worship God as he loves everyone. How can a church shun someone who is trying to be a good Christian because they can't pay the "admission"???? I told her she can watch the religion channel in our area and get just as good churching as she would get from a live sermon. She watched the person I suggested and was thrilled by him.

Look how MOST of them answered, and how they ignored that I said SOME. See how you guys condemn yourselves? Guys, mere insults, accusations, those are not evidence, not is the force of your hate. Grow up already, think scientifically. You know what science is right? You know what science is right? You love to use it against Christians all the time, talking about it but apparently not knowing what it actually is (and interestingly it was Christians who invented modern science, but of course you knew that too, right?).

Come on, out with your ole standard ranting and insulting tactics. Come on, make your false reports, that's all you can do. That's atheism for you.

Should people live their lives soley based on what makes them feel good, irregardless of how it may affect others? What should take precedent, your self gratification or the benefit of your fellow man.
