I personally am happy for her but i think that she will still have the same problems with this boyfriend that she had with her past husbands she's the common denominator in all these relationships i think that she made herself look desperate which is sad cuz she seems to always be looking for love getting a white boyfriend isn't going to change her problems though i hope she doesn't do like some blacks who have mixed kids and surround their children with only white culture and then they learn very little of their black culture and try to identify more with whites. Thanks for answering!

that I value my own freedom and that my two little children need me. They are more important to me than the beliefs of some stranger or even somebody I know. The prejudice and hate, along with the ignorance, was very obvious in the fact that you automatically took it negatively.

Had you thought about it and looked at the entire question, you would have seen that it was meant as a "my freedom is too important" way. Not at a "you're worthless" thing. I'd never say that, and those who know me know that it's not who I am. I mean you are not worth me going to jail and missing out on my children growing up. You are not worth me giving up my awesom husband or trading in my spacious house for a tiny jail cell.

Why was this so hard to understand?

If Jesus were "God," why in the world would he have to call on spirits lower in power and rank and created beings for that matter, for help? For he says, "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matt 26:53)

Evangelicals often quote the bible as supreme authority. I have seen it used for all sorts of reasons to prove or disprove things.

Why to they have absolute faith in the Bible above all other things.

I was looking at how we got the current new testement and it appears that Martin Luther chopped up a lot of of and take books out that didnt fit his ideology. He also wanted to get rid of James but other convinced him not to.

So if the current evagelical bible is incomplete how can you view that everything in it is full truth.

Statements about "dont add anything to this book" revelation and " useful for teaching etc" timothy were written before much of the rest of the new testement.

I would argue that the bible never says its the sole authority and instead says that the Church is the pillar of Truth.

I am not saying that the bible is wrong, I believe it is the word of God but need so be read in the light of church history.

1-400 years isint much history is it??

I was curious as to whether any active members of Jehovah's Witnesses have ever researched their own religion or religious questions from any other source than your own publications. I understand you would not read "apostate" information, but how about reliable, unbiased information? If not, why? If so, did you honestly ponder the information?

for example you have:
-high rate of poverty (13% of population)
-high disequalities among social and ethnic classes
-no welfare state (no free education and no free health system)
-corrupted goverment (look bush)
-No efficient Civilian protection (look Katrina's hurricane disaster)
-high tax of criminality (5,9 homicides every 100.000 persons)
-religion fanaticism (for example the integralist christians)
-lower respect of human rights respect western europeans countries, canada, australia, etc (many US americans states enforce the penalty death)

If Jesus was truly the God of heaven and earth, why does he not even know the date of "His" own coming? For he says, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matt 24:36) As you can see, Jesus does not claim to know the day or hour he will return. Furthermore, Jesus makes known here that he is not the Father. For if the trinity truly did exist, and so there is just one God, monotheism, then Jesus would be the Father, or also the "Spirit." Since there "is just one God."
Thus, Jesus would simply come as a Father, or the Spirit; that is if the trinity doctrine were to be true, but it is not. Rather it is a false doctrine!

The teaching of a 'trinity God' is one of the main reasons why Jews will not accept Jesus as their messiah, for 'Christians' claim that Jesus is God, but he never said this, and in fact denies it in Matthew 19...

The Question I just asked was meant to show those who hate every single Muslim for what few do that everyone was harmed. And still are being harmed.

"Or imagine being Baraheen Ashrafi, nine months pregnant with her second child. Her husband, Mohammad Chowdhury, was a waiter at Windows of the World restaurant, on the top floors of Tower One. The morning of September 11, they prayed salaat-l-fajr (the pre-dawn prayer) together, and he went off to work. She never saw him again. Their son, Farqad, was born 48 hours after the attacks -- one of the first 9/11 orphans to be born. In an interview with CTV Canada, she relates that in the months to follow, she mourned for her husband and endured the hostility of some ignorant people around her. "When they saw me ... I'm wearing a scarf. There is a hate look."

So I've heard all this stuff about how bad a Ouija board is and how it can attract spirits, and I've also heard that they're fake and a childs toy. Does anybody have an educated guess, in relative terms anyway, as to what could happen if someone were to use a Ouija board in a church?

Has anyone had this happen to them? A few of my friends tell me they only post to R+S and have had their accounts suspended. They also tell me an appeal email will just generate an automatic response that says basically states they can't be bothered.

Any experiences, thoughts, etc?

'The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day' - which is claimed by the Watchtower Society as proof that they are God's chanel for 'new light' today. This is how they dismiss their errors and explain away false statements; the closer we get to Armageddon, the clearer Truth will become. I was so busy ducking the flak in a similar Q, it closed before I could get round to answering it! Could other contributors kindly offer their insights? Thanks!

What do you have to say about this? We Muslims are told everyday that we are terrorists. We're told we all want to kill you (Puh lease! You're not worth the jail time and I'm not an idiot to kill somebody for believing differently than me anyways!) Did it ever occur to you that there were Muslim victims of 9-11 too? Or did you only see the American Christians as victims who died, but ignored the American Muslims that were alongside them going through it and helping out?

"Thousands of innocent lives were lost on September 11, 2001, and our hearts and prayers go out to their families and loved ones. For several hundred of the victims of 9/11, grief and sorrow has been compounded by constant suspicion, bias, hatred, and attacks on the faith they hold dear.

2 kings chapter 2 verse 23 to 25.
Let me get this straight:
42 kids mock your holy man.
So what does your holy man do???
He curses them in the name of god.
Then to add insult to injury, god sends a bear to kill all the children.
Wow, what a godly little story to tell your children.
Now listen up kids:
if you mock a man of god, he will curse you and god will send a bear to eat you alive.
Now tell me Christians, do you still believe the buybull is the inerrant word of god?
you Christians should be ashamed of yourselves!
How can you approve the killing of children.
Oh, one more thing, if god is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, then why, oh, why do you not kill children who curse ministers?
UHHHH, thought so.

Earlier this year, Bush promised that if Iraq told us we should leave, then we would get out of there. Today, Paul Harvey reported that three major studies were conducted independently of each other, to size up the attitudes and feelings of the Iraqi people. All three studies found that at this point, 47% of Iraqis want us to leave -- NOW!!

If that number gets to be over 50%, Bush can either do the honorable thing (don't hold your breath!) and get all of our troops OUT of there, on the spot. Or he can break his promise, and thus, once **again**, prove to everyone that his word isn't worth a fried rat turd. Which one do YOU think he'll do, if the Iraqis tell us to leave?

I live in a condo, I own it, I am on the top floor, below me are a fairly nice couple who just got married. Our floor plan is exactly the same. In the morning their alarm goes off and they hit snooze every 10 min for 2 hours until one of them gets up. Then the other one's alarm goes off and stays on loud for like 30 minutes until she gets up. Help!!! I work full-time just not the the same hours they do. How should I approach the this, just talk with them? And how do I position it it in a nice way? Thanks in advance!!!
