Heard through the grapevine that his health is ? [my aunt reported that at a regional conference a couple weeks ago, he asked the saints there to pray for his health]. Admittedly, he's 96 or 97... but he didn't speak at the General Women's Conference as has been his custom. Any one have any news?

We think we have a playful spitit in our home.
Things go missing on a regular basis. For example my daughters music teacher just came around, and the music stand that is always in the back room was nowhere to be seen! We searched for it but it has just gone.
Experience tells me that it will turn up in a few days, neatly folded away near the fireplace.
I think the music teacher thought we were winding him up!
Any of you have a playful ghost?!

My mom, told me repeatedly, to stay off the roof & not to jump off it either. She felt I would land in her cactus garden & get hurt.
I didn't do as asked and kept jumping off the roof. Day came that I fell backwards upon landing & my mom enjoyed every minute of pulling those thorns out of my back & a#*. One by one.

You can claim that judging people is wrong and claim that you don't do it.
You then judge someone and get called on it.
You can a) deny, deny, deny or b) ask God for forgiveness.
Either way you never really have to own up to it or take any kind of personal responsibility for your actions.

Maybe you don't believe this is true for you, personally. But most nonbelievers see Christians as being this way. That is why many people would not want to become Christians even if they COULD believe in your fairy tales. People don't like to be associated with hypocrites and liars.

Some people who claim they do not believe in Jesus get pretty aggitated at the mere mention of his name in a question or sentence - why is this?

It seems to me that Canada, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil etc. could have equals rights to the name American. After all they are all in the Americas. We call the people of the europe; europeans, the people of Asia; Asians, and the people of Africa: Africans. However; If you say Americans then you are refering to citizens of the United states or America. Anyone know why this is? Why are we not USAers?

okay, i know i should be charged like 50 points for all these questions, but....

Isn't it entirely based off of a self help book called dianetics?

Am I entirely wrong?

This sounds like a number of other religions, but they claim theirs is better because their book is older....

I'd be interested in an overview from a scientologist.

Why is it called scientology? is it just to create a loose association with science?

These days you hear all sorts of people trying to convert you to their point of view whether its politics religion or science. Is it more important to self evaluate these beliefs, or is it more important to gather a following for a set of beliefs?

"If the Jews had obeyed God and killed the people they were supposed to then Muhammad never would have been born and we would all be better off for it. God knows what he's doing."

I'm of the opinion that if such a god existed, then it could have prevented anyone it wanted from being born through means such as miscarriage, wild animal attacks, disease, or (heaven forbid) just making that person believe something else. I tend to think that if there is a god, or any gods, then they're powerful enough to prevent certain things from happening without resorting to asking/commanding their believers kill people, especially when it goes against it's other commandments (Thou shalt not kill?).

So what are your thoughts about this statement?

Faith is not evidence of things unseen unless it is placed in the Biblical God, right? (Otherwise, a Muslim or Scientologist's faith is equally valid to Christian faith.)

Is this like a judge saying "Only evidence that proves the defendant's innocence can be used. Everything else is faulty, mistaken, or planted."

Jesus started one true Christian religion. So today there must be just one body, or group, of true worshipers of Jehovah God. (John 4:23, 24; Ephesians 4:4, 5) The Bible teaches that only a few people are on the narrow road to life.—Matthew 7:13, 14.

The Bible foretold that after the death of the apostles, wrong teachings and unchristian practices would slowly come into the Christian congregation. Men would draw away believers to follow them instead of Christ. (Matthew 7:15, 21-23; Acts 20:29, 30) That is why we see so many different religions that claim to be Christian. How can we identify true Christians?

Simply spiritual death, or eternal punishment? I am an atheist, agnostic in theory. However, I like to study these sort of things. Let this be a sort of experiment, and we'll see what sort of result we can draw from the answers.
