In the modern remake of the Battlestar Galactica series done by the Sci-Fi Channel the Colonials are depicted as being polytheistic (in fact, worshipping Gods and Goddesses very similar to those of ancient Greece and Rome). Their opponents the Cylons are monotheistic and believe that their God wants them to exterminate the Humans (even though there are individual Cylons who do not embrace this policy).

Is this a case of Art imitating History? After all, the Christian Church after it was made legal then adopted a policy of exterminating Pagans in forced conversion campaigns.....

Wouldn't a little note be better than a phone call saying, "Hi this is your niece who you haven't seen in 30 years"

Someone just said you can't convert to Jehova's Witnesses...why?

Doesn't that go against EVERYTHING God taught us about accepting people into the covenant?

that god is real using quotes from sections of the bible or other "holy" text? If a Atheist doesn't believe in any gods, why would he believe a text that is suppose to be written by one?

Have you ever seen him? I know I haven't. And don't say Osama Bin Laden, bc I'll slap you.
For that matter, God isn't real either.

We go to peoples homes at OUR expense to help people learn more about the Bible as you can see from the answers in this forum most people either don't know what they believe or can't prove it scriptually the fact is that they have been victiems of WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. you were warned this would happen. YOU CANNOT JOIN JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. We only want to help you understand the Bible so you can make an informed decision. YOUR RELIGION IS YOUR BUSINESS. Don't be blinded by false religious dogma, have a conversation with us. Use the Bible as the Guide, many have critized the NWT , go to this site & see what a Harvard PHD said of it. http://www.tetragrammaton.org/truthintrans.htm Look most of us came from other religions, we left because of the accurate Bible knowledge we learned. We only have love for you, & we will respect your right to refuse to talk to us, we're used to it. But do ask questions & insist on scriptual answers. Its not what we think

I have been at my job for about six months.
I really like my job, and see myself moving up eventually.

The problem is this:
My boss (I am her secretary) is the worlds biggest gossip! She tells her co-workers and me personal things about her employees and I want her to realize that she is hurting people and herself. You know how gossip gets around!

She can be really nice, but she tends to tell me alot about others that seems to be crossing the line. I never repeat what I hear.

In the past she has gotten rid of employees who stand up to her. So I feel if I let her know how much it bothers me, she may do the same to me!

She retires in a couple years.

So I guess what I want to know is:
How do I cope with this women who is making me crazy??

A friend (we are not close, but friends) had a family member die. I do not know the family memeber, but they left behind a wife with 5 children. Should i put money in the card? I know when my father died, we really appreciated money and put it all towards a donation in his name. This persons brother died, and he doesn't live here in town, but i am wondering if i gave her money, if she would know to give it to her widowed sister in law?

I do not hate or condemn Catholics, I LOVE them! I just despise ALL teaching that “steals” glory from God!

In my last post, some Catholics AGREED that salvation according to the Catholic Church is BASED on grace PLUS works.

Others seemed to indicate that this is a “lie” and that the Catholic Church teaches salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

But let’s go to the Catholic source, itself (which, sorrowfully, is NOT the Bible):
"No one can MERIT the initial grace which is at the origin of conversion. Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can MERIT for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods" (Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), par. 2027).

Look, if you REALLY want to know the truth, look here:
http://www.carm.org/catholic/gospel.htm

You CAN be saved and a Christian, even if you are a Catholic. NO denomination is “perfect” in their teaching.
