Atheism is the fasting growing minority, we need to stop this free thought movement before it really takes off.



Jesus is the way and the light and all the rest of that stuff.

If in the bible it jesus tells us there is no marrige in heaven then one could logicaly assume that marrige is over at the point of death. My problem with this is bein a married man it hurt me to think that i would lose my wife someday even if we are both granted heaven, then i started reading further and came across how the heavens and the earth would pass away and be reformed. So is it possible that the number 144,000 referred to in revelation is the number of actual people going to heaven and the rest would be put back on the earth in a second garden of eden type dwelling. Making it possible for marriges to continue? Any logical thoughts would be apreciated.

With all the different possible views in the world, doesn't it seem unfair to teach children what to believe? also, it seems that it kind of creates a self for the child, instead of the child becoming himself. for instance, the pledge of allegiance, prayers, church/religion altogether, racism, etc etc. Isn't this just making the child think what you want, and eventually becoming whatever you want him/her to become?
I don't know. It just seems kind of wrong to me.
Any views on this?

woe unto the ones who reject Jesus and mock his holy spirit! I feel for your soul because you will forever be tormented in the pit of hell. why can't people understand that. If you do not repent and confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord you are doomed.and the sad thing about it is that you will remember these words you read right here on ya hoo answers but it will be to late to ask God to forgive you. In hell you will reap what you sowed here on earth. these things i am telling you are not to benifit me because i already have my mansion in heaven. Jesus loves us all so very much that he died for us so that we shall live forever in heaven and not perish. please give jesus a chance,think about it. God comes to those who seek him. call on the lord Jesus and ask him to help you believe He will listen. God loves you and would love to hear from you.may God bless, guide, and protect you always. please try to find God he is never far from you. accept him he will never leave you.

Who, or what are Jinn? The Qur'an speaks of Jinn. What are they made of? Can we see them? If not, then why not? Are there other creatures which exist that we can't see?
Please be direct and give as much information as you can.
I welcome answers from both Muslims and Non-Muslims.

Jesus said "the body and spirit never to be separated again."
All Christ did while here was to show us the way to our Heavenly Father.

So if the body isnt a requirement of heaven why was he resurrected and said that?

I remember when I was young and in Mozambique with my parents in their set-up medical clinic...
They were treating a middle-aged women who was dying of AIDS. I'll never forgot her beautiful radiant smile as she said with her last breath :
" God will take care of me".
Her face was filled with so much faith, joy and peace that I was both happy and envious of her. For though I was a Christian missionary kid I always had my doubts about everything and anything having to do with religion, especially Christianity.
Although this wasn't my first glimpse at death
the experience was incredible and unforgettable, it was as if I were looking unto her spirit and she was at peace in a higher beings love. I never had a close connection with my parents beliefs nor had I ever felt anything "out of this world" but that one day, I was at least able to see something miraculous.

I'm writing letters to companies, schools, organizations, etc. asking for sponsorship for my tuition for the National/Int'l Youth Leadership Forum. I've noticed that some of these places, such as museums, ask for sponsorship themselves. Is it rude to write to them for contributions? Should I stick to writing to businesses?

If a man has sex with another man, or if a woman has sex with another woman, then no one is hurt as long as they are both consenting adults. And if someone chooses to transition from male to female or from female to male, the act itself doesn't hurt anyone (though when the person is in a relationship, the partner can be hurt by it, but that's a different story). So why is it a sin?

you can always take mine! she is JW too and can only get along with JW people. Tonight she will make a drama because we have a birthday party in my house and she is coming to give me some keys to another of my aunts... then she starts fighting and complainig and blah! and she is always putting my religion down and acts really nasty to it but I always respect hers and even take her Bible studies and act possitive to it.

I know you guys are not all like her because I've met extremly cool JWs and the ones in here are nice, but really! my aunt only gets along with ya'll. Can you take her? yoou can send her home on vacation... but take it again, OK?

Any advice to deal with her? She has problems with most of the family, we always respect her but she is always complaining, she gossips sometimes, etc... we love her anyways.
