I believe in the power of numbers. I am looking to use 726 or 728 in a tagline but want to make sure it is not a negative number in numerology, or some other number centric believe system. Does anyone know?

I live in the upper part of the south and I have to say I've met some of the meanest and rudest (and most closed minded) people in this part of the US. Grant it, I haven't been further south since I was a toddler but I've vistied some of the northern parts of the country (Philly and Lancaster County) and I find the people are no more rude or no more nice than the people in and around my state of Virginia.

And for starters when someone points out that you are being rude, they are usually rude and condescending themselves when doing it.

What's your take on Southern Hospitality?

Government thought highly enough of the fine arts and sciences to give them generous funding. Yet the money came with many strings attached. Artists after 1932 were bound to the dogma of socialist realism, whereby (in the words of the Union of Writers’ charter) they were to engender “a true and historically concrete depiction of reality in its revolutionary development” and assist in “educating the workers in the spirit of communism.” Adherence to this state-mandated cultural movement was enforced primarily through the oversight of the artists’ unions. In science, where there was no tidy formula for political correctness, researchers took their work assignments from above and were expected to trim their opinions to the prevailing line.

So what about this posters?
TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 4 (UPI) — An Israeli scientist said ancient documents suggest a major earthquake triggered by the Dead Sea Fault is long overdue in the Middle East.


“For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.”
—Eze 38:20
According to scientists, all hot spots – Sumatra. Yellowstone and many others are showing signs of disturbance – even harmonic tremors.

According to some, we are really sitting in front of a series of very catastrophic series of earthquakes all over the world.

My daughter has a project to make up a myth on how earth, sun, moon, mountains, sea, etc... was created. Any ideas? If you had to use your imagination what would you say?

If we have to live with people hurling accusations at each other - well...why aren't they more specific about it?

I am referring to the Ultra-Agressive portions of the two great superpowers of R&S - who both claim logic and reason being on their side.

More often than not - both slices of each group make outlandish claims about the other and care not about making any sort of distinctions whatsoever.

Every Christian is an idiot, every Atheist is Immoral. Blah blah blah. When did (not)believing in something make you anti- ___? That doesn't even logically follow.

Do you of the radical Christians really believe in some sort of bizzare atheist conspiracy against your God? Do you think all of them cackle gleefully at you downfall?

Do you aggressive atheists honestly believe that all Christians are at the root/source of strife and evil in the world? I mean - even the Coptic monk out in the middle of the desert?

I would like to think you all can grasp nuances.

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

I think Thomas the apostle said it all there

thanks

You can't claim the NWT as the only bible that is unadulterated

it was written in the 1950's

new world is short for new world order

where the pope will establish himself as the antichrist, and cause all to worship on sunday, that is his mark, god's mark is saturday, which is why he tells us to remember his sabbaths as these will be a sign between him and us

and in revelations he asks for those that have that sign on their forheads to be caught up with him

You remeber with your head, and do work with your hands, which is why he asks us to do no work on that day

The mark of the beast is received on your hand or your head, depending if you think like the beast or are forced into follwing him through fear

...you've ever seen a person do in public? Due to rising gas prices, well that and the fact that I don't own a car, I use public transportation to get me to work and back. Anyway, I was on the bus this morning when I happened to notice this girl who looked no more than 20, reading a book. I couldn't help but chuckle when I looked at its spine and saw the title, "G-Spot." One would think that she would want to read something like that in the privacy of her own home. Anyway, this WASN'T the most outrageous thing I've ever seen a person do in public, but it was fresh in my mind. Okay, R&S regulars, I wanna hear your experiences!

For example. I have no problems with blacks, but I’m not a huge fan the slang, the hip hop, etc.
I have nothing against Mexicans, but I don’t want to hear that music blaring in the neighborhood, can’t stand everything being in Spanish, and am sickened by 10+ people living in a single family dwelling.
Does this make me a bigot? Anyone else feel like this?

My brother recently came out of the closet and he has the full support of our entire family. My uncle however was recently overheard saying that he "always detected a touch of lavender" when it came to my brother. When asked what he meant he just shrugged and said, "I always noticed a hint of mint about him"...my sister thinks this was a horrible thing to say. As far as I know it's the only comment my uncle's had about this whole thing. I think we should let it drop but my sister is seething. My uncle is in his 70s and if anything I think he showed restraint compared to what he could have said.

on how to treat a disease, does that change the fact that one way is most likely superior to the other?

Why can this be the case, yet when discussing moral issues, many people cannot imagine one moral code being superior to another without appealing to a Supreme Law-Giver?

(you know, like when the characters are being introduced and they're partaking in some kind of activity, but then stop to pose for the camera while their name is plastered under their head or whatever), what kind of thing would YOU be doing?


I'd be petting a white pony, and then would stop to acknowledge the camera by cocking my head to the side slightly, flashing the big cheese, and pullin the ol' double gun point. Ahhhh, I'd be SO money with that kind of intro.

why are the charismatics (i.e. Pentecostal) the only ones that he chooses to knock down / paralize and/ or induce seizures in, as well as causing them to babble incoherently? I have heard some conservative factions credit Satan for this behaviour. I find it confusing. What say you?

What a difference a sad event in Someone's life makes.
GEORGE CARLIN (His wife Recently died...)

A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copi es than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

George Carlin

United States and although not a Religion, they rank #4 in size when comparing to the Major Religions.) You never hear of them gathering in the streets rioting, burning flags of other Countries or demanding the death of a Country's leaders. Does this mean Atheists, Agnostics and Other Non-Believers are more Peaceful and Law Abiding?

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

3 days ago a question:-"Which Chakra do you find to be most active?"

I answered, quoting a verse of sri.Sankaracharya:-"Kscitau Sat Panchasadvi--"and asked the questioner "Why do you people waste your time,misunderstanding the subject by reading 'CheapTanslations' and talking -root,heart,eye chakras etc?" Translating Moolaadharam as root,Vishukthi( heart) Aagjnaa( eye) are totally wrong and irresposible- a Mockery of the concepts of Hindu Religion,bruising the sentiments of Hindus.I received an e-mail- " my answer has been DELETED because of "Violation!!"- what was "Violation", in defending my religious concepts? The Chakrams enumerated above are Abstract Religious concepts.The question looks just as asking "what ice cream you ate today ?" It is an insult to Hindus.October,11,2007 (Thursday) Navarathri starts-Thousands of Hhindu Ladies will perform Sri.CHAKRAM, MERU,Navaavaranam,Lalitha Sahasranamam pooja--who will be very upset that their belief on CHAKRAMS is being mocked at.
