In my state, we had 6,700 farms in 1965. Now we are down to about 832 dairy farms. Is this happening where you live?

My boyfriend told me last night that in the past, he has felt like he has had a problem with porn and masturbation. Now he is down to about once a week but feels guilty and wants to stop. Also he knows how devastated I was to hear it so he wants to stop for me too. He destroyed all of his porn so I know he's serious about quitting. It would have been easy for him to lie to me because we don't live together and I had no idea. He just felt the need to be honest with me. My problem is it does bother me but I do love him. Also, I am a virgin and am waiting til I'm married so I can't relate at all. (By the way, he totally respects my decision.) I almost feel as though God sent him to me to help him through this so I don't want to abandon him. He's so wonderful in every other way. What should I do?

Jesus Christ authorized the priests of His Church to hear confessions and empowered them to forgive sins in His Name. To the Apostles, the first priests of His Church, Christ said: ``Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.... Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.'' (John 20:21-23). Then again: ``Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.'' (Matt. 18:18). In other words, Catholics confess their sins to priests because priests are God's duly authorized agents in the world, representing Him in all matters pertaining to the ways and means of attaining eternal salvation. When Catholics confess their sins to a priest they are, in reality, confessing their sins to God, for God hears their confessions and it is He who, does the forgiving

I never understood that. If the church says you can eat eggs during Lent on Fridays, doesn't that kinda mean that a fetus is not considered a real baby? Like before 2 months of pregnancy? I think that egg is a meat and you should not be able to eat it during Lent on Fridays.

Seriously, you could take a lesson or two from the great Parker and Stone. Have you ever seen Super Best Friends? Joseph Smith is united with the other best friends against evil(except Buddha, who doesn't really believe in evil). He has ice breath for crying out loud!

And to quote a smart little imaginary Mormon boy:
"All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."-Gary, All About Mormons

And that's that. If you guys can't look past our religion and just be nice, then don't be anything. It just makes you look dum dum dum dum dum

Peace.

The book of mormon clearly states Another testiment of Jesus Christ. The book of mormon clearly contridicts the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ... Does it not fall into the catagory of Galations 1:6-9 and 2 Corinthians 11:3-15

For 1500 years there was no "Protestant" schism and Christianity was basically the RCC.

When Non Christians called them false and misguided then were they CORRECT as per the Protestants ?

In other words, are Protestants saying that the Non Christians were correct in calling early Christianity the wrong path for 1500 years ?

Abaddon, also known as Apollyon in Greek, is the Angel of the Abyss in the Book of Revelations, also known as Apollyon the Destroyer.
Some say this Abaddon must be a demon. Some, including myself, say he is a type of angel. What do the JWs say?

So, you hurled back in time by an unknown force, and find the baby Adolf Hitler in his crib. Should you kill him?

If you do, you will prevent the murder of 6 million Jews and untold millions of others, prvent WW II, and probably prevent the Cold War which followed.
..but...
Adolf, at this point, is a innocent babe. He has commited no crime yet.

What should you do?

WARNING: I already know the answer. Be careful, and think before you reply.
