But say you're very religious, and you're love is going to get executed the next day. YOu're not sure whether he loves you back, but this is the last night you will have with him.
Would you have sex with him, even if it is out of wedlock?

I am working on a case at church. A member of the congragation helped a person in the churches ministry by opening a checking account for the one being ministered (a permant resident alien- legal). The church wanted someone else to do it, an told the person who was helping that they could not aid in this way. The one being ministered did not want any one else but the person who opened it to do it for them, and refused help from anyone else. The church is now punishing the one who helped the other person, by denying them the right to pray over anyone in the church within any church function.
What scriptures can I offer in defence of the person who helped?

Religions which believe in the existence of GOD are only meant for:
1) GREEDY people who wants to request GOD to give them the things they desire and ask for.
2) PATHETIC people who are so scared to go to the so-called HELL in their afterlife and want to enter the so-called paradize of GOD
3) WEAK-WILLED peoplewho constantly needs reassurance and "divine" support to motivate them
4) CONFUSED people who are contemplating their afterlife path
5) GULLIBLE people who believe 100% by word of mouth what other people/religious texts are saying without questioning/doubts

Whether you like it or not, this is my opinion of people who believe somuch in their religions. I think inner strength is the most powerful. You don't need to rely on GOD to show you theway. YOU can find your OWN way out!!! Why should we pray to GOD when we can be LIVING GODS?

I was thinking that prayers always seem to be so many words. I think that the language of prayer feeling. It is enough just to pray that God (or whatever power) removes whatever lies between us and love. Can every moment exist only as an opportunity to love? How can you help me to love more in the moment?

An atheist with an afterlife seems in many peoples eyes to be an oxymoron. Yet ruling out the god hypothesis doesn’t necessarily mean that everything monotheists associate with their god must be ruled out also.

Through a series of ingenious experiments, Albert Einstein demonstrated how time is relative to the observer as opposed to absolute, as was previously considered the case. Yet it was already known that coma patients were capable of living out entire lifetimes in the space of just a few months or even weeks with the same phenomenon being associated to a lesser extent with dreams. Meanwhile, on another continent, Sigmund Freud was developing his ‘psychodynamic theory’ and explaining how unconscious defence mechanisms were capable of shielding people from painful events. One of the most painful, yet inevitable, events of all is seen by many as being death itself.

Take Proverbs 31 for example... in the New World Translation that they (created and) use, the word wife (ba'al) is replaced by the word "owner". Now this is part of the definition from Strong's:

H1167
בּעל
ba‛al
bah'-al
From H1166; a master; hence a husband, or (figuratively) owner (often used with another noun in modifications of this latter sense: - + archer, + babbler, + bird, captain, chief man, + confederate, + have to do, + dreamer, those to whom it is due, + furious, those that are given to it, great, + hairy, he that hath it, have, + horseman, husband, lord, man, + married, master, person, + sworn, they of.


So my question is, why would the word "owner" be used exclusively, and not the word "husband" as is its implication... nor any other closer words like "lord", and how is this usage explained to JW's??

Thanks for your input, and keep it nice.

I grew up in the Church of Christ - but over time as I began to study and pray on my own; I grew tired of all the legalism, hypocrisy and especially judgmental attitudes in that particular body of believers.

That was over 20 years ago but I was wondering today about some of those beliefs, if they are still in effect today like....

1) Do they still believe instrumental music in worship service is a sin?
2) Do they still believe they are not just another denomination, but the one true church of Christ?
3) Do they still believe other Christians in other denominations are going to hell because they are not saved members of the one true church?
4) Do they still preach that dancing and mixed bathing are sinful, immoral behaviors (I swear when I was in high school, they forbade us to go to our own Senior Prom!)


Anyway - these questions are mostly just for those of you who are still in the Church of Christ or might know something about it?

Thank you all!

I also ask you to look closly at yourself before answering. Is you opinion about it really your own, or just a society standard which you have adopted?
And please ask yourself; why is it, that what YOU determine as "right" or "wrong" is in fact "right" or "wrong".
And does your definition of "right" and "wrong" apply on a global scale of life?

I think i've always like a girl than a guy before but lately i've proven that i am be bisexual or lesbian. I have a friend for a year til now, she lives close to me. I find her pretty though others dont and i think i'm prettier than her but that's not the issue hehe. One time i look at her in the eye showing her that i lusted for her. Look to her from head to foot. The next day, she immitates what i did. Days after, i was convinced that she's flirting back at me. I'm not a showy touchy feely type of person, i force myself not to touch her arm or other parts of her body though i really want to. But her, she is opposite than me, she touches my arm, my shoulders, she smiles and looks at me in the eyes, when we talk she touches my hand, i want to see her everyday. I think we have chemistry, we both flirted with each other. Only problem..1.our families, they would not like it 2. i'm not sure she want that kind of relationship, as for me i'm ok with it 3. does she love me?i luv her

Many organisations have failed to report allegations of child abuse and other serious crimes within their ranks to the police. Instead they have dealt with matters in house, sometimes with disastrous results. This is presumably because the consequences of bad publicity are uppermost in the leader's minds. In view of what they claim to stand for, how do adherents come to terms with this and stay with them?

I'm trapped between choosing to convert into Born-Again Christianity or just stay as a Catholic. My dad told me that Born Agains are narrow minded and self-righteous. He even added that they will not be welcomed to God's kingdom because of their self-righteousness. Sometimes I feel that attending services (at a Born Again Church) is much better because we can be alive in praising God rather than just following a ritual. I really need help because I'm so confused. I can't stop thinking about it...

Okay, I'm carving my first pumpkin this year and I want it to be really nice. I've got a stencil and everything, but I had a question about how I'm supposed to cut the top of the pumpkin. All the websites I've been to said to carve the top into a hexagon, so it doesn't fall in, but I still think it might fall in. Is there any other thing you can do while carving the hexagon to make sure the pumpkin top doesn't fall in???

Thanks for taking the time to read this! :)
