i can pretty much have a good conversation with other people, but it doesnt work with her....

(she's bi, and im in the closet, but i think she knows i am since ive shown some hints)

i asked her out before. she said yes but never called. the date has passed, so i decided to be over her, but days later she approached me..she even opened up to me about her problems...but then we have nothing to talk about after...she never really asked questions (i didnt also coz i was always listening)...but she just stayed there despite the silence....

i dont know if i should invest emotionally for her...ive seen her with guys...i dont know...is this all worth it?

As a girl my mum was called a devils child by a group of Jehovah witnesses. I think I know her pretty well and she is a good person, for what reason would they call her that?

God is Jesus. If anyone believes this you are Gods chosen child. You will be taken to heaven with the other chosen and you will not parish in hell.

Search the scriptures and you will be unable to find another instance of an angel greeting any of God's other creatures in such a manner.

Gabriel obviously understood the God ordained role of this humble woman of Nazareth, since his manner of greeting was one of respect and reverence to the mother of Jesus, the queen of the royal house of david, the queen of heaven, and the queen of the angels, according the grace of God, by virtue of her divine motherhood.

Why can't protestants understand this simple text?

Luk 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women ...
Luk 1:31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And his kindom will have no end.

I want to be Beth, Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife, for Halloween. My husband's already got his Dog costume all worked out and it's perfect! If you've seen the show, you know you can't be Beth without huge boobs because that woman has got the biggest boobs I've ever seen. Any ideas for what materials I can use to make fake boobs? It would be nice if I could show some cleavage, but at this point, I'm willing to just wear a tight sweater and pack my huge bra with something. Thanks for any help!

Does it really matter whether a given religion is "true" or not? Does it matter whether its mythology is literal history or allegory or outright falsehood? Does that make the experience of the practitioners of that religion less real, less valid? Wasn't every religion "made up" by someone at some point? But doesn't every religion touch on some deep spiritual truth that transcends all religions? In that way, aren't they all true?

Can you break down the belief of Catholics? What do they believe? What are their practices? How often do they have to confess? What is a hail mary? What is mass? I know absolutely nothing about it and I was interested in it.

For the record, I am a Christian (pentecostal Holiness).

Freedom of speech (ie no censcorship)
or moral obligation to the upbringing and well being of our children?

PS - doesn't matter if you have children or not - I'm interested in your views on the moralities that society teaches our children.

In Central New York State, they are having a problem with MRSA (staph infection.)

The situation: Due to overuse of antibiotics a strong strain (resistant to antibiotics) has taken hold and is infecting people in record numbers.

The virus has adapted through natural selection and become an incredibly strong virus. (ie through so called "Evolution")

Can you please go there and tell the doctors and populace not to worry because evolution doesn't exist. It says so in the bible.

I am sure the parents of the child that died would love to hear from you. I think it will soothe their souls. Thanks in advance.

You dress sexy or when you do things the way you feel comfortable? I have no examples of this but I don't understand what makes you a "S*L*U*T" and why has society deem this as being a slut? Just because some girls are too ugly or lack self-esteem?

Ok why on earth is it that athiests seem to be at christianity's throat, and christianity is always at the athiest's throat?? I mean, the majority of athiests don't start condemning other religions except christianity (most, not all)...but why condemn it at all? And christians love to attack athiests..why on earth is this?? It makes no sense. Why not just go on with each other's lives? Why all the fuss?

Something causing a major shift in your thinking ?
An experience that makes you see the world differently,
or make you understand yourself better,
or make you understand other better ?

Is that something you can experience through fasting, or lots of exercice, or meditation, or relaxation techniques, or sex, or age, or drugs, or psychotherapy, or deep thinking, or martial arts, or arts, ... ?

Can you consider that people have spiritual experiences without linking that to god(s) ?

Have a good day.
