A friend will be in London this week, staying right around Paddington station, not far from Picadilly Circus.

I need some good, quality Halloween decorations, especially hanging paper skeletons. I have large walls, and need something to create visual impact.

Where can my friend go shopping? Can you tell me exact addresses, or if they have a phone number or website?

dont get me wrong, i love god. i believe in god and the bible whole heartidly. i just hate church. i dont believe that one has to go to church to have a relationship with god. it seems to me that churches lie to people. this thang about giving 10% of all your money is bs. why should i give 10% of my money to a church? that money is mine and mine only. god oesnt need the money so why do they preach that to us? also why do churches have members? isnt the "house of the lord" open to everyone? so then if it is why have members? my last question is, what do you believe about all this? i am in no way trying to offend anyone, i am just trying to get answers and see what other people think :).

I asked a question about rapture earlier - IDK how to paste the link in (sorry)

Thanks to those who answered...

But it's not really fair is it?

We weren't taught this as part of our RE (Religious Education) in the UK!

So does that mean that we will miss out on the party and have to go through the tribulisation stuff and everything - I don't fancy biting my tongue for 5 months (mind you, its only 5 months - I suppose!)

Anyway - If this is something that the Americans have made up so that they get to heaven first - then it's not fair! I'll have to make something up to give us Brits a leg up!

BTW Someone asked if I had "been to The Cross" recently... you are a little behind the times - It's been refurbished and is now a swanky Itallian restraunt....Shame, The Cross was a cracking pub!

Anyway back to my question - This "rapture" thing - is it fair on us Brits?

Jews believed in Moses(pbuh) because he did miracles and so did jesus (pbuh). What drew people to islam in ancient times?

Surely it was not the scientific evidence in the quran.

While browsing at Borders last night, a man visiting the US from India walked up to me and introduced himself as a 'Ghandhian". I had never heard that term used before. He was wearing homegrown, homespun, and hand-loomed cotton clothing, and he was very friendly and congenial. He was surprized when I drew attention to the fact that I already knew about his clothing, before he told me. He was an avid follower of Mahatma Ghandhi, and said so. His son's family lives in the US, and they were also friendly and cordial. Any comments?

Where the pastor thinks rape victims ask for it, have low self esteem and they're nothing but harlots.

That it's the women's fault that if the guy falls for temptation, even when the woman does not ask for it and wears extremely modest clothes(shirts that go up toward her chin and the bottom part go past her hips. Pants that go past her ankles for example) and just minding her business. According to this pastor it's still her fault.

Why should someone be forced to go to this church with that kind of pastor when she made it clear how much she hates that pastor and how much she hates going?

even before reading the article, what religion(s) would you guess the perpetrator is? ... and would you be surprised to read it was some crazed atheist that carried out the deadly deed?

What does that tell you?

Do I have to be a parishner to get married in a specific church? I'm a member at my home church, but it is too far away from the reception hall I have my eyes on. I was interested in other Cath. churches in the area, but I heard you have to be a member of a church for at least a year before you get married. Is that true? Or does it depend?

animals. Fortunately, there are rarely any entries there, but why dignify the cruel sport by giving it a category? (And I don't think there should be an exception in countries that permit the cruel sport - that would be like allowing racism, etc. in countries that allow it.)

I am going to be doing work experience from the 23rd of June to the 4th of July next year and I want to write a letter to my local solicitors asking if they would be able to let me do work experience there. What I need to know is how do I end the letter and how would I start it? For example would yours faithfully be polite and would Dear sir or madam be polite? because I know there is a familiar way and a polite way

I am converting to Judaism and friends are throwing out bible verses to me regarding Jesus. How should I handle this from a Jewish perspective? They constantly want me to prove he is not messiah. Christianity just confused me. What comforts does Judaism give to the soul? they ask. Mitzvot, right? Thank you!
