This Commandment is very hard in this day and age, with abusive parents, for instance my husbands parents and siblings have caused a lot of problems for us since we have been married because I am a Catholic and they do not like Catholics, and now he is converting to Catholicism, which they blame me, I am not forcing him, he feels happier in the church and realises that Catholics do not condemn other Religions

He is finding it hard to honor his parents and wants to disown them, is this breaking Gods Commandment?

Mine is the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:11. He knew all the drama and fire and brimstone was not God, but when he heard the gentle whisper, he immediately recognized God's voice and went out to talk with Him.

I think very often that drama and talk of hellfire and calamities and signs of armegeddon are just that: talk from people who can't tell the difference between God's voice and their own need to be scandalized.

Most of the times the gentle whisper of a breeze is God's true voice.

tell me what you think of the role the drill instructor, his comments in the dialogue, whether or not you laughed at any of it.

Christians, please do not answer. I'm testing a theory here. Don't muddy it up, please.

2 Nephi 29: 2 And also, that I may remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father, that I would remember your seed; and that the words of your seed should proceed forth out of my mouth unto your seed; and my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel;
3 And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.
4 But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people. And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean? Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

Imagine if you will that a number of years ago you were tissue typed because a person you knew needed a bone marrow transplant. You were not a match.

Now fast forward five or six years: You receive a letter from a hospital that you are a tissue match for someone who needs a kidney. Now the person will not die any time soon if they don’t get your kidney (they are currently on dialysis) but your kidney will greatly improve the quality of their life.

Note: The loss of a kidney has not been shown to shorten ones life span. However the operation is a tad painful and there is some recuperation time involved. Furthermore there is no financial incentive for donating the kidney. They don’t pay you anything but it doesn’t cost you anything either except for lost work.

What would you do?

Am I in some way a bad person because of the infidelity of another (something I had no control over)?

Would I in some way be a bad person if I fall in love again after the divorce (which, again, I had no control over)?

Thanks guys for making me feel welcome. I'll probably have several questions in the future. I appreciate all input.

My girlfriend (of 5 years) has a twin bro who is gay. Being twins they are VERY close. Naturally he is around all the time. In an attempt to make this short I'll just say, if I didn't have a brother myself the gf's bro would be my best man in our wedding. He has become a brother to me. Here is the question.
When we go out to straight bars should I be protective? Should I let him deal with ******* himself? I'm quick to come to his defense. I'll tell you what sparked this question. Just recently at a club, not more than 10 minutes after we walk in, I hear a guy behind me say, " Are you a fa99ot?" I turned around so fast I almost made the guy jump. I put my arm around the gf's bro and asked the guy if he was hitting on my boyfriend. I did it without even thinking about it. The night went on and the situation wasn't mentioned. ** Heck! No more space, wait for edit*

This Halloween I'd like to be a ragdoll, but I have no idea how to go about doing it. The ragdoll costumes in the stores are expensive, so I'd like to make it.

If you have or know how to put together this costume, leave a step by step guide.

My budget is under $25, so please keep that in mind, and I don't mind using old clothes.

Thanks!

What are nice ways of saying to someone "that's none of your business"? I'm always asked my age like they think it's okay to ask a grown woman her age. I know that me having a tiny child like voice (or high pitched) really doesn't helpe me at all but I really need help on this. Just now, some telemarketer called and I mistakenly answered because I thought it was family calling. I usually don't answer, but anyway, she asked me how old I was bluntly before she got on to say anything! She didn't even say how are you or hi I am so and so from this company! Nothing! Just said "how old are you?" How rude and weird first of all! Anyway, what are some nice things I could do? I just wanted to hang up and not speak to her but for some reason I didn't and I was even polite to her saying that I wasn't interest in taking the survey. Why are some people just so tactless!

Note: this wasn't the first time I got asked about my age in front of my face ( a friend's relative did this). And I know it's

A freind told me that the reason why many men like mexican women is because they look younger and or look like adolescents because of their facial features and short stature. I am a freshman in high school and my girlfriend is an immagrint from Gautamala and she looks much young than she actually is and is shorter than me.
