Society & Culture - 23 October 2007

Their behaviour, over the past weekend, a twenty four hour drinking binge, was nothing out of the ordinary. They used as their excuse the fact that England had lost the Rugby world cup and they were drowning their sorrows. Are they not just a couple of priveleged, pampered louts, drunken oafs. How many true England rugby fans would have been allowed to do as they had, despite the fact that many of them paid extorniate prices for their tickets. Considering that these two represent the supposedly highest family in the land, can't their behaviour be construed as absolutely disgusting? It is nothing new to hear of one of the other of them rolling, drunk, out of nightclubs weekend after weekend. The anti-monarchists must be laughing up their sleeves at the antics of these two pampered yobs. Regardless of whether you are for or against the royal family and what it stands for, what do you think about these two and the way they behave?

Do you agree that more money needs to be invested in social programmes for day care, after school, finacial and parenting support as well as more funds put into the foster care and adoption system?

Or do you care for the fetus but not the child after its born?

I ask because so many people I meet who are pro-life are very much against more funding for these programmes. It's almost like they think,

"You should have kept your legs closed until marriage and if you didn't then you DESERVE to be punished with hardship."

But doesn't that attitude that Children = Hardship, only encourage MORE abortions? Isn't it counter productive?

what would you do if you were making salat over your friend's house and you told them that you have to pray and they start asking some questions about why this and why that and also what would you do if your friend who had totally disrespect you while you were making salat because you told them that you cannot pray with images, tv on, or loud talking or if they hit your butt while you were bowing down to the floor? how would it feel if you teach them a lesson if they won't do it again next time? Should you make their life a living hell or should you cuss them out or check them because they disrespect you and allah?

In other words. Is it a sin to celebrate Halloween ?
Back in the mid 80's my mom would buy me masks
and stuff like that. Being from a Pentacostal family,
now they have changed the rules, since 2000.
And have more knowledge about this Pagan holiday.
And the effects it has on society, and the meaning
behind it all. But we still pass out candy to kids, of
course..... But no masks for the church children, or
other members for that matter. Is this right, or just a
big misunderstanding ? Is Halloween a sin ? Best
asnwer wins.

What was happening to the people in Africa, the Americas, Asia? Christians say that their religion is the true religion why is there no mention of these people? Did God not speak to them as he did to the people of the middle east? Or was it because Constantine and the counsil of Niscea had no knowledge of them to include in their book?

Sura 5
(105) O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest - two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. Ye shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if ye doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah...

When I do things that are "un-worldly" and feel chills go up and down my spine then I feel like that feeling (Holy Spirit?) came not from this world but from some higher power (God?)

** "unworldly" like forgive someone that hurts me. Or lately, even pray for the good health and happiness of those who have unfairly reported me, and or those who have caused my last few accounts to be suspended. --- When I love them (the report monkeys) that is what I mean by doing something "unworldly" (most people of the world would not normally love such people) --

And when I do these things and get a wonderful pleasurable feeling going up and down my spine, then I feel there is a higher power ; not of this world, but from a place most people call Heaven.

I have some problem doing meditation in the seated posture on the ground...padmasana or ardha padmasana because it hurts my lower back somewhat & also I have slight pain in the right upper thigh. So can I do meditation sitting on a chair ...I have been shown a posture how to do it. ?? As long as I keep my back straight & I am being able to concentrate I hope its OK. What (object or whatever) do u people concentrate on while doing meditation & also do u keep ur eyes open or slightly closed ? I am asking the slightly advanced people in meditation.
Thanks

Doesn't that seem counterproductive to be hostile to a woman who is raising a child alone and who probably needs help and support? I mean, if you care about the experience of the child, why would you do this? Hurt the parent...hurt the child. Does this still occur in our culture because of religious views? Why are so many of the fathers getting off the hook form the scorn and judgement? Is this all just another symptom of a patriarchal culture? Don't you agree that it takes a village to raise a child to be a healthy, well adjusted human being?

But what about what He is doing right now in His heavenly ministry.
Please share using scripture what the Lord is currently doing in His heavenly ministry. How is He carrying out all that He has laboured to establish while in His earthly ministry.
How can we as believers and members of this Ascended Christ's Body work along with Him, coordinate and cooperate with Him in carrying out His purpose on the earth?

Ty for talking the time and energy to put forward your answers everyone:)

I have just found out that I can move things with my mind! Its a weird feeling! Is there anyone else that can do it? I always thought I was a little psychic but, this is new to me. What would one call this type of thing? Oh and does anyone else know of any online website I can visit to find out more about this type of thing?
