If you do a lot of community/volunteer service in high school, will it do something if colege universities are looking in your academics paper? Will it help you get into the university or is community service just for NHS members?

Its all over you tube from sources such as CNN and BBC.

Is this true, or a lie or what? Do elders do anything possible to protect the organization more than the people or what?

I was just to become a JW and now I saw this and Im so disturbed.

How many lives were harmed as a result of the actions of people like Larry Craig and Ted Haggard....people who cannot accept themselves the way they were created, which is gay....people who are so weak in spirit and mind, that they give into societal pressures to pretend to be something they are not.

Wouldn't their lives be a lot more joyful, and wouldn't fewer people have been hurt, if we just let people be who they are?

Why do we try to force our religious dogma/views onto others, when it may not be another's accepted belief? What gives us the right to force our beliefs into law in matters that are personal and have no affect on others?

I often hear Christians saying... well... God allowed that so that such-n-such would happen...

Why would an all-powerful all-knowing God not use good in order to accomplish his goals... Wouldn't it be Satan that's using evil or destructive means?

I was commenting to another Christian that if I had a time machine, I'd like to wander back to that time, take a little time to learn the local language, and listen to the sermon on the mound and see other events from Jesus' life. My freind acted like I was speaking blasphemy, but didn't go into detail and changed the subject. How do you feel about that?

the b^tch deserved. this story is kinda long,
but oh wells.

I'm in senior year in highschool, and i wanted to have fun in camp that we were going to. Im not really a camp person. so my 3 friends r in one cabin, and then we have these 2 pathetic losers that no one likes. Don't get me wrong, we weren't completley mean to them, only like 88% of the time. One has like 50 FFUUCCCCIng zits in her face, and she has like such orange hair, and she smells bad and she's somewhat fat. The otherone has a talking problem, and she like is sooo annoying. She talks to herself.
Anyway, just to have fun, we had a party one night, and our other friends were at the other room across, so we partied at their room. It was like 4:08 in the morning, and we were supposed to be a sleep. We woke each other up, Except the nerds. and we partied. We had a couple drinks. Then the nerds woke up and decided to rat us out, after trying to scare us. They turned off the lights, and i don't know how the hell

My friends and family and I all have almost no bucks for Christmas this year. My family are all volunteering at each other's charity causes. But what to do about my friends? Is it still okay to bake cookies, make Baileys and fudge and stuff or is that too old fashioned?

I live in a council house which I bought myselve. I live on a council estate but don't live off the government. Many of my neighbours are very good and helpful and I wouldn't class them as chavs. So why do people always seem to generalise about those who live on council estates?

Premillennialism teaches that there will be a future, literal, earthly millennial kingdom, and that it will begin when Christ returns. The pre- indicates that Christ will return before the millennial kingdom is established. This is the literal 1000 year reign that I would say most protestants hold.

Amillennialism teaches that there will be no literal millennial kingdom. The prefix a- indicates a simple negation. They believe that we are living Christ's reign, and thus the millenium is essentially spiritual.

Postmillennialism teaches that Christ will return after (post-) the millennial kingdom concludes. They believe that the world will become more and more Christian and that the 1000 year reign will be ushered in by the world getting better and better until it is Christ's reign.
