I just read a christian's question, if she should watch a movie because it has 10 bad words in it. Many answers were "do not watch it!"

I think everyone is hearing bad words in every day life and there is no way to avoid it while living in a society and not isolated. And I don't think it does any harm hearing some words (especially since someone like her is most likely to never use them anyway).

What do you think about it?

I saw a butterfly trapped in a spider's web,fluttering for its life.I broke the cobweb and it fell to the ground,still with the spider on top of it.

I flicked the spider off,then the butterfly's middle part raised up like a caterpillar and twitched horribly.Its wings were flapping furiously and I thought to myself that I should kill it to put it out of its suffering,but I just couldn't do it.

It was a horrible thing to watch,should I have killed it?
Isn't it wrong to kill?


What would you have done?

I am doing a research paper on implementing Medicaid Waivers for seniors so they can live at home and receive long-term care at home instead of being in a nursing home in the state of Pennsylvania.

If you are a senior, I'd love to hear your thoughts. A state, first name, and an Age would also be incredible so I can use direct quotes.

I know they do this in a few other states (i.e. Vermont) if you are not necessarily a senior but have experienced the waiver program with a parent, grandparent, etc. I am also interested in your thoughts.

Thank you so much for your time! I know there must be a few seniors out there using the internet somewhere!

I'm 23 and invited to my cousins for thanksgiving, he always has me sleep on a box like sofa with an open door, everyone walks by and stares at me.
Then his wifes family i dont get along with, their rude and drink too much.
I prefer to have thanksgiving dinner, take sightseeing alone, then sleep in my hotel and leave in the morning,
is this ok?
I told my cousin my plans, he was hysterical and insisted i sleep at his house, he forced me for one hour on the phone that i must sleep at his house, i explained how uncomfortable it is, he says its only one night.
i persisted i didnt want to, he hung up the phone on me,
i called him back and in a low voice he said go stay at the hotel.
im also driving 5 hours.
should i cancel all together since hes so rude?

To be quite honest with you I have come across a few Catholics who I am not too crazy about and in my opinion they need to back off and stop being all up in my face. All I am doing is trying to understand the religion more but to be hionest I am starting to like some Protestants better then some Catholics and am thinking about becoming a Protestant instead.

this is to go along with the god question i posted earlier.

since i have found myself believing in God but not the bible.

do you think more education specifically on theological stuff such as biblical events would make you belief less or more in the bible and the man Jesus??

in 1984 or so, the first case of HIV and other STDs was reported in the US. if everyone in the world DID NOT have sex before marraige, thesee STDs would never spread, right?

and isnt this, combine with many other scientific facts in the Quran, proof tht Islam is the truth? i kno the bible does the same thing, so now either Islam could be the truth OR Christianity. but refer to the folllowing:

1- Mohammad saw was illiterate.
2- thus, he couldnt have written the Quran.
3- he DID NOT plagerize the Bible becuase he didnt write the Quran and it is in many aspects much different from the Quran.

the above eliminates Christianity as a choice for the true religion. so after reading all this, isnt it easily concludable that Islam is the truth?

They didn't really accept that Jesus could save them, did they?

Did this catch God by susprise? Had he been assuming that they would really love the Jesus he was sending them?

Was he peeved, annoyed, irritated or what?

It put a kink in his aganda, didn't it? For thousands of years he had been mentoring a chosen people, and when the big culmination came to pass, they didn't like his messiah.

Oh well, give it to the Gentiles, see what they can do with it.

I'm a professional model and I chose to be a virgin because I want to give my husband my virginity and not any other man. Before any of you men say that virgins are inexperienced its untrue because at my Catholic School they teach us(the girls) on how to please a man from oral and onward. I've had boyfriends but they've tried to take my virginity or do other things with me sexually which is wrong. Men seem very intimidated by me and that makes me sad because I'm a nice girl but that doesn't mean that I am a push over. I just turned 18 and will be going to a good University. The girls at my Catholic School are all virgins and are very attractive! The teachers of the school even go searching for beautiful pure virgins at a young age and put them in the school with their parents permission. All you guys out there looking for a good virgin woman that is drop dead gorgeous, knows how to cook, be a good mother, is so sexually taught that she knows Karma Sutra, and is educated...

I like this girl but she is bisexual and also she has a boyfriend. She says she really likes me and that i'm the only girl she has ever really liked. I like her but I don't want to take it further so I can prevent from being hurt. She wants to have a boyfriend and girlfriend because she says as being with a girl is nothing. But her boyfriend doesn't want her to have a girlfriend while she is with him. I'm confused on the whole thing. What should I do ..?

STOP!!! BEFORE YOU ANSWER CONSIDER THIS;
Mormans, J.W.s, Catholics and a slew of others like those of the James Town deaths.
Not to mention the leaders of the church I use to attend who insisted on a certain interpretation of the scriptures,and eventualy destroyed the whole body, which no longer exists.

My Direct Deposit Paycheck showed up 3 days early!!!

Could this be considered a Miracle? I only had 17 dollars in my account and my Rent is due in 2 days time. Now i can pay my Rent on time. Do you think this could be a Miracle? I did not pray for it, but it happened.
