Ok, I'm an American woman visiting Pakistan until December 4th. I've been here since October 8th and I'm still alive. I've gone out on a few occasions uncovered, red hair shining in the sun, due to some weddings I was invited to and because my former father in law said it was OK. In Quetta, same story. If Pakistan is supposed to be overrun by die-hard extremists and if that rumor of every American coming here gets killed is true, then why is it after over a month of being here and a lot of travelling various parts of the country, I'm still alive and never even received a dirty look? If what these people who wish for the death of every Muslim say is true, how is it that this American white skinned at times uncovered woman is still alive and her children are in great health? Could they be wrong as we have been saying all along? Could those who hate us be wrong that all want to kill Americans and that no place is safe? I think so, what about you?

Jehovah's Witnesses said on Monday they are concerned for the family of a young mother who died after giving birth to twins because her faith prevented her from accepting a blood transfusion

It is where the people drop in during the shower time specified on the invitation, enjoy the snacks, bring the gift and visit with the mother to be and other visitors without having to play the games some people don't care to play anyway. It makes sense but when invited, some have never heard of it.

How are we saved or justified with God? Is it by a mere legal act by which God declares the sinner to be meriting heaven even though he remains in fact unjust and sinful?

Is it a real eradication of sin, or just a covering or non-imputation? Is it an inner renewal and a real sanctification or only an external application of Christ’s righteousness?

Please state your church and teaching.

My neighbor sleeps with a loaded pistol. My 10yo son is friends with his kids. They are always running in and out of both of our houses. I just found out our neighbor, D, sleeps with a loaded pistol. I assume it's loaded because what good would a pistol be without bullets? D is a very good neighbor and I don't want him to feel embarrassed when I talk to him about it. I cannot allow my child to go to a house that keeps loaded weapons, let alone unsecured weapons.

How do I approach him in a neighborly way?

And for you Mother Bears out there, yes, I know it's my right to talk to him and it's my child's safety in question but I do NOT want this one issue to affect our good relationship. Their son is one of my son's best friends. We live in very close proximity to them (across the street).

It seems to me that that is the whole reason Cain killed his brother (he got jealous) Did God "want" Cain to kill Able? If so he shouldn't have punished him if he knew he would do it...

At my place of work, they have 3 part time workers (including me) and one full time worker- to divide 5 days amongst. Only one person works at a time. I think they chose to hire 3 PT people so they wouldn't have to provide FT benefits.

I know that as it is now, they don't have enough time for me to work more hours than I already have. However, I'd like to tell them that I am available for FT if they ever need me. I don't think they'd ever come to this conclusion themselves though, since if they don't want to give benefits, they'd just hire a new PT person. I don't need the benefits though, because my husband's job provides them. The people I work under are not managers- they own the facility. Therefore, I don't want to offend them by implying that they're cheap.

How can I tell them I don't need benefits without them thinking I'm assuming they're greedy? Also, what if I'm wrong and this isn't why they've chosen this route in the first place?

I wanted to become a nun for the longest time. God has shown me signs that he wanted me to become a nun. Shown me that is the path to take. Then I found someone I love and now going out with this person. I feel like I am hurting God. He has shown me so much that the path to religious life was the way to go and now I don't know.

Hello this is James from the BBC World Service interactive discussion show "World Have Your Say".

Today: A young mother has died just hours after giving birth to twins -- after she refused a blood transfusion. She was a Jehovah's Witness. For her, accepting a transfusion would have been a sin.

Emma Gough from Telford in the UK was just 22, and gave birth to a boy and a girl. She leaves a husband and her two twins.

Jehovah Witness spokespeople say individuals make their own decisions about what treatments they're prepared to have in hospital and that all individuals have the right to refuse treatment.

This of course raises huge ethical dilemmas for doctors. Does it go against their Hippocratic oath?

Ultimately - in sitautions like this - it's a choice of faith vs life.

A lot of recent movies (not documentaries) depict Jesus as a white guy with a grown beard. Because of 9/11, anti Middle Eastern sentiments have increased....But have you ever stopped to think..?
Jesus of NAZARETH was born in BETHLEHEM. If you read the Bible he was clearly in conflict with ROMAN officials and priests. I'm asking this question as an aethiest, but have you ever though that maybe Jesus was from the Middle East himself? To some of who like to dub the Middle Eastern area of the globe as the "Circle of Evil", can you accept that Jesus possibly had similar roots to those you hate?
I'm not saying that all Christians are Middle Eastern or Muslim haters, but I want to see a perspective on someone who does view the Middle East as an enemy.
