On a recent trip to Texas my truck started bogging down, I couldn't get any speed and everytime I attempted to climb a hill the max speed I could get was like 30 miles an hour.
I finally pulled into a auto parts store and asked them to put the diagnostics machine on. They gave me several very expensive diagnosis. Having recently done a little work on the truck, their diagnostics didn't sound true.
I called my Brother who owns a trucking company in Houston. After explaining what was going on, he agreed with me.
He informed me that there was alot of bad gas out there, he felt like it was the fuel filter.
Now this fuel filter is under the truck, right under the drivers seat. It is an inline filter and cost a whopping $7.50. There is also a little package of clamps that the parts house sells for another $7.00, you have to clamp these little pac man type clamps on the nipples of the inline filter, to get the old on off.
(more to come)

Where is he? He's been missing for some time now.
Do you think he may speak out against Scientology? Wouldn't that hurt Scientology! Since he knows the real story behind so much of the church's practices.

if you can be married in heaven?.....just sit and ask if it WAS possible to have my bride in heaven. Do you even care? I have to look at your souls, and hear you say to me that there is no need for us in heaven. Once we are done serving God with each other(breeding) he has no further use with us and we don't care anyway, because there is going to be something better then this thing in heaven.......say this to each other, eye to eye.....there is going to be somthing better then you in heaven. How does it feel? God promised my soul that I will be married in heaven, and have the joys of Jesus. Because I asked him.....

do you even love him or her, to even sit with God the father in prayer and ask for heaven? or do you just want to get rid of her or him??


I know what the bible says, and it talks different to me....all your answers, I have this spirit that shows me this way of seeing them and it shows marriage in heaven.

My husbands uncle just passed. I need to write a letter to my husbands aunt and cousin. I meet them a couple years ago when they came to the states to visit for a couple weeks he was really a very good hearted man from what I have witnessed and heard. He left a everlasting impression on all of our families children as well. He was very funny and a joy to be around. Ofcourse losing a family member must be very difficult. Absolutly heart breaking. However I don't think it would be a proper thing to say to them. I also really don't believe that would be anything they would like to hear either. I'm not a very comforting person. I happen to be too blunt and when I'm confused or nervous I tend to ramble on. See take what you have read so far for an example. So does anyone have any suggestions or examples of how I should write the letter and what I should say. My husband is even worse off than I am. He lost his sister recently and still has not dealt with it. He asked me to write it for him.

i am a muslim. i am also an american. i am also a good person.
but when people realize ur muslim they dont care if u are a good person they just think oh ur a terrorist.
in my political science class we talked about hitler and WWII. Hitler used the jews as a scapegoat and convinced the germans that THEY WERE THE REASONS TO ALL THE PROBLEMS GERMANY HAD.
sounds oh so familiar to me. just as we muslims are being blamed for all the problems in the world. why????
you can do as much research on islam as u want and say that its not a peaceful religion BUT unless u have been raised as a muslim you will not know the true teachings. i am a good person and i know many muslims who are. so why is everyone blaming us? whyyy????????/
WHY IS IT ALWAYS ANOTHER FAITH? when will christians be targeted? why are u blaming us just as germany blamed the jews? and WHY didnt you learn from those mistakes.

Which is more rude, hitting your teeth with your fork while eating -- or -- reacting to it by being squeemish and declaring how much you hate it when someone does that?

I feel like I'm insane because i can't stop thinking about it. I feel even more crazy because nobody else seems to be freaking out with me. How could people not find this the most important thing about life? Do (many) religions really supply you with enough blind faith to make you not wonder? Do people really just not care? I don't see how "it is going to happen so why think about it, just live you life to the fullest" etc. is reasonable at all. Do you think that we just shut off like a light and have no more consciousness? If so, how can you live to better mankind? Live good while you are here? Why? Somebody, anybody, tell me what you think. more importantly please tell me why you think that way.

I believe that the majority of athiests are high level thinking, intelligent people. Im not saying that religious people are dumb, im saying that many 'dumb' people are religious. Is this valid?

My husband and I were asleep and our dog was sleeping in the living room. Our small town was being robbed on and off for about a month. What they would do is cruise the neighborhood looking for bicycles. They stole the bicycles for the heist. In the middle of the night they rode up, came in through the side garage door and took things from the garage and hid them in the bushes between the houses. We were lucky, sometimes they filled the family car with stuff and stole the car, too! Through the garage they came into the kitchen. My purse was on the table and my husbands wallet was on the counter. When they started to walk into the living room, the dog woke up and scared them off. We found my purse after we went to the DMV and canceled all the credit cards. It turned out to be a big gang of identity crooks with a notebook full of information. I was in there, too, Now we double check all the doorlocks every night and our dog is always ready for the bad guys!

I married 3 months ago and was fooled by a con man. Not only was he a con-he was an alcoholic that started abusing me within a week of our marriage. He quit working, wanted me to support him. Our whole marriage was a lie---I found out I'm wife # 7 and when I told him I knew he left me, disconnected his phones and relocated to another state. Apparently he has done this over and over for years. I contacted him via email and he has filed for a divorce but I worry aboutthe Biblical aspect of the situation. Am I forgiven?

I attented a job fair last week at a hospital I really want to work at. I talked to a unit director who said he would like to have me on his unit as a nurse, and he took down my name and information and said for me to apply online, and he would look up my application. He also gave me his business card with contact information. I did apply online and have not heard from him within the week. I have a job offer from another hospital that I need to take if I will not be able to get on with this guy, even though it is not my first choice. Have I allowed enough time for him to contact me? Would it be appropriate for me to call him at this time? If so, what should I say without making him feel I am rushing and pushing him, etc?? Thanks!

Matthew 24 shares on the Parable of 10 virgins.
5 wise 5 foolish.
All these were espoused to the Bridegroom Christ.
They each had the Lamp with their vessels.
We know that the spirit of a man is a Lamp unto Jehovah. That man is created as a precious vessel to contain God.
We also know that the Oil typifies the Holy Spirit.

1. What does it mean to have the " extra oil' in the lamp WITH the vessels.
The difference between the foolish and the wise was the extra oil in the vessels.

2. How do you believe these 5 wise virgins were able to obtain the extra oil?

Ty for all the detailed answers to this question.

In Christ

Into our town the hangman came,
smelling of gold and blood and flame.
He paced our bricks with a different air,
and built his frame on the courthouse square.

The scaffold stood by the courthouse side,
only as wide as the door was wide
with a frame as tall, or a little more,
than the capping sill of the courthouse door.

And we wondered whenever we had the time,
Who the criminal? What the crime?
The hangman judged with the yellow twist
of knotted hemp in his busy fist.

And innocent though we were with dread,
we passed those eyes of buckshot lead.
Till one cried, "Hangman, who is he,
for whom you raised the gallows-tree?"

Then a twinkle grew in his buckshot eye
and he gave a riddle instead of reply.
"He who serves me best," said he
"Shall earn the rope on the gallows-tree."

And he stepped down and laid his hand
on a man who came from another land.
And we breathed again, for anothers grief
at the hangmans hand, was our relief.

Someone told me once that sex is made for reproduction. If so should a man or woman who is unable to concieve a child be able to have sex? This was my answer to someone who told me their reason for being against homosexuality was because sex is for reproduction. And isn't sex seen also as something spiritual? A sign of love, or passion? If everybody saw sex just as reproduction, then marriage and sex wouldn't really mean anything, would it? What does sex mean without love? I think that even if a man or woman can not concieve they should be able to have sex. I don't think sex is just for reproduction. It's about love. It's the same thing with everybody, no matter what sexuality.
