A very nice JW yesterday answered to me, "It's because we're thankful everyday." Okay, cute and succinct. I'm thankful every second I'm alive, but that doesn't mean I can't "remember" the sacrifices of our founding fathers and have a meal in their memory. Can a JW please explain this to me? I am asking sincerely.

To non-JW's: Please NO JW bashing.............

Is a tithe still "a tithe" if you offer the money to charity vs. a church?

What do you think about the state of the world today? Does your instinct tell you that it's all building up to something? Perhaps the end of the world as we know it?

Obviously, us Christian "fundies" believe that we are living in the "last days", just prior to the return of Christ to judge the world, based upon things we see taking place on earth which match up with Bible prophecy. I appreciate that you don't share that view, but what are your thoughts, anyway?

Is there a "bad moon rising"?

Thanks in advance for all sincere, polite replies. May God bless you. x

Her husband was murdered in The Phillipines but she has a fortune she needs to get out of the country. If I help her she will give me 15%.
I really feel I couldn't take so much from a woman who has suffered so much.
What would be a fair commission?

Presumable for religious reasons, but different approaches are welcome here, as well.

Whether you go out to protest, agree with others, write papers, talk to children about why gay marriage is bad ... you are not always quiet about your views and leave others be.

After you have read this, can you please give me one single reason for why you still believe you should actively go against gay marriage, be it in form of words (spoken or written) or deeds?

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

I know Atheists dont celebrate x'mas but do they still give or recieve x'mas presents from relatives? I have just recently declared myself an atheist and I know all my relatives have gotten me a present, so what do I do? Just give it back?
Or can we still exchange gifts??

If he never forgives, he is just, but not merciful. If he forgives, he is merciful but not just.

I think she is very interested, and maybe God is dealing with her. Does anyone know of a good book that can be used as a witnessing tool?
I always buy my friends books for Christmas.

I'm just hoping someone can help me understand this beyond my limited religious thinking (I'm being serious).

My sister and her family have come to visit and are staying with my parents. My brother-in-law is an atheist, my sister is agnostic. Both were raised LDS(Mormon) and were mormon until a little less than 2 years ago. My sister told my mom about a month ago that she would go to church with her while they were here. My mom made matching dresses from my sister's 3 girls and for my 2 girls. She was hoping to take pics and then just go to sacrament meeting, not the whole sunday services. My sister told her they were going yesterday. This morning, my brother-in-law said he didn't want his kids going to church because he thinks it will be too confusing for them to have gone in the past, quit going, and then to go today. His girls want to go show off their dresses, but their dad has said no. Right now there are hurt feelings on both sides. I'm looking for some perspective so that I

Maybe they should rethink their logic of not believing in something they can't see.

Why do you guys think that at the end times all the religions are going to fall but yours wont? and that only a small amount of people are going to Heaven. I am a Catholic and was just wondering. Please answer in a respectful and mature manor. I believe anyone who believes in The Almighty God will live in Eternal Peace.

I don't know what this means, but I think as a people we focus on the wrong stuff, and that we don't look to what is actually going on.

Read the websites and tell me what you think.
I don't know what percentage is true and what is just conspiracy theories.
