I have already looked on the Salvation Army website and can't find a directory. If I've just missed it, a link would be great. I've heard they are at Wal-Marts but there is not a Wal-Mart in my area. Thank you.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported in September that more than 1.4 million murders, rapes, robberies and assaults were committed around the United States last year, or a violent crime every 22 seconds.

The number of victims of violent crime in the United States last year was the equivalent of the entire population of European Union member Estonia or the African state of Gabon falling victim to murder, rape, robbery or assault.

The rate of violent crime was up by 1.9 percent compared with 2005, with murders climbing by 1.8 percent to nearly 15,000 cases last year. - AFP/de

This sounds superficial but my boyfriend wants to name a star after me for christmas but even though it is a sentimental gift I would expect something else how would I give this hint of something I wanted such as perfume,jewlery etc. Please do not respond if you think I am ungrateful and unromantic beause I am far from it.

Everyone in my school asks everyone they see for there myspace, nexopis, and my space. If someone in my school finds out my email, they email me asking me to add them on my space. I tell them I don't have it, they ask why, and I say i'm not allowed on it. They lol, and walk, and never talk to me again. I thought I was a loner cause my hairs too long cause the popular group says they'd let me in if I cut it. And even they ask for my facebook, nexopia, and myspace. So what is it? My hair, or my mom won't let me on my space? Or both? Do you think it's geeky to not have myspace?

Matthew 24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?"

You believe the "faithful and discreet slave" (notice the singular form of "slave" here) is a small and humble group of anointed men in Brooklyn New York.

DID YOU KNOW? According to Watchtower Dogma, most JWs do not know that the faithful and discreet slave actually make up the entire anointed remnant of 144,000, and only eight to ten of these anointed ones are chosen for the Governing Body.

Back to the matter, you believe the "faithful and discreet" recieve their information straight from Jehovah. So my question is this...Is Jehovah always wrong? Shouldn't the light that comes from Jehovah always be right? If the information comes from Jehovah, you should never have to have "new light". Did you know that JWs celebrated Christmas for decades before claiming it was "pagan"?

OK.. so what did they have that we don't have? Demographics show that we are living longer and we put that down to better hygeine and health and less manual labour.... or sommat... but seems in the bible what with famine, and plagues and being flogged and stoned for an assortment of minor misdemeaners.. those old bastards described in the bible lived for like .... hundreds of years!

So what's so special about them ol' timers and those times? Has no-one been worthy of a couple a hundred years of age over the last couple of thousand years of recorded history?

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.

"Why of course," comes the reply.
The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."

"Of Course," replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply.

"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."

"Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"

"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

FOR IT TO BE PROVE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

2007-12-05 11:02:20 · 27 answers · asked by singer4lifee 1 in Religion & Spirituality

I don't know how to tell these people that I am not interested in their parties, social gatherings. I have friends of my own that I feel comfortable around and that I hang out with. They think that my life revolves around them. If I a not interested they think I am being a *****, or think that I am better, or they turn the situation around saying that I am no good for their group. They find it offensive. I don't know what to do or say. We just don't share the same interests. It's been a long time and there is still conflict between me and these people. Even when I say that I am here for my education, they say that I am anti social and they end up spreading rumors about me. How can I say that they are not my crowd in a nice way. How can I distract them. I'd like it if all of us got along, but we are just different.

How do all of you second amendment enthusiasts respond to stories like this? Are you foolish enough to believe that if so-called "law-abiding" citizens carried guns, that would prevent these events from happening? I'll tell you what would happen instead: people would pull out their weapons willy-nilly and cause far more deaths. Or, in a more typical situation, two hot-heads would confront each other with weapons with fatal results (including innocent bystanders) instead of just hurt feelings. Have you ever ridden on a crowded subway in a large city where people, after a hard days work, are pushing and shoving? Would you really feel safe if those same people all had guns in their pockets?

This is madness.

That is what the ancients used to think. Cant you see the fallacy in attributing a natural process to the supernatural? Where did life come from? Why assume God did it? Why not assume it was a natural process like everything else?

I have asked before many times not just here on yahoo answers that if a person is born and never learns about Jesus, his teachings or the Gospel do they go to Hell? 90% of the answers i recieved is no they wouldent, they would go to heaven. Because they cant help the fact no one tought them the TRUTH. So wouldent it be a wise idea to stop teaching all future generations about christainity so they all get to go to heaven. Think about it! We would be saving the rest of mankind from going to Hell!

I've been seeing a lot of responses in this category about faith and being gullible. Since when does believing in G-d make me gullible. Since when does knowing that someone greater then anything I can ever imagine loves me and accepts me no matter what, makes me an idiot.
I don't believe in G-d because other people tell me to, or because I feel I might go to Hell (because I don't believe in Hell)
I believe in G-d because, he's real. I can't prove it. But I know it myself. Honestly truly deep down in my heart He loves me. and i'm not childish for thinking that way.

So religion is meant to be about peace but yet sparks off one of the most heated arguments.
So lets settle this. This question unlike any other is not gonna be biased to one side.
Please for the sake of being open minded dont answer to this unless you have bothered to read this article -- http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/10/1018_041018_science_religion.html
I find it immensely interesting and definately sparks off a different way of thinking. And no this is not some lame article suggesting that you should convert to a certain religion and changing anothers ways of thinking nor is it one which tries to disprove all of the words of religion with supposed scientic evidance.
So as i say, please try to read this before answering. No bashing or arguments or poking fun for the sake of keeping the peace. I understand people have their own opinions on the issue but unfortunately these opinions tend to make people from each side rather cocky.

I mean after having kids (maybe) and it being hard, and no more alone time. Or finding out that Jesus is the only answer to fill a void that family cant even do. Or just knowing that the struggles in life are so great, its best to stay single and stay as firmly rooted in the word as the Bible states. And still enjoy people and life?
