Please, we want to make a kiddush Hashem, not a chillul Hashem. Let's all try to do that even though it can be very hard sometimes. Just reminding you...

I just have this natural hatred .... if I meet someone it usually takes me a while to actually like them. I miss the old me....... I'm cold a bitter now. I'm judgemental too.










P.S sometimes I just get hateful towards the holy spirit and say everything nasty against him...... I'm sick of this I want it dwelling in me again.














I'm growing impatient.






The other night I was in bed I was sooo intoxicated I was getting scared I asked God to help I felt calm once I done that but then I felt something angering coming over me and told me I am not his child. I almost took a heart attack until I asked for mercy. So scared right now.








I'm worst than the pharisees.








I walked away from the faith and I can't get it back?

How did we start giving gifts for Christmas? I know the wise men brought gifts and Jesus' birth is a gift but how did we go from that to giving everyone we know presents? It seems like commercialism left religous significance behind along time ago.

I see so many answers saying God is this "mean God" going to "Burn us if we don't turn to him".......can't you see we are going to burn because man has wrecked the earth and REFUSED to seek God or do things God's way? there is no moderation there is just greed. We are wrecking the earth.....it's going to burn and God did not do it. He just predicted it would happen.

So people just don't spam the system with thumbs up or thumbs down for no reason?

And you can see why your answer was good or bad?

Especially in Religion and Spirituality.

Something like Harry and David, or Land's End, or Radio Shack, etc would be fine.

Why do people get so hung up on what they are getting/giving for Christmas? People ought to cherish the friends and family around them instead of making presents the central point of the Christmas season.

She said she is too busy. She said, "please, please don't come home for Christmas" after I said "I'll be home for Christmas." What would you do? Should I be a little sad? Should I be angry? Or is this a little funny because my family is so abnormal? And how meaningful are the holidays really? Is it just like any other day for some, plus for how many do you think it is just another day? In my family, there is Mom and Grandma, they live together. I am in California and Mom is in Michigan. I do not have much communication with Dad. I didn't see Mom last Christmas either, nor for Thanksgivings. I last went back in July. Thanks.

the "evidence" the creationists put forth to support creation is exactly the same as the evidence they were putting out in the 50's and 60's???? The only real change they have made is to the name of their "theory." Now they call it intelligent design rather than creation.

I see women in work (business) settings showing more skin than every before. I think they look skanky and for sure they won't get ahead or win any promotions. What's the deal, people? Why the skankdom?

my new pastor told me that Hell is NOT real, because soul can not feel pain from fire, its just a permenant disconnection from God, which cause permenant depression, so instead of a burned body bad people become depressed soul, is that right?

OK, so I was talking with my cousin on the phone the other night and I heard her soon-to-be-husband saying something in the background behind her and then she said to me "oh, 'sam' (her soon to be hubby) wants you to know that his mother just LOVES you". I didn't know what to say since I've only met this woman 3 or 4 times in my life. I said "um haha, tell him I love his mom too(she really is a very sweet old lady)" and she did. Today she informs me that she is annoyed because his mom doesn't like her very much and she apparently "loves" me and she's kinda been taking it out on me since then. I don't know what to say. Did I say something wrong? Why is she acting like this? She declined my dinner invitation and has been very short with me.

Did you know that in some places in the world around the ages of elevn and 12 young women beggin the education of marriage, sex and procriation? There are discussions about child birth, and about the nature of how to prepare for it, how to please a spouse. The concept of virginity varies from place to place, like in some tribes in Africa, both women and men are expected to remain celibate till marriage. For women in many tribes, the final aspect of initiation into marriage is a controversial one. Upon reaching the age of woman hood a girl has to go under a PAINFULL procedure, known as a clitoredectomy, in which the clitoris is removed. In times ago, this was like a pre-requisit for marriage. The belief was that it would make them whole women, that it would increase their chances of fertility, it won't dull your sexual appetite... What are your feeling about it? Some tribe still do it!

I need help writing a paper about this, ...Do they usually sit down or stand?, is there a priest?, do they perform any rituals? sing songs?, dance?, pray?, listen to a lecture? In America, would everything be said in Sanskrit? or some english? If you are a practicing Hindu or have attended services, I would love to hear about your experience, it would be really helpful :)

I have a friend who is pretty large--about 350-400lbs. And she is such a sweet heart, you would not believe. So she is going to Las Vegas from Maui and I asked her if I gave her money, can she pick up some panties from Victoria Secret for me since we do not have them in Maui.
She told me she would not because the last time she did, she almost broke down in tears. She was buying size small and medium panties for her friends and the cashier laughed at her and said,"Uh, I REALLY don't think these are gonna fit you, honey!" Is that not so rude!?!
