Seniors, especially those far from their families, do you feel isolated? afraid? I keep realizing how separated my social group (teen) is from senior citizens. And its sad, without knowledge and guidance to be shared outside direct family. How do you feel about it?

I remember my junior high years. They were so pissed about people hugging that they had to broadcast it on the morning tv show. They showed male and female teachers hugging each other with a big NO on the screen. Instead they showed us we should high five because hugging might lead to sex. Bullshit, it's junior high. What is wrong with our education? My old princaple sent out hall moniters to patrol each hallway to make sure nobody was hugging. If you hugged once, you got a detention. If you got caught twice, you were suspended. If you were caught for the third time the district would hold a meeting to decide whether you would get expelled and have to transfer schools or not. What are your views on the subject?

Like 666 points or 1666 points or 4666 points or 6660 points. Etc. Would you leave it on that point number, or would you do something to change the number before you logged off? Christianity, specifically, has a bit of an issue with 666.

I'm curious because I noticed my points yesterday (which didn't have those numbers in it) and got to thinking about what happened when I lived in Alaska. The driver's license numbers rolled into the 666000s and there was enough hew and outcry to have the state skip the 666000s and start with 667000.

I see this all the time and I can't help but laugh. I "know" the Christian god has never been a part of my life regardless of the begging that came before this realization. I have had people tell me "Well I just know hes with me". I am not doubting he is. But I "just know" he's not with me. How come it works one way but not the other?

Earlier I asked for any historical proof that the Catholic Church is not the Church created by Christ and the apostles. No one was able to come up with any historical proof, because it is the Church created by Christ and the apostles.

Remember if you believe that it did become apostate then Jesus was a liar and incompetent in His promises to the Church for the gates of Hell did prevail against His Church. I am especially interested in how the so called "restoration churches" justify their rejection of Christ's Church in view of Christ's promises to the Church..

Can I have you close your eyes or whatever and think about eternity? Think deeply about eternity. In heaven or in hell. If I think about it long enough it becomes kind of weird to think about. Kind of like its too much for my mind to comprehend. It never ends and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years is not even a pinch of it.
What do you think about ETERNITY?

I recently bought some clothes online and they just came in the mail. I tried on the jeans but they're a little tight, and the return policy says they can't accept "washed, worn, soiled, or altered" clothing. So since I tried on the jeans, does this mean I can't return them?

Alomost a month ago I was camping with a group of friends, we were sitting by the fire and it was almost 11 o'clock. I went to find more logs for the fire and as I searched the trail walking farther and farther from the campsite I hear footsteps not from an animal, but from what sounds like a person, thinking its a campmember I try to beat them to thechase and scare them, I hide behind a tree and when the footsteps were nearly 5 ft away I jump out just so be tackled by some sort of hairy beast, the light of the full moon shined on the both of us and suddenly he bit me right on the side abdomen and ran jsut as a cloud covered the moon and he was too far for me to catch so I jsut sat and fell asleep and when I awoke there was nothing but a pentagaram where the huge gash was, now the full moon is coming out, I feel hot, sweaty my clothes feel tight my head drowsy. What is happening? I rip open my shirt to find hair growing outrageously, my teeth curling over my mouth
look for more soon!

Why do people call the ground a floor? I wonder how they treat the floor inside their own home. The majority of the time I hear someone mix the two up, it's a minority saying it. Does it have something to do with culture or city based life?

this guy at the place i work asked me if i would be affended if he asked me a personal question. the he said "growing up with 2 gay brothers...." and at the end of a long explanation asked, "are you gay?" i told him i was bi and asked if it was because of the way i acted that he would ask me this. he said, "being around it your whole life you just kinda know."
this was all after he took his shirt off for me (which i did not ask him to do) and then sat right next to me.
now i want to know, even though he said he wasnt and dosent act it, do you guys think he may be gay and if not was he trying to test if i was by doing all the things he was doing?
i don't like him and can't see myself likeing him but if he is gay and likes me i would like to find out.
help me in finding out if you can and then it will be up to me to use the things you have said here in the real world.

My married daughter and I have to make up homemade Christmas treats to gift to about 50 people. Any ideas on something inexpensive and not too much work? i.e. plates of cookies would be considered too much work.

All the animals had come onto the Ark 2 by 2, and was foretold the rains started and the world was ovewhelmed by the floods of god.

Several weeks later one of Noah's sons was doing his rounds and saw that the Ark was sinking,

"Father, Father all those animals are crapping everywhere - the extra weight will surely sink the Ark"

"You're right son - get out the shovels and throw it all overboard"

They worked for 7 days and 7 nights, The Ark was saved and they left behind a huge mountain of sh!t which stood "proud" of the flood.

For thousands of years it was forgotten - until Christopher Columbus ran aground in 1692

Here is some information from the Associated Press:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Associated Press) A law enforcement official says the gunmaan who killed two people at megachurch has been identified as Matthew Murray, a 24-year-old suburban Denver man who "hated Christians."

What I am alluding to is this, does not this murderer know that these were not "true" Christians to begin with? It is getting really bad how atheists or anyone really butters "ALL" Christians in one biscuit, you know? If these folks are serving a false religion, why are they called Christians? It is sad that most people do not know what a "True" Christian is, but group all so-called "false" & "true" Christians in the same batch.

As for the murderer who went bazzirk killing up those people, he said he hated Christians. I think what he meant to say is that he hated "False" Christians because they are truely to blame for most badness in Amierica. Still didn't give him the right to kill, you know?

Thoughts?
