I don't know how to do it, so I was going to have someone do it for me. I have feelings for this girl at work, but she has none for me what so ever. Since someone else is doing it, am I exempt from the three fold law, since im not the one that cast the energy out, just the spell caster. I am guessing that nothing major is going to happen for me since its not really harmful or bad.

I've realized recently that my skin has turned to parchment, and everything sags and looks gross. But I still weigh 99 pounds and have a lot of energy, so I didn't think so much about it. My teaching job this year has been a challenge, with kids stamping their feet at me and refusing to do what they're told, but I've been patient and hard-working. Today, though, was really rough. I had another episode with a child who is deeply disturbed and has been in a lot of trouble, but I keep on loving him and praying for him. I made it to the afternoon, and when we were practicing for our Christmas program, a child motioned for me. When I walked over to see what he wanted, he pointed to another boy and said, "He says you're old." I can't tell you how it hurt. I used to be the popular teacher; I've always had fun with my kids while I was helping them achieve. This boy doesn't even know me; he doesn't know I lie awake at night worrying about our kids. All he sees is that I'm old.

Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”

Is there any you would rather not see? Why or why not.
Do you think that in some way our "real" photos might detract from our serious posts?
Peace Be With You,

"IT'S A GIRL!" To all believers; if the Promised One had turned out to be female, would that make a difference with your faith? How would history have been affected, and would it really matter? Why must the Savior of the world have been a male? This is a serious question, and I am just wondering. Thanks.

one and want to know more about his religion. Why as Muslims do you fight so much amongst yourselves. I often frequent the Religion and Spirituality section and obviously many people there fight with people of differing religions. Most of the Muslims who visit that section show the love and peace of their religion, even to others that are not Muslim. How in the world do you expect to influence non-Muslims that your religion is the true one and one of love and peace if you fight amongst yourselves. In just one day I'm fed up and ready to give up even trying to make new Muslim friends here.
Those of you doing this should be ashamed of yourselves. It seems to me you need to emerge yourselves more in the quran than spending time here being so mean. If this is what Islam is then I'll stay Christian.

Please click the link and you will be taken to youtube to watch a video about the whole thing. This alarms me because I am religious and do not want to wear the mark of the beast because you will not get into heaven. Also, all of the freedoms that mean so much to us will be eliminated. Serious replies only, please.

I'll use sports as an example. When the NBA was all white the league had certain rules. Then along comes Wilt Chamberlain, and nobody could stop him. The 3 sec. rule followed. But that didnt stop what was happening, eventually the league became almost all Black. So along comes new rules. Zone defense used to be illegal, but in order to make the new European players competetive they allow zone defense now. The reason: Dirk Nowinski is too slow to guard the likes of Kevin Garnett. Before the rule change someone like Allen Iverson would regularly drop 50 points on the likes of Steve Nash and Jason Williams. Zone defense makes matchups irrelevant and allows players who are weak on defense to stay on the floor.

Do you think rules are adopted in general life that have this affect?

right he teaches me for science and sometimes does morning assembly. well i dont see him that often but he;s really annoying and makes his presence clear. like he hides my books and stuff and then puts them somewhere esle. this sounds really,really stupid but like two days agol he told me he needed to speak to me at lunch in his office. i went to his 'office' and he told me that he had a book to give me. he gave it me and that was OK. then i gave it back to him (i had him next for science) because he asked for it. then he told me he left the book in the library for me.. which doesnt even make sense. well i went over to the library.. it wasnt there. He came and told me "Oh i'm realy sorry, i left it in the canteen." I went to the canteen, it wasn't there.. i lost it. today he shouted at me in front of the whole class and made me stay after school 30 mins every day next week! so unfair! and then i started crying when i walked out of his lesson, he was really nice but then told me it was

I see Jews saying things like this:
“We believe that Jewishness is a birthright. It is inherited from our parents. Our people are not of one culture; we have diverse cultural expressions (Ashkenazi/Sephardi, Georgian/Russian, Ethiopian, Persian, etc.). Our people are not of one religion. While Judaism might be the traditional religion for many Jewish people, Jews are still considered Jewish even though they might be atheists or even if they embrace other beliefs.”

And yet, I see others saying that if you believe Jesus is the Messiah, then you definitely are not a Jew.

In fact, many Jews readily agree that you can be a Jew and an atheist…but just not a Jew who believes in Jesus.

So, basically, a Jew can be a Jew and believe absolutely ANYTHING and still be a Jew, EXCEPT that Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed One of God, the Prophet who was prophesied to come?

Does this mean that the ONLY way to “lose” your “Jewishness” is by believing in Jesus?

Does anybody else find this profoundly sad and ironic…especially since “Christianity” is nothing more than “Judaism fulfilled” – through and by her own Messiah, the Son of David, Lamb of God, and Lion of Judah - Jesus of Nazareth (Yeshua)?

For those of you who don't know mithras was a god from the Roman religion of mithraism which was common around 1st and 2nd centenaries BC. mithras was a the saviour sent to earth to live life as a mortal who died to allow sinners to have eternal life but came back to life the following Sunday. He was born from a virgin in a manger or cave on 25th December which was attended by shepherds. To celebrate his birthday the mithrasians give each other gifts, they also symbolically consume his flesh and blood. Just before he died he shard a last meal with his 12 deciles. mithras being a sun god was worshiped on Sundays and so often depicted with a halo behind his head. The leader of mithraism was known as the papa and had his HQ on Vatican hill in Rome He was the son of the god Zoroastinarianism (I know bad spelling) and If people did not bath in bulls blood would he still be woreshiped

Atheists think they know everything and stubbornly stick to their primitive beliefs - with their "science" and their "evolution" and their so called "micro-wave ovens".

When will you simple minded atheists realize that all you believe in is false?

Maybe a lack of education is to blame.

I am fed up with real trees for the holidays so I have decided to get a fake tree once they go on sale. I am wondering what brand someone would suggest as being the best out there. I have had a few in the past and some didn't make it to year two or three. I am wanting one that is between 8 and 10 feet tall and I have priced them and I don;t want to spend a shoot load of money on something that won't last. can anyone suggest a brand that they feel is well worth the money??

Allso, are the trees that are pre-lit worth the few extra dollars? Thanks!

"There is no such thing as a stupid question"
How many times have you heard that from an elementary school teacher?

I truly believe there is no such thing as a stupid question. There are, however, many questions that will make you SOUND like a stupid person.

So, why do I care appearing stupid? Simple. Appearing dumb carries social consequences. Ask a few "dumb questions" in a college freshman chemistry class with 100+ students, and your classmates will soon know about you...as a MORON! The consequence does not end here. Your most intelligent and most diligent classmates will avoid being associated with you. They will choose not to work with you in group projects and homework, leaving you to work with the "average" classmates. This may hurt your grades!
