Society & Culture - 17 December 2007

i need somebody to talk to, because I feel i am slipping away from Jesus. I have been miserable for many months now, and I am becoming anorexic, unhappy, and rebellious. Why, WHY??!!! I need to talk to a believer, please!!! I DONT WANT to lose my faith, I know it is a good, true, and wonderful thing to have. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life ... why can't I realize that??

Im confused as the TV is showing Wukuf in Arafah which i thought would result in tomorrow being Hari Raya Haji.
However, all over Msia the date for Haj celebration is on the 20th of December.
Then, what justifies it?

Pls anyone explain this to me

I'm nice to a fault , it seems like I let people walk over me sometimes.
But I wouldn't be happy going through life being mean and dishonest to people. Does anyone agree with what I am saying

Should we just stop speaking out? Just check my profile, especially that first link, to know that we are in fact speaking out and holding rallies the world over in condemnation of the terrorists. They're harming us, too, you know. If you wanted to look at the hadith about it, it even says to not kill your own species (humans).

So should the Muslims here just forget about showing that we don't all want to kill people? Should we stop encouraging peace, tolerance, and understanding and just let you keep on with the thought that we all want to come after you (superiority complex much??)

I think so. I think I'm just going to stop promoting any kind of peace or tolerance here. Your minds are set already. We get it, you hate all of us and want us dead. You think we all want to harm you and your families, we get it. You think we worship the moon and what not.

Do any other Muslims feel this way? Like we should just forget about these people and concentrate on our lives?

I just started a good job. I was put in a higher position than I normally work in. The thing is, I've been a stay at home mom for almost 10 years except here and there. I don't know what to say to people. People know I'm divorced because my mom knows one of the girls that works there. People ask me personal questions and I'm too honest. How can I lead the conversation more toward something other than me, my divorce or my kids. I don't know what else to talk about. I'm shy as well. HELP!!

While you're at work, I would clean the house from top to bottom, do laundry and pay the bills. When you get home, I'll have a nice hot dinner for you (Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni & Cheese, Biscuits, and Apple Cobbler for dessert). We'll sit, eat, talk, and laugh. After we eat, while you relax, I'll draw you a hot coconut bubble bath. Your pajamas and slippers will be ready for you, when you're finished.

Since we have some free time, we'll drink some chilled Dom Perignon champagne, eat strawberries, and watch a romantic movie together. When the movie's over, I'm tempted to take you in my arms and we make sweet love together. As we finish, I'll hold you in my arms, and we'll both dream the night away.

I watched Joel Osteen yesterday preaching "you are a child of the most high God." The problem with sermons is that thinking people can't ask questions to the preacher. I would like to know if retarded people, homeless people, and people in third-world countries are also "children of the most high God" as well...and if God will take them places they never dreamed of?

I've met this great guy.He's God actually.In the start it was so great- full of love, inspired me for the bright future coming by being wtih Him, promising me rewards, giving me meaning in life.

But I found out about His extremely violent history. He tells me He loves me, but added if I ever leave him he's going to torture me so badly and he'll never let it stop. Some say I'll just disappear one day,but that's still not love! He's gonna do it to most of the world too. It's so terrifying. His older brother-Judaism-doesn't care who's with Him or not, so long as you're nice he'll let everyone in his happy home.

Doesn't He realise I'd love to stay with Him if he just didn't threaten to kill and abandon me for eternity?I don't even plan on leaving Him- i'm too terrified given all the dead who face the torture- but it's hard to respect Him for threatening me.

Do I stay with Him to prevent the future abuse he'll give me? I guess I have no choice. But how to I love someone like that?

John Hagee recently said in an interview that should Iran not comply with the U.S and Israel, a " PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE" should occur from the U.S. Others are saying John Hagee is endorsing war to speed up proficy. I believe murder is murder, plain and simple. John Hagee said war has been since the beginning of time basically and it was proficized.
I had alot of respect for John Hagee until he endorsed war...What is your position ? Do you believe we live in an ERA of Jesus returning shortly ? Thanks so much !
