Society & Culture - 19 December 2007

My daughter just finished a two year degree and got married. When I co signed for a $4,000.00 school loan and then a 16.000.00 car loan for my daughter. once she was engaged, and was by both my daughter and son-in-law to be, assured that both would be out of my name once they were married. Now that they are married, they say they can't because they had to by a condo. Then when they bought the condo, they had 10.000 dollars in the bank and they but 500.00 down on the condo and bought all new furniture and paid some bills and so they could not get a loan for the college 4000.00 fund or find a co-signer for the car in my and my daughter's name although they promised they would. I am dumbfounded...why would they do this to me knowing that I am on a fixed income and need to get an equity loan for my home and can't get a decent % rate with 20,000 hanging over my head.

I know I could just google this kind of thing but I want to hear from the people, you know?

Do they believe they are saved? How? Why? etc.

Are there any criteria?

Thanks in Advance

Happy Holidays!
God Bless!

Where all in puranas this arrow is used ? Was this an arrow used by Lord Rama for pushing Ravana further into the path to become Divine ? What are your understandings of this arrow called Aindrastra ?

For some reason, I highly value my Mom's opinion when it comes to what she thinks about me. I'm Gay, and am absolutely comfortable with it. However, I don't believe my Mom would be too thrilled if she knew. She is a very religious mormon who believes that homosexuality is a sin and that Gays and Lesbians shouldn't have the same marriage rights that heterosexuals do. We've had this discussion many times during the last few years and the vibe I got from her was very strong. She doesn't agree with homosexuality at all.

I love my Mom very much and I want her to be able to look at me and say she loves me for me; and not for who I've been pretending to be. She's one of the most important people in my life and I am scared that she won't accept me, or that she will think I am psychologically screwed up. She possibly might try to get me 'help'. (I realize you can't force someone to love you)

My question to you is;
What is the easiest, non threatening, way to come out to my mom? Any ideas

Even if their own disobedience of God doesn't harm anyone directly.

Or should you just tell them the error of their ways and hope they listen?

I loved this. I'm a guy waiting to come out of the closet and I watched all five seasons to introduce me into the lifestyles of homosexual living. Does this series give a fair representation?

I've been told once that there is no such thing as bisexual. They said that a man in a relatioinship with a women who desires a man, is just a gay waiting to come out of the closet. Is there truth to this?

If Father, Son and Ghost are the same, why invication of three, eg, in baptism?? Should not just one of them be enough??

Hindus have no trouble of this kind. Invocation of One means invocation of all Three.

Nachiketa asked for 3 boons from Yama... 2 boons were immediately granted. But Yama hesitated giving the third boon about life after death.

Can someone tell why Yama was so reluctant giving the 3rd boon ??

Serious question: I mean like, " God you scared me", or " Oh my God, what was that". I used to say it, but now that I am born-again I believe it's using God's name in vain. I know for you God doesn't exist so if you do say it is it just a part of your vocabulary?
