And Riegan's coming back (if only for a little while) tomorrow too! Is anyone up for a double party?

Got any ideas how we should welcome back our beloved Pagan?

My parents left the catholic church long ago, thankfuly God brought me back this past spring. My parents weren't too happy when I told them but they have been warming up since then. God told me that I need to bring them back to His church, thats why He woulnt let me stay on campus over break :( so I've been working very hard and I can see it happening. Sadly my childhood and memories with my parents is a part of me that darkness has ahold of. I am trying to let the light shine through but its hard work. So I still dislike my parents.

One of my goals is to invite them to attend Christmas Eve Mass with me, but I dunno how to bring it up. Any suggestions?

I know a girl whose husband is JW. He gives nothing to anyone, but the gifts people give to her, he takes what he likes from her stuff.

Is this how JW operate?

There seem to be some linguistic issues when debating religion... For example, it seems the word "faith" changes meaning constantly... The terms God and god have an ambiguous relationship...

Are there similar problems in other languages?

I'm in my RCIA course but I'm having serious doubts about the whole thing. Are there any Catholics who don't agree with everything that Catholicism or the church stands for? What can I do to get rid of these doubts? I'm having doubts about everything from the trinity to the Marian doctrines.

and well... last week after our exams she came over to party with me and two of my roommates. Well we had a lot of fun but she spent the night and slept in my bed. The problem is... she really wanted to have sex with me. I threw her off of me because i didn't want to lose my virginity at the time (even though i find her really attractive... and lets be real guys... that is ultimate bragging rights, sounds a little sick... but its the truth). Now things between us are a little awkward. I think she actually liked me... but when i threw her off me it told her that i wasn't into a relationship. I would love to date her... but because she is a lesbian that doesn't really make sense... Should i just talk to her about all this?

answer a question. This is not meant to be insulting, just the truth.
An atheist quotes the Bible to support something and "we are taking it out of context", but you quote the Bible (even though there is a contradictory other passage) and you are right. A question is asked that you have no idea for and all you can say is "God provides all", "All part of God's plan" or "Just God's will". If it truly is all part of God's plan or God's will and he knows all, then there is NO FREE WILL. Can you understand that at all?
And amazing that God provides all or God performs miracles, but yet he has never helped someone who has lost a limb, why is that? And please try to truthfully answer that, I know being truthful is hard or answering a question directly is hard for you.
It is amazing that you constantly state that Satan is full of lies and deceit, well it appears that since you can not answer a question at all, it is easy to observe who you are more like, and that would be Satan.

I actually also wrote this in additional details on one of my questions, but I said this to a very religious person at work who wished me a Merry Christmas and said "Jesus be with you" - which I did not take offense to, but here is the statement:

"Merry Christmas to you, and may your god bless you as my lack of faith has blessed me."

She thought I was mocking her and said "You will burn for that".

Any thoughts on this? Would you take offense if you believed?

protestants work from the bible which was written and edited by roman catholics in the years leading up to the souncil of carthage (397):

http://www.catholicapologetics.org/ap030700.htm

but if protestantism is a real denomination, why would it use the catholic bible?

i realise protestants ignore many books (though the apocrypha was included in protestant bibles until a century ago) - but a catholic bible with a few hundred pages torn out is hardly a new text.

When I got married, I opted to keep my own last name, because I am still in school, and everything was registered under my name and it would be easier if I kept it the same for the time being.

What are the Christian opinions on this? I have heard both sides from Christians so I wanted to know what your thoughts were? Does a wife have to take her husband's last name?

I am making Christmas cards in Computer class for my fiance and his mother. On his, I'm putting an image of mistletoe and an image that says meet me under the mistletoe. On hers, I'm putting a funny picture of a cat with mistletoe hanging from its tail, its butt in the air toward the dog, and it says kiss me under the mistletoe. I want to put a funny line in hers, and something romantic in his, but I have crap for imagination when it comes to this kind of thing.
