Society & Culture - 23 December 2007

I have a 4 month old & just realized that I need to make or buy something special from her to all of her grandparents. I'm not talking about anything elaborate or expensive. Something simple, meaningful, & could possibly be homemade. I'm very crafty so I can do just about anything I put my mind to, with her help. I know she's so young but she can be a part in it & it's mainly for the thought. I need some ideas! This is so last minute, so remember it can't be anything like embroidery or anything that would require delivery. And, no ornament ideas because some of them don't put up Christmas trees. Any ideas? Handprints? Anything???

P.S. No rude comments by the way! If you don't have any REAL advice, save it!

By all accounts, none of the stars and planets should be here, much less us. This is the finding of the finest of sciences;physics.

I'm just curious about the rationale behind believing in this highly improbable accident, as being all there is.

this question is really a repeat of someone else's awhile back...but as I sit in my sunroom and watch the activity outside it made me think of it, once again. Pine trees waving in the breeze' squirrels running and looking for food; folk walking their dogs; nests in trees now abandoned for the winter.

I have this friend from church. Earlier today, at lunch, he got the cookie I had on my plate--I mean I knew it was all in good fun! I tried a little sarcasm, 'cause I don't get to tease that much, they say. Said I was always serious. So, I told him, "Why don't you go get me a drink, since you took my cookie?" I said that in a joking way! He took it seriously, came back and dumped a lot of cookies on my plate and nearly splashed the drink he had in his hand! He was like "You don't want to share a cookie, fine! Here you go! I'll supply you with a load of cookies, if that's what you want, and here's you drink!" I went after him and said that I was just joking! He won't talk to me! He told me not to make him raise his voice!
That was my idea of a joke! I never thought he'd take me seriously at that! Man, I feel so stupid! What do I do?

And what if Jesus just rose to the occasion because his mom made him believe he was that special.

Things have gotten quite intense here for the last few days, so here's a few jokes to end the weekend right.

A new flood was predicted and nothing could prevent it. In three days, the waters would wipe out the world. The Dalai Lama appeared on worldwide media and pleaded with humanity to follow Buddhist teachings to find nirvanain the wake of the disaster. The pope issued a similar message, saying, "It is still not too late to accept Jesus are your Savior." The chief rabbi of Jerusalem took a slightly different approach: "My people," he said, "we have three days to learn to live under water."

Shalom Airlines hired a wonderful Yiddishe mama to handle their public relations. Her first assignment was to write the cabin notices, which she did:

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS
NO SMOKING
EAT A PIECE FRUIT

That has the cosmopolitan and cultured feel like Hellenism But still has the funloveing barbariannuss of asatru. It must also be low on ancestor and nature reverence.

My parents are divorced and I rarely see my dad. It's so awkward buying him something for Christmas. I have no money. I asked him what he wanted today and he said nothing and told me to save my money. I feel bad, because he is probabl getting me something nice. What do I do?? Can I just give him nothing? He knows I love him and appreciate him, I just have no idea!

I have this theory that sin effects the environment. I don't know why I think this I just do. It seems when ever sin is great in a land the earths environment gets thrown into chaos. I don't think God does this but I think that when sin is practiced it gives powers to Satans dominion and as a result Satan gains control over the weather in that region. I just saw a car get blown into another which hit another car one which badly injured a man. God is in control of everything so why such violence in weather?

Why do Jesus say, " I am the way, the truth and the light, no man can come unto the Father, but by me" ?

....The vital substances in this vast pharmacy of the universe, which are measured on the scales of Divine Determining and Decree of the All-Wise and Pre-Eternal One, can only come into existence through a boundless wisdom, infinite knowledge and all-encompassing will. The unfortunate person who declares that they are the work of blind, deaf and innumerable elements and causes and natures, which stream like floods; and the foolish, delirious person who claims that that wondrous remedy poured itself out when the phials were knocked over and formed itself, are certainly unreasonable and nonsensical. Indeed, such denial and unbelief is a senseless absurdity.....

Is it a scriptual teaching or an opinion by the elders in each hall?
I ask because my husband wears a very short, clean beard. He was baptized with it 6 years ago. He has had a beard for over 25 years and truly I think he looks better with one.
In the last few years this has come up several times from other bro's and sis's as to why he wears one?
Our family is strong & healthy in the truth. We rarely miss meetings. He is a very strong reader, they are hesitant to use him as a reader or handle the mics due to his beard.
He is given mowing and other duties though.
We are very confused.
Is this scriptual or not? One brother said to go by the pictures in the WT. Hubby's comment is that all the men of old wore beards, including Jesus.
It is also our understanding that depending on where you attend meetings (such as Alaska) this is approached differently.
If Jehovah wants it, he will do it immediately.
He doesn't want to resent doing it to pls "men".
Serious question, Help.

I mean, the fact that we can't say "Merry Christmas" but we have to say "Happy Holidays" because someone might get offended is, to me, a bit ridiculous. I think everyone should have a right to express their beliefs and opinions without being judged or told to be quiet. I also think it is a little pathetic that people are getting offended because it says "In God We Trust" on our currency and it says God in the pledge of allegiance. Does anyone else agree with that and think that we should be able to express our beliefs without getting in trouble?

Probably it sounds like a vague or ridiculous question for some of you. However, it is sad that if you find out who you were in your ''previous life'', you would know how to break a chain or infinite circle where you're repeating your mistakes over and over.
Please, answer me without laughs but with at least some tolerance and respect.
