Why are there so many different denominations in christianity.Doesn't christianity revolve around following the teachings of christ.Do all the different denominations think that their's is the only right one.why can't christians just focus on their belief in christ and stop trying to convince everyone else that their viewpoint is the only way to see it.

There are many posts in R & S, putting Mao in the company of Hitler. My question is: What do you know about Mao that makes him deserve your black list? He did not even kill the last emperor who was a traitor. His failed economic policy caused famine and death of millions. But that can not label him as evil.

Truman dropped two atomic in Japan, and fire bombed Tokyo, killing millions. Didn't he intend to kill innocent people?

I did write her an email, but she didn't even bother to truly look at it. Again, she leaves me feeling that I can't do anything good. What do you think of her response? What can I do to stop this?

wrote: Mom, I'm sorry you are angry with me.

I don't know how many times I can apologize. Even the doctor said it was better to come in rather than to not and let something be broken or whatnot.

I have done the very best I can. I've gone out of my way to take JJ to his physical therapy against my husband saying gas is expensive. I did it out of love for my mother and my brother. The kids spend time with you. Cherana doesn't even let her mother or father spend time with her kids. I gave up a cell phone and have another one if you need it. I'm giving up my PS2 to JJ since I don't need it and I know it will make him feel better.

Anything about it. The question I was asked was, "Why do we sing praises to God, and its not just something to raise ourselves up?"

Seriously, people think they're taking Christ out of Christmas by saying Xmas, but X is actually the Greek letter for Christ. Xmas is only an abbreviation.

I am aware that many people of different faiths or those who don't like tradition won't be. But I guess what i am asking those people is what do you choose instead?

I have had quite a bit of negative feedback from people saying that they don't appreciate JWs on their door on Christmas day...some people are highly offended. Could this be a case of being discreet and not causing offence to others? What do you think?

Have you ever felt like this?
I feel like until now, I've been living in sin. I was never exactly a horrible person but the little things I did that I thought were harmless, were acts of the devil. I believed in God, and prayed so I thought that justified everything I did when really, the devil was winning all along. Evil- kept with me with an ex of mine who was no good for me or my son, (which I knew but stayed & made excuses) it kept me having sex before marriage, portraying negative energy when I could have been more positive etc.

I've always believed in God but now, I see the world so much more clearer...I no longer judge those who I feel are living in sin because in order for a change, they need prayer, not judgment (unless its from God)… I’m more easily able to decipher right and wrong in God’s eyes….and I want to try harder to live by that.




Atheist, no need for your answers or disrespect or rude comments. I don’t criticize your beliefs when you ask questions!

It is known that Christmas was originally a pagan holiday, and was later changed to honor Christ. One of the popes did this to make it easier for the pagans to convert. I won't celebrate Halloween because of it's pagan background, but I will celebrate Christmas because Christmas has changed and now honors God, while Halloween on the other hand is still about witchcraft and death (you may disagree, but that's nopt what this question is about.)

So anyways, what is so wrong about changing something bad and making it for the glory of God. Paul said that it was okay to eat meat that pagans sold in the market that they had sacrificed to their gods, if you were giving thanks to God for the meat and were not observing as a sacrifice to pagan gods. If you don't celebrate Christmas do you also believe that wedding rings are wrong because they are also of pagan tradition? will you not be burried in a casket because that's a pagan tradition?
