So... you're driving down a lonely road one evening, scanning through the local radio stations for something to keep you awake. To your surprise, your "seek" button finds a station identified as "KHEL 66.6FM -- The #1 radio station in Hell and the surrounding nether-regions."

What's on the top ten list?

My friends and family think I'm nuts because I take my tree and decorations down the day after Christmas. I've even taken it all down late on Christmas day before! I love the decorating and I love putting the tree up, but once the presents are opened and it's all done I want my house back to normal - NoW! I'm I the odd one out or are there others of you who do the same?

When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless, employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.

can you please tell what does it mean "this is no reflection on the examinee" . what kind of reflection they are talking about here ?

I am also surprised to see that for a job hiring there are polygraph test !!!
As per my information , polygraph tests are performed on criminals to get secret information .

If you really, reaaallly, do believe in Agape love, then why isn't that love enough? Why do you need the bloody sacrifice and mythology? It seems to me that if Christianity DID believe in the perfect and limitless love, then a perfectly loving sovereign creator could simply extend that love to be received and relationship entered into on its own merit without any "help" from any kind of formula or system of pre-requisite sacrifice...that sounds like human love to me.

Please, only Jehovah's Witness' answers.

The Watchtower tells you that Jerusalem fell to Babylon in 607 BCE. This began the start of the Gentile Times, and therefore produces the date - through some argument - of 1914 as the end of the Gentile Times.

However, all archaeological evidence and over 10,000 identified Cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia (found in the 1950s) all put the date of the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon in 587 BCE, a full 20 years later. In fact, no scholar today would ever put the date of 607 BCE on the fall of Jerusalem when it is so certain that it could not have been this date.

Is it not true that C.T.Russell initially forgot to consider that there is no year number "0" and the 1914 date originally started with the year of the fall as 606 BCE? Only when C.T.Russell's mistake was realized, they "adjusted" the date of the fall to 607 BCE.

Why has the Watchtower gone to such great lengths to squash the understanding that the 607 BCE date is proven inaccurate?

Perhaps He answered "No" or "Wait". In looking back over my life I can honestly say in retrospect that He knew best. Those things I did not receive would have been a hindrance and those things He sent I would not choose have been blessings.
Peace Be With You,

I would like to know how Buddhists view other religions, specifically how tolerant they are of them. I would also like a clearer view of their view on war and their involvement in wars. If anyone could help me with this, that would be great. If there are any sites out there that can answers these questions besides Buddhanet.net, I would like to know about them as well.

I'm recently new to the singles scene again and it seems that guys I'm attracted to aren't attracted to me, and conversely the only attention I get is from guys I find unattractive. Is this just the laws of attraction or is something wrong with me?

I just cannot believe what they do. I have looked into what they believe and I just cannot believe the same as them.
The lady gave me some tracts and the tracts dont tell what they really believe... like that Jesus was the archangel or that only 144,000 people will get to go to heaven (and that includes EVERYONE who ever lived). I just cannot believe that.
