What to do with broken rosaries?

At the Catholic school I work at, I tossed out a bag of broken rosaries - it was okay, because it's my job...

But even though I think the rosary is idol worship, what do you who are catholics do with broken rosaries?

This has been bugging me for a while now. I know, I know, we honor Mary, not worship her.

But why would she make so many appearances? More than Elvis in fact. And why did she order a church be built in her 'honor' at Lourdes? What's she up to? Or is that really Mary? I wonder...

God bless.

Leviticus 20:13

V13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

I sometimes close my eyes and imagine I'm sucking a lemon and that makes me salivate as much as when I close my eyes and think of Jesus!

An example of Jewish apocryphal literature in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an version of Cain and Abel, not only does the story follow the Jewish Talmud, but they are repeated almost word-for-word in the Qur'an. The writers of the Qur'an did not recognize this as folklore and included it as part of the text. Christian apocryphal sources are also evident. For instance, the Palm tree in the account of Mary after Jesus' birth (sura 19:22-26) comes from the so called LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. The account of the infant Jesus creating birds out of clay (sura 3:49) is found in the GOSPEL OF THOMAS while the account of the baby Jesus talking (sura 19:29-33) can be traced to ARABIC APOCRYPHAL FABLE. Another example, in (Sura 4:157) it says "they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them". This is almost word- for-word taken from THE GOSPEL OF BARNABAS written by Gnostic Christians of the 1st century, while the GOSPELS that are in the Bible were written between 50-70 AD/CE

Strictly speaking Jesus was not from the seed of David. Because
he was born without a human father. David was a Jew or he was from the tribe of Judah(yahoodah(Judah) and yehoodi(descendents of Judah).
Mary was a Levite like Moses and Aaron. It is somewhat like Abraham not being a Jew but a Hebrew(descendent of Eber) and not being an Israelite(descendents of his son Jacob or Israel) and Moses being both a Hebrew and a Levite Israelite(descendent of Israel's son Levi. Did you think that?

If you ask someone what color do you BELIEVE the sky is and they say green. I may not agree but I believe that that is what they believe. Muslims believe that Mohammed was God's prophet. Fine I do not believe this but I understand it is their belief. They would know what they believe. Why is it when you ask Catholics what do they believe some people say that Catholics believe different? If you don't practice that persons faith then most likely you probably do not know everything about it. If you left that faith then you are like a disgruntled employee and may not be a reliable source of information.

Do they judge people who have left the church and condemn them to hell?If so they should read the 7th chapter of Matthew.Do they back up their teaching with more references to the bible or do they seem to speak only from within themselves.If that's the case get out and find a church that preaches the bible.

LET US KEEP IN MIND THAT SATAN (LUCIFER-ANGEL OF LIGHT) WAS ALREADY IN HEAVEN, HAS ALREADY SEEN THE FACE OF GOD, KNOWS THAT GOD IS ALSO HIS FATHER/CREATOR, AND CAN'T BE DEFEATED. TO EVEN THINK OF CHALLENGING GOD IS THE MOST STUPID THING THAT I CAN THINK OF. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE KNOWS THAT GOD IS REAL AND DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE FAITH LIKE US MORTALS OF FLESH HIM AUCTUALLY BEING IN HEAVEN AND ALL BEFORE BEING CAST DOWN AND ALL. ANOTHER POINT. THE FACT THAT HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD CLUE THAT HE CAN'T BEAT GOD! WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO GAIN FROM CHALLENGING GOD BUT ETERNAL PAIN IN A GAME THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN?

Planet X is back at earth...surely that is why
All is so clear from the Church Bible
Moses knew it and its hailstones
and Revelation Also from the book of Enoch

And all things on the earth shall alter,
And shall not appear in their time:
And the moon shall alter her order,
And not appear at her time.
And in those days the sun shall be seen and he shall journey in the evening on the extremity of the great chariot in the west
And shall shine more brightly than accords with the order of light.
And many chiefs of the stars shall transgress the order (prescribed).
And these shall alter their orbits and tasks,
And not appear at the seasons prescribed to them.
And the whole order of the stars shall be concealed,
And the thoughts of those on the earth shall err concerning them,
Book of Enoch
The Council of Worlds had to push Jupiter back in her right orbit after this monster knocked her for six
Time is running our for the church to own up

Why exactly do so many people in this forum think that death is bad? Most of the posts in here associate it with either Satan or some other type of Good vs Evil thing. Even people use it when they bash god here, such as questions why God lets people die.

I'm in no way religious now, but isn't death good? I mean now come on, seriously what do people think would happen to the natural resources of this planet if people were not able to die. Adolf would still be around, and Mr Bush would be chillin with him, ect.

Catholic and christian organizations have for many years been mollesting and raping young children in their so called " houses of worship"

This has been very damaging to children and I beleive in fingerprint checks and extensive backround checks on these pagan establishments , this will make sure that our children are safe.

The catholic churches have supported their priests that rape and mollest children and rarely condemning it. What can America do to stop this? If you ask me I would say tax the churches because they operate like a business and make backround checks mandatory.

If a church is cought in a sex scandal the chruch should be closed down permanently.

Okay, so Heaven is perfect right? If it is so perfect why did the mighty dark angel (the devil) rise against your god? If it was in fact perfect would he not have been content? Why start a war in a happy place where everything is perfect? And if it is perfect, how did this perfect asylum produce its very own worst enemy? And if God forgives all sins, how did the devil wind up with a place of his own to do what ever he wants?

I am not a atheist, or devil worshiper for that matter. Just looking for reason.
