Is there a proper where or when? Is it properly done kneeling or standing up?

Here's my thoughts: I think you certainly ought to pray before bed and upon waking. I think it's also a preferable to get on your knees. I once had an old man tell me that every night he is on his knees praying for America's leaders. I figure that if its good enough for a devout 85 year old man its good enough for me.

private school rather than public school? How much would a person wanting his children to attend need to expect to pay in tuition? I understand it is somewhat adjusted for number of children and family income, but what is the normal, base tuition? Thank you for helping.

This statement is taken from the movie, The Devil's Advocate. I find it an interesting statement. If you have never seen the movie, it relates to the final battle between good and evil. The Devil states that in the writings of God, good will win the battle, but The Devil states that this is only a prediction from God and that the actual outcome is unknown until the day it becomes decided.

I am never rude to them but I am offended that someone should knock on my door and force religion on me. No other religion does this so why do Jehovah's Witnesses feel the need to question me and the way I live? I do not condemn their beliefs at all, live and let live, but what are they trying to do? Convert me?

I am in a religious school, and I'm hoping someone here can help me. These are the exact instructions from my teacher:
"Using the concordance in your Bible, find other Scriptures pertaining to standards of speech. You may find it helpful to look up words such as the following: mouth, tongue, speech, words. Make a list of different points you need to consider when speaking."
Please, can someone help me ?

Famous entertainers?
All rap stars,actors,directors,comedians and artists I know are Christians!
Even rock stars who claim to worship Satan are just using a
gimic to get blind little atheists to like them.

I'm disgusted by your disregard for the culture of these people. you think everyone is evil except you and yet how many people did they destroy? how many lives did the natives ruin? in contrast to how many lives and cultures the christians eradicated. if god created everything then god created the natives AND their cultures. GET OUT OF THEIR LIVES! you should be feeding the poor and not forcing your religion on them.

Read about Mr. Jones and the Bih people of Vietnam on the link i provided.

and don't give me the "they're not real christians" b.s. because that is how missionaries have always worked. in order to accept christ you have to deny your old life. thus the destruction of the ancient ways of the people is inevitable.

so what tangible good HAVE they accomplished?
