I encourage all the pray along with me for New York City. Might sound a little awkward but if you can that would really mean a lot.

Jw's have a very bad track record regarding the changing it's position on medical issues:
1931.."golden age".."Vaccination is a direct violation of the covenent that God made with Noah".
Awake Aug.22 1965 "Vaccinations cause disease"
Watch...Nov.15,1967..."organ transplants amounted to cannibalism"
Watch. Mar.15 1980.."organ transplants are NOT necessarily cannibalistic" and began allowing them.
given the Watchtower"s track record of prohibiting vaccinations for over 20 years, then reversing itself, and later banning organ transplants for 13 years before again changing the interpertation, one can only wonder how long will it be until the Society reinterprets the Bible verses it now uses to forbid transfusions.

I speculated that I have had a few past lives and was curious if anyone has similar thoughts about themselves. Did you have any past lives, if so what were they?

A kind Mormon has asked me to go to church every Sundy but I gave excuses not to go but this time I had a real excuse, I'm playing poker but I didn't tell him that I told him I had business to take care of.

Ok I don't even believe in Mormonism and I don't believe that Shabbat is on Sundy anyways...

Is it their self-doubt dressed up in the activities & rituals of evangelizing and getting others to convert to their beliefs?

This is a Q in both the philosophy & the psychology of religion.

Have you ever noticed when you don't see someone online for a few days, do you ever wonder what happened to them?

I just found out that one of our Religion and Spirituality frequent contributors was in the hospital this past week (Pastor Art). I found out because I had posted a question to his e-mail directly and he just responded to me.

I don't know about you, but it bothers me that there is no way to find out when someone is in the hospital, or worse yet, when someone might pass on.

It's one of the drawbacks of having relationships via computer, don't you think?

(Sorry to be so depressing, but to me, this is a concern)

I was just wondering as I've read that the Kaabaa in mecca was originally a hindu temple to Shiva in pre-Islamic days (when an Indian king had control of a part of Arabia). Shiva also wears a crescent moon on his head as part of his look.

Is the islamic crescent symbol in any way linked to Shiva?

I see these cars with bumper stuickers saying, "In the event of Rapture, the car will be unmanned" . Aren't these people concerned about what a road hazard they are causing by just simply driving?

If so, is there some kind of tunnel that leads to eventual death at the end of the person's life, within the unconscious, in which such moral people will get a chance to accept Jesus as their Lord and savior?

If you look at different cultures, you will see that their particular god(s) fit into their way of life. Societies that believe humans are above nature create gods that give them dominion over other life. Those that have social ranking believe that the supernatural world also has ranking (like ranking of angels).

People who believe they are subjugated by nature, like the rest of life, usually believe in multiple gods that help sustain their lives - gods that control the sun, rain, etc.

To me this clearly points to the conclusion that all our gods are manmade. Is this a valid conclusion?

allowing them to visit with JW relatives? In particular:

The JW's stand on blood transfusions. How do you make sure they'll never be able to impose their refusal of blood on your child, for instance, when staying with Grandma for the weekend, etc?

How about spiritual warfare? JWs believe it's important to do what's needed, ethical or not, to insure their message gets through. How do you deal with this practice AND encourage your children to know their relatives? For instance, sneaking the child to their meetings against your will.

These are issues I'm personally dealing with as my JW relatives still show interest in our family. I do not want to alientate them but I also want to protect my child. I'm curious how everyone else deals with it...

What do you think when your pastor goes to a football game on Saturday and then calls the decons on Saturday night and tells them that he is unable to be there Sunday morning worship service to find someone to fill in for him? Is he a real man of God?

Every single Democratic candidate for President has disavowed lobbyists and REJECTED funds from such special interest groups. **EXCEPT** Hillary. Who claims that WE (the people) are the ones backing those groups, and that they therefore represent US.

That's total bullcrap!! That's like saying that a corporation's CEO who's being paid $20,000,000 a year is being backed by the company's customers. When in reality, hardly anyone buying that company's products would want anything to do with that CEO's being paid such an obscenely-absurd salary.

I continue to support Hillary for President because she's the best person for the job. But I think she really NEEDS to **scuttle** the lobbies and the special interest groups, accept NONE of their funds, and deal DIRECTLY with US. The people. Do you agree? And if not, why not?

I am really curious because I answered Moonlits question and I corrected something somebody said about only asking Allah to forgive you (it's obvious one needs to ask Allah swt to forgive you). I said that when you wrong or hurt somebody you are supposed to also ask that person to forgive you too. I got a ton of thumbs down which doesn't normally bother me but then I also go reported and my answer is no longer there. So,.....I started wondering. I know I have read in Islamic lit. that you should ask others to forgive you in certain situations (although in the end it is Allah who forgives you)....I am at work now so I cannot quote them but I did a quick search and in the article in wikipedia on forgiveness it says that in Islam you do also ask the person to forgive you. So, what is right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgiveness

You say that you believe that the Bible is true and that you base your doctrine on it. How can you than believe that Jesus isn't God when, among other verses, we have in Titus 2:13

while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
