The last televised junk science I recently viewed was about the "Big Rip", In other words, the universe will reach it's limit of expansion and all matter will be torn asunder. If that can make the DIscovery Channel, my Theory Of Creation should be a shoe in. Your thoughts.

A respectable Jehovah’s Witness recommended that I attend a Kingdom Hall. Considering I agree with some Jehovah’s Witness doctrines, such as what is commonly called “soul sleep,” this doesn’t seem like it is such a bad idea. On the other hand, there are many things the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach (or have taught) that I disagree with, especially when it comes to eschatology (I’m a partial-preterist). So my question to you Jehovah’s Witnesses is this: would the average Jehovah’s Witness congregation mind a more mainstream Christian regularly attending their congregation? Would they accept a non-denominational Christian or would they require him to convert to their own denomination? Can anyone give me some information on this?

The reason I ask is because I have heard stories of Jehovah’s Witnesses converting to more mainstream Christian denominations and being disowned by their families and local congregations.

I know that going out on Halloween is alright to some Catholics, I did it when I was a kid, but I don’t let my kids attend now since I have learn a few things about the past. I noticed today that they were doing a celebration at church a Halloween/ All saints day festival, but the kids were all suppose to dress like their favorite saint.

My question is, instead of changing what kids wear, why just go with out it? It’s not like that day is All saints day, that’s the next day. You don’t celebrate Christmas a day early, or Easter so why this one?

You know those women who say "I dont/never want kids.." and then those are "I want kids sooo bad...." or "I wish I could have kids soooo bad..." well is a woman who does not DESIRE to bear children a waste? Think of all the women out there who would LOVE to have their own children but cannot for some health reason, or they just did not have the chance or means to do it. We women are Gods products in producing miracles; children. And for a woman to not want to utilize her female organs.... is it a waste??? Just think of all the women who would love to have children but cant.

I was born and raised a Catholic. The father of my children was born and raised Pentecostal.
I don't want my kids to lead the Pentecostal lifestyle and he doesn't want the kids to lead a Catholic lifestyle.
The reasons why I will not state here...
I figure to let it be and let the kids make up their own minds...
Opinions on this subject will appreciated....

My grandparents are old school Catholics.

Tonight, my mom turned on Joel Osteen for the family to watch while they were over too.

As you can guess, my grandparents were very skeptical.

I think it's SO CLOSED MINDED of some Catholics to look down upon people like myself who like Joel, Billy G., or Charles Stanely.

I love listening to Joel the most.

I have his daily inspirations sent to my email everyday.

I've read his book "Your Best Life now" and am reading his new book.

Bottom Line: there's NOTHING WRONG WITH JOEL or being theology light and giving hope to people like myself.

After all, Jesus' message was pretty basic and full of hope.

May God Bless you all.

And Remember, YOU ARE A VICTOR AND NOT A VICTIM!

I was baptised Episcopalian but never confirmed. My husband was baptised and confirmed Catholic. We were married in a civil ceremony on January 1st of this year. Now I am seeking to covert to Catholicism so we may have a renewal of vows in his church in Wisconsin and raise our children Catholic. What would be the best way of going about this? I have always accepted Jesus Christ into my life and read the Holy Bible, so it is not completly foregion to me. Though I have done some research on the subject I have yet to find and definate steps and/or "how to" instructions. Thank you in advance for your answer!

My bf and me have been engaged for over a year now.

He is not Catholic and actually is not really any religion. He grew up going to Baptist church though.

I am a traditional Roman Catholic. The preist at my church has already said they do mixed marriages but he will need to think about actually doing it and whether or not he wants to because it is on his soul. I understand this because if the marriage does not work he is responsible for the union of two people and one who is not Catholic. I don't want him to do something he doesn't want to do. I love my bg, we have 11m old daughter together and we have been together for almost 4 years.

My bf has already said he does not want to become a Catholic but maybe one day when he understands it better it could happen. I respect this because it can be very confusing for someone who does not understand the sacraments.

I have contacted two of the Novus order churches in the area to marry us. What are the marriage prep classes like, how long?

I've been thinking about this.

I've been reasoning that since Sunday is supposed to be set aside for the Lord and for rest, it is even worse to commit a mortal sin on Sunday.

(Now I feel even more guilty)

You have to understand something, this is where my Obsessive Compulsive disorder mentality comes in. (Yes, I have it and it stinks. It has really knocked me off course in life. I haven't even told any adults about it either. I'm a teen.)

Since I have ocd, I have an urge or compulsion to commit that sin again on a day that's not Sunday.

However, I don't think God would agree with a person (such as myself) having to commit a mortal sin again on a non Sunday to make up for the time I've commited a mortal sin on Sunday.

Please, no insults about my disease. That's the last thing I need.

Have fear, shame, control and "sin" been used as tools to manipulate you?
Are you strong enough to acknowledge that you have been lied to?
Are you willing to admit to yourself that you have been a victim and that you need help?

Stages of control of xianity in one's life:

Becoming more and more preoccupied with church/bible study
Excessive church attendance or reading bible
Using church/bible/prayer to avoid life and/or problems
Compulsive thinking about or quoting scripture
The above is the loss of control stage.

Compulsive church attendance or quoting of scriptures
Obsessive praying, prosyletizing, witnessing, attending revivals and crusades on a frequent basis
Excessive financial contributions
Increasing dependence on "the Lord"

I cannot understand the argument of how being gay or not is a choice. It is scientifically shown that animals have sometimes been gay and they do not have the option of freewill the way we do.

Can anyone give me a logical explanation as to how it is possible for it to be someone's choice? Please no Bible babble, because I don't believe in a book.

For those who do not believe in Christian doctrine, do you fear that you may be wrong, and that there is a hell for nonbelievers? Why or why not? And, what do you think happens after death, and what accounts for your belief? Do you fear it? (serious answers only please.)
