    Your favorite rosary, tell about it!

    When I was a little girl, I had a rosary that had different coloured beads for every decade. Once a young priest said to me....that each decade was for different coloured people. Red for red Indians, yellow for Chinese, white for white people etc etc. I loved that little rosary. My mother...

    What is the most outrageous misconception about Catholics that you have heard?

    When I was a little girl...and that's a LONG time ago. People used to say that there were tunnels under the ground where the nuns and priests used to go in secret so they could be together. And in more recent times I heard that the pope had .... 666 .... sewn into the seams of all his robes...

    Any words of advice

    I'm certainly not a.... new .... believer, but I do suffer from a type of social phobia. I hate being in crowds and I'm always thinking that as soon as I open my mouth I've made a fool of myself, and I feel everyone is judging me as being too loud, or dressed wrongly or whatever. I can't quote...

    Gay Life: Tolerate or Celebrate

    Children are molested by hetrosexuals more often than my homosexuals. And I tolerate homosexuals, I certainly don't celebrate them. Love the sinner not the sin !!

    Is it wrong to pray for death?

    Well, rightly or wrongly, I've certainly prayed for death. I've suffered from severe depression for many years and during my darkest times I've begged God to take me, because I couldn't stand the insanity and horror of what was going on in my brain any longer. Instead He delivered me, and I'm...

    If people involved with the occult get saved, do they go to heaven?

    I think anyone who has sinned...and we all have...no matter what the sin has been, if we accept Jesus into our lives, then we will be saved. I believe every repented sinner is saved, so I would say yes to your second question too.

    Did you know? (Tips)

    Well, aren't you clever. :-) Thank you for sharing that. :-) Now my mind's gone blank and I can't think of anything very clever. :-) Ummmm, if you have dirty hankerchiefs from when you have a cold or flu, boil them in salt water and it will clean them and get the initial "stuff" off them...

    who do you pray to?

    As I didn't get along with my earthly father, I always found it hard to relate to God the Father. However I grew up with brothers who I loved dearly and as Jesus is the "son" of God, I really felt comfortable relating to Jesus, I thought of Him as my special brother, and so I've always prayed...

    a gay brother

    Ted, as usual, I think you make a very interesting point here, I really like your posts. In my family as in others, every child has a very different personalty than the other. My father was a drunk, mother was very meek and mild in her response to him, each of us kids (I'm the baby at 60) did...

    a gay brother

    Thanks for your response Ted, and I'm sad to say that Michael isn't the only member of my family with homosexual traits. I had a niece who committed suicide several years ago and my daughter believes she is ... bi sexual ...and she reckons her...get this....her 6 yr old son...yes, that's what I...

    a gay brother

    Hi Ted, Yes, the person I speak of is my brother, his name is Michael. I have only posted what he has told me about how he believes about how he was born...as a homosexual, and I believe that he believes it is the truth. He said he's never felt an attraction towards women, even when he was...

    Jilted Ex-Boyfriend Puts Up Billboard Saying His Baby Was Aborted

    No, I didn't mean to sound if I condoned the abortion at all...I don't condone the murder of babies....I just think it wasn't .... VERY NICE ...... of the boyfriend to put it up all over the place on a bill board. I hear what you're all saying, maybe I worded my post wrongly. Sorry !!

    Time

    I believe there are people and cultures who live by different time or calendars from us, I think the Jews and Muslims might be a couple of them...but they also use western calendars as in BC (Before Christ) for the sake of modern finance and world economy etc. I know there was once something...

    My brother is also homosexual, he's 65 yrs old, his partner died about 20 years ago of AIDS, he hasn't had another partner. I love my brother to bits, he's a very special person. I have 2 other brothers who are hetrosexual, are married and have grown families. My brother, the gay one, says no...

    Jilted Ex-Boyfriend Puts Up Billboard Saying His Baby Was Aborted

    That's not very nice.....first off, if he was just her boyfriend and not her "husband" he shouldn't have gotten her pregnant in the first place.

    Why are you guys on here replying to the athiests?

    I think a lot of Christians set a bad example for non Christians in the way they dress and speak and act. I think particularly in young people, more modesty...not tight fitting clothes, not wearing bikinis at the beach, not drinking to excess or swearing would be a much better example to non...
