    Computer Programs (Bible study tools)...

    Since my repeated emails to the company's tech support and customer service departments were going ignored, and my stepmom's email had apparently suffered the same fate, I finally placed an angry call to the customer service supervisor yesterday morning. While on the phone with her, apparently a...

    Computer Programs (Bible study tools)...

    I have been a QuickVerse user for over ten years, and have always been impressed with its quality, been faithfully purchasing the upgrades as they were released and never was disappointed -- until recently. Allow me to share my saga.... Unfortunately, the program is no longer owned by Parsons...

    Have you been in combat?

    I served over a year in a combat zone. Have seen and done things I never thought I would. Am forever changed as a result, just now beginning to manage my PTSD symptoms successfully. Have alienated most of my friends and family in the process. Was it worth it? Only God knows, in the end. In His...

    Is It Worth It?? :-/

    Is the military worth it? Hmmm, good question. I'm not sorry I went to Iraq, but I did come back permanently changed, and have lost most of my family and friends as a result. Pray hard about it. There are rewards, but heavy prices to pay as well. ~~Cheryl

    Prayers for Service Men and Women

    Hello all.... Back to CF now after an absence of over a year. Been a long, hard road "back" since I returned from Iraq in April '04. Also praying for those serving in the combat zone now, as well as those who return, forever changed.... Peace and blessings, ~~Cheryl

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Can we define "rational," and agree on a criteria for determining that a given person is, indeed, rational? ~~Cheryl

    Church of Scientology

    I went into Scientology believing that it was possible to embrace that belief system as a Christian. I was terribly wrong. ~~Cheryl

    Church of Scientology

    Sorry, but I wanted to defend the very sincere and devout Mormons I have known! I do NOT care to similarly defend Scientology, with which I have quite a bit of personal, painful experience! ~~Cheryl

    Church of Scientology

    In Iraq, we had a Reserve unit out of Salt Lake City attached to us. Most of them were Mormons, of course. One of them (Mark) was on my own team, in fact, and four lived in my tent. I had a discussion or three with Mark about religion, and I recall being struck by the pure love he exhibited...

    Church of Scientology

    I was a Scientology staff member for over two years. I can tell you that they do NOT believe in Jesus Christ, and are completely at odds with the Christian faith. ~~Cheryl

    Should Christians go to war?

    Amen, Wisdom_Seeker. Jesus didn't do computer tech support (man, have I ever gone off on a wrong track!! :D ) or invest in mutual funds, or even have to decide between products manufactured within the country versus outside! Would Jesus have driven an SUV? Who knows? Did He? Not at all -- in...

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Hi again.... I'm going to skip the parts you felt were off-topic, and go straight to our subject... :) Why not? What other kind of evidence do we have for any historical event? Do you believe that Hannibal crossed the Alps on elephants? If so, why? What physical evidence do we currently have for...

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    No, not to the actual event, that's true. But my point was that according to the only information available to us, it can be located at a specific place in a specific moment in time, not just a vague "once upon a time" sort of thing. Having said that, though, there were many reported witnesses...

    sex in marriage advice

    Well, I'm somewhat past that myself, but I'm not finding that to be the case at all! ;) Just a little hope out there for those whose spouses may be in their forties or later.... That's it, right there. There is no bigger turn-on than, "I want you, now, please!" Not, "I've gotta have 'it'"...

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Hello, Philo... finally catching up on my forum posts here.... :) Why is that? The resurrection occurred at an identifiable time and place: ancient Judea, on the third day after the crucifixion, did it not? (According to the Biblical accounts, anyway.) I realize that this issue is still under...

    Hang your head in shame America....

    Amen. And now we don't know how to stop it. God save us.... You know, there are very compelling reasons for why we acted when we did, though, rather than waiting for the blessing of the UN and other countries. One of them is a simple practical one: back at the beginning of the war, chemical...

    Hang your head in shame America....

    That's what I said: "They were firing weapons in the air." Why don't you tell me what "high powered technology" would have indicated to a helicopter flight crew that the fire they were apparently taking was from a wedding and not an insurgency operative??? It's easy to call them "dumb" from your...
