    Who here really believe that the world will end May 21, 2011?

    I find the "WeCanKnow" most disturbing. To me that is more or less a slap in the face to God - as if they are defying Him. The Bible says no man, yet, to me, it's as if they are saying "yes, we can." I don't know. That's just me.

    Involvement

    This really doesn't fit into the typical outreach or youth ministry. I'm a coordinator for the city's neighborhood watch program. If you know about the neighborhood watch, the majority of the groups stem from religious organizations and mainly consist of older individuals. I'm looking for...

    Unequally Yoked

    It's not his peers in the "youth" group. He worked as a youth leader. He was 27 and 28. These kids are 10-13 years old. He's really not into the community thing. Believe me. My job requires me to be community-oriented. He'd rather stay home most nights. He's not into hanging out with...

    Unequally Yoked

    I'm kinda dealing with the same thing. I have been with my bf for two years, going on our third. He will be 30 in November. He has had a lot of set backs in life and his family does not help. He does not have a driver's license, but wants me to help him study for it. He has a part-time job...

    OK. I just got the email from them. They accepted it. They sent me a sample contract for me to look over and see if I want to go further with it. :D

    Publisher

    I have been trying to recollect/edit two novels that I have written for a series. My flash drive where I stored my writing was stolen several months back. I have a hard copy and electronic copies of the story, however I was in the middle of editing it when it was stolen. I'm pretty sure that...

    Tradition???

    Even though no one has posted in this forum in months, I feel like I should update you all. Basically our church is no longer. One incident has spun our church out of control via hearsay, gossip and halftruths. A few members of the congregation started a petition to remove our pastor. When...

    Tradition???

    We have had several people visit but they don't come back. One I know personally who said that it was boring to him. Sunday was my frist Sunday back in regular church as I have been spending my time in Children's Church here recently. It was boring. There is no emotion behind anything but...

    Tradition???

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and to say that my church is dead. I can honestly say that "tradition" has killed it. The members go through the motions but they are not worshipping. You hear the expression "if it's not broke..." Well, it's broke and something needs to be done about it...

    Emotionally Drained

    He has a past quite like mine. He's dealt with a lot of liars and cheaters as have I. His last gf lied about her age and made him believe that her ex made her have an abortion. He always wants to talk about stuff, but never wants to bring up the past.

    Tradition???

    Don't get me wrong, I do love the tradition. Mainly because it reminds me of my childhood. :) I hate seeing BTS not being practiced in many churches. Anyways, I wish that they would kind of mix the two styles. Single a couple of hymns, sing a couple of modern worship songs. I don't see where...

    Tradition???

    I attend a small, Missionary Bapt Church. We average (if we are lucky) about 40-50 people for morning service and about 19 in Sunday School. They are very traditional and resistant in changing the slightest detail of services. For example: we have had several people suggest mixing in a few...

    Praying for another job.

    I'll be happy to remember you in my prayers. I'm actually in the same boat, myself (looking for another job). There's nothing in the current town I live in, so I'm having to look elsewhere, which will mean moving and leaving family. It's a scary decision. I wouldn't mind a few prayers...

    Sudden Behavior Changes

    I have a 3 (almost 4) month old Chihuahua. I've had her since she was 6 weeks old. She was doing great until the past week or two. She's a very friendly dog. She loves everyone she meets and loves attention. In the past few weeks, she has almost been timid of everything, jumps at the...
