I have on a few occassions for bachelor parties and such and I admit its not my thing but one time I noticed a guy who was very crippled. I am not sure what...

    Please pray for us tomorrow.

    This is hard for me to even talk about. About 8 years ago, childrens protective services wrongly took my brothers and sisters from my dad based on false information and they were placed into seperate group homes where they have barely seen each other let alone my dad or myself. My siblings...

    “You start from anywhere, but will end up with Jesus Christ” – Mahatma Gandhi.

    To answer your retorical question -- Its widely believed that Columbus wasn't the first to find America and that visitors, mostly Nordic with some being asian, came to the America's long before Columbus did. The America's however did not have much that was worth trading for given the distance...

    Is ki real?

    Interesting course of discussion... Here are some of my thoughts on the subject. Chi or Ki has a few meanings depending on the context in which its refered to, partially because Chi doesn't have a direct translation but this isn't english 101 so let me continue... As already...

    “You start from anywhere, but will end up with Jesus Christ” – Mahatma Gandhi.

    I tend to view religion as but a path to God with the different religions as the roads themselves. Actually, I tend to think that ones own spiritual path is ones own road to god and that road is unique for the individual. No one person, regardless of the religion, believe the same exact thing...

    A new 'christian' country?

    I think the problem with Isreal is that its a landmark location for three major religions. If Isreal were founded in say Mexico, I don't think they would be having the types of problems they are today but that in itself is another discussion.

    A new 'christian' country?

    I had an interesting thought which might make for a good topic of conversation... I believe that our founding fathers honestly intended for thier to be a seperation between the church and the state where neither gets into each others business. I think alot of people agree with that today...

    The Plan

    And right now, there are hundreds of thousands of arabs that feel the same exact way and look at all the great things that happened because of it! Oh, wait,... what great things, ... :sad:

    Dating before divorce

    I'm not sure about biblical reasons but the person may be rebounding (even if they were the one to initiate the divorce) and for that reason, dating during or right after the divorce may not be such a good idea.

    Blame birth control and the Pagans

    I find it sad that blame is being generalized upon a culture. Thats like saying all Arabs are terrorists or all minorities are uneducated or [insert your own analogy here]. I feel sad for such closed minded people. They are trying to preserve what they see as thier way of life but rather...

    Hey. Is anyone in here in foster care?

    FYI... there is an excluse on Fox 5 (nyc) news which had interviews from Social Workers who were forced to lie and falsify records to show that Social Workers were making the required visits. They were even required to falsify scenario's. This is terrible since the courts rely on this info.

    "The Silver Ring Thing" abstinence program produces....pregnancies.

    Speaking of the UK and pregnancy,.... (add in www before the url) observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,1212734,00.html I understand that premarital sex in any manner, shape, or form is a no-no in Christianity, but understanding that it will happen anyway - do you feel that...

    7 more seizures

    My ex-girlfriend suffers from mild seizures and she has seen improvement in the frequency of occurances by meditating. Meditating can be as simple as sitting quietly or with soft relaxing music playing and thinking healing thoughts or praying. I would recommend trying it as it may help...

    Hey. Is anyone in here in foster care?

    I've spent a night in a group home ... terrifying experience... in that one night night, someone got robbed, someone got shot, and everyone gets locked into room thats more like a cell each night. I can't imagine a child being taken from a home with worse conditions than that place. (No...
