ask away (2)

[mina]

yeah it's at the end of August.
My mom makes a BIG deal about birthdays. She calls me and sings and makes my fav. cake with candles.

I never know what to ask for on my birthday. I want to go out to eat at my favorite Thai resterant. I might ask for this mill machience thing so i can grind my own flour.

Last time you went camping?

Do you tithe?

How do you react when someone uses the name of the Lord in vain? What do you think "in vain" includes and excludes?

 

[mina]

Last time you went camping? my last year of college. My college was in the mountians so there were lots of parks and places to camp.

Do you tithe?yes

How do you react when someone uses the name of the Lord in vain? What do you think "in vain" includes and excludes?I don't like it, but i don't jump all over them either. If it's my niece or a kid in my class, i don't hesitate to tell them that i don't want to hear God's name used like that. I think "in vain" means not using God's name with respect- from cursing to just saying it in anger or mockingly.

I think that's really great you tithe....

Do you ever buy TV dinners?

Have you ever watched a program just for the commercials?

 

[mina]

i have bought tv dinners in the past, not lately

When i was smaller, i used to watch Nickeloden just to see the toy commercials or to see what was in a happy meal.

Largest crowd you've ever spoken in front of?

What's for breakfast?

 

[mina]

hmm i spoke in front of my church once, about maybe 75 people there


I dunno yet, i just woke up

 

[simmeringabsolute]

You woke up at noon? Guess I should have asked what's for lunch.

Does the date today being 7 - 7 - 07 hold any interest for you at all?

Have you ever gambled?

Do you know how to play poker?

 

[mina]

not really, i think it's the day the simpsons movie comes out, that's the only thing

not really, i bought a lottery ticket once or twice

no

What is your opinion on the new rule:

e. No more restriction of forums for non-Christians - if a non-Christian can walk into a church, a non-Christian can walk and post in any forum here. Some forums may still have gender or age restrictions, but the whole side, as should be any Christian site, will now be totally [OPEN].

 

[mina]

now that is a can of worms

I can see the good and the bad in it. The women's forum here has Christians and non Christians alike and it does well. The only time anyone has ever flamed me or been ugly about a post of mine or board stalked me; it was another Christian. I think the mods will be much more busy, b/c people like to push rules to see how far they can go and i think that will happen. I honestly don't think the site will change THAT much. If it does , it will be sad and i will leave. I hope that the elected mods will uphold the rules and respect for all that post in their forums. If a poster is being inflametory or disrespecful about God or the Christian faith, I would hope that there will be someone in charge that has some sort of power to intervene. I know that in this forum and in the women's forum (the 2 places i hang out most) when there has been a rude and downright mean poster, you could report them and it was taken care of. I think that needs to continue. My understanding of Erwin's explanation is that mods will be in place and they will uphold the rules of this forum. I hope those will be Christian based rules. I guess we will have to wait and see what will happen. I have concerns about the voting for mods being open to everyone. I hope there will be guidelines in place.

Do you often eat cereal?

Do you consider yourself to have a large appetite?

 

[mina]

I don't really like cereal, however i really like the new special K chocolately delight and i 've been eating that, b/c it has chocolate in it!

Yes, i eat all the time and can eat a lot. I must have a real fast metabolism b/c i'm skinny.

What were you up to today?

Have you read the book in your avatar?

 

[mina]

I was asleep until right before noon, it's been a lazy day. I went grocery shopping and cleaned a little and I soon have to cook some things to take to church tomoorrow. We take turns bringing things in for breakfast for Sunday school and tommorrow is my day.

Yes, a very long time ago.

 

[simmeringabsolute]
