I'm a recent college drop-out. I don't think college is for me at all, not that I'm not smart and hard-working, it's just that I felt so wrong forcing myself to study for a future career (medicine) I did not want but was coerced into. I want to lead a very simple life, like that of a cashier in a bookstore or a waitress at a diner. Unfortunately, my parents do not agree with this and so they have kicked me out of the house. I'm a 19-year-old female, have no place to go (I'm secretly staying at a college friend's apartment), I don't own a car, and I am very short on money (just a little over $250). I feel that I need to get out of this state (Maryland) and go to a small city/town in the USA. So, I have 2 questions. #1 - What is a relatively safe and affordable US town/city to work and live in? #2 - What is the cheapest way I can get there?
I'm deathly scared for my future. I don't want to end up being taken advantage of or out on the streets. I am a really bright (1480 SAT score), a very hard working, and a good, Christian girl. I really didn't expect to be at such a crossroads in my life. I didn't think my parents would be so ... well, I don't know what adjective to use to describe them. I know it's silly to ask such an important, life-altering question on Yahoo! Answers, but I really have no one else to turn to or who I can trust at this point. So, your serious advice will really help me during this crisis. Thank you.
PS: If anyone out there is looking to "run away" from home as well, wherever you may be, please answer. It's much easier to start a new life along with someone else. I'm sorry if this is an outrageous request, but I really don't know what else to do. I'm completely panicking right now.Save me, please! I got kicked out of the house!?
Wow, what a difficult problem. I understand the idea of not wanting to go to College. But try to remember that you may change you mind later. Living the simple life at 20 is one thing. It is often not so satisfying at 45. It is very sad that your parents were unable to understand that you just weren't ready for college. What about other relatives who might help you out? You are putting yourself in a very awkward situation but you need to be very careful because there are many who will be willing to take advantage of you. Avoid big cities. Your best bet is a place like oregon or Washington state. They are liberal places with decent social organizations to help out young people, they are not too cold, at least on the coast, and there a lot of smal towns where you can make a new start.
My advise is try to reconcile with your parents and try to gather a small amount of money to make a new start.
Good luck and take care. Save me, please! I got kicked out of the house!?
OMG you dropped out of college so you can hook up with another runaway? How smart is that? Your SAT scores can't help you can they?
Maybe your best bet would be get back in college and move back home until you figure those things out. You need to have things lined up before you drop out of college. Do you know how many people would love to go to college?

He hung himself. What happens to his soul now?
I had a distant relative, who lived in a totally different country, far away from me. In 2003, I went to visit his family with my mum. He fell in love with me immediately. I did too (though not as serious as him). He wanted to marry me. I was only 21 and very afraid. Then I returned to my country and forgot about him. I told him it won't work out since his dad wouldn't agree (his dad just opposes love for no reason). I never thought about him till I visited his family again in 2006. I was there for 2 weeks but we never talked. Before I left, we got 30 minutes time alone. He took me to a bookstore (upon my request). I shopped and we returned. He teared and told me how much he still loved me.
I came back to my country again, feeling very depressed. I thought I will give him a chance again. I agreed to marry him and even resigned my job, ready to leave my country and be with him. But again, his father disagreed. Then I told him to come to my country instead. He said he can't saying that he's afraid something (like death) might happen to his dad. I was very upset, felt cheated, that he made me go thru so much, all my frens and family knew, I lost my job because of him and he was unwilling to even make a small sacrifice for me. I cried becoz I thought that if he really loved me, he would come and be with me, whether or not his father agrees.
I moved on, telling myself, I will never think of him again, for the pain he gave me and my family. Then he came. A year later, when I've already met my husband now. I refused to talk to him. I refused to even see him. And he left. I married my husband (whom he never met). Then he came again, last week. He stayed in my aunt's place. Throughout the time here, he kept telling them I didn't talk to him and how much he still loves me. He saw me and my husband and I only managed to say a "Hi." I didn't talk to him, although deep down inside, I wanted to say a few more things than just a hi. But I didn't because now I'm married, and he's not. I was afraid, that if I talk to him, I will cause him more pain. So I did not talk to him. So he returned to his country within 4 days. Then just 2 days ago, he hung himself in his room. Everyone blames his dad now (for not agreeing to let him marry me). I blame myself. I blame God. I blame life. My sis said he died and proved his love for me.
Why did he kill himself? Did he not know that there'll be many who will grief over his death? I can't help but cry. Why did he hang himself? What will happen to his soul now? There's plenty of Christian/Islamic belief that when one commits suicide, they will suffer for eternity and go to hell. I don't want that to happen to him. Is there a way I can save his soul? Is there a way I can say sorry?He hung himself. What happens to his soul now?
His soul has already moved on, and you may very well get the chance to talk to him, if you ever meet his latest incarnation. Suicide simply ends the evolution of the soul in that lifetime. If the lessons meant to be learnt by that soul in that lifetime haven't been then they will come back to learn them again, and this time round the Universe will make it impossible for them to avoid learning.
People attempt, and commit suicide for a number of reasons, and being someone who has made at least two attempts on their life, I can say you will never fully understand what drove them to it, even they didn't know fully why they were doing it. Their soul is safe, because no loving God would ever forsake a part of themselves, and we are all emanations from the divine source that is God. Know that they will be OK, and life will go on.
just pray for god to forgive him and pray for faith that he will be saved.
prayer and faith can be powerfull as you make it.He hung himself. What happens to his soul now?
Very sorry for your loss and complicated issue. However, you will find better answers in the mental health section as you are asking as to why he killed himself.
Personally, I don't believe souls exist (or hell for that matter - don't worry, he isn't burning in terrible agony. He's simply dead). Your memories of him will live on in you.
First of all this guy is a distant relative, and that is a big no-no to marry or have a relationship with--just common sense.
I have a very strong feeling his dad knew he was depressed or having some problems long before he met you, hence he strongly disagreed with the marriage. He knew something beforehand, and good thing because who knows if you did marry him how life would turn out?? This guy said he was concerned about his father's "death". Did his father in fact die or was he ill?? In talking about his father's "death", I believe he was talking about his own situation--a CRY for HELP.
God knows his situation, depression, and why he hung himself.......
God loves each and every one of us, so don't blame yourself or anyone else. This guy chose what he did, and he leaves behind so much sorrow. God bless his dear soul.He hung himself. What happens to his soul now?
He's NOT in torment! He's *asleep* in death---*unconcious*.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Death is the end of life; there's nothing after that.
Fear of death is the primary cause of religious belief.
Forgive yourself %26amp; ask God to help you to move on; no, there is no way you can save his soul, Jesus died for all our sins %26amp; it's up to us to accept Him as our Saviour %26amp; live for Him. Concerning your friend, only God knows where he is spending eternity, he may have had a few seconds or minutes to repent before he took his last breath. He is now in the hands of a living God. Keep praying for strength %26amp; know that Christ died for you too %26amp; He is right there with you.
Depends on your perspective, from my perspective his father was probably old or maybe had a type of sickness, you didn't provide that much information about that. But still you shouldn't have been mad at him. Hes trying to take care of his dad. This is a big thing in the Islamic religion. Parents come before almost anything. Be respectful and take care of them, instead lets say his father has a type of sickness where he is unable to live without his son. Then without the help of his son, his father would pass away. My point of view is you shouldn't have been mad at him but just kept trying to convince your dad. Cant blame him for trying to help out his dad. In Islam you are not allowed to commit suicide of any kind. You will be sentenced to hell, theres just no way he can be helped now. Its the afterlife and Allah will decide his fate.
You just did..No one ever dies but only change form.(no exceptions) All of us are immortal as all souls are a part of God.There is no such place as hell except in the minds of man. The moment of death is the most glorious moment in every life..It is normal to mourn the loss of someone special for a while but foolishness to continue mourning..Those that have returned to God are able to know our thoughts so there is nothing else you need to say or do.. God bless
This is a sad ending for a tortured soul. He chose to stop his sufferings this way. The past is over,there is no point blaming anyone.
No words can change the tragedy. Time heals all woulds.He had free his soul from hurting so there is nothing to save. Save yourself and be strong.
He killed himself because he had a mental illness and was unable to deal with all the things in his life. It was no one's fault, not yours, not his, not his fathers, although his father, if all this is true, may well have a mental illness as well. There is no shame in mental illness, and it causes one to be unable sometimes to tell right from wrong, and do things that one would normally not do. I think that if any god existed, he would be wise enough to have to allow for the innocent, the children, the mentally unstable, and anyone else who for a moment or a lifetime cannot distinguish right from wrong would not be held accountable for his actions.
In the Bible (unlike in some churches) the soul is the person, himself. Just like a doctor is the person. If a soul dies, the person is dead which is why the flood is reported to have only spared 8 souls. Obviously he was a troubled young man and it sounds very much like that was the case long before you met him. Rest assured that the Bible hell is simply the common grave of mankind and it will give up it's dead and be destroyed once God's Kingdom government with Jesus Christ as it's heavenly king has taken over the earth. Then, those who have died will be resurrected and have all their wounds (even the emotional ones) healed. Go to God (Psalm 83:18) in prayer and tell him how you feel. Then, let him bear the burden of your sorrow and trust him to help you let go.
I came back to my country again, feeling very depressed. I thought I will give him a chance again. I agreed to marry him and even resigned my job, ready to leave my country and be with him.

Has anyone ever told you your child will grow up to be somebody special?
has anybody ever told you that your child will brow up to be somebody special or that they have a gift?
when my son was about mmm not quite 2, i think, i had this tarot card deck and i sometimes let my son gavin look at the cards. many times he would bring the nine of swords card up to me and say (and sign) "sorry". i had no clue why he was doing this, so i went to my local metaphysical bookstore where i knew the owner who knew about tarot cards. she said that he would grow up to be a "warrior", that he would be somebody that will make a difference. he will be strong and confident.
i don't know if that will turn out to be true, but it made me feel really good to hear somebody say that about my son!
please no comments about how you think tarot cards are bull****. it's something that i really believe in. it would be like me saying that believing and praying in the Christian God is bull****, so please no rude comments.Has anyone ever told you your child will grow up to be somebody special?
I think it all depends on how your son chooses to live his life. I do believe that each and every person has their own special gift. But it is up to that person to develop this gift. I think since he has you as his mother that is a gift in itself as you are there to help give him the resources he need to develop and grow into his own power. Have you read anything about indigo children?
my daughter
After she sings in a show or anything random people come up and say "Wow she's going to be a singer!"
Also once she was talking to a friend of mine he asked her how her day was, ETC... and instead of just mumbling ok she said Very good, Hows yours?
Not trying to brag so I'm going to say that a lot of people tell children and you'll be very good at this and you'll never know yet!Has anyone ever told you your child will grow up to be somebody special?
My 7 year old daughter is very good at ballet. A couple of months ago her ballet teacher said that she is on her way to being as amazing as Darcy Bussell (famous ballet dancer). I couldn't stop smiling all day!
She has her grade 2 ballet exam next week!
My best friends Mother used to tell everyone how special my friend would grow up to be - let me tell you, this had a profound effect on how my friend viewed her Mother, and what her personality turned out to be like. She HATED the fact that her Mother put such a "higher" expectation on her, and hated her Mother believing that she even WANTED to be "better" or "superior" to anyone else.
Oh believe me, she grew up to be strong, but far from in a good way, and she ended up being one of the most insecure people I know. We are both 53 now - she has been married 4 times and cannot make any relationship last. Her Mother ended up catching some rare disorder that made her gain over a hundred pounds and ruined her kidney function. To this day, my friend has an almost non existent relationship with her Mother.
It is extremely irresponsible of any parent to put such credence on any form of witchcraft. Card readers do this for MONEY, they in no way have special powers - and neither do the CARDS. You or I can purchase any kind of tarot deck and just follow the instructions. Believing in anything a card reader tells you is just stupid - history has proved this to be true. Believe in what you want - just be prepared to pay the price for doing so.Has anyone ever told you your child will grow up to be somebody special?
wow that is a huge compliment from this man. It makes every mommy proud to hear someone say your child has true genes for this or your child is special. I have never used tarot cards but they sound interesting. I have 6 kids and some lady came up to me and told me that all of my kids are so beautiful and she told me what occupations all of my kids are "going" to have. I do not know if it was true but I guess we will find out. (: here are the occupations; I wrote them down but also remembered so here we go;

Have you ever met a really crazy fundamentalist before?
The following video is from a reality wipe swapping show. Check out this woman freaking out because the family she was traded to was not Christian (you'll have to fast forward to around the 50 second mark because it doesn't show her until then):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TJLOGI2Odc
I used to think that people like this didn't exist. I used to think that the stories I've heard like this were all exaggerations.
Then, last summer, this lady came into the bookstore where I worked and she started freaking out over all the Harry Potter stuff.
She ordered some coffee and got upset that "a witch" was on her cup. She then proceeded to tell us that this was a ticket straight to Hell and that those Harry Potter books were nothing but demonology (we didn't even bring up the topic, she just volunteered to give us her opinion).
So, have you ever met a fundamentalist that crazy before?
Do you have any stories of your own?Have you ever met a really crazy fundamentalist before?
I live in the bible belt, I meet them all the time.
Nope, she need to get off the brainwashing.Have you ever met a really crazy fundamentalist before?
Hell...I've got three cousins that bad. I get them going every time I'm around them. It's usually pretty easy to. They really flipped when I brought Tarot cards to a family function. I did it just to yank their chain and it worked.
Have a couple in my family who always go off on Harry Potter, I just roll my eyes and have a drink.Have you ever met a really crazy fundamentalist before?
wow. I hope you mentioned to her that Rowling is very religious, and the books have some great religious undertones or even great metaphors on how to life a better life. If something that has as many good morals as Harry Potter is satanic, than so are all those other stories about magic, like Cinderilla.
I bet she hasn't even read them.
Yep. I have, she prophesies and thinks God talks to her. And she supposedly casts out demons. She is really scary. She thinks she can direct everyones lives, and is so full of hate towards other religions it isn't even funny.
I told her her dreams weren't prophetic visions, but delusions, and the voices in her head aren't God, that she should probably get on medication for those things, because she is freakin' insane!
wow.........you could just see her brain melting fully........I predict the local asylum was summoned soon after......
That is creepy.....Luckily I haven't met anyone in real life like that. Only people online. Same old story, I'm going straight to hell for being Catholic.
Shrugs, I'm used to it by now.
I would call myself a Biblical fundamentalist. I don't think she represents people like me. She seems more like a Charismatic/dominionist. Do you know the difference?
I have never met people like her and I know that the Bible doesn't teach us to act like that. Jesus didn't go crazy around the unbelieving. Why is she? I don't. It seems like she's putting on a show, but I don't know her heart.
She needs to calm down. Jesus said that noone can come to him unless the Father draws him.
We, as believers, are to act as vessels through which God can show his love and mercy to the lost. I don't know how she acted while she was at thier house, but this doesn't look to me to be right.
Please accept my apologies on her behalf.
haha I live in a christian fundie town and there are people like that all over the place. They have signs in their yards that say all kinds of weird things. One of them has a sign that says "UN free zone" and a picture of a cross with Homeland Security on it..
And btw I have met someone like that lady once. she flipped the hell out cause I had a bumper sticker on my car that said Sinner on it .(she'd love the one that says "just another souless atheist in search of world peace and harmony" and for such a small town there sure are a lot of STUPID people living here) haha
Not personally -- but those Westboro Church people are pretty "out there."

I used to think that people like this didn't exist. I used to think that the stories I've heard like this were all exaggerations.
Then, last summer, this lady came into the bookstore where I worked and she started freaking out over all the Harry Potter stuff.
She ordered some coffee and got upset that "a witch" was on her cup. She then proceeded to tell us that this was a ticket straight to Hell and that those Harry Potter books were nothing but demonology (we didn't even bring up the topic, she just volunteered to give us her opinion).
So, have you ever met a fundamentalist that crazy before?
Do you have any stories of your own?Have you ever met a really crazy fundamentalist before?
I live in the bible belt, I meet them all the time.

Is my church greedy, please answer?
My church is not just any church. It has a stage and lights, cameras, Christian rock (with drumsets and electric guitars), and two huge screens, a Cafe (to get coffee before service or to watch the service from), bookstore, and each service usually consists of 600-700 people.
Here's a video of the service: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhDkm3r99鈥?/a>
There is someone who talks of course. It's not just music.
Pic of building: http://www.cclassociates.com/pub/photos/鈥?/a>Is my church greedy, please answer?
Regardless of whether they admit it or not, all churches need money to survive, that's why they have collection plates, donations, tithes, whatever.
It seems to me that the money spent at that church to bring in more money for that church (ie, the bookstores, the cafe) could be better spent on charity work.
So perhaps, but maybe not any more than many other churches.
Then your church is not a church it's not a place of worship it's a mall leave it and find a real church.Is my church greedy, please answer?
All churches are to some degree. Why do you think they pass collection? Does god need money? I seriously doubt it. Yeah I know the money is used for this or that, but it still comes down to some amount of greed. This church wants to be bigger than that one or have a nicer play ground or whatever.
What is your question? You're just complaining about your church.... which you should be faithful to! Why do you even go there if you don't like it? Pick a church that helps you worship the Lord in a great way and stick to it; and it doesn't matter what kind of camera your church has!!Is my church greedy, please answer?
If that is the type of service members of the Congregation enjoy, they have to raise the funds some how. It costs money to have those types of lavish programs.
Personally I think all that money could be better spent.
I cannot answer this just from what you have here. Many churches today are adding some fluff to get the youth interested. It's hard to compete with XBox.

Why did he hang himself?
I had a distant relative, who lived in a totally different country, far away from me. In 2003, I went to visit his family with my mum. He fell in love with me immediately. I did too (though not as serious as him). He wanted to marry me. I was only 21 and very afraid. Then I returned to my country and forgot about him. I told him it won't work out since his dad wouldn't agree (his dad just opposes love for no reason). I never thought about him till I visited his family again in 2006. I was there for 2 weeks but we never talked. Before I left, we got 30 minutes time alone. He took me to a bookstore (upon my request). I shopped and we returned. He teared and told me how much he still loved me.
I came back to my country again, feeling very depressed. I thought I will give him a chance again. I agreed to marry him and even resigned my job, ready to leave my country and be with him. But again, his father disagreed. Then I told him to come to my country instead. He said he can't saying that he's afraid something (like death) might happen to his dad. I was very upset, felt cheated, that he made me go thru so much, all my frens and family knew, I lost my job because of him and he was unwilling to even make a small sacrifice for me. I cried becoz I thought that if he really loved me, he would come and be with me, whether or not his father agrees.
I moved on, telling myself, I will never think of him again, for the pain he gave me and my family. Then he came. A year later, when I've already met my husband now. I refused to talk to him. I refused to even see him. And he left. I married my husband (whom he never met). Then he came again, last week. He stayed in my aunt's place. Throughout the time here, he kept telling them I didn't talk to him and how much he still loves me. He saw me and my husband and I only managed to say a "Hi." I didn't talk to him, although deep down inside, I wanted to say a few more things than just a hi. But I didn't because now I'm married, and he's not. I was afraid, that if I talk to him, I will cause him more pain. So I did not talk to him. So he returned to his country within 4 days. Then just 2 days ago, he hung himself in his room. Everyone blames his dad now (for not agreeing to let him marry me). I blame myself. I blame God. I blame life. My sis said he died and proved his love for me.
Why did he kill himself? Did he not know that there'll be many who will grief over his death? I can't help but cry. What will happen to his soul now? There's plenty of Christian/Islamic belief that when one commits suicide, they will suffer for eternity and go to hell. I don't want that to happen to him. Is there a way I can save his soul? Is there a way I can say sorry? Why did he hang himself?
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. You do not have any responsibility for this happening. When someone has that innate depression and doesn't get help this can happen for any reason this just happened to be the time. He was responsible for getting help for himself and he didn't. God forgives I truly believe. He was not a bad man and nobody can be blamed for what happened. Maybe it would help for you to have a session or two of therapy to talk this out with a professional who will be more able to help you. Please take care, my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Lfie can be cruel and sometimes people forget life is work and can be very hard and trying at times i'm sorry for your loss Most people who commit suicide are doing it for selfish reasons and forget those whom love them most. I feel for you more than i do him. The best thing is to live your life and remember how it feels and make sure everyone you love knows you care. Bless ya bothWhy did he hang himself?
This happened similar to my dad's friend, he was in love with one girl very deeply, and they were bf and gf and the girl broke up with him for some reason. Then the guy drugged him self and he died. Some guys desire there life to one person, and yes you may feel guilty, but you didn't kill him , he killed himself, he was foolish because he told you he loved you and all but he didn't make any sacrifices for you. It's ok , don't feel bad, he killed him self because he felt guilty, and he thought life was over because you found someone else. Nothing bad will happen to him. When someone dies, their dead, nothing else happens. That's it, you die, and your dead, not much I can say about it.
Sounds pretty clear to me, he did it because of you.
His soul is doomed to return %26amp; do it over again until he gets it right. YOu can say sorry thru a clairvoyant or medium like John Edwards.Why did he hang himself?
The blame game is ridiculous, him hanging himself has nothing to do with you, his father, or God. The guy had serious mental problems for longer than you knew him. He chose to do what he did, because he did not see his own value as a human being. I repeat it had nothing to do with you, if you feel you have to blame someone (which is wasted energy) blame him he is the one who made the choice to hang himself. I'm sorry for the family's loss, but don't put the blame where it doesn't belong.

Is this Religious Intolerance at its Best?
My local bookstore has made some changes.......most of the section on Religion is filled with Bibles or books on Christianity, 18 sections in all, not counting the 12 sections on Christian Fiction. There is 1/3 of a section filled with books on Islam. The remaining sections were designated to Christianity. I asked about Zen and Buddhism.....the attendant apologized and told me, "Those are not really considered religion.....they are Philosophy." I asked where the Philosophy section was located, as Philosophy previously abutted Religion. I was surprised to find it across the store, in a corner behind Modern Fiction. Previously, Philosophy occupied 10 to 12 sections. Now there was a mere 2 sections. The 2 were separated by a doorway. The second section was on 2/3 full. I am thinking that censure is unnecessary if one simply eliminates what one does not agree with.....Free Enterprise and all....one may sell what one chooses.Is this Religious Intolerance at its Best?
Christianity is in its death throes so they will try and censure as much as possible but the end is near for them.
Thank you.
No, you're in a Judeo-Christian culture.
I noticed similar at our book stores
things like Wicca were put in the myths section
no it isnt right and also makes it difficult to read up on religionsIs this Religious Intolerance at its Best?
Ask for the manager or owner. State you will never buy another book there. Money talks.
if I owned that book store religious books would be in the mythology section
Buy a Kindle and shop Amazon exclusively.
It's unfortunate that no one cares about philosophy these days. Just mythology.
Looking around today and looking back on Religious history, was there ever such a thing as Religious tolerance?
I wouldn't call it "intolerance". From a business standpoint, i'm sure the owner of the store decided that the types of books you were looking for didn't sell enough to keep them on the shelves. He instead filled those shelves with stuff that will sell. This is how you keep your business running. Has nothing to do with their personal preference. That's why its called a bookstore, and not a library.
no its not religious intolerance
its supply and demand
if 75% of your clients are christian then you stock your store with what the majority of your clients want.
since they will look for christian material the store stocks what sells.
if only 1 percent of the customers are looking for books on zen, they are not going to have a lot of books on zen on hand.
It has a lot more to do with what sells. Bookstores aren't there to give every point of view equal space, they are there to make a profit.
I think you should thank the store-keeper to give a better title to Buddhism and Zen. I mean putting them in Philosophy section is a good and sophisticated idea. Everybody knows they are religions and those religions are really great that are handy and undisputed enough to be kept in Philosophy section. I feel very happy when I see the Vedas in the philosophy section of my library (but they are kept in religious section too) and keeping them in Philosophy section really matters a lot for me.
btw, very nice and subtle observation !
The Scriptures teach us that there is only one way to please God and that is through believing the Gospel of the coming kingdom.

Do you think he likes me?
I''m 16 and going to be a junior, he's 15 and going to be a sophomore. I've known him since 2nd semester last year, but we just started talking more recently. We saw each other at the bookstore, and I just saw him looking at me, but I didn't know it was him right away cuz it was just out of the corner of my eye. Once I saw it was him, we waved to each other, and then I went back to him and we talked a little. That's not normal for me to just go up to a guy, cuz usually I'm a lot more shy than that. I asked for his phone number before I left, and we've texted a little every few days or so. He always has smiley faces in his texts, and he's really friendly and easy to talk to. He's a Christian like me, and lives kinda close to me. My mom already likes him, and my dad thinks he's nice even though he hasn't met him (my mom told him about him). lol. But it's hard for me to tell if a guy likes me. I really like him, but I don't know if he likes me back or not. I added him on facebook and he liked one of my posts, but that's just a facebook thing. Do you think he likes me? Should I text him again soon or wait until he texts me this time?Do you think he likes me?
1st i'd like to say, I'm a follower of Christ and gunna be a junior too! Go us!! haha
o.k. to answer your question now :)
well I guess I'm kinda of old fashioned, but I dont care. I think you should wait till he text you and tells you if he likes you or not. I know it seems like alot to just sit there and wait, but it will pay off in the end when he's the one asking you on dates and charming you and stuff then vice versa.
It seems like he could. Smiley faces are always good and flirty :) haha. at least for guys. you guys seem like you talk alot. See if he wants to hang out, just as friends. Its a lot easier to flirt in person! good luck!Do you think he likes me?
There seems to be some interest. Keep up the flirting, you are doing it perfectly. Seems like you guys are heading towards a relationship. From what you are telling me, he seems like a nice guy so I would go for it if I were you! :)
hmm, just txt him and be lik, hey wanna hang out? or hey meet me wit _________ at _____. It doesnt have to be a date. Kinda make him like you. But i think he likes u as a friend.
Good Luck :)Do you think he likes me?
i think he is interested.
just keep flirting it up but dont make yourself too available.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
let him chase you...but still be nice and flirstatious in the meantime. Just relax and try to be his friend first.

That is just your dad's own opinion. Some share it but many do not.
Read a bible that you can understand first of all. If you want to go up (or down) the ladder to the KJV at some future date that should be your choice. If you start with one in modern English and learn from that you can then start looking at others. It is often helpful to have a few and then, if a verse causes some confusion you can cross reference and possibly see more clearly what it is saying to you.
Don't worry about all the other nationalities you mention. The bible has been translated into almost all languages of the world. Very few people do not have access to the bible these days. The ones to worry about and pray for are those in countries where it is illegal to own one.Why is the bible writen in english??
The King James Bible is a translation commissioned by King James I of England aka King James VI of Scotland in 1611. In modern editions there is a glossary at the back for all those words that are no longer used in modern English.
Since then the Bible has been translated into most languages, including Spanish, Arabic and Russian.
there are many versions of the Bible. I think the best one is textus receptus, which is actually the original Greek language of the New Testament. The Old Testament was written in hebrew. in 1600, king james hired scholars or something to translate all the hebrew and greek to english. hence the KJV. now there are many language translations to the KJV. it is not JUST in English. you can find it in russian, spanish, hawaiian arabic, and most languages out there. the catholic and good news bible are different then the kjv. catholics do not believe all of the kjv. they believe that works will get them into heaven, and that is not what the Bible says. look up Ephesians 2:8-9.
all in all, there are many many many translationsWhy is the bible writen in english??
The original bibles have been written in Greek. So to get the true essence of the word of god we should read the bible in Greek. Im taklking of the new testament of coarse. Then King James commissioned his scholars to translate it into English. Back in the times when Jesus was born the whole known world spoke Greek. Thanks to Alexander the Great. Even their cousins the Romans spoke Greek. But later when the world (america) was founded slowly the language known around the world became English and Spanish, Slowly we are seeing less english and more Spanish. But the bibles original writtings are still available in Greek and Aramaic in Greece and Palestine(or Israel).
Your question is puerile. Ask the |Rosetta stone.
It reminds me of a Californian State Senator campaigning against Spanish being made an official language.
He spouted: "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ and good enough for the bible, it's good enough for me."
Vice -president Dan Quayle on a trip to Latin America said he wished he'd learnt Latin at school.

the Bible is written in English so that English speaking people can understand the language.. but you should know that it IS translated in 100's of languages... check www.biblegateway.com
1. It's written in Early Modern English which was used during the 1600s. Old english was used in the Early Middle Ages and you would not be able to understand it.
2. Multiple translations.
the bible has been translated into many languages. the originals are not english. there are now bibles that are easier to read, like "the message" by eugene h. peterson
use a concordence....its explains things, or a dictionary....the bible is not hard to understand.....and by the way, have you ever prayed and ask God to open your mind and your heart to His word?.....
It wasn't originally written in english, it was transcribed in other languages the same way they do it now with other books.
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew
But it has been translated into different languages and versions for people to have a better understanding of the Bible.
Thankfully the Bible has been translated into many different languages, so Christians around the world can read it.

What do you think about this quote against Atheism?
"Atheism is a strong and growing influence in our culture. You can see it everywhere from the bestseller table at your local bookstore to the Darwin-mutated Jesus fish on the car in traffic in front of you. Atheists are comfortable declaring themselves atheists, comfortable promoting atheism, and comfortable decrying religion, which, according to some of the more prominent atheists, resides on the list of mankind's blessings somewhere between diphtheria and Nazism."
What does that mean - between diphtheria and Nazism? And how does this quote make you feel? Are you an Atheist or Christian?
This quote is from "How To Talk To An Atheist About Christianity" by Jason Anderson and Jennifer Fulwiler. I was assigned to read it in my religion class.What do you think about this quote against Atheism?
It sounds like it was written by someone who is so insecure when it comes to his own faith, that the idea of someone expressing a different point of view scares the hell out of him. He is afraid it might cause him to actually rethink his own beliefs. Notice that he doesn't say that the existence of atheists prevents him from worshiping the way he wants to. He doesn't like the fact that atheists, people who differ from him only in that they don't believe in a God, exist at all.
It makes several bare assertions (several of which are demonstrably false), and is a fallacious appeal to consequences.
So it's ridiculous and worthless.
Peace.
p.s. "between diphtheria and Nazism" means the person is claiming that atheists consider religion to be a "plague" on humanity. Some do, some don't -- but neither is part of "atheism," which is nothing but a lack of belief in claimed magical gods.What do you think about this quote against Atheism?
The meaning of 'Diphtheria and Nazism' are unimportant; you should remember this in your religious class:
Atheist do believe in God and here is why.
They constantly ask questions about something, which too them does not exist, now if God does not exist-
a) why ask questions about the non-existence of something, it is not there, therefore there is no need to questions it, is there?
b) because it shows even if only on the 'subconscious level,' that atheist believe in God through their constant questioning about Him.
The great Carl Jung would have a field day; from a psychological point, with some of the so-called atheist on R/S.
Moreover, recent research has show that even the atheist are the first too cry out the Lords name in some way when involved in a dire situation, such as a car crash, they utter phrase's like, oh God, Jesus, or oh Lord, all of which are cries for help from someone whom they claim does not exist what does that say about their psychological state and their subconscious beliefs?
Diptheria is a disease, and many people equate religion with a social disease.
Nazism obviously stems from Hitler, who believed in a god. The holocaust was performed to comply with what hitler believed was the will of the 'almighty creator'. Nazism was based on certain beliefs and ideologies, in the same way religion is.What do you think about this quote against Atheism?
Atheism is not strong nor growing. True aetheists represent 4% of the the US population. They do have a powerful lobby because our politicians accept the silly notion of separation of church and state to mean that no publicly funded institution is allowed to make a reference to God.
I welcome the thumbs down :)
Jason %26amp; Jennifer are making a sweeping generalisation about atheists and how we think religion is terrible (i.e. as bad as diptheriea, the disease, and fascism).
If you paid for this book I'd take it back, I'd also tell your teacher to find something more objective.
I have tried several tools of traffic generation, the best I used for my websites is the FMT software Try it out and let me know!!! I managed to have my webpage www.childrensplaysets.org on the second page of Google search results.
Good luck
I'm glad we are at last being noticed as a force for the truth rather than superstition.
However isn't it typical of a Christian to start using extreme words such as diphtheria and nazism to stir up fear and hatred.
I think this quote promotes intolerance. What is christian about intolerance?
I appreciate you thinking critically about what you are reading.
Blown-out-of-proportion, hate fuelled, ignorant, fear-mongering nonsense.
Atheist.
The quote is inflammatory, inaccurate and intolerant.
I am a Christian
I think it's a very good quote and I wish I'd thought of it my self!
I don't see how it is 'against atheism'. It's a strong statement, but it could be interpreted either way.
um...I'm confused? i don't know if i should be mad or not?

It's our low opinion of religion.
How do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
I really considered my religion as a wiccan but my mom told me that we are something that defines the we believe in God but I'm not sure I do it's NTH PERSONAL 2 ANY 1. When my step-team were done performing @ this local bookstore I came across this book *Note that it was a teen with for the new generation*
I done all my research and am prepared but not prepared. I always felt more of a great pull towards that religion and I have done spells it was all good except 1 of 'em i burnt the paper and the smoke turned yellow for sme reason. I have a friend who's a witch seriously and talked to me about everything. I wld rather face my mom then my dad because with stuff like this he's has this really scary seriousness and he's a christian and is part of this huge group which is such a big deal I think and they really make me sick with everything. I've considered this for a long time.
The thing is what should I do cause both my parents are sorta strict but me and my mom have a big mother daughter relationship and I'm such a daddy's girl my grandma is always mentioning GOD and everything gives me headaches.
IF UR GOING TO BE RUDE ABOUT IT THEN DONT COMMENT/ANSWER CAUSE THIS IS NOT A JOKEHow do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
I understand where you are coming from. I grew up in a strict Christian family. I always felt there was more to it. I was in 6th grade at the time when I first discovered Wicca, I was drawn to it instantly. I felt like it was right it was where I belonged. I kept it hidden as well as I could but not even in to 3 weeks of taking the reed mom found out. She had been doing laundry and putting things away when she found my Book Of Shadows. She ripped and burned it before my eyes. She told me it was devil's work and I would burn for eternity if I did not pray for forgiveness. I did not let my mom dictate my life I continue to practice almost 7 years later. My mother still hates that part of me. Please take my advise it will make things so much easier. Wait till your older. I wished I had waited till I was 18 to tell my mother. I learned from my mistake. Trust your heart you will know when the time is right.How do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
It sounds like there is a battle going on here Wiccan vs Christian or Evil vs Good to put it another way and your in the middle of the struggle.
From a Christians point of view Wiccan is simply Satan's work, trying to pull you away from the Christian life and the truth, light and life found in Jesus.
It sounds like you may have got into this Wiccan stuff through your witch friend.
Be Aware, The Wiccan stuff may be exciting and good on the surface but underneath it's not.
On the up side its a positive sign that the enemy of this world (Satan) is trying to get you away from the church, because it means you are seen by the enemy as a great threat to him, you could be destined for great things in the Church and Satan is doing all he can to try and get you away from this.
Im not really convinced you know exactly what your getting into.
Satan's very sneaky, he was back in the garden of eden and he still is now, He will use friends and those that worship him, (ie. Anyone not worshipping Jesus) whether that be by witchcraft or simply those who Self-Worship (ie. make a God of themselves) to get you away from the truth or try to get at or cause upset to family members.
There are many ways Satan tries to get you away from the Church but be wiser than the snake.
By the grace and truth found in Jesus you will overcome the enemy too.
Other things to be aware of at your young age can be found here, http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/
Satan will use all kind of ways to trap you and get you worshipping him, Be wise, don't be fooled.How do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
I wouldn't say anything at all to them just yet. To be honest your age will prevent them from respecting your decision. If you still feel this way when you are 23, then maybe go for it.
A word to the wise though, do not do spells until you fully understand what you are doing. There is more to it than lighting some candles and saying some words. Those words you are saying mean something and just because you are reading them out of a book does not mean they are accurate or trustworthy. In this day and age anyone can publish a book and I have found books that are not 100% what they claim to be, and please don't believe everything that you read on the internet. You never know who these people really are. Yes, myself included.
Though many people will deny it, something you should realize is that there is not a huge difference between Christianity and Wicca. When your family says, 'Praise God', you can silently add in your mind, "And the Goddess". Don't get angry at your family for believing the way they do.
And, no slam to your friend who is a witch, but the both of you should be very careful. At this stage of the game, learn everything that you can and I mean do some heavy research. Understand why spells and prayers work, fully know the pantheon of Gods and Goddesses from every religion, practice pulling energy to you, but until you know what you are doing and why it works the way it does do not push it out.
I done all my research and am prepared but not prepared. I always felt more of a great pull towards that religion and I have done spells it was all good except 1 of 'em i burnt the paper and the smoke turned yellow for sme reason. I have a friend who's a witch seriously and talked to me about everything. I wld rather face my mom then my dad because with stuff like this he's has this really scary seriousness and he's a christian and is part of this huge group which is such a big deal I think and they really make me sick with everything. I've considered this for a long time.
The thing is what should I do cause both my parents are sorta strict but me and my mom have a big mother daughter relationship and I'm such a daddy's girl my grandma is always mentioning GOD and everything gives me headaches.
IF UR GOING TO BE RUDE ABOUT IT THEN DONT COMMENT/ANSWER CAUSE THIS IS NOT A JOKEHow do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
I understand where you are coming from. I grew up in a strict Christian family. I always felt there was more to it. I was in 6th grade at the time when I first discovered Wicca, I was drawn to it instantly. I felt like it was right it was where I belonged. I kept it hidden as well as I could but not even in to 3 weeks of taking the reed mom found out. She had been doing laundry and putting things away when she found my Book Of Shadows. She ripped and burned it before my eyes. She told me it was devil's work and I would burn for eternity if I did not pray for forgiveness. I did not let my mom dictate my life I continue to practice almost 7 years later. My mother still hates that part of me. Please take my advise it will make things so much easier. Wait till your older. I wished I had waited till I was 18 to tell my mother. I learned from my mistake. Trust your heart you will know when the time is right.How do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
It sounds like there is a battle going on here Wiccan vs Christian or Evil vs Good to put it another way and your in the middle of the struggle.
From a Christians point of view Wiccan is simply Satan's work, trying to pull you away from the Christian life and the truth, light and life found in Jesus.
It sounds like you may have got into this Wiccan stuff through your witch friend.
Be Aware, The Wiccan stuff may be exciting and good on the surface but underneath it's not.
On the up side its a positive sign that the enemy of this world (Satan) is trying to get you away from the church, because it means you are seen by the enemy as a great threat to him, you could be destined for great things in the Church and Satan is doing all he can to try and get you away from this.
Im not really convinced you know exactly what your getting into.
Satan's very sneaky, he was back in the garden of eden and he still is now, He will use friends and those that worship him, (ie. Anyone not worshipping Jesus) whether that be by witchcraft or simply those who Self-Worship (ie. make a God of themselves) to get you away from the truth or try to get at or cause upset to family members.
There are many ways Satan tries to get you away from the Church but be wiser than the snake.
By the grace and truth found in Jesus you will overcome the enemy too.
Other things to be aware of at your young age can be found here, http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/
Satan will use all kind of ways to trap you and get you worshipping him, Be wise, don't be fooled.How do I explain my choice easily to my mom?
I wouldn't say anything at all to them just yet. To be honest your age will prevent them from respecting your decision. If you still feel this way when you are 23, then maybe go for it.
A word to the wise though, do not do spells until you fully understand what you are doing. There is more to it than lighting some candles and saying some words.

Some people hate God so much that they are negative about anything that has 'God' word in it, why?
My friend recently told me that whenever she speak of God or Jesus people are becoming negative toward her. When she purchased a card with little Jesus on it for her classmate the girl was offended. A clerk in a bookstore made face on her because she was asking for book on natural medicine and wind-up getting a book (on natural medicine) called: God's Medicine Is Best by Linda Wise. Just because there is a religious input in all this many people are upset. Why? America was built on Christian values and God was and will be a big part of American lives. Why this changes??Some people hate God so much that they are negative about anything that has 'God' word in it, why?
it's the result of the homosexual agenda which began in the red-running gutters of the Castro District and Noe Valley.
America was founded on secular values because the founding fathers had seen what happens in a religious society. They wished to avoid all the hatred and persecution that comes with religion and this is why they separated it from the state.
I have no idea who has told you otherwise but I imagine it was religious people. Be very careful when getting information from them as they are often incapable of being honest.Some people hate God so much that they are negative about anything that has 'God' word in it, why?
Get used to it because peoples belief in deities are going extinct due to the fact that religion has caused an enormous amount of trouble on this planet and people are beginning to see through all of the superstitions and myths associated with religion. the number of atheists are growing exponentially and it's just a matter of time until it's completely gone in the western world.
Because people are starting to realize how goofy it is... and you people don't.
You should try walking in the shoes of an atheist for a while. Just try to imagine you DON'T believe in any god (if you are even capable of that) and look around for a bit and tell me you don't notice how pervasive the notion of God has become.Some people hate God so much that they are negative about anything that has 'God' word in it, why?
Because satan is among us telling us to eat from the tree of knowledge so we can be like gods and with the new age stuff, well, people like the new age stuff better because it is satisfactory to the flesh. They don't want to believe in a GOD that wants to save them from eternal damnation!
Ah yet more blasphemy by hiding behind god and refusing to see it is his BAD followers attitudes and behaviour that are the cause of all the reaction against the christian church and not god!!!
Thank you for proving yet again that Christianities鈥?problems are not about atheists, belief, God or Jesus but about the intolerance, hatred and persecution from those terribly BAD Christian attitudes and conduct!!
If only BAD Christians would rediscover the loving god and start acting like it the problem will cease!!!!
Of course until then christianity will increasingly get called the "Nasty Religion" and increase the revulsion towards all christians from the behaviour of the fewer BAD ones!!!!!
I totally agree with you. I don't understand either and think it's very sad and very scary. These people have no clue what they're missing and where they're going to end up in the end. And the anger, I think it's partly out of worry. That maybe, just maybe what the Bible says is true.
America was not built on Christian values pal. Try to read up on history.
Because a great deal of atheists have anger issues
Nobody really has a problem with those who believe in God. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. The problem comes when they try to force their beliefs on others and when they try to legislate their beliefs such as saying "our religion says abortion is wrong therefore we want a law passed that follows that belief". When you friend bought a card with Jesus on it for her friend she was offended in the same way your friend would be offended if that other girl had bought her a card that says "Jesus did not exsist". It is OK if she believes in God, but if she wants to give a card to someone she should not use that as an opportunity to preach, but instead give a card that has meaning to the reciever....otherwise it is purely selfish on her part. As for the book "God's Medicine is the Best". The clerk may have been very aware of the two highly publicized cases lately where families let their children die because they refused to get medical help thinking God would simply cure them.
I don't hate god. How can you hate something that does not exist?
I certainly despise, and often fear, many of the crazy people who belive in a god.
Because, surprisingly, America is getting smarter.
Silly Christians and their persecution complexes...word twist jp cycles

How to tell him...........?
So I met this guy at a bookstore, and I've been going back every week to talk to him.
We've been IM'ing and Texting for over a week, and he seems really keen. He's really sweet and we have alot in common.
The problem lies in this: I'm a Christian and I've made vows to not have sex before marriage(which I haven't told him yet), and his Facebook page seems to suggest he just expects it.
Is he being nice just to try to get me into bed?
How do I go about telling him these things?
Also, he wants to meet my parents this weekend, but we haven't even gone on a date! Is this weird?
Help!!How to tell him...........?
So... he is keen to meet your parents. Big deal? NONE!
Tell him you have taken vows. If he doesn't respect them, then you know he isn't for you.
So a guy being nice means they want to get you into bed? Hmmm You are brain washed. If that's all he is after, then again he isn't the guy for you.How to tell him...........?
telling him such things could be good to he can have an idea that you aren't for sex only. if he wants to meet your parents even if you haven't gone on a date, not weird to hear, but just perhaps to surprise you by telling your parents that he wants you to be his GF. (kind of nice attempt though).

What is a god way to meet quality men?
I am looking for places to meet quality singles. I tried internet dating and it was one disaster after another. First it was a nigerian scammer and I caught on when he asked me to help him cash a check,another one was into witchcraft and dumped me when I wouldn't give up being a Christian for him, one was crazy and thought he was a werewolf(seriously;he did!) and the last one got me involved in a love triangle after I made it clear I did not want to be in that situation. I am Catholic so services are very structured and don't lend themselves to meeting people. I eat out, go to the local parks and pool, go shopping, go bowling, go to the local bookstore etc. and not to look for men but to have fun but so far I have not met anyone that way. I own my house and have a full time job, so I am not "needy" but I am in my 40's, a single mom and I am ready to meet someone decent. So where can I meet quality men?What is a god way to meet quality men?

Why did he hang himself?
I had a distant relative, who lived in a totally different country, far away from me. In 2003, I went to visit his family with my mum. He fell in love with me immediately. I did too (though not as serious as him). He wanted to marry me. I was only 21 and very afraid. Then I returned to my country and forgot about him. I told him it won't work out since his dad wouldn't agree (his dad just opposes love for no reason). I never thought about him till I visited his family again in 2006. I was there for 2 weeks but we never talked. Before I left, we got 30 minutes time alone. He took me to a bookstore (upon my request). I shopped and we returned. He teared and told me how much he still loved me.
I came back to my country again, feeling very depressed. I thought I will give him a chance again. I agreed to marry him and even resigned my job, ready to leave my country and be with him. But again, his father disagreed. Then I told him to come to my country instead. He said he can't saying that he's afraid something (like death) might happen to his dad. I was very upset, felt cheated, that he made me go thru so much, all my frens and family knew, I lost my job because of him and he was unwilling to even make a small sacrifice for me. I cried becoz I thought that if he really loved me, he would come and be with me, whether or not his father agrees.
I moved on, telling myself, I will never think of him again, for the pain he gave me and my family. Then he came. A year later, when I've already met my husband now. I refused to talk to him. I refused to even see him. And he left. I married my husband (whom he never met). Then he came again, last week. He stayed in my aunt's place. Throughout the time here, he kept telling them I didn't talk to him and how much he still loves me. He saw me and my husband and I only managed to say a "Hi." I didn't talk to him, although deep down inside, I wanted to say a few more things than just a hi. But I didn't because now I'm married, and he's not. I was afraid, that if I talk to him, I will cause him more pain. So I did not talk to him. So he returned to his country within 4 days. Then just 2 days ago, he hung himself in his room. Everyone blames his dad now (for not agreeing to let him marry me). I blame myself. I blame God. I blame life. My sis said he died and proved his love for me.
Why did he kill himself? Did he not know that there'll be many who will grief over his death? I can't help but cry. What will happen to his soul now? There's plenty of Christian/Islamic belief that when one commits suicide, they will suffer for eternity and go to hell. I don't want that to happen to him. Is there a way I can save his soul? Is there a way I can say sorry? Why did he hang himself?
Amazing story, the way you phrased this and the words you used made it seem so real to me and even though I have never experienced a similar situation like this in my life, I feel like I can connect and try and give you some thoughtful and insightful advice... Here goes....
First of all, it's not your fault, I think his father was being too harsh and too negative in this matter. You did all you can, there was nothing more that could be done, He choose suicide because he needed a way out, he thought all hope was lost for him and thought that the girl of his dreams (you) would never accept him and see him ever again....
Love can be painful sometimes, however you moved on and found a man whom you dearly love (your husband) and he should have moved on as well. Somethings we're just never meant to be, no matter how much someone wants it.
I feel sorry for this man, from what you said, he seemed like a loving caring guy. However what he didn't comprehend was that there are plenty of women out there, and even though the girl of his dreams moved on and faded away, that shouldn't have stopped him from getting out there and finding the right woman for him. He should have left this in the past and moved forward, and kept an open mind on life.....sadly he chose the cowards way out....
Today, at this moment there's nothing you can do but pray and hope that he's ok and well wherever he may be. Don't let his death affect you, grieve today and love tomorrow, because life is unexpected and you don't want to dwell and dwell for the rest of your days. You found the man of your dreams, you married him now it's time to move on and see where life will take you....
Take Care the road you choose out there.....

Yes if you are of Catholic faith you can pray his soul into heaven. Why did he hang himself?
i think he was up normal
end it and move on ,dont blame god and dont be silly ,god isnt your kid ,he is your GOD
Sweetie. You didn't do anything wrong at all. He's the one that hung him self... It's his fault not you. Why did he hang himself?
You can't blame yourself for this. There was nothing you did wrong. He made the choice to end his life. He might have been depressed and mad at himself for not making the sacrifice to be with you.
All you can do is ask God to forgive this man's transgression. Believe that God hears you and will answer your prayer if your heart is pure.
Thank you SS for your question I am sadden to hear your story I know you and his family are in great pain. It is very sad when someone chooses to end their life it means they have given up all hope. I pray that your heart will be healed and that you will come into a closer relationship with God. God is the only one who can heal your heart and ease your pain, you can say you are sorry by forgiving him for this act and at the same time by not blaming yourself his family or God. I wish you the very best I hope all your prayers, plans and dreams come true. May goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life and may you dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this. It is not your fault. He was mentally ill; healthy people don't commit suicide. He probably didn't think about the people he was leaving behind and how much his actions would hurt them. He was too sick to see beyond his own pain and his illness that convinced him that suicide was the only way out. I'm a Christian but I don't believe that those who commit suicide are condemned to Hell. I don't see God punishing someone like that for having a mental illness. I see God as pitying someone who was so miserable and sick that they saw suicide as a viable option. Of course, you will have to search for your own personal answers in your spirituality but I for one believe that those who commit suicide may still enter Heaven. Of course you can pray for him regardless. You can also talk to him, aloud or silently. I find that talking to those who have died brings a lot of peace and closure.
I know how hard the pain is. My aunt hung herself 11 years ago when I was a child (11 years old) and I still remember how painful and awful it was in the beginning. It will get better. You will miss him and probably will always have questions but things will get better. Even as a child I wondered what I could've done, but I realized it wasn't my fault and I refused to ruin my life by holding onto guilt for someone else's decision. It's okay to feel overwhelming emotions, it's okay to cry and cry and cry. It's okay to get to a point where you feel numb, or angry or want to deny that any of this has even happened. Dealing with suicide is a very hard grieving process. You might consider joining a local grief group or group for survivors of suicide. If you are uncomfortable meeting in a group, there are resources online that explain more about suicide and the healing process afterwards. I hope you know that you are not alone. There are a lot of families who have lost loved ones to suicide, it's just so painful that many people don't talk about it openly. Please take good care of yourself. Please don't blame yourself. You are a good person. You are not alone. God Bless You.

He was too sick to see beyond his own pain and his illness that convinced him that suicide was the only way out. I'm a Christian but I don't believe that those who commit suicide are condemned to Hell. I don't see God punishing someone like that for having a mental illness. I see God as pitying someone who was so miserable and sick that they saw suicide as a viable option. Of course, you will have to search for your own personal answers in your spirituality but I for one believe that those who commit suicide may still enter Heaven. Of course you can pray for him regardless. You can also talk to him, aloud or silently. I find that talking to those who have died brings a lot of peace and closure.
I know how hard the pain is. My aunt hung herself 11 years ago when I was a child (11 years old) and I still remember how painful and awful it was in the beginning. It will get better. You will miss him and probably will always have questions but things will get better. Even as a child I wondered what I could've done, but I realized it wasn't my fault and I refused to ruin my life by holding onto guilt for someone else's decision. It's okay to feel overwhelming emotions, it's okay to cry and cry and cry. It's okay to get to a point where you feel numb, or angry or want to deny that any of this has even happened. Dealing with suicide is a very hard grieving process. You might consider joining a local grief group or group for survivors of suicide. If you are uncomfortable meeting in a group, there are resources online that explain more about suicide and the healing process afterwards. I hope you know that you are not alone. There are a lot of families who have lost loved ones to suicide, it's just so painful that many people don't talk about it openly. Please take good care of yourself. Please don't blame yourself. You are a good person. You are not alone. God Bless You.
Does anyone have parents like this?
The problem with mom is:
- she used to lock me out of the house, if I didn't do chores.
- she threw a keyboard at me for not playing long enough. she threw chair at my brother
- she would take a whole bookshelf, unhook the tv and through it down the stairs.
- she even swerved lanes on the highway, sped up and threatened to drive off the cliff.
- if she got into an argument with dad in the car, she would step
out of the car and walk home...even if was miles away...or take the bus home.

The problem with dady is:
- I left the house without permision, took the bus to go to the bookstore (only twice)
so he ripped my shirt off beat me with a belt, and called me 'lying sob' 'sack of s---' etc
- The other time, he kicked me down into the closet, and the did the same thing.
- I was depressed and did not get out of bed cuz the other kids were taunting me, he did it again.
- one time, I was late for school and I forgot to put deoderant on,
he watched me take a shower for 10 minutes. I swear I was ready to gag.

They both grew up in south central Los Angeles. My opinion is that I hear this kind of
behavior is rampant in christian-homes espeically in America. So could that be true?
Why on earth should kids put up with parents like this?
Of course if I tell them, how mean they are, they just angrier.
They have the nerve to tell me I'm the mentally retarded oneDoes anyone have parents like this?
Their parents treated them the same way. Your best bet is to grow up and move out.
That is child abuse and that is no christian home believe me. Jesus Christ came to bring peace and love and mercy not violence.
You should probably report it to Social services or the police or a teacher at school or someone who could help you, but be prepared to be taken away from your violent parents.Does anyone have parents like this?
I had the same kind of parents, not quite as extreme as yours. I am still struggling with the consequences forty years after leaving home. The only solution is to get out of that family and try to put it all behind you.
Yes, others have parents like that; a good friend of mine did and it affected him for the rest of his life.
I was fortunate to have two loving, supportive parents--and I am very grateful for it!
Hang in there, my friend!Does anyone have parents like this?
No, it is not true that this is rampant in Christian homes. Maybe that's what you've been told as an excuse to their behavior, but it isn't true. And no, children shouldn't be expected to put up with that, call CPS.
Call child protective services.
These parents are not Christian. They are not behaving like
Christians. Please don't give Christianity a bad name by equating this kind of behavior with Christianity.
You are kidding right? That's not just mean that's child abuse!! Someone is going to eventually end up getting seriously hurt. Tell someone about this and get yourself to a safe environment!
they thought that they were doing good and making you good person. Do not expect perfect love from anybody except yourself. My were not that bad but i wish they learn more about parenting before they decided to have children
Yes.
The best day of my life was the day my father died.
And yes, he was in the heirarchy of our church.
OH MY GOD YOUR PARENTS ARE ****** UP.
Go get some help love, that is child abuse.
Hang in there, I will pray for you.
show your parents what you just wrote and thay might understand you,
make sure you stand a bit far though
You are lucky she didn't cook you for dinner!
The Bible God moved Abraham to kill his ONLY SON Isaac, drain his blood and burn him by fire on the Altar to “the LORD!” This is a clear case of an attempted murder. In most civilized countries it is punishable by law! In the Bible stories God forced the Jews TO EAT their own children while at the same time gays were to be stoned to death along with any PREGNANT lady who was thought to have committed adultery (Num 5:11-31) or for not crying loud enough when raped (Deu 22:23-24).
Christians must expect to eat their own children when the “666” brand name will hit the market! They won’t be able to buy or sell any food unless they have a “666” brand!
Ezekiel 5:10 - Therefore in your midst fathers WILL EAT THEIR CHILDREN*... (*THIS HOLY CRAP IS ALL OVER THE BIBLE!)
It took Moses 2 men to carry a single cluster of gigantic size grapes on foot for over 200 miles to show the Israelites how plentiful was the Land of Palestine that they were going to invade (Num 13:23)! The Bible writers had well fed Jews in Egypt COVETING GIGANTIC SIZE GRAPES that wasn’t theirs regardless of the “Thou shalt not covet” bit. After invading the “Promised Land Flowing with Milk and Honey,” the Jews NEVER FOUND ANY GRAPE OR ANY MILK AND HONEY FLOWING ANYWHERE SO GOD FORCED THEM TO COOK AND EAT THEIR OWN GROWN UP CHILDREN!
Jeremiah 19:9 - I* (*God, not any “THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT” crap, but GOD!!!) WILL MAKE THEM EAT THE FLESH OF THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS!
Lamentations 4:10 - With their own hands COMPASSIONATE WOMEN* (*Not lesbians or atheist ladies, BUT GOD LOVING HOLY COMPASSIONATE WOMEN!) have cooked their own children...!* (*DONE LIKE GOD PROMISED! Honestly, Christians don’t like to read the whole Bible! Bible Colleges only dwell on selected portions of the Bible acceptable to a particular Church brand).
No Bible teacher can explain away CANNIBALISM in the Bible stories except by ignoring it or saying that IF THE JEWS DID IT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY ARE A VERY SINFUL PEOPLE IN NEED OF “JESUS!”
The Bible writers are predicting that someday the Christians will have a “666” trademark to deal with. They WON’T BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL ANY FOOD without it! Will they eat their own children again like in the old Bible stories?
Ezekiel 5:10 - Therefore in your midst fathers WILL EAT THEIR CHILDREN*... (*THIS BULL CRAP IS ALL OVER THE BIBLE DOCUMENTING THAT THE JEWS WERE CANNIBALISTICLY ORIENTED! Christians today follow suit in the “HOLY COMMUNION!”)
2 Kings 6:26-29 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!” The king replied, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? Then he asked her, “What's the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.’ So we cooked my son and ate him* (*BTW, he turned out delicious!!!). The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him, but she had hidden him* (*she WILL GO TO HELL for not sharing!)
They were all COMPASSIONATE Jewish ladies who according to the Bible writers HAVE SLAUGHTERED AND COOKED THEIR OWN CHILDREN FOR DINNER at the tune of, “The LORD is my Shepherd I shall not have any want” (Psalm 23, or 24 for the Catholics)!
Isaiah 49:15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I* (*God) WILL NOT FORGET YOU!* (*the Bible writers made it clear that the God that they put together would force their fellow STINGY JEWS refusing to support the Clergy TO EAT their own babies for dinner!)
In Deu 28, 14 verses tell the “blessings” of submission to the Clergy, while 54 describe the most sadistic punishment for not paying the full dues (10% of their gross income) -Deut 17:12-13, Mal 3:9-10, Mat 25:41, Acts 5:1-11, etc…
Our US Government officials, in this “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” still swear on and kiss this smutty Bible FOR POLITICAL REASONS! Christianity and religion in general is a multibillion Dollar business!

Are all Torah's written in Hebrew? Where can I buy a Torah? (Tanakh)?
I am a Protestant Christian. I go to a Catholic High School. I have Jewish relatives and am very curious about Judaism and I know the Torah is identical to the Old Testimant of the Bible and it would be cool just to have one but every Torah I have seen is written in Hebrew. Can I get a Torah (Tanakh) in English? Can I get a copy of the Torah at a bookstore? Do I have to go to a Synagogue?
Also is the proper term for a Hebrew Bible Torah or Tanakh?
Thanks for any help!Are all Torah's written in Hebrew? Where can I buy a Torah? (Tanakh)?
the torah is not identical to the old testament. the old testament is a translation of a translation of a translation of the torah with some mistranslations on the way, some due to human error and some put there intentionally for political and religious reasons.
you can get translations of the tanakh in various places, such as amazon.com etc. if you want to read the closest thing to the original you'll have to do it in hebrew.
the torah are the first 5 books of the tanach (it's the T in tanach). you call them pentateuch. Are all Torah's written in Hebrew? Where can I buy a Torah? (Tanakh)?
I have the Torah.Mine is in English. Go here: http://www.amazon.comAre all Torah's written in Hebrew? Where can I buy a Torah? (Tanakh)?
I'm not sure about the proper term for the Torah, but I do know that it also comes in Greek.
In fact, that's why there's a difference between the Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible. The Catholics took their Old Testament from the Greek version, and the Protestants took theirs from the Hebrew version. Though, to be truthful, back at that time, the Jews used both versions interchangeably.
Good luck with your explorations of Judaism. Another site you might be interested in is http://www.jewfaq.com , which is maintained by a Hebrew scholar and is divided into three sections -easy, medium, and hard.
OK- lets explain the terminology first:
Torah= Five Boks of Moses
Nevi'im= Prophets
Ketuvin= Writings
The three combined together are known by the acronym- Tanakh.
Is the Tanakh identical to the "Old testament". Nope. It is in Hebrew and the chapter breaks, verse numberings and sometimes even book splits differ from what you find in the OT- changing emphasis and meaning. On top of that, the language used carries mulitiple meanings and translators very often make errors by utilising the wrong meaning due to not being familiar with the layered meanings or the legal meaning of a word vs a popular usage vs the mystical meaning etc.
Can you get it in translation? Yep- probably the best English translation (with a summary of a few Rabbinical commentaries), is the Tanach produced by Artscroll/Metsorah publications. It can be ordered directly from their website http://www.artscroll.com or from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, a local Judaica or bookstore etc.bully dog unique baby boy names

Does anybody know where I can sell books in bulk? I have over 25000 and my boss needs to get...?
...rid of them so we can open.
My boss was just sold this bookstore about two years ago, and all the books that were already here we're trying to get rid of. They are awesome books, but they are pretty old Christian treasures, and what we want to sell are newer Christian books. He has been selling them on an inventory blowout sale type deal, but since our remodeling is almost completed we need to sell them all before we re-open the store. Can you guys help me to figure out what we should do in this situation. We've been looking into book liquidators, but no one has contacted us yet...HELP PLEASE!!!Does anybody know where I can sell books in bulk? I have over 25000 and my boss needs to get...?
Hello!
I own a small used bookstore and I actually specialize in Christian / religious books. Please email me at contact@kittymeowers.com as I would love to talk about purchasing your books!

Sometimes the books are available for reading (my brother told me about being hassled by the waitress after he had become engrossed in one of the books he pulled of their shelf while eating.) Others are glued to the wall and each other, and really are only decoration. But they find that real books are cheaper than mock-ups. Either contacting restaurant owners or corporate offices directly or by contacting used book stores (whom they usually buy from), you might find a quick 'n' easy buyer for most or all of them.Does anybody know where I can sell books in bulk?

A difficult problem that I would like Muslims to help me with! Preferably reverts please!?
Salaam!
I am going to revert to Islam and in my efforts I have hit a snag!
I need a PRINTED version of the english translation of the Quran but I cannot get it.
People have said ok just read it online but reading off the computer screen hurts my eyes and gives me migraine head aches because of an eye problem I have. So my progress has been slow and laborious, I am not half way through and I should have finished long ago. Instead I have had to research about Islam without directly reading the actual text.
Completely not good enough, I need it printed but I am in a Christian family in Ireland with no Mosques within 100 miles. If I went to a bookstore my parents would see what books I bought since they would bring me there(I live in the country lol).
I can't order over ebay or anything since I am not old enough to have my own credit card details.
I cannot take the Shahada(I was taught the private method by a correspondent of mine who is an Islam scholar) until I read it.
Please help, I am quite desperate! I do not know what to do!A difficult problem that I would like Muslims to help me with! Preferably reverts please!?
wa alaikum assalam brother ,
congrajulations!
ok now you dont need to know the entire quran to say the shahada .(am not sure if i understand you).
if you truly believe in what you testify , say it without any delay.
you may read other books , articles (some hardly take 15-30 mins )..to learn more about islam , to strengthen your faith .
here are some -
http://www.jamaat.net/name/nameintro.htm (what is his name -by ahmad deedat . hardly 10 pages i think.u may read it at intervals )
http://www.jamaat.net/cis/christintro.ht鈥?/a> ..christ in islam - by ahmad deedat .. you would love it insha-Allah(God willing)
for comparitive religion study,clearing up misconceptions about islam log on to -
http://www.irf.net/irf/main.htm
questions and answers on islam (i learnt and still learn a loot from here ..i truly love this site) - http://www.islamqa.com .its the largest database of qustion and answers on islam online.
u can order quran for free online . i would suggest you read the translation by "muhammad muhsin khan and taqi-uddin hilali ".
the one by yusuf ali is really good but the former is better when it comes to simplicity in language and containing the least no. of errors.
if you want to listen to the recitation and read the translation simultaneously , then you should be downloading the free quran recitor software from http://www.shaplus.com its really worth (.translators = pickthall,yusuf ali and shakir .)
Alhamdulillah, and Allah hu Akbar
I always go to http://www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch/. There are 4 translations, including one from M. M. Pickthall, a famous scholar and English revert. Also if you go to http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/arabics鈥?/a>
You can hear and ayah and see its translation
Wa'salaamA difficult problem that I would like Muslims to help me with! Preferably reverts please!?

Contact any of the Embassies/Consulates of Arab countries. They will provide you a copy of the Quran translation.
Can you not print the online version?
Edit: "TheDon", You were not asked you opinon of Islam, You were asked a question regarding finding a book.
If you can't get to a bookstore have a look at Amazon, some sellers may accept a postal order.
There are loads of different sites that will give/send you one FREE.
Just google the words free quran and you will find several sites that are willing to send you one.
i have an arabic/english version that i got from half price books for pretty cheap!
let's just hope you don't beat your wife up or stone your daughter for talking to a boy!
Don't do it! Jesus in the only one that can save you. Haven't you learned anything from being in a Christian household?
If you are in USA, you can order a hard copy from the website of :
http://www.submission.org
In my opinion it is the BEST translation of the Quran ever. Although many people here will say, "Don't". The reason is that the author (Rashad Khalifa) later claimed to be a messenger i.e. "Messenger of Covenant as prophecied in "Malachi".
There are some other good translations also available. One such translation should be available from "www.19.org"
and
www.yuksel.org
----
However I would STRONGLY recommend the translation by RK (Rashad Khalifa) as it unveils many things and ALSO is the MOST EASIEST translation (in easiest modern English). The flow of the translation is simply UNMATCHED. Although some matters are disputable but it does convey meanings of many verses which were and are not understandable by any of the corrupt writers.
Its nice to see you are so fond of Islam and want to explore the religion more. I have alot of muslim friends...I am Christian but since I study in Bradford I have alot of muslim friends here.

I can try to send you one off my friend if you are really desperate for it...let me know and I will see what I can do...
Are you really decided to abandon your great Master Jesus and his marvellous doctrine giving up your faith..
Before accepting a new belief, try to know your own credo ffirst.
