Hey wing, we have earthquakes all the time, and we dont feel them unless they are 5.0 or more.

We got bit by bed bugs during our trip to Europe. Thankfully it was at the end. When we got home, all clothing went into the wash,(even the clothes that got washed while away) and all non clothing was wiped down, Garments that had to be dry cleaned were sealed in plastic bags and taken to the dry cleaners. Suitcases were steamed cleaned, shoes were steam cleaned, and my own bed was steamed cleaned everyday for weeks after we came home. Never had a bite since.

My daughter takes them and stashes them in her room. When she has a bunch, she cuts them into strips, and crochtes them into sturdier plastic bags that we use for shopping, swimming, and anything else you might need a bag for.

I have lived in Alaska for a few years, and so I will clear up some misconceptions that I have heard: We do not have 12 months of winter, its 6 months, and we do have summer, two weeks in July, the temps have reached triple digits above zero We do not have complete darkness in the winter, but close, we get 4 hours of daylight in the winter, and Barrow, AK gets 4 months of total darkness. We do not live in igloos, we live in houses, apartments, cabins, and tents Not all indigenous people are Eskimos. Alaska is larger than Texas.

We had prayer in class every day in kindergarten but never a school wide prayer. Every graduating class had prayer before the start of the ceremonies. We said the pledge of allegiance with "under God" (and btw, the public schools in this town still do every morning). Gideon Bibles are still available from school and some jobs allow them to be distributed on site. When I was in school, Christmas was more or less Christ centered, with Nativity scenes posted on bulletin boards, Christmas trees decorated in common areas in schools usually by the offices or lunch room. However, Christmas is gone, and now its Happy Holidays, in order to not exclude others' holiday practices. No trees nor nativity scenes. Only holiday music that does not refer to religious matter.

Nebula, I had an opportunity to ask a man who attended a church where no instruments are used. If he were to answer your questions, they would be no, he cannot play in church, nor teach a new song in church. But what he does outside of church is fine, as long as he is not teaching words to songs to members of the congregation outside of church. They use only their hymnals, the hymns are the same as they were 50 years ago or older, only the pages and binding are new. No instruments are used since a thorough study of the NT scriptures doesn't reveal God directing the new church to use instruments, (nor does it tell the Jewish converts to stop using instruments). This would mean no new songs would be taught in the church as well. Writing music, playing music is fine as long as its not in the church, or used in worship where others are around. Just so you know, I do not attend this same fellowship as this man, as I attend a fellowship that has musical instruments, and a few song writers that teach new songs, and where you are encouraged to use your gifts (whatever gift you have) as God leads you to do.

Which edition (printing) of the King James Bible is the "correct" or "uncorrupted" version?

Praying!

I filled out one and mailed all six back.

I got three in the mail....twice!

Only if you're paranoid and ignorant of how the law works and of how many good people would resist. Gimme a break. I thought the links were interesting, no need to be rude. I was thinking you cant be serious. Then I lost it when i read about Fairbanks Alaska, and 2 million people. . Someone needs a reality check!

So they make them for dogs too??? You mean....its not for dogs?

SNOOD

This too is what I was taught.

I looked at the site. This sounds like a church that I would run from, not to. And from what you have already posted, you might find peace in finding another Church.
