i meant a couple of dollares more than before not total...

UGH! You have to be kidding????

maybe you arent conservative....

Your obviously new, I'm definately conservative.

Yet, we could never abandon our boys, and if we had daughters, they would never be coerced into marrying a 40 yr old relative at the age of 14.

In our house, there is no molestation, no incest, and no abandoning of children. Those are pretty important things.

Oh how I agree!! I cannot believe this person is actually defending these men and women. Unreal.

I'll thank you to show one time where I defended the FLDS or its members. They are wrong, and I've stated it since my very first post on this topic. However, I will not allow mistruths go by either. I've stated that the children shouldn't even be returned to mothers without supervision and oversight. My concern here is for MY family, and for MY ability to raise my children without gov't interference. If you think this is about protecting child-abusers then you have sorely mistaken my point.

i agree!!!!!!!! not many notice this huge step the government just took towards coming after our children....conserevative christians are not liked to much more than these types of people!!!!!! this country is not a christian theocracy thingy a bopper...it's a majority rules evintially....they are coming for us soon..............

What goes on in a conservative Christian's home and what goes on in FLDS compound in no way compares.

to you maybe not....

Merin.....are you saying born again christians and FLDS are of the same faith and that their practices are the same?

hahahahahahalllllllooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllll

What does that work out to, about 4 chapters a day? I'm interested. . .

It actually comes out to around 13 chapters a day.

That is if you plan on reading the bible completely through 4 times in one year.

I would never have the time.

everybody has the same amount of time...right? i got 24hours you? lol

The Sporting Life

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6

For Most Of My Short Life Gambling Was Considered A Vice (Destroyed Families) By Law Enforcement.

Unless The Vice Squad Was Corrupted, Even Private High-Stakes Gambling Was Shut Off.

Now We See This Vice Is Run By The Very Governments Which Used To Protect.

Next You Might Even See Taxpayer's Dollars Used To Murder The Unborn.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Even If It Is Your State Lottery Commission Just Don't Believe Their Ads.

Wealth Ain't All It's Cracked Up To Be.

And They Know It!

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Thanks joe but no I don't have a gambling problem. I do love poker though...

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.

And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind? Ecclesiastes 5:10-16

I have a question on paranormal manifestation. Since I was a very little girl, I could always remember seeing and communicate with spirits (some good, some not). I believe that I have had encounters with Angels as well as other spirits. I have noticed some changes over the last two months in how my seeing is working. How do I know for sure what kind of spirit I am dealing without communicating with the spirits that I am seeing?

I am still having a lot of stuff going on that I am fairly certain is a negative spirit but not all of them seem that way. I kind of expected to quit seeing when I chose to believe; however, that did not occur. It seems that I seem to have gotten even more sensitive which is so bizarre.

** note: when I say, "seeing," I mean with my open eyes not my mind. My animals have responded to the spirits when I have seen them so this is no act of my imagination.

Anyway, thanks for any constructive responses.

There are no "good spirits" as you claim. How can I say this? Here is scripture from 2 Corinthians 11:14.

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

If Satan can transform himself into an angel of light, so can those who he instructs. Any spirit you are encountering is not of God.

I can say nothing about Angels, for they are mentioned in the Bible. How you could know is by what they are telling you. Take their words and compare them to His word, the Bible. If it does not match 100%, then they are not messengers from God, but from Satan.

If any of this is related to your past life, then rebuke them in His name.

Edited to say that I agree with Trusting Jesus.

arent anglgels and demons the same, spirit wise

grace grace...

i'm almost finished with the website for one of our pastors.... it's a very extensive site, and while i would welcome anyone jumping in to check links and proof any part they want, there is one page in particular that i really need someone to proofread for me.... and ya know how it is, when you proof your own work you always miss something.

if anyone would be willing to check for spelling and grammatical errors, i'd be eternally grateful. heck, i might even bring ya a batch of chocolate chip cookies when we meet in heaven! (ok, bad joke, sorry!)
