Why would I want to be a Mormon?
(24 Messages)
I am a Christian, a disciple of the Jesus Christ Who is taught of in the Bible. My theology is nothing new; in fact it is the basic theology that has been taught for 2,000 years now. Why should I even consider becoming a mormon? What do they offer that is real that I don't have? They teach the existance of many, many gods, each having dominion over their own little worlds. They also teach (contradictorily) that the Bible is True. The Bible says there is only ONE GOD ANYWHERE, EVER Isaiah 43:10 & ...

NFL was easy by comparison Ten years after hanging up his pads and playbook, success takes the form of a 12-year-old who once read at a second-grade level catching up to his classmates after three years bunking with Kelly Youth Services, then returning home, graduating from high school and holding a job. He's picking them up at Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center, getting walls patched that they've kicked in, and waiting with them at hospitals for treatments and emergency mental evaluations. A 12-year-old with a reading problem would yell, ...
Violence lurking in our homes One of the latest key initiatives to reduce the incidence and far-reaching impacts of domestic violence has been launched by VicHealth. Respect, Responsibility and Equality: Preventing Violence Against Women is an innovative $810,000 program that will give grants to 29 community and local government organisations and networks. The money will fund a wide range of projects all working towards one goal: reducing and eventually eliminating domestic violence in Victoria.
These organisations have each designed specific projects to increase community awareness, education and practical support for families affected by domestic violence. For example, one project -- Men Don't Do Violence! -- involves men from different faiths and ethnic backgrounds taking a stand on violence against women. Another project sees the AFL working with young people in country Victoria to prevent violence.
Davidson taking on the big boys this season The great American banking center of Charlotte, N.C., lies at the tender, barbecue-basted heart of ACC country. It's the home of the 2008 ACC men's basketball tourney, and the Observer is widely regarded as the conference's newspaper of record. The only thing the city doesn't have is an actual member school within an hour's drive, but all that will change this winter with the addition of the ACC's honorary and temporary 13th member.
The local Wildcats of the Southern Conference, fresh off a school-record 29-5 regular-season mark and a valiant loss to Maryland in the NCAA Tournament's first round, have set forth a path that boldly takes aim at the traditional titans of the country's most prestigious hoops league. Davidson's 2007-08 schedule includes a Nov. 14 contest against North Carolina, a Dec. 1 date with Duke and a Dec. 21 excursion to NC State.
Cottage-builders discover the advantages of logs Today's advanced, highly engineered log house - which is increasingly being marketed as the quintessential "green" building - is a far cry from the dark and cramped structures of Canada's early pioneers. Those homes were often no more than randomly stacked logs requiring mud - even buffalo dung - to fill cracks and holes in an often futile attempt to keep the elements at bay.
Meanwhile, John Godden, a building consultant in Southern Ontario and a member of the Canada Green Building Council, suggests even if you own a log home, there's more you can do. Owners should not forget to incorporate such things as energy-efficient appliances, lighting and furnaces; as well as high-efficiency windows. They should even consider investing in alternative energy sources such as solar and wind to create a truly environmentally friendly, energy-efficient home.

Charles Manson "I am what you made me" Charles Manson:"I am what you made me."That's what Manson said in his murder trial for the shooting, stabbing, bayonet slayings of 7 people in 1962. It was never proven that Manson was even present at the murders but it was well known that he directed a handful of people in his cult/"family" to kill rich, well known white people and leave messages written on the walls in the victims blood. Manson was convicted of both conspiracy to commit the murders and the murders themselves and was originally sentenced to death until California abolished the death penalty in 1972, reducing ...

And you don't see me out there murdering people. I think it's a poor excuse, and that he is just trying to blame others for his horrific actions.

You have an excellent point, however, it should not be assumed that being beaten, abused, raped, rejected and abandoned may not have a serious and even violent outcome in some cases. It is also important ...
