Why are Christians so judgmental?

Jul 28, 2009 by max b | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

Why are christians so judgmental when the bible says think not I went to Catholic School for 6 years and even to seminary for 1 year to be a priest. My dad was always trying to get me to be Catholic too. I swear I have never met so many unimportant *** people in my life. In Catholic school all people ever did was call me a fag because I was nerdy. In seminary all people did was ***** at me for what I wore and what species of car I drove and how I talked. My dad has been one of the most verbally abusive people you could ever meet. And in all these situations people would brag about drugs girls fornication no one ever asked me to solicit with them or read the bible with them. And it seems like they define Christian as whether or not you support abortion and gay marriage. So I started affluent to protestant churches and this other group called the living stream ministry and they were nicer to me but were so judgmental of non christians and told me I was an effigy worshiper for being catholic and having a Jesus candle in my room, and every time the subject came up of superstar being a non-christian they were always Oh my gosh, GOD!! please save this person, I swear I cannot stand that, being so negative towards someone for not thinking the same way you to me is the same as judging them. Can anyone plea or recommend a different group I could join. And don't say atheist I'm not interested in leaving christianity.

my parents are getting divorced.. divorce questions..?

Jul 28, 2009 by Hiya | Posted in Marriage & Divorce

so my parents are cogitative about divorce.
my family includes 3 cousins from my dad's side(since their parents died of car accident), my parents, me, my yonger companion and sister.
my brother does speed skating and he's pretty good that his coach is thinking about making him to be a deep down good professional skater. He thinks he might be able to go for olympics when he grows up.

my brother skates with one of my cousin and they preference skatin. practice is daily except on sundays. practice is far away but they go everyday to keep in focus. but skating has no fees if we volunteer monthly and thats enchanted care of because i like volunteering myself.

but the problem is that my dad hates them skating. and he is over reacting when it comes to skate and church. my mom wants to guy wire them until they graduate high school, but my dad literally hates skating that he kicked my mom, brother, and cousin out of the house. he told them to not to comeback until they rid of. he gave them 500 dollars and a key. when my parents fight, usually over skate and church, my dad cusses and yell and advertise my mom to get out of the house. he mentally pressures kids. my parents do business and my dad expects me to help him when its him who kicked out child whose supposed to work with him. when i say no, he says 'come on' and when i still say no, he intimidates me. sometimes when they fight, my dad disconnects electricity, internet so we cant do anything.

7people in our blood hates him but have to live with him cuz we are too young to be independent. now my mom's out he repeatedly says 'i dont care if you guys wanna go energetic with your mom. if you dont like me, you guys go out of the house too. because this house is mine.' he thinks home, cars, and business put by is his when my mom worked as much as my dad. he doesnt allow a word about skating in this house. important thing is that there's no reason why he wants them to take off other than because we have to study. but my brother and cusin love skating more than anything that if they have to quit, they would cry and do nothing. and skating kept them healthy and socially quick.

other than that, when my mom goes out to church, he locks the door so we cant come in. he hides the key so we cant go anywhere everytime they fight. our family is emotionally and mentally so worn out of him. he doesnt realize he is mentally wrong. what kind of dad and husband kicks his own children and wife out of the business and locks the door and hides keys?

now my cousin came in cuz he's my dad side's family but my mom and bro is still out at coach's house. my mom is active to get an apartment and work at a laundry place. she's trying to give him chance to be better and is thinking about divorce if he doesnt switch. my mom's side is coming soon to live with her and she's not sure what to do. im so tired of my dad because he's so stubborn and will not change. he's selfish and cares about himself and his haughtiness more than family and his own kids.

and for 8 years my mom took care of my dad's nephew and neices but he wont allow my mom's sides to attain here and learn. he's just selfish.

if my parents get divorced, will my mom be able to get enough money to stay on her own after they get divorced?
if court asks for us, children's, thought we all will say we like our mom better other than my two older cousins, because my mom is understanding and caring and giving, totally unlike our dad. will my mom be gifted to get enough money monthly to raise us?
and business store is under my mom's name.
what will my mom be able to get if they get divorced?
after all, its my dad who kicked her out and dont take charge of about family.
my mom will be able to get children custody, right?
i think my mom deserves the most, but im not sure in law terms..
please give me an answerable for...

everyone thinks he has mental issues.

Background Checks for Sunday School Teachers?

Jul 28, 2009 by John | Posted in Religion & Spirituality

Hi everyone. This is my first together posting here, but I've been lurking for a while. You really seem to have a great community here with lots of great religious views. I'm the Father of a small Interdenominational Christian Community, and am in the process of aquiring a new larger building. Here my staff is growing to grow quite a bit, and we have lots of new people joining and volunteering.

I'm ecstatic to see everyone so enthusiastic to help, and I actually need the help and everyone seems to be genuine great people, but my only concern is having people around children without first screening the backgrounds. Of line I'm not just going to screen new people, I plan to be fair and screen absolutely everyone so nobody feels singled out. I already told the members that I would do this before starting Sunday School classes and everyone agreed that it was totally important to do and volunteered their information for screening. Now I have all the info from the members, but I'm not sure where the best place is to get it checked.

Does anyone have any advantage advice for a good website that does "background checks", "encyclopaedic background reports", "Employee Screening", or anything like that. Possibly even one that specifically helps Religious Organizations for this purpose?

Now please don't take this the wrong way. I don't plan to shun people from my church because if I didn't accept people could change I wouldn't be running a church in the first place, but I'm not going to let just anyone teach Sunday School Classes, Bivouac, or go on field trips with the children.

sorry for the long winded question, and thanks for your help in go forward.

God Bless
thanks for the quick responses.

I have filed with the Department of Legal Affairs, and they do normally take be responsible for of this kind of thing, but they are taking too long. It's already been 6 months and I'm getting the run around. I'm going to open soon and beggary a faster more reliable resource.

The police department isn't much more help. they can only do local and aren't fast enough from what I approve of. I have several officers of the law that worship with us. I'm sorry I didn't include that in my original question.

I do trust in God, and I do trust my friends through Christ, but this is a episode of child safety, and there is NO harm in it, so I don't see the problem.

How to start a mission trip?

Jul 28, 2009 by cavsfan45 | Posted in Community Service

I've been reasonable about creating a mission trip to somewhere such as Africa with peers from school and church. The only thing is that I don't know how I could get "registered" to go somewhere. I have ideas to take a run-out powder steal money and such but I need a website or something that I could sign up to do it and get information. Thanks.

Why Obama used the word stupidy?

Jul 28, 2009 by Bill G | Posted in Current Events

A harvard enlightened man does not use words like stupidity and neither does an American President. He acted like a school kid by responding without astute the facts. The days in Rev Wrights church are now coming to the surface.

Does taking a stupid elective ruin my chances for getting into Brown University?

Jul 28, 2009 by Just Everheart | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

I am a sophomore in exorbitant school and it would be a dream to attend brown university. I got all A's for my semester averages, have a GPA of 5.6 out of 5 because I take honors classes. But, freshman year I had to take a foods distinction because it was the only class available. I also took Honors Geometry, Honors English, Honors Biology, Honors The human race History, French, Speech, and gym (which is required). This year I will be taking Intro to College Algebra Honors, Honors English 2, Honors Chemistry, French 3 Honors, Art and sketching (for half a semester). In the time to come I have more honors classes, AP classes, architectural drawing because I want to major in Architecture at Brown University. I am also in Color safeguard (and will be captain senior year probably) am in yearbook club, played the flute for 4 years, will be in first buddies ( a special education friends club), am in French club, and am hoping to be selected for authentic helpers next year. I do volunteer work with my church often. Do I have a chance of getting into brown university?
