  • What do you think of the new antenna switch HDTV?

    Since my husband bought our converter boxes and got them hooked up we still have problems with some of the local stations losing the signal.

    Such as one local channel I know we will not receive until after June 12th. But what is strange is we picked up this channel once and was able to watch it a few days then it went away and we have no signal now at all.

    I just have my doubts about this set-up and what is being done to people who cannot afford cable or satellite. Is this one way to gain control of what the government wants us to see over the airway's?

    What do you think?

  • What do you think of a gov. who takes up to a 58.00 dollar cut from the disabled and elderly checks, (SSI)?

    Is this justice? for another person such as any rep of a state or even country to take away from the poor and cause them to suffer more because of there greed and selfishness.

    Yet the government can go spend thousands on their pet projects and charity just to get a tax write-off for themselves.

    Yet! they don't want to be charitable to the poor. So where is mercy for the poor one and the ones who are sick and cannot help themselves due to their disabilities?

    They didn't want to be this way and besides some where born that way and just don't know why someone would want to treat them this way.

    Isn't this robbing the poor and giving back to the rich?

    I know one day there will be justice for the poor and they will be shown mercy. For the scriptures said those who are not merciful will not be shown mercy.

    So in the near future as the scriptures tell us the the meek will inherit the earth and the wicked will be cut off from it.

    So those who seek mercy after not showing any to his fellow man, will not be shown any for himself.

  • Do you think America is not America anymore? What has happen to our country?

    Everywhere you drive in america, no matter what state in the union, there is differant cultures taking over many bussinesses?

    It seems that amereica is up for grabs to the highest bidder.

    Not only that it is in debt up to it's neck and they still borrow from peter to pay paul and then they are obligated to give our country to the highest debetor.

    What is wrong with this government? Also look how the men and women who risk their lives for this country are being treated after they come home.

    I feel for them and their family's for there suffering.

    I think and this is my personal feeling!, that this ought to be a lesson for the young men and women who are thinking about going to war for any country.

    God is the one who we should be fighting for and his kingdom, not man's greed and selfish wants.

    But as we know not many will fight for God's kingdom and uphold his law's, only man's.

    I'm not talking about an arm to arm combat fight, but a spiritual fight.

    Aganist Satan.

  • Do anyone out there have epilepsy?

    If you have epilepsy? Does your doctor take time and set down and talk to you?

    Does he allow you to voice yourself without butting in?

    Does he only talk to your spouse and not seem to listen to what you say?

    Tell me what kind of doctor treat's his paient that way anyway?

    My husband is taking Dilantin,Lamitical,Depakote,Keppra, and another drug for deppression.

    I have noticed more aggitation,nervousness,arguementive,ect.,ect.

    It seems that even his personionality has even changed, his moods,negative thinking and so on.

    Does all this medication cause all these problems? Does it have a affect on a person's attitude as well?

    He is so hard to get along with most of the time and sometime I just don't know what to say in fear it may agitate him and he will blow up at me,it doesn't really take much sometime.

    But I don't always know when these times are and have no way of knowing!

    Any suggestions and honest one's from personal experience would be very grateful!

  • What do you think Jesus would say today about how the people that claim to be christians,but cannot get along?

    Why do people say I'm a christian,wear a cross that represants suffering of Jesus Christ and go and kill their neighbor because they are not of the same race,color,ect.ect. or disagree with what they believe in?

    I have even seen these people in gangs wear the cross,who do they represent? The ways of Satan,do they not?

    So who is the true follower's of Jesus Christ?

    Who would Jesus today say is his friend? And what would he now think of those claiming to be "Christian" ?

    Didn't Jesus say that not everyone saying lord,lord will be saved,but the one doing the will of the father?

    So why do people keep resisting the truth? and allow place for satan to control there lives?

    The scriptures say: Jesus told his disciples to look out that no one misleads you.

    For many will come on the basis of my name and mislead many.

    Like today some men are already claiming to be Jesus Christ just as the "True Jesus Christ" foretold would happen.

    So ask yourself what is God's will & how can I find out

  • Does anyone beleive that we are living in the last days? Spoken of in the scriptures,I do! What do you think?

    The bible speaks of the sign of Christ's presence,the last day's.

    I feel that the generation that we are living in right now are the signs of the days that Jesus spoke of do you not agree?

    In matt. 24:3 The disciples asked him what will be the sign of your presence and the conclusion of the system of things?"

    In answer Jesus said: "Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name,saying,Iam the Christ, and will mislead many.

    "For nation will rise against nation and kingdom aganist kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

    Matt.24:11-speaking of false prophets will arise and mislead many.

    Also read Matt.24:21 this speaks of a great tribulation such as has not occurred since the worlds beginning until now,no nor will occur again. read also verse:22-31. Also matt.24:39,42. Matt.23:34 Please also read: 2 Tim 3:1-7 also verse 12,13;verse 12,13. now what?

  • what do you think of a father who disowns one of his two sons who has a seizure disorder.?

    This father is a very dominating father and his older son who has a seizure disorder since he was young and the father dislikes him cause he will stand up to him. The other brother who is 12 yrs younger and a sister who is 6 yrs younger will not stand up to the father cause they are scared of him and there ages are 46 & 52 the sister has never bn married. The baby brother can race motor cycles and drive cars ect. & the sister can drive. But the older son cannot due to his disability.

    As soon as the older son turned 18 the father told him to leave and get a job,he did but no one wanted to keep him because of the disability he had. So he had to wind up moving back in with his mom & dad,cause he didn't have anyone else to turn to for help.

    Then his mother died and after a few month's he kicked his son out again and he doesn't even call him or talk to him, nor does his brother or sister cause they do what that old man say's cause that's what he wants. The father is 84 yrs old.

Besides that the propane tank is so old it would have to either be replaced or fixed and I don't know if it can.

  • why does my family avoid me even when I try?

    I know I have an anger issue at times and can be abusive at times. And I'm seeking help with my depression and trying to stay in touch with family members,but all I get is someone making excusses to avoid me instead of trying to talk things out.

    I always say I'm sorry about anything bad that I have done and tell them I love them and I don't see any response back. I've turned my life over to God and excepted Jesus as my savior and the family members know this but they still don't give me any credit or want to accept me.

    I have always had a problem with seizures since I was about 7 yrs old and been taken advantage of in school and by so called friends and other relatives. My father never would talk to me about my seizures and have the other family members not tell me what I did when I was in a seizure.

    They have kept other things from me as well and have even lied to me. My dad has always favored my younger brother cause he can do things I cannot do and this has hurt me.
