Texas Pastor Taunts Kids At Mall: ‘Santa Does Not Exist!’ | Michael Stone

Cast1es comments on Dec 15, 2019:

Perhaps someone should have mentioned to him , that things written in the Bible are contradictory , that a Catholic , in trying to determine the birth date of Jesus , made an error and was over four years off , based on when the , "Star of Bethlehem ," in reality , a returning comet , was actually in the vicinity , that there were many more books written , but a man born and raised as a Pagen , decided which books would be a part of the BIble , based on his own preferences and that a lot of vital information was there fore omitted , and that the books of the Bible were written by men , not a God , most of them , many centuries after the events took place , and are therefore open to misinformation and personnel variations , for starters . Therefore , what he is teaching is misinformation and in most cases out right lies .

Why is there no live chat on this site ?

Cast1es comments on Dec 14, 2019:

Because no one wants to sit on an empty chat room long enough to see if anyone is going to show up . You could wait until someone shows up , if you'd like .

Perhaps this is because , on other countries , women can't get out of an abusive relationship , are married and impregnated very young and often without their consent , are refused any consideration by their parents or culture in general , outside of their marriage , are unable to support themselves , much less their children on their own ? There's always an other side to the story .

Sleep Disorders?

Cast1es comments on Dec 14, 2019:

I was tested and have sleep apnea . The pills seemed to help some , for a little while , but their only good , was to try to get your cycle beck in sync . You can't take Ambian forever . The CPAP , helped me get to sleep , but then woke me up , because , while it helped me breath in , it wouldn't let me breath out . I've since had surgery to remove my soft pallet , which quieted the snoring so that it , the snoring that is , no longer wakes me up . I had previously had my tonsils and adenoids removed , or they would have considered that , as a first surgery . They suggested that I also have a deviated septum , and talked about fixing that . On another occasion , a doctor was trying to feed a tiny camera into my nose and down through my throat . He looked at both , and picked the larger nostral , and still had difficulty getting the camera in . Funny , because I always thought my nose was too big .

Cast1es comments on Dec 10, 2019:

Executing the strongest , the bullies , means another with a strong violent nature was required to do it . People like Hitler , Genghis Khan , and Trump , even though we know they want to have it over everyone else , aren't easy to dispose of , even when the masses recognize what they are . I truly think this is the error in his assumption , that the gene pool had this type of personality forcefully removed and thereby reduced the dictator/bully tendencies from the population .

Cast1es comments on Dec 9, 2019:

When I was young , we'd sometimes have canned mixed fruit as desert . When I reached a certain age , I began to help out a bit . Rather than carry each dish to the table , I carried the stack of bowls in , then opened the can and began tryring to dish out equal amounts of fruit pieces for each bowl . I noitced nearly all the red ( dyed grapes to look like cherries ) , had wound up in one bowl , so began to sort them as well . At this point , my father says , no one cares about that , just pass out the bowls . Figuring I cared , and others might as well , I handed him a bowl , and continued to try to even out the faux cherries into the remaining bowls . Dad was shocked . He gently slid his cherryless bowl back with the others . He had expected to get the bowl with all the faux cherries .

I was surprised to find a black cat in my back yard , and thought it belonged to a neighbor . It turned up several days in a row . One day I was watering the flower boxes on the side porch and was thinking the birds were being particularly noisy , when I discovered it wasn't birds I was hearing . As it turned out , including their mother , I had seven new house mates . Even as tiny kittens , each had their own individual personality .

Five of the navy guys working with us got together and told our civilian supervisor , they had a required weekly meeting they had to attend . So every Wednesday after noon the five of them would leave , immediately after lunch , for their weekly required meeting . They went to the cafiteria and spent Wednesday afternoons getting drunk . Needless to day , the beer dispenser in the cafiteria didn't last very long .

Cast1es comments on Dec 7, 2019:

Yes , a part of religion is community gatherings , social events , and charities , that made you feel good for participating in . But these can be replaced , without it being religious . As for , " large spaces ," think of sports stadiums / arenas , fairs , festivals . For nerds/geeks , etc. there are a variety of D & D types of groups playing . It's more a matter of deciding what you are interested in doing , and connect with others who share the same interests . I've learned that once you are participating with a group you truly enjoy , you often find connections to other things you will also enjoy . For instance , after my divorce , a new boyfriend introduced me to SciFiFantasy Conventions . At one , a panel was on ballroom dancing , which I enjoyed . The couple heading the panel , had built a home that included a ballroom and they invited us to join them twice a month . While there I learned about the SCA . I also discovered Didico (sp) , which was fun and much closer to home . WIth the SCA background , I discovered I thoroughly enjoy cosplay , and began making connections online , to the Renn Fest and the people who frequent it and other fairs and events . Now my computer , presents me with a listing of local events that , based on the interests I input , are things I'm likely to be interested in attending .

I have to just say that I so much admire the strength that it must take to deal with, day in and day...

Cast1es comments on Dec 6, 2019:

Unfortunately , just because a person earned a degree , does not make them a God . Corporations contribute big money to support medical teaching institutions , which , in turn , teach people what and how to think , and how to use the equipment and medications they want to sell . You can look at what medical devices have been installed in our bodies that don't work , and have been taken off the market , and legal suits filed in order to provide some compensation to those whose lives were affected by them .

I posted a question on here earlier , to see what others would be interested in contributing to a good relationship . The answers came back , basically , nothing . People are interested in doing what's fun , what they enjoy doing , and expect to get a lot out of a relationship , but appear to be not interested in contributing to any responsibilities as far as maintaining a relationship goes . I'm not breaking my back carrying the entire work load again . I've withdrawn myself from the dating side of this group .
