  What do Baptists believe?

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  when i was last here, my mother had recently been diagnosed with cancer.

  there were potential issues regarding transfusion, none of which eventuated.

  she undertook a course of chemo which worked quickly and effectively, with minimal side-effects.

  I'm glad you could share your pain with us. We do need reminders of our mortality and the need to slow down and take care of each other.

  Welcome back.

  Hortensia, your congregation must be huge by now!!! Five years of technology and the Virgins blessing must must be bringing in the sheep, angels and that 10% discount.

  This is the funniest thread, must bring it to the top!

  i have been suffering from fatigue, burning in my stomach, and i have always had canker sore issues as long as i can remember.

  whether it's from stress or not, i can't say, but i might be getting an ulcer.

  the burning in my stomach and intestinal puffiness is getting to be be chronic.

  They have a lot of pros and cons. Lots of veggies and no sweets except a few fruits. Nuts and some dairy. You can have BACON! Protien is good, eggs are fine. Fats do help satisfy the appitite. I don't gain when I am doing it. I have huge problems over the holidays when every one is pushing bread, sweets and chips.

  I have a friend who is vegan. No animal products period, she looks gaunt.

  It Wasn't All Bad (smile)

  the congregation i belong to is small and most of its territory is in the rurals.

  there is one territory in particular that is some distance from the hall and so it does not get worked as often as the closer ones.

  then he said: "i cant talk to you people, you dont believe in hell" .

  the legal challenge raised to the door to door work could be.

  huge in its effects.

  even if the supreme court strikes down.

  What a happy day for you! I second the other job idea. Get your networking skills going and maybe you can be competition for the boss in a few years time.

  It's a wedding so diverting attention to the "happy couple" would be good.

  Ask lots of questions, try to see if you can find the next fader in the room. Ask about the missing friends and get the gossip. In general let them know if you are involved in a hobby you like or what issues intrest you lately. Like Jgnat said keep moving.
