I always wondered about religious zealots....Like those who are extremely "homophobic" but then turn out to be closeted gays (ever seen American Beauty?) maybe he's just trying to convince himself he believes.

Secure

I think mine is secure..
When I put it on my computer, I had to put a password in when I linked my other computer with the main router. Is that securing it?

You secure one end of the slinky
to the bottom of the feeder, and it stays attached and the squirrel grabs on and goes SPRONG, SPRONG, SPRONG, until he jumps off (I gather).

I think I'll see if I can find any video on YouTube.

And you have a right to your beliefs, however (sm)
as I said in my original post, these people do not represent Christians. They are a hate group and should not be considered anything other than that.

You can secure it so hackers can't access it.
Let me know if you want more information!

Yes, beliefs would be correct. Why would you sm
live your life like that - not being positive or certain about anything? I, for one, believe in God deeply and I take Him at His word and if He makes a promise I hold Him to it and He's yet to forsaken me. Unless you've been there I guess you can't understand what I mean.

I know things can happen. I've been through some extremely difficult times in my life (losing a child), but I do say words like refuse and I AM, or I WILL and then I do them. I don't leave my life up to chance. I don't say I hope to do this or that. If I want something bad enough I go after it and usually don't quit until I get it. Yes, it's in my beliefs. It's my core. It's who I am. I am very positive, despite the many setbacks I've had in life.

I would not bash anyone for their beliefs
however, I do disagree. If my child came to me that he/she were gay, I would never in a million years tell them I disapprove of their lifestyle and that God does not approve either. As a mother, I would want my child happy and comfortable with their sexuality. I think a lot of damage is caused by parents who enforce their beliefs on their children. With it comes guilt, low self-esteem, unhappiness, self-disdain and anger. I would never ever subject my child to those feelings no matter how I felt about the situation.

I did notice that but I hate to put my SS number on the internet. I know they said it is secure but
how secure is anything. I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the length of time it takes. Thanks.

Beliefs, those do not even play into any of this warped thread
I just believe in what I think, no amount of reading could ever change my mind because I have seen for myself, not something I have read- seen as in children crying trying to urinate, trying to get the prepuce pulled back, hurting and yelling. You are ridiculous.

You need to read some books on early Hebrew beliefs
`

For example, I have a lot of opinions and beliefs....do you want to send your child (or another chil
and let me tell them what I think is right and wrong and teach them however I see fit? Or do you think the child's parents have that right?
