Can anyone recommend any good Persian/Farsi language films please?
Daybreak is very intense and moving, and has won many awards. I'd just hit Netflix and search for "Farsi Language." I was surprised how many they had.
Answer to:
This is Farsi/Persian, what does it mean in English?
"jegarem kuja asti? Mar kar astom kalbem. Tu kuja astee sayeda gakem
This is hard to say, because usually transcribed Farsi is not written that way. For instance the "Tu kuja astee" in the last sentence would usually be transcribed into English as "To koja hasti." I notice a few things:
This person uses -em where you would normally see -am
They use "u" where you would normally see "o"
They are not pronouncing the "h" in the verb hastan.
I'm pretty sure Kalbem...

I read in today's LA Times about "HAVELIS", old, ornate houses in India. The article mentions that the word "HAVELI" comes from Persian. Being Persian myself, I can't decipher the etymology of this word. Can someone please help?
Don't know if you ever got an answer to this, but Wikipedia thinks that Haveli is from a Persian word that meant "enclosed space." It did not say what that word might be, but perhaps that is enough of a clue to help, in case you didn't already know. Also, if you are aware of any good Persian etymologies written for English speakers learning Farsi I would LOVE to know about them!

One of Websters definition of ghosts is; the seat of life or intelligence. Can anyone PLEASE explain, and make some sense of this.
Essentially what this definition is trying to say is that a ghost is a person's soul; life force and personality and conscience and all of that. Here "seat" means "source" or "location," so a ghost would be whatever it is in a person (or maybe animal) that animates him. I can tell you that much about the definition, but what I can not do, unfortunately, is make SENSE of it. There is really...

Do you think the modern medical discoveries are a threat to the evolutionary process of man
No. To say that would be to suggest that evolution has a clear, set path, and a determined end goal. The process is more of a "go with the flow" kind of deal. You can't really work AGAINST evolution, because evolution acts on genetic variation and current environmental conditions. evolution is the outcome of those interacting sets of variables, not some force that is headed in one specific...
Answer to:
If the 'Gene Theory' for evolution is true, why do animals have any survival instinct after they can't physically reproduce anymore?
Why waste the resources to create a mechanism which would "shut off" survival instinct in the case of impotence or menopause? It makes sense to turn it on, but what sense would it make to retroactively nullify an intensely important drive like survival? Unless these non-reproducing individuals become harmful to the birthrate or the survivability of the population, there is no reason that such...

The move to sexual reproduction needn't have been an instantaneous change. There are obvious advantages to both types of reproduction, and in some scenarios it might have been quite adaptive to have the...

Out of so many christian denominations how do i know which one is right and which one is following the bible truly, i don't believe in guts feelings i believe in prooving things
Here's your dilemma: if only ONE can really have it 100% correct, then that means AT LEAST all but one has goteen it wrong, to some extent. What you really should be asking is, "is it really likely that even one of them is right?" Couldn't they ALL be wrong?

If Joseph Smith was told that all the Christian denominations were wrong...why do they still believe the Christian bible as authoritative?
Well, that whole thing about God and Jesus telling Joseph not to join any church because they were all false wasn't part of the original first vision story. So, it's a good question, but it's the kind that pokes a lot of holes really quickly and can't be answered without revealing other troubling issues. In otherwords, you can't have a conversation about this while maintaining a consistent...

YES! Yes yes yes. There is no other answer. If you don't report it not only are you partially responsible for any other such acts this person commits, but you are also AIING this person to get away with rape, and you are doing a grave injustice to the person who was hurt.

"X" can be replaced by CKS or in some cases Z, and we DO use both of those already, so maybe we could use X for the "sh" sound.

Seminary is NOT a required class, and seminary takes place in a building that is located "off campus" (although it's usually a plot of on-campus land that was purchased by or donated to the church). Your children would NEVER have been required...

Adam and Eve made the first sin. God gave man free will for this. He also punished us all severely for that sin. If God is so just and loving, why did he punish the children for the parent's sin? We are all supposed to be children of Adam and Eve.
I guess that's really the key, isn't it: "If God is so just and loving."

Is there a physical side to etymology?
Not EXACTLY sure what this question means, but when one tries to search the origin of a word, one typically tends to look for WRITTEN instances of a word, because these entries often provide a snapshot of the time in question.
Also, a written record can clue you in to the pronunciation f a certain place at a certain time...for instance there is a flyer from a local high school that has...

Why do people use the term "Fixed" when they have had a vasectomy if it wasn't broken? If anything it is broken after they get it, right?
It is based on the veterinary term, and that dates from 1930 (Online Etymological Dictionary).

There is no "evidence" that doesn't equally lend itself to other explanations. That is why religious folk have to have faith.

Answer to:
What does the Mormon church do with all the tithing money they collect? 10% of every mormon's income? Where does all that untaxed money go?
It is naive to assume that the church spends ALL of its money building and maintaining its facilities, or giving to charity. But if you doubt it still, I'll let the words of their recently deceased prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, show you. (It is important to note here that YES I am using church info. I have not alleged that the church has lied about its current financial status, but...

Answer to:
What burial method do you wish for yourself when the time comes?
I want to be dumped into a peat bog for preservation's sake.
If that's not possible, I'd like to be donated to the "Bodies" exhibit.
If that's not possible, it'd be nice to be buried at the top of a hiking trail.

Answer to:
If you do not tithe, can you still enter the Temple? What is the minimum percentage that you have to give?
Not only can you not enter the temple, according to their beliefs, but you also can't attain the highest degree of salvation if you haven't paid in full. Also you will be burned by Jesus if you haven't paid tithing.

Answer to:
Does the LDS Church release information (exact figures/estimates) to its members about how tithing money is spent?
No. They stopped publishing that information in the early 1960's. Consider for a moment that there are over 10 million Mormons. Let's play with some numbers here...If only one quarter of them were tithe payers (it's probably a LOT higher than that) and the average income was a mere $10,000 US (probably a pretty low-ball figure), then that would be about 2.5 million X 10,000 =...

Answer to:
Is the 10% tithing rule in the christian bible or who made it up?
Muslims also have a tithing. It is enforced by law in most countries. It is 2.5% rather than 10%. But as a previous post noted the 10% tithe does originate from the pre-Christian Jewish tradition.

Answer to:
What is there beyond the universe?
Well, the term "universe" is meant to describe all that exists, in entirety, so the answer to your question is, there is no"outside" the universe. It's a wholly unsatisfying answer at first, I know. Many astrophysicists and theoretical physicists (see Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe") posit that the universe bends back on itself, so that if you...

Answer to:
What does the Mormon church do with all the tithing money they collect? 10% of every mormon's income? Where does all that untaxed money go?
Unfortunately one can't provide answers to this question with any kind of authority, because the church does not (and HAS not for over 40 years) provide this information. They do not publish any information on their finances to either outside investigators or to their members. Only a church financial authority could answer this question properly, and you would basically have to take his or...
