Society & Culture - 2 September 2006

Let me explain; In 1991 I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease and informed at the age of 22 that within 6 months I would have to be on dialysis to remain alive. I had just burried my daughter at her birth due to this problem. I was told I would not be able to conceive again nor bare a live child. I had experienced 4 miscarriages and that stillbirth. I prayed and cried to God. I cannot explain things but here I am 37, and two healthy sons. My renal function is still considered perilous and near failure yet I live each day as well as the one before it. There is no explanation that my doctors can give. I believe God is responsible. This is just my personal journey although some will choose to disbeleive. I am not seeking to convert, but asking if anyone else has had such an experience.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I am an atheist. I have never done anything wrong in my life, but a Christian friend of mine told me that I will burn in hell. None of that bothers me at all, because I know that one day she will open her eyes and see the real world, but I have a question for the Christians: Hypothetically, if there is God and judgement and all that, why should I go to hell just for being an atheist? That seems cruel and unfair.

It is explained thruout the bible that we must keep Gods commandmetns and statues, it states that this is not only for israel it is for all mankind. it also says that these things must be done forever and they will be done in the time to come. When the Lord returns do you actually think that his law won't be in existance. The Lords death only replaced 1 law and everyone thinks that it replaced all the law. Only 1
Hbr 10:1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect Hbr 10:3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year.
Hbr 10:4 For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins Hbr 10:5 ¶ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me Hbr 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

I just read the part where Jesus walked on water and thought----
If we have the ability to alter the vibrational rate of the molecular structure by focused intent, then we could in some way have other energy systems agree to respond to our intention because we believe them to occurr. Do we have the power to make our lives the way we want them to be because we choose to do so?
WHY ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO BRING US DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In consistance with my continuing inspection of AA doctrine, I am convinced that these cultists use the "willpower" issue to indoctrinate desperate drug addicts (alcohol is a drug) into their midst. Interestingly, AAers believe that the use of willpower can only lead them to another drink of alcohol, relapse, and a life of addiction. To further their recruit strategy of the unsuspecting "newcomer", they tell him that he is in "denial" if they disagree with this concept.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of AAers in this US society and the world. Afterall, we need people of this mentality to keep the Bush's in office and the 30 million of them vote Republican! But wait, perhaps human willpower can be used for the good and stop the warring or is that not possible without a "higher power".

Oh Jesus, save me! Save me from the predator AAers!

Baaaaaarrrrrffffff

I have a friend who is really starting to creep me out. If I buy a purple shirt, she buys a purple shirt, I won't color my gray so she quit coloring her hair. 3yrs ago we moved into our house, 2months ago she and her husband bought a house in the same neighborhood. Today everytime I took my dog out, she was driving very slowly by my house in her golf car. I decided that I wanted an RV so I could travel with my husband, then all of the sudden she and her husband want to get one, her husbands work does not involve travel the way mine does. I told her I wanted to get contacts again and now she wants them, but I know she can't get them because of problems with her eyes. It is just that every time I want or do something, she has to do it to, not like she has to out do me, it's just because I do it. Like she wants to be me! I feel like she is stalking me!
It is really starting to creep me out!
Does it sound weird to anyone else or is it just me?
How do I make it stop?

Assuming there is life elsewhere in the universe and the souls of other beings also enter heaven, will all the saved souls from all over the universe be together in the same heaven? Will there also be Wookies, Ewoks, Hutts, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, Vulcans, and all other manner of strange creatures in heaven alongside the humans or will they all each go to their own respective Valhallas?

If , as the Armianists teach, he wanted to save everyone and everyone is not saved, then Jesus failed to do what he wanted correct? The Calvinists teach He wanted to save those for whom he died and everyone for whom he died will be saved and none of those he died for will be lost.
