Life gets us all down from time to time and we all need to relax and refresh. How do you choose to do so?
I prefer an Hour of Adoration, a walk alone in the woods, and sometimes just listening to music in the dark , lit by a candle. These are my ways.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

It seems to me it eventually bennifits my "employer" more than I, as it robs my time and what is left of my creative energy.

First off, let me say I understand why religion developed; the fearful clung together under a set of similar beliefs and the more educated of the bunch created a doctrine for the rest to follow. From this came religous structre, icon worship, temple/church building other forms of religous property management, heirarchies and more. For many for a long time, these things were necessary, due to ignorance and disorganization. I understand this.

Now: today, we live in an age where man this means man and woman, black and white, gay and straight, etc. etc.) can build faith without the trappings of religion. They are not required of God in any faith. No scripture mentions that the faithful should be compelled to purchase candles and medals and statues and whatnot. In churches and temples, more is being said about how to be a member of your church than of person of faith.

Why? Shouldn't the sheapard truly lead the sheep, and stop fleecing them?

I know I shouldn't ask, but I am having trouble thinking of things to put in my Book of Shadows or how to arrange the info. I would like to hear some examples of what you put in your BOS or how you arranged it. I have an unlined, medium-sized, leatherbound book to write it all in. Also, I was wondering if I should put and index and/or a table of context?


TO THE ONES WHO OPPOSE MY RELIGION: please do not waste your time posting toxic prayer (thats prayer for people who don't want it). I have tried Christianity and (I don't mean this offensively) didn't care for it. If you think I'm going to "hell" thats good for you, but I don't want to hear it! Thank you.

Regardless of the faith of that retreat house or your faith, did you find the experience helpful ? Keep in mind that going off camping alone can be a retreat experience too. I am not speaking only to one faith.What did you find most restful about that experience?
Peace Be With You,

Don't you just love Cowards? "This person does not allow others to contact them."

My Title, that I Earned, along with my DD. (That's Doctorate in Divnity) AND my Ph.D are mine, and I will use them, is used as a title of respect applied or prefixed to the name of a member of the clergy or a religious order. ANY religious order. Not just Christianity. You can be Buddhist, Jewish, or even Satanist, and call yourself that, if you have the Ordination to back it up.

Religious cowards really are pitiful aren't they? I have nothing against any religion, just people with single digit IQs.

I am reading a series of books written by the same author who's main characters are in all of them, and each book just sort of picks up where the other left off. Anyways, some of the characters in them are gay and at one point the main character makes a statement that he is always the giver and never the receiver. Forgive my ignorance here and I mean not to offend anyone, but I guess I always just thought that if you were gay that you were sort of both the giver and the receiver. In any case, please help me to understand a little more if your so inclined to.
Thank you!!

I don't know what to do! We're very close friends. Been friends for 5 years now. I can even say she's my best friend, maybe. She KNOWS me. Even knows things about me I don't know about myself. She's a good friend! But she confessed. Last night. We ended the conversation by agreeing that we'll just forget it, as if it never happened. I said I could do it, and would want to. She said she'll try. But now, I'm not sure if I can do it. And I'm tempted to avoid her.

Prefer responses from fellow Christians. But wouldn't mind if you're not.
