What do you do when you all meet up? Do you do circle work/ rituals or hold witchy discussions? Or just have a good gossip?

I JUST found out that the woman who shaped my singing career in opera died in March. MARCH! I was too busy worrying about this, that and the other thing to just call or email. Ironically, I was forwarding a poem written by a terminally ill teen when Mimi's email address came back as a delivery failure. I googled her to find out what had happened: dead. Have you had a moment like this where you suddenly went: what AM I doing? Life is wayyyy too short.......Thanks for sharing. Namaste

My ex hates me and it kills me to think of it. I know I did wrong to him i.e. got angry and insulted his family etc which I regret now. The last argument we had I hit him with my umbrella he just got me so mad but even depite it all I still love him and cannot get him out my sysytem. He says he's dating another gal now and that kills me. I have a man now but I still miss my ex. I regeret the way i was to him and wish he would at least meet me but the last time he said he would he then said he didnt want to meet me. This is hard but I trust in god so it shouldnt be but any one ever expereinced this?

The fact that he says he has been dating some one for 2 weeks is killing me. I know I am christian and I beleiev e in god should help but i am finding it sooo hard!

Think the thing that hurts me most is the fact that he has met someone else and I cant help but thinking that shes loads better than me in every way thiugh I have never met her? And the fact he hates me does not really help? I know these feelings or thoughts are not of god but I am finding this really difficult.

believe in satan, then you must believe in evil and evil on earth. So, how can you say for sure, that when people do "crazy" or "horrific" things, that's it's not influenced by evil, real evil? Unless you don't believe in God.

43-47"You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.

48"In a word, what I'm saying is, Grow up. You're kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you."

Eyes Wide Open asks: Why do we dream during the night (and day)? Why does neural activity during dreaming behave so unusual? Where do dreams happen? Can you fit a whole alternative reality into your head? And why does so much of the brain seem to do nothing? Why is so much of the human genome unaccounted for? Why is the gods hypothesis such a universal explanation for the unexplainable? What's in the other 8 dimensions of space?
Eyes Wide Open suggests: Humans are fully aware of the three basic space dimensions as well as partially aware of a time dimension. What if day and night dreams take place in another dimension? An information dimension which also possesses it's own 4 basic spacetime dimensions which we are awre of? If this were the case then understanding consciousness from the perspective of our basic timespace dimension would be problematic. The information could account for subatomic connection and the superposition of particles as well as shared global ideas and everything

To protect the world from devastation
To unite all people within the nation
To fight all evil with truth and love
To continue on to the stars above

It's really beginning to annoy me now. I've tried looking on Bible websites, but came up with nothing. I'm pretty sure it's from some sort of religious text.

A. THE FORMATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON (A.D. 100-220)
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03274a.htm
The idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning, that is from Apostolic times, has no foundation in history. The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council. ("Canon of the New Testament")
There is a lot of confusion about the earliest existing texts of the Bible. The oldest extant manuscript of the Bible is believed to be the Codex Vaticanus, (preserved in the Vatican Library), which is slightly older than the Codex Sinaiticus (preserved in the British Library), both of which were transcribed in the fourth century.

I find it extremely saddening that you can not see the sanctity and beauty of the world in which you live. Is it not better to focus on living well in this world, and improving the lives of those around you, than focusing on this eschatological outlook? There are many problems that are not being addressed, such as the threat of global warming.

I believe that these are only the last days if Christians succeed in making them so. You are so focused on the next that this world is neglected. There are things that need to be done NOW in order to preserve this world. If you are wrong (and there is always that possibility no matter how sure you feel) then your children and grandchildren will be the ones who will suffer.

To me, it seems that your sentiment is that: "It doesn't matter what happens to this world as I'm going to heaven", or: "The quicker this world is destroyed then the quicker judgement day will come and I'll have my perfect life". These sentiments do not reflect well on you.

Hell beckons, and the fresh new handbasket is out of its seal, tested by genuine Wiccan wickerworkers, in the hellish climate of Mexico.
Made with new improved sentient wicker that repels malignant spirits and promotes good fun.

Is it really that time again?

Is my basket really alive? And does it have its own magical field?

Will the bran muffins be affected by this?

Yes ladies and gents. Leaving right now (in the time distortion field, now is any time you happen to appear, even if it's different from everyone else), it's the much-anticipated:

Hell in a Handbasket tour

Don't bring anything, as thoughts will materialise. If you think you need sunblock, you got it.

Can I have a roll-call of who's aboard?

God allows slavery:
Leviticus 25:44-46: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life"

Exodus 21:1 "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

OK to beat slaves:
Exodus 21:20-21 "And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money [property]."

Slaves must be circumcised:
Genesis 17:13: "He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant."

Here is my reference....
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1COR%206:9;&version=50;

1 Corinthians 6:9 (New King James Version)
Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites,

Footnotes:
[a] 1 Corinthians 6:9 That is, catamites

Now.... "what's a catomite" I thought ... and.... well as far as I can figure a Catomite is word with latin origins that means the younger partner in a pederastic relationship between two males. Now this strikes a particular discord with me ... That is, a Catomite refers exclusively to an act of pedophilia ... but more interestingly Paul condemns not the adult perpetrator in this text ... but the adolescent little boy!

So, if you can make sense of that morality then please explain it to me 'cause I need to know.

Jesus spoke of the "Gift of God," "Mysteries of the Kingdom," and "Worship in Spirit."

Don't you think that Jesus taught his own disciples the spiritual practice of how to Worship in Spirit??? Source: http://gospelenigma.com
