Mussolini's extreme right wing rantings are "thriving" as well.. it's just a thought. along with Hitler's rantings about how the "bad people" are the cause of Germany's (or the world's) problems.. I'm a *product* of da vicster's organization. Am I born again? More likely.. the truth of the matter is I'm going to hell.. at least I'm honest about it.. an honest devil..

fair assessment..

I had a similar experience. The wife of da bigwig here came in the local coffee shop. She has some kind of degree.. works as some kind of social worker.. I think in charge of some program. So in comes her colleagues.. they sat at a table.. she sits with her back to me.. there are times I can read minds.. along with the look of panic in some individual's eyes.. "god, don't let him recognize me.." even if one is *in* a fellowship at the way, it is a professional liability.. interesting, eh? Where is the "holy boldness" to confront those "outside of the household" in broad daylight? yeah.. its good for a laugh.

I've heard similar arguments. I wanted to get this off of the doctrinal thread. Is it doctrinal? perhaps.. perhaps not.. Just a few observations: (some) humans feel somehow superior to animals, both in physical engineering, and calling. they generally feel that animals should not be harmed, damaged, experimented with.. UNLESS the human is to profit. Whether because of food (I admit I'm guilty here), intellectual advancement, safety testing, or spiritual enrichment (sacrifice). I've heard a few arguments.. generally they boil down to "ham, they are JUST animals." I've seen the same people take a few viruses far more seriously..

But you know.. less than a thousand years ago, they were busy rounding up black cats in Christian(?) Europe this time of year.. I'd like to be able to claim that this kind of insane belief will NEVER reign again.. yeah.. they actually thought they were ridding the land of devilish influence, so they could properly enjoy Easter.. maybe I have an over-active imagination.. But the cats here were running from door to door, window to window today.. the one cat has quite a loud voice. maybe they saw some far off past, where there was a mob of religious fanatics trying to hunt down black cats or something.. Well. There was no "trial".. these primitive bastards just plain burned black cats outright.. Interesting.. There are other countries, and other cultures that consider a black cat to be GOOD luck.

I'm sorry that you take me wrongly here friend.. the laughter is not of mocking, but more of joy.

I can't deny her experience either. But.. I just wonder.. how much spiritual damage was inflicted in the process.. it's like.. he talked about healing being a "gift".. but that was only out of one side of his mouth. What kind of price did he exact for it.. nothing is free.. even "free beer". One is forced to view perhaps one of the worst performances viewed in one's lifetime..

The more I think about this.. The two black cats here will NEVER burn as some kind of denizen of hell in medieval Europe. Some of those primitive beliefs actually had the arrogance.. well.. whatever. To think they could rid the land of evil spirits around Easter time, by gathering black cats and burning them.. they are free as they wish, to consume tuna, as much dry cat food as they wish. Even the occasional mouse that might stupidly enter a cat's residence..

Yeah. I think the same. I've woken up from a dream sometimes, to still be within a dream.. maybe we have every moment to make a choice...

One of my cousins who was in the way had some kind of experience with a spirit.. or something, trying to strangle them..

Friday is my Tuesday afternoon..

Nobody here.. well, lets see what Friday brings. :) If it makes any difference here.. I do not own a firearm. In any form..

One-sided views hold their firearms, well below the site of others.. or they are supposed to..

My dad was cool.. he actually taught his two less than teenage sons how to handle a rifle. When walking, you are supposed to hold it down in a position that it is NEVER pointed in the direction of another human being.. I think he had to hold a firearm, or worse in the direction of others in one of the "great" wars.. so interesting.. he never told us anything about that..

here comes my obtuse self. sowy. why didn't they require the youngsters to pack something like a 9 mm handgun? I mean.. heck. It's a great equalizer, that is, to balance out the effect of out of control adults.. I mean, they HAD firearm training and all..

I'm supposed to be some kind of peace-maker. god have mercy on the world.. by the numbers this is supposed to be true.. so where do we go from here.. it's always been some kind of fiendish, delicate balancing act..

The only one-sided views I presently hold concern myself, not any other here.. at one point I have to let go. It's not a big deal (but it is).. where does one go when one is presented with a brick wall.. the way could NEVER provide enough money to repair what they did to me personally. Why demand it.. they can't pay the bill.. let alone even acknowledge that there IS a bill.. as far as they can slightly think, they probably think I still owe them something.. and my experience was tame compared to that of others.. it comes to a point.. that all rosie the ribetter and donna the dumpster are good for is only for a good long laugh.. but that is just my (maybe overly stated) opinion. so while I am horrified by YOUR treatment.. how do I process mine? At least here? Sometimes it is with blunt words of dry humor..

there are a lot of those like this.. but why does this make me cry..

I've had such a god a few times.. small "g" intended. dueling exorcists was one of those times.. but I could play the game as well as another could.. "out, thou fiendish, unsquirrelish spirit, of sorts.." hey, what can I say. I am happy, generally speaking..

This is the *coolest* post I've seen here.. give me some time friend.. I'll try to catch up. :)

Sowy, just a few more thoughts. There are two cats here.. I would NEVER request them to give up their life, or blood, for mine.. I'd rather die in wickedness or something.. first of all.. if something such was even possible.. they would have to have the capacity to agree with this.. then they would have to logically agree with this.. or are their Souls just ripe for some kind of harvest.. just a few thoughts. I can't harvest souls for my own benefit. Maybe other humans can do this.. whose life is it, anyway..

is it possible that this is an assumption? OK. Assuming this is possible.. the blood of beasts has to be more holy than the blood of man.. I can't see an infinite God paying a debt with wooden nickels, so to speak..

Maybe it was an old fashioned case of "blustering". You know.. my god is more (obnoxious) than yours..

if it makes any difference.. what makes you think existence inside of the gates to be any more pleasurable than that without.. I mean.. the kind of agreements you have to make to get in.. if one is a "savage".. life outside of the gates is a paradise.. just a thought. maybe we are deluged with too many metaphors..
