  1. help them wlk on it, truly meant untill they also sold the class to their friends and family. Many took the class at my hand and im not ashamed , it was a bible class, Yet the biggest hurt i had after being marked was indeed those friends i had form before my way years tuned their backs on me when i was marked, they didnt care what hadhappened to me and refused to speak to me. one is a clergy in the way now i believe still. I saw them when I was out I went to a party they had when they came home for the hoiliday, it didnt go well the conversation was so intense and worrisome i just left. they gave me a card with the local way fellowship coodinator. these were some of my best friends i grew up with. they had huge issues with CES. talking about John Lynn and i aksed have YOU ever spoken with him? well no was the reply yet an expert on how he thought and what happened my friend was fed through the twi tube. I said you know You might be wrong , he said well how would YOU know? i said because you have story in your head about why i was marked and avoided and it isnt remotely true.. and Im your friend and the one who got you in this. then he said i had devil spirits, honest to God he did and I left, it was very painful. i reached one i guess. and lost one . God is still on the throne.

    Martin Luther King

    Thanks for sharing this Shellon . I watched Ophrah show on Monday and she did an outstanding job with the meaning of this holiday. I remember these days well i was "way Up north" where it didnt seem to be as riotous but i remember the sit ins and the fights and the news about busing the blacks in from the city. bomb threats in the school were common then. Many of us students had ever seen a black person much less go to school with them. Once they came they remained segreated, tho. Allowed to go to school with the whites but always grouped together alone and few mixing in with another race. they got off and on the bus everyday, i imagine they were afraid. I felt courious of the entire affair. I still live in the same area a few towns away , and we now have some minorities moving in, mostly high paid blacks who were raised without the issues many minorities may have faced back then.. they took advantge of the educatin and "turned white", in some eyes. the left the city instead of fighting for change to continue for minorities. i have two girl friends who are balck neither would ever consider moving to the subarbs, no way, i think it is difficult for anyone I took a job a while ago in which I was the ONLY white person and until you work and live as such in society no one can really know how it feels. I didnt like being the minority at all. I wouldnt do it again. we go with what we are comfortable with mostly. i raised my children to be accepting of All people and i have succeeded so I know we have made large strides. this has always been a huge mind task for me as i come from largely racist people.. they NEVER saw them or had to in any way interact with people of color so naturaly they did not ever want too. some who may not understand that, may say well that is just wrong. well is it wrong? imagine living your life and never seeing black people, not to assume they are bad, but certainly an un known and firghtening for parents trying to keep children safe. Much of my family still do not interact with many minoritites in rural america isolation is a common contribution so today i forgive my siblings for their wonder and ignorance concerning why this is an important issue. I truly this year rejoice that we all have keep the fight to see Martin Luther dream live on in our own way.
  3. some omen stay in the misery because of money or habit or stubborn will to make darn sure he doesnt win . hard to explain why tho I watch a relationship like this carry on for almost 50 years now. no they do not fight, no one cares enough to fight about it anything anymore, they live together know one another well and appear to have a marriage that lasted the duration of time, something to congratulate the people say... I look at them and think i may be alone and lonely and very unsure of tommorrow but that to me isnt really living anymore either. i met this couple they met late in life and married for the first time for both , except for the last five to ten she went demented and a peck on the cheek and a giggle once a day was as good as it was for him for years.. Yet he loved her so and she him in her own insane manner knew the love they shared.. his sister came and locked them in the house often so she would not wander the street and get hurt and he took care of her himself and the house well into the 80's till one day he fell and laid on the floor for 4 days.. she couldnt use the phone but she broke out of the locked house was found onthe street.. he died from his injurys not even a year later always insisting she be in the same room as him as crazy as she was and he wouldnt eat till she was served her food. i do not know george the social worker in this case wanted them to seperate for years so he could get better and she in a locked wing.. he said no i wonder if she would hae done the same? maybe she did.

    Are you getting old?

    When i was in high school we had a smoking lounge for the students to smoke cigereetes in between classes and at lunch. We didnt need to be 18 , nor neccesarily smoke just cigereetes, although it was just high school , in junior high we had to go across the yard and smoke in the woods nearby! today it is illegal to smoke in any public building. We used to have "sit ins" in school where the entire school would sit in the hallway and not go into class and bomb threats although i do not remember any explosions in our area.. the civil rights had taken effect and busing began from the inner city to the subarbs . today kids bring guns to school and every door has a metal detector.
  5. better to take the wrong? defrauded such words! I am reading the old testiment andhow serious God is about rules and regulations and themanner you treat one another. he is very detailed. In our culture it is often sue or be sued. I think we have teacher who will guide us inall things that come up in our life to me it is like telling a christian donot go to the dr. because God will heal you. I do not think God is in the dark and we go about doing things like taking people to court without his knowledge of the situation , i say we have a spirit and Jesus will guide us in what we do as we remain mindful of the scriptures. if our course if right it will turn out ok, if not then we may have to learn some more scripture !

    The Truth

    I think He id make us perfect and happy all the time. then sin happened because adam decided to sin, it iw written in the bible how the whole mess began quite clearly. The second Adam Jesus christ cleared things up nicely, now to accept Him as the one who Saved us form what adam did is up to each of us.

    The Truth

    I happen to believe Jesus saved us from more than death although that is plenty he also saves us from sin. why would we need a saviour if life is all about god playing cat and mouse with His people? I dunno dear no one wants their child hurt or to be betrayed, so your solution is what hate? Love God hate your neighbor? Nah lady Jesus commanded we love no he doesnt say be stupid and trust he didnt trust man... but we make mistakes and that is why he says forgivness is theother key .

    The Truth

    It is sin in our life that allows hurt and trouble. yes God get glory when we humble our self and learn from our trials . What is life without learning? some sin is handed down for generations, some blessings are handed down for generations it is promised in the bible that your childrens children will be blessed. Sin also goes down in generation, like a birth defect or a bad gene that causes issues in life. God doesnt hurt his children he doesnt abuse them to teahc them a lesson, lessons are leanred because we have free will and decide to do some stupid thing just to say man i wont do that again, why so Jesus can teach us the Gods way of right livng.

    Help

    You can ask them for the power of attorney to access their accounts. If they are not willing thenget a lawyer and go to court to seek it, you will have to prove why you think it may be better to handle their money, and the court can assign them an attorny who will help in their behalf. As far as the cross words that is just your dads choice, unless again you prove he is incapable of making sound decisions with his money and demand power of attorny. doesnt sound like he would comply. it isnt illegal to be in debt .
  10. lcm never went to trial . that is untrue. see how simple it really is?

    The Truth

    bramble I still am .
  12. the truth may not be the same as an opinion. I may say I saw a space ship last night, but unless some pictures are presented or enough evidence is proven to be acceptable in court it is my opinion. I can say the tree was green, and an expert comes in and says why a tree is green, and I have pictures of the tree being green, it turns into the truth in court the tree is green. it becomes evidence in and of itself. a dr's testimony is granted as expert as many others the ME all these experts testimony is considered expert because it isnt their opinion the tree is green they can prove it is green by facts. a Trial is to decide what the truth is . not what an opinion is. consequences are needed to maintain a degree of the truth being told. Otherwise it would be I think he did the crime , never did like the guy, sure he was the one. an opinion. two different things Bill.
  13. I was told by the BC to never ever write anything down!! Patterns do develope in our thinking and maybe by writing down what "bothers" you you can see how you think. Then you can change your thinking. Like I feel depressed when this happened so I sought comfort in this , and a pattern will develope of how you cope. this is not a unknown cosmic answer to problems in life it is how healthy people process issues and perform problem solving. the problem i have with these types of groups is.. who are they? What are their solutions and must you abide by their answer? all of that can get frightening and turn out just as wrong for you as the "devil spirit". Professional conseling has checks and balance and really has no motive other than skill sets that have been able to help others. the motive is money and helps that provide a service to another. What is this groups motive? whom
  14. Where is the evidence of faith? many claim they have this ideal yet it can not be proven, God is alive and yet the evidence eludes many more. If one wants to punish another of a crime we have a responsibilty to be honest to be truthful, and I do believe God has a huge hand in justice if truth is paramount. does that mean every man who another thinks is guilty should be punished as they see ought? no. Such is the killing fields of many inner city streets where to be a snitch is outside the rules of the common society. Where a four year can be shot because he stood at a bus stop with his dad, or a mom of three body is found in the middle of the day and no one knows how, or why she was shot in the head. IN both these crimes not one person would speak to the police, the mayor asked for the no snitch policy to stop, apparently the safe guards are n place, but to no avail. WHY? It may be fear fear of losing the same cummunity in which you live. You could be next. people may not report a crime because they have problems, well then who are they to complain about the crime running rampant in the street? it doesnt work both ways,accountability as a goal should be maintained by both the seeker and the sought, that is truth and justice. Why do some neighborhood become victims of their own self and not another? We have a curfew in my town, everyone off the street by ten o-clock, parents must be accountable to where those teens are tonite and every night, we enforce it by calling the police if a child or teen is standing on the street past 10. WE must be accountable to the neighborhood and the parents must be accoutable and the teen must be accountable. less crime. But do you see the civil liberties broken? indeed and those are the victims that should live in those inner streets .

So the Galapagos Islands could be hell in one moment and heaven in the next, and Julius Caesar could be a statesman in one moment and a butcher in the next, and Ecuadorian paper money could be traded for food, shelter, and clothing in one moment and line the bottom of a birdcage in the next, and the universe could be created by God Almighty in one moment and by a big explosion in the next--and on and on." - Galapagos

  17. Moddishwasher that is why pawtucket wants posters to report posts, I think so then you can hone in on the ugly ones i suppose. "the more eyes the better", was what he said. ask for a raise maybe, Is it really all about the love for you these days ?

    Im so old I take the time to grow the roses.
  19. "Bible quotations are probably unavoidable,but keep them brief-they should be insights, not teachings. written by satori0001
  20. I think it is people who want to somhow make sure they "know God" so they perform for the people. If a person says Im delivered then everyone looks good but most of all the person who did the performing. Jesus never advertised really the folks just came to him and not always thinking he was on a good track, they complained when John died, the woman caught in adultery didnt know what would happen next Jesus just happened to have been there when she was running form the crowd. Some did seek this Jesus like the guy who fell through the roof trying to get to him, the bottom line is I do not think people are mini Christs in the flesh competing for His throne. but some take that stance from the scripture I can do all things through HIM (hello HIM) and greater deeds can we do etc... the greater deed I believe is we can Now live in eternity not we can out perform the living Saviour of mankind. People sometimes think if i have holy spirit I can disount my sins. People also think if I sin I must discount any goodness from God to me. I think both thoughts are not in the least anything to do with Gods will that all people are whole and well and blessed.
  21. bumpy got suspended . i do not know if he can still read tho. matter??? it is only a question Tom I assume your saying no.
  22. He didnt give a name, Sue Smith Murdered her son. it was a story. did he know somone that happened to? i do not know he did present it as such but he never gave a name or a time. he was a story teller we tell sotrys everyday in our music and preachin , the old I knew a guy once is used often on GS. it doesnt implicate anyone .
  23. it is a past tense sentence. He was murdered by his mother. Im trying to use the words you want to be used. Now if VPW had said :He was murded by mother , then he could be in trouble for lible or slander, unless he could prove he had facts that prove his statement. he didnt he gave his opinion on what he thinks happened to the boy, he said he was run over by a car. We can say anything we like as long as we do not implicate another or accuse or give false information that can be proven other wise. If you say someone raped me , or another person and their is NO facts to prove it you could be in trouble. If you say I think that person looks like he may rape somone it can lead to trouble it is a slanderous statement. i write this only to clarify if your really confused on why sentence structure makes a difference.
  24. Tom Strange are you Bumpy? do you sometimes play him on GS?
