Well one can hope when they grow up and have children they can recognize the sacrifice, maybe on a good day, yet unfortunately i see alot of grand children being raised by their gramma. it is worth it i think it was.

I think everyone needs to be ok with who they are and what they are doing in life. yet if a person says he/she wants to be a stay at home mom yet can not afford to it is not healthy to justify the "work" they do. but if your fine then who cares what others say? well i was a working mom often two or three jobs at a time, and "stay at home moms" think working moms are less than and certainly not as capable of meeting the childrens needs as they are! they think somhow in the scheme of things their children are happier healthier and better off than a working mom and wife. and that isnt right and hurts. so it goes both ways. my own daughters have been instructed to not depend on men to support them all people need to have a clear sense of indepence and self and be capable of meeting their own goals and needs. it is very unfair to rely on another to make your life whole. a temporary absence from reaching goals or working can be done only if your self esteem and ability to maintain a healthy personal and financial perspective, regardless of the person supporting the household. i see alot of unhealthy relationships whee one hold alot of power over the other because of the money.

I believe in work. my house is a mess, so im embarrassed to have people come over and that is the root of that problem. how one defines work is up to them and their own beliefs. a sense of esteem comes from being part of a community that is able to provide for yourself and family. money is power, deny it and lose all of yours and we can talk. i have a person in my life who loves to cook and would invite me and my family over to eat and then want us to do all the dishes, i said NO and she got angry. well then when you invite people over because you love them and want to cook food for them , lay out the conditions before i accept, i have the ability to cook and clean up after my own self , she went after my girls when they got old enough and my teen daughter told her "I do not do dishes" and she never did we always had a dishwasher!! so she told me to make her i told her my daughter was right she doesnt do dishes, what a scowl i got. I think it comes from that generation believing the youth should take care of the elder and using them to work when they are to lazy to do it . well times have changed even in the country farm generations children no longer have to work the farms for the family. and that is the mentality of those ohio farms, i know i grew up on a farm. thank god i was a girl. it was bad enough. the boys had it worse. we have labor laws , for a reason .

Certain mind sets live by the code of "one day at a time" well it doesn't work it is part of the co-depended cycle. AA says it alot when they are trying to explain to a drunk that just because you didn't pour alcohol into your body today life pretty a much can still suck. Christians use it when a loved one is not getting better or healed from a serious injury. i say God is still on the throne alot. twi used these type of predictions to motivate evangelism, to give reason to abandon all for the cause. The effect of this type of thinking we will all have to answer to Jesus tomorrow is two-fold one it allows a person to think in a fearful mode.. i better be all I can be for the ministry today to be sure I'M OK and gonna get in , and /or I got nothing to lose the world is going to end so it zaps any motivation to progress into a manner of the future of hope like normal people do. cult heads do not plan for the future it is written we are here on a temporary amount of time and we had better use it helping the only thing that is truth as dictated by the cult. i think of wacco jeez Louise those who got out of the fire and tell their story those who still think he was a prophet of God still believe the space ship is coming for them, thoughts of lifestyle or goals and any growth or progress just stop. I believe that is why so many will lay down life for the cause. easy to say yeah well that is because they were brainwashed by some man who said God spoke to them about the future and predicated drama.. not me I'm a Christian i go by what the book titled the bible says !hello Christian doctrine is really filled with doom and not very pretty quite frightening actually all it needs to stop Gods beloved from seeking a blessed fun prosperous life is one thought of the future being predicated by a crazy man or woman. they are true the revelations i believe that , i also believe we do not know when they will happen anymore than we know the hour of our death. if we knew then satan would know, clearly that would stop any person from being born again and reaching for the kingdom. i tried to begin a thought about God as a crutch this is a huge area i see people USE his words as a crutch to not motivate to wards a better life or education and i warn you plenty of idiots are out in the world today willing and able to take advantage of that type of thinking to their own greedy gain . do we not know this already? it is fear motivation and it is not Gods will for any of his children to stop living life out of fear of the world ending. and if it does end just how can any one stop it or help another by frightening another into submission of a mind set? Jesus wants us to make HIM king because he loves us not because we are afraid of the two headed beasts on their way to town to eat us .

This is really where IM at with all these ministries and groups and people. I just love them. with age i have mellowed considerably, i think stf do a good work ( it is better than dealing drugs or soemthing right?) do they make mistakes are they human do people get hurt? probably so,,, and it is not my job to fix that stuff anymore. God and Jesus have our hearts all of us that i believe without any doubt. they can handle things when they go a little crazy. I help where i can in life i "bloom where im planted". I made the decision to not involve myself in PP andi was alone without anyone of them understanding why I didnt wnat a darn thing to do with it. and i still can give you a reason why exactly, that was my utter spirit within saying NO! and i got lucky and feel i did the right thing for me at the time. hind sight now says maybe i did. but i do not judge or balme them for getting into something that brought a trial or trouble to them God knows i have had my share. i love them because Jesus love me. AND because i have found some of their work very helpful to my life, i am not compelled to telephone them or write on a web site or get in their face for a discussion about what is going on in their personal life or their business at stf, nor have they asked me to do so. i try to live peacefully with all men .

DO YOU THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE DIRTY BATHWATER?
pond replied to rosestoyou's topic in About The Way
it depends on what subject your talking about. the context of the discussion larry, it is a catch phrase used in conversation. what is good or bad will be up to each individual, in the context of the conversation, so the answer will vary. oakspear covered this question in his post. baby is good! if your foot is still "good" then keep it even tho the toes might have to go. understand? but if the foot is "bad" that should go as well. it is up to a medical Dr. I suppose in the example you cited to decide what has to stay or go, and up to you to decide if the Dr. is again"good" for you to rely on to cut off what. my Dr. is Jesus the physical of my soul. He is who i try to keep as big brother I am quite His baby sister. -
DO YOU THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE DIRTY BATHWATER?
pond replied to rosestoyou's topic in About The Way
yes this is how i hear it as well, I think of John Lynn when i hear this saying, and if I suppose to speak for him what he meant when he says it, it is twi was not good but its people those He wished to serve were good, so that is why he keeps going on to do what he feels he was called to do. and for me today it is the same the blesings i may have recieved from being involved in the Way international can be kept as a joy to my life and the "bathwater" or bad can just go down the drain and be gone from my thoughts and life. -
it is is your syllabus after pfal it has questions about the receiving the holy spirit today book. a butch of question you fill in the answers. then you send the answers to HQ, to say you took the class and can take the intermediate class. most of mine are still blank. I'm not sure about the intermediate class having one

I'm concerned about the railroads , maybe cause i live in a rail town, yet seriously do you have any idea how much TOXIC waste they carry across our nation everyday? OK not eew stuff I'm talking about the stuff that makes an atomic bomb look like a fire cracker as far as nuclear waste. tons of it everyday. flying by waiting to fall off the rails that are so sorry ,it is pathetic! we have derailments all the time in new York, like i said i live in a railroad town so we are most aware. most of it doesn't go on TV. local news only because it is that common and not exciting news till a nuclear waste one falls or a butch of folks get killed not just three or four at a time. . this last one missed homes by inches 17 cars railroad cars full of stuff all over the place the rail line failed just before the bridge , off they tumbled from the bridge on to a four lane highway with cars on it. no one was hurt but that was the utter grace of God. so yeah i get concerned and i will say i am thinking about these bridges here as i go we have many of bridges we have a canal system that crosses our entire STATE! they say the bridges are checked by humans , they have machine that does an ultra sound in some states but it is expensive and many states cant afford them. i cant think about it to much or i will get paranoid driving i think.

Is it pathetic ? My life is pathetic sometimes too. they do not advertise that. my disappointment and sadness really is with I like their bible stuff. i will tell you a story , i was listening to a tape once and mark said you know like this idea your life would be all this better and blessed if ( you had organized your life better) OK mark let me tell you i was at my home in a mess just lost my job pending surgery I mean to tell ya my life was pathetic and about all i had was those tapes to bring me hope. trust me i was far from ORGANIZED. and i fell apart now I'm not even going to get along with my tape sermons people and that is it i am not organized I'm going to hell . my point is i was really hurt and felt like such a loser after listening to that tape. so I prayed about it. and I began to change my mind about what they were saying on the tapes they sounded different less everything. then mark was removed .. and i hear story's on this web site i don't telephone them why bother for me it isn't worth the long distance call. I have e-mailed them all of them but with limited success. i am not so sure God uses the reaping and sowing idea as punishment Mark, that is a harsh , they may be dealing with fall outs from bad decisions. i was sad over CES because and I am sad because this happened again to folks who have alot of knowledge of the bible who can help others learn and who say they want to serve. it was as they say the camel that broke the straw. or something . now i do not really try to understand their tapes or think about giving them money anymore. but it has not been oh well see ya for me i think it is very sad.

it is boring catcup do not flatter yourself. frankly i do not need the attention do you?

Above? not really i do have a college degree , big deal even a degree doesn't make one an expert. those who counsel victims are highly experienced and educated, malpractice insurance, and a license is required. anyone can listen to anyone they chose. the INTERNET is a wide playing field . a friend sometimes can help a person more than all the professional counseling in the world . love helps everyone. i minimized nothing i merely asked a question . you guys can look up all the information and help you need in life on the internet .

no Mark i do not get the whole PP thing at all, and when they did a "practice session" at the fellowship I attended I walked out before it started. it ended up causing the fellowship to break up and dissolve tho, those who did go for it couldn't get along and ended up not speaking . the last time i saw john was before he met his new wife, i think, she wasn't with him and he was single. i do not go to their official get tog ethers. Will they recover? I'm not sure what you mean by recover. they seem the same to me as always, i do not get personally involved with them, and as far as i know i have not seen any new books i am interested in to buy. define recover please. do i think they will stay in business and carry-on doing what they have been doing? YES. crap do i know how to post so it looks stupid or what? sorry but you understand

it is funny wg on a personal note you bring this up i had dinner with my son a couple of weeks ago a rare treat, he is away at college and recently moved out of the dorms into his own home. well i asked him if he has a girl friend and he told me of a nice irish girl in the reserves with a child, now he has lived on his own for 7 years wg. but my hair went up i looked away from my food into his face and said your are really NOT going to move in with her are you? im sure she might be alot of fun , but IM fussy and I know my son I adore my son , and he likes and is very capable of haivng women do what ever he wants when he says so(he is very cute and has a good mind) and she has a kid already without a father. he really assured me once again all that I taught him to know better and that will not happen, and I ended the with "good because i would hate to get a grand child with a "mother" I would have to kill or something". he agreed . I do know where your coming from wg it is tough these grands MINE have my heart much worse than my own children did. my daughter is the best mom I ever saw, and his dad gives me plenty of respect as well as her. he is a good dad too, course he is friends with my ex husband who may have given him fair warning on just how to behave.

yes child birth such as a midwife nurse Dr etc related field are in the medical field. a "doula" is a helper a support an aid and is classified as NON medical, your may work in a medical facility or around medical personel as an aid but they are cetified not professional and that isnt eve required in most states. all certifications work under a licensed educated professional. I'm not saying it is good work but you are not on a interdisciplinary team as an aid or helper to those in labor or pregnant. Listen catcup i really do not want to make the time to deflate your ego, but the bottom line is abby is right anyone can look up what you write on an internet and you really have nothing as far as expertise or education on paper other than you think so written in bold. watching baby's gush out for a few years and a college student hardly an expert makes. you can pretend all you want and I'm truly happy people love you and think your worth listening to for advice. anything to help.

a daula is a non medical person who "aids " pregnate women. no education is required. possibly some training or a cert from the state. what is a CCE? a certificate ? I know what NBCC is. well. So you worked with pregnate woman and aided women since 1989 in a non medical field, and your working on going to school now with the dual major, but have not yet worked as a professional . your expertise comes from experience working with and for women, while seeking education to pursue a professional career. ok thank you for your quick reply.
