what the hey man it is the approach. if you have a remedy that is a good thing. the thing is people have to eat it or shoot it up or something. for it to work. and few enjoy the taste or the prick. Dr. weirwille said we could go with God alone but no need to...blah blah so even by his estimation we need to get along with the "others". difficult to do when you think they are all stupid or less than you. the conviction you speak of is noble, but as the rodents ( i love the mouse) states the little people could use some help with the fire and the heat has been on for all to feel. jesus christ didnt come to save those who have the truth. He is the truth. pretty a much it is the rest of us God had a plan for. look i love folks to and i have even admired a person occasionly, for an aspect of what they have accomplished in life. then something happens and I realize they are human and something about them just bugs me. not right. I can continue to admire or respect the area i learned from, but realize more is out there to learn from. it is the approach man. soldier you may be, but what is your weapon of choice ? words? your or those of vpw? both men and both open to some kind of issue with someone, someday. such is life. you got stuck man. break free. do what you must live in the freedom of what you know as truth, stop draggin a dead man around with you. yes THEY are doing that by your estimation. it doesnt hurt them , your the one who sounds rather bully and it wont work to change any defense or attack it will only demand everyone draw their own arms. fight flesh and blood till the cows come home. and you will fight alone. Dr. weirwille told you you do not have to because of the body of Christ. you end up with a angry bitter nearly insane mind who effects zero change and helps no one . this idea of they hated Jesus so they hated weirwille so they must hate me............ is kind of screwed up man. many loved Jesus christ , and he Im certain He loved YOU. take out the anger at people stop fighting the flesh and blood that God so loved He gave us HiS SON. buy a hose .

wow to process your thoughts in a book about death is indeed remarkable. I think it will help people year. what a loving effort to help others and yourself. im a bit confused is this written for the dead? ("self help book for the dead" )I think the feedback may be limited in that case. but that is just me .

fair is fair right rascal? indeed it is about experiences.. for everyone. so where is your proof? proof? fair is fair? really if the standard is any type proof of a experience , I think this forum would be done. As highway states everyone has an opinion.. and it is often those who yell the rudest loudest and longest who get read. or at least "known" as a poster and that is what is the standard here.

I think once they got to be adults we shift our thinking some. I have anyways. now they make their own choices and their own mistakes with their children. and they do not want to make the same mistakes their father and I did. they wont they will have new ones to carry. but i can only go so far and claim the all truth in knowing how to d it without damage. divorce hurts kids, and yet look at the stats on that and how the parents fight. alcohol and drug abuse in families. a handicapped or very sick child can rob the healthy ones from their needs. a sick parent can not meet the needs of a child , life is messy . twi is one factor but I ask be gentle with them and you forgive yourself and them. we are only human God knows. parenting is a long haul , talk to them allow them the peace of knowing mistakes happen because we didnt know then what we know now. because some day they will also learn about the fact when we know better we do better.

yeah well i do not believe it. I worked with a guy who opened doors for our boss said everything she wanted t hear and told her she was all the world needed. to the rest of the women he was the most abusive man verbaly and degraded us every chance we got. the fact your husband does not say or do things to you means nothing to me. I know a guy who bows to his wife every demand yet he has left a trail of abuse in his first wife and children that should have put him in jail. he needs and loves you as you define your relationship that does not mean he is incapable of abuse to others. some of the worst crimes are comminted by pillars of the community who have done very well in what life determines as success, yet surprise that mild mannered neighbor who was so sweet did WHAT? i think of the wifes who had no clue thier hubby was doing what they were doing till they got caught because he is a good husband and father at home. im not saying your man is any thing i do not know the guy but your theory of how he defended you proves nothing to me about how he treats people.

Excie i hear you. I live in a small town, next to a large city that has a very high crime rate. my son and daughters have been questioned by the police about crimes. they have big mouths but i was often concerned of how much right and wrong it was. I told my kids that to ask the cops to allow a parent to be present... and yes the cops do and ( I think should ) use intimidation. why? we do not live in a beaver cleaver world of bad guys and teens and young children do commint serious crimes including running drugs for money and being a look out. Parents of these kids are involved in major crime waves of the city and cops know who is trouble for the most part. if my son was ever arrested at that point I say the first thing out of your mouth is I want a lawyer and my parents the parents part is not a garuntee the cops must stop or will shut up but the attorny is BY LAW a right for every person. they have had their rights read to them.. and in them it states they have a right to an attorny present during any questioning, not a right to parents under questioning and the cops can ONLY hold you if you are under arrest , they can not question you even if they have a search warrant. i know my daughter has told the local cops to shut the buck up and get out of her face and they do not HAVE to shut up it is just a conversation she can walk away and they can not hold anyone unless they are under arrest. so I would tell my kid to ask if he was under arrest, if not walk away and tell the cop you do not need to speak to them they are at the service of the american citizen not the other way around. that being said I will speak of a crime that happened this past year in the city i live next door to a three year old baby was shot in the head during a conversation between his father and a person in a car. this was at a public pool area where 100 of people witnessed the shooting. no one saw or heard a thing. cops im sorry are not exactly the honor role of citizens and do what they must, even if it means whatever it takes. they deal with the scum of society on a daily bases and know how to trick the cons and manipulate anything they feel they may need to , for the good of the community, maybe. I believe cops are or can be corrupt as well it is the nature of the beast. but without them what is the choice?

I pray every day. I think when i do not know what to do, when I feel like i cant handle the situations im in prayer gives me someone to trust in being able to handle it. not just over whelming situations every day situations. people, i pray for my enemys. alot. loved ones, relationships. to get the bills paid most all of life. my car my house all of it. i do not believe i can hang on to life without prayer.

Im not dying so it is easy for me to say this. Im ready, some days more trhan others. my life has not been easy or beautiful, it has had momnets of goodness and years of hell forsaken survival. Im sorry for it as well. maybe i do need prayer. but it seems to me sleep is better than this day by day stuff. I do try , I really do. and then life happens again. so yes Im ready. but i am alive because in case the children need help, if I am able oftentimes Im not because money is and has always been an issue. so yes im ready., but i would not want to hurt the children.

We cant fix our past, being invoved in twi changed who we are. i think JL and Js are willing t accept this even if they need to continue to tweek the reality of it with some changes to please the people. Mark still wants to be a super hero. change the world make a difference be the ONE and have a group God loves the best. twi taught competition no doubt, and the strife comes with that. for me it got old a long time ago. the real world isnt so evil and Jesus can handle any issues that come along without falling off the throne if we do not seek the dream with all we got or had or all. peace is a god thing guys. relax a little. with age it comes I think .

The memory impaired will not seek social interactions because it is to difficult to communicate when you do not remember what a person just told you and it is embarasing. some do not know they are diseased others are in denial altogether. no one wants to think they are going "crazy". anger is often a very strong emotion attached to the symptoms , and denial and just not remembering you didnt remember when all of your life you have done just fine. many take it as a personal attack and avoid interaction with any possible sort of confusion, and a short term memory is confusion when you remeber what happened in detail just five years ago or last year depending on the course and strength of the disease . they go to the same store, they drive the same route, they do not change any pattern in life. the pans MUST be put back exactly where they were or eles it is very possible they will forget where they are. so life becomes very rigid and exact or it is to much stress. meeting new people is useless they wont remember them. and as the progress of the disease continues time erodes and even further memory fails. my friend was slapped across her face by her mm who was 80 years old when she said she was her daughter. In her world she was still living at home with her parents a young girl then, never married and certainly a virgin and she took that comment as a insult. you often hear folks calling for their parents in nursing home although they may have been dead for many many years.. it is because their mind has erased all memory until that time in life . then death is the final impact as they lose the abiltiy to eat and drink and "return to the fetus state and die.

I will say it again , maybe some of you will get this, NOW they have issue with proclaiming rumor and what people are saying as hear say and gossip. and they think it is not how the bible says a christian should behave. but I remember when that is all they had to start their off shoot and it worked quite well for them at the time , when they both got fired from the way. so whatever, time allows people to forget or not.

I liked hcw post . the honest part is the toughest for me, it is so easy to say" well twi, my job, my kids, my health did this that is why Im here! My life has to be this way because... (put hands on hips and shout if you must) then be honest. it is your life, and life is one HUGE responsibility for each person. It is so much safer and easier to allow another to say how it all should be and then claim either ignorance or just blame them. no responsibility involved in that thinking and no "authentic self". the problem with having a self is guess what? we fail , we make mistake , we really can hurt another. and to be you one has to say I did that and that is who i was , or am and I want change. then the change comes and so many struggles come along with it, a divorce maybe, but now you wont have the added income of the spouse or have to pay out child supportetc.. a change of career may mean leaving you friends and family and moving to an area more suitable to what you want to do, very scary and lonely . The group may have some problems but hey they do not effect my life my being IM happy and every day it chews at you anyways, till you can cmpletely deny truth as you really see it and hear it. self erodes to group think. it isnt twi as stated in hcw stated, we can compromise who we are in everything we do, and some families really teach a person only one path in life and to deviate would mean total withdrawl and alienation. So the consept of free thinking is extremely if not impossibe for them . they will seek a cult or a lfie that is dictated to them and consider it a good happy life. that is ok. I think one thing that helps is finding others who think like you do. who get you. the real you. then empower your mind to believe in the responsibility that you are indeed accoutable to God to live YOUR life for him, not your boss or spouse or child or church, your friends. and if you do not believe in God realize it is your responsibility for your own self then to be happy, to engage in the active pursue of peace and happiness in life. to own your life is to own your life. and life isnt pretty sometimes, it takes great courage (the lord will tell ya that) to say oh my I disagree, im not ok with that ,when those your with do not understand or get it. your alone with God and the lord then, which bottom line is what it is all about. it aint easy trusting a invisble source of strength andpower. But I believe Jesus is truly my best friend, and knows me best adn I trust HIM . He has not left me yet. so the change can happen I must trust Him , the call is one of peace and happiness. Im crying now , others will be with ya in love with the Lord, on the path to changing your life new faces, new time new everything sometimes and they are knowing the Lord is bringing you in with them for a season to love once again. We encourage and help and serve one another as we grow to know and trust the LORD. it is all about changing and going where He Leads trusting He knows best. and it aint easy cause it is done with people , those behind and those going forward. who I am is His. He is my friend I go where He leads because that is just where I can be best , in every part of who I am, and no denial with that guy. none at all. He is all abut truth and freedom and life.

The best marriage i ever saw was a good friend who in her late thirties married a 19 your old guy. whooo hoo huh? Well his parents loved her every day from the start of that relationship. they had a very common insterest square dancing FREAKS! every night enjoyed and danced their life away. the only problem was of course children as her late day determined that was not going to happen and he never ever bothered with that (he had 19 brothers and sisters!) but they had foster kids and did so much for them and loves them all as their own. Sometimes she would metion what about when she gets old she didnt want him to have to care for her elderly body when they could no longer dance but it never stopped them for a moment. sadly he died young at age of 46 of cancer that got him in less than 3 moths after 25 years of the happiest marriage i ever ever saw. they were always doing something dancing . helping being together every moment in time. she was just stunned and in her 60's now alone looking for a young guy ( I laugh at her) I tell her it isnt the same there will never be another guy like that and she isnt 30 something anymore but she is trying! 50 is her very limit now and she will consider only if he is ehalthy and still working etc.. it is funny funny. she was dam near consider a child molester when they got married but the life they had was absolutely fabulous . they had no regrets. do what you want in life ya only go around once and you can not predict what tommorrow will bring.

pond replied to Shifra's topic in About The Way
The problem with God is he is truly beyond our understanding(his ways are so much higher we just do not get it ) so we fill in the unknown with what we can study, thoughts magic spells experiences life. none of it really helps, but it makes for groups to get together and it helps justify our own fear and desire to be more powerful than another. But Jesus Christ is the difference now his "legacy" is one any person can grasp , simple guy doing what He thinks is best under some very stressful conditions in life. the outcome of His life is we get a glimpse of who and what God is to all of mankind. and he is our brother and says we can do it to. and I believe we do. and the key is to love one another because we should know by now how people can be and are , not so complicated really our lifes have more in common than not . At the end of the day the bottom line is who did we love and how it made the difference for them. for everyone. some think God needs them, um not really He created you, kind of knows the very fibers you came from in the dirt and has few of no surprises of how we can be. He doesnt need us to work for HIM to make a new animal or to breed more kids (although he loves when we do that!) He doesnt need us to understand Him when He has said we never really can because He is God and well we are just not. So what is the deal then ? He wants us to love HIM and ask Him for help and be a good guy and live a good life. He wants us to be happy. but we get confused, stupid and fearful, and doubting and complicated. and we make bad choices. and other options appear so very attractive till we get hurt. So he sent Jesus Christ, and He is alive and well and helping us make it to the world in which all these wonderings and doubts will stop. He wants us to love one another because it is our comfort and His comfort in life. because He first loved us. I can only be thankful by loving another, i cant see feel or help or sell Jesus Christ in any manner, what is reality to me is the people in my life I can see feel help and be loved by and love. I can never prove Jesus to another soul but I can show them what love looks like. to the LORD that is our job. and it is the LORDS job to make sure all of the parts of the loving we do come together for "good". It helps him make a nice bride a nice city a powerful impact on the world. and God is worshiped then because even tho we are far away from HIM and do not understand His ways His will is done, because Jesus Christ always does the fathers will, and Jesus is in this life with us for better or worse. Folks who do not believe Jesus is alive or the bible story are indeed in on the action because the action is just plain Life. Jesus came to sinners, to people good bad indifferent all what we are, He is a teacher, a Rabbi, a friend and so much more to all. We are here, So is He. -

good i think when you end up feeling like cr@p after a conversation with a christian or not it is not a loving another it is abuse. thx socks that is a good tool for me when they put all that information together. and notice where he says after you accept the lord to find him ? NO he says to go to the first christian "practicing christian" you meet and they will know what you should do next! amazing stuff isnt it? thx
