Well said Newlife, What You, Mark Clark, Wordwolf, Jonny Lingo and Tom have said have been the most personally understandable to me from my life and my experience! I appreciate everyone elses posts here throughout; but we all apply what we find the most fitting!

A lot of Health care and related Intuitions would find a refined version of this really valuable!!!

Kenwas, Have a piece of pie and some coffee while your reading and getting your bearings! Hope You enjoy your stay and find the pieces to your puzzles!!!

Mr and Mrs RafWhat a joyous event to look forward to!!!

Tom Thank You!!! I learned a lot of different things from your post as I read and pondered it...I learned for one thing, that it is more than okay to sift out the bad and to retain the treasures and the truth! I already knew this in my own way; but it was really nice to have you confirmed it in the loving way that You did! Oh how I needed to hear Your post!!! Thanks again!!! See you in the sky!!! :) I hope that You understand my reply; but if You don't it is okay...It's something GOD wanted me to understand for me and I know that if anyone else really understands this, it is because they were seeking a similar answer themselves! With Love, RainbowsGirl

Happy Birthday((((((( Radar)))))))))!!! God Bless You and keep You and Grant You many more Birthdays well worth celebrating!!! With Love, RainbowsGirl

I think I would vote for Melissa Lawson too Act2; and for all the same reasons You would vote for her...They are all very good! Here's Hoping she wins! Bluegrass sure can grow on you Dmiller :) My taste in music appreciates all the music that I have been introduced to!

Man nor any other created thing or being in all their folly cannot change or alter anything GOD sets in place for everything GOD does He establishes it. I tend to believe that GOD himself is a "black and white" thinker! His mercy and attributes are not His shades of gray...they are as unmoveable or unalterable as GOD Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Pro 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: [and] meddle not with them that are given to change Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counsellor hath taught him? Isa 40:14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding? Isa 40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isa 55:8 ¶ For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.

Happy Birthday ((((((Raf)))))!!!May God Bless You thoroughly on this Your Special Day...and throughout Your Lifetime!!! and to go with the Pizza With Love, RainbowsGirl

Thank You for share this Dmiller! Amazing how much can be said in few words and done so well in a little amount of time!

Thanks OCW, This soooo Hilarious!

That should be very interesting! Thanks Sky, I will be watching!

Great thread (((Bow))))! Early on they didn't twist these verses in my area... they taught all of the Books of Peter pretty right on with... no agenda...but later on when the focus shifted to narcissism, no one ever taught it anymore for very obvious reasons! Regardless if anyone reproofed or corrected anyone of them, who reeked such havoc as they did, no matter who or the amount of reproof or correction given, I think they would have still turned a deaf ear and a blind eye and covered it up from exposure; for many of the reasons Dot stated in her thread "Satanic Blindness" and because they were full of the seven abomination. I think they were responsible somewhat for the veil on Us! Pro 6:5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Pro 6:6 ¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Pro 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Pro 6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest. Pro 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Pro 6:10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: Pro 6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. Pro 6:12 ¶ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. Pro 6:13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Pro 6:14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Pro 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. Pro 6:16 ¶ These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Pro 6:19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Pro 6:20 ¶ My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: Pro 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck. Pro 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. Pro 6:23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] I agree Sunesis Peter pulled no punches! He was amazingly direct...He sure learned from His mistakes!

((((Dot)))) You have done an excellent job! You have done a wonderful job with this thread and it all ring so very true and is so crystal clear in GOD's Word! For the past few years I have struggled too, to understand GOD's Word beyond TWI's abuses and errors of it's usage! I started trying to just read it and study it on my own. It was difficult at best, as old TWI clichés, whether or not word based would creep in to distract me and lead me off in various tangents. Then I decided to listen to audio commentaries verse be verse using blue Letter Bible .Com I like the background history and detail that they provide. Hey and praying and talking to GOD first wakes me up spiritual...I just need more consistency with that! Then I read it on my own and I am amazed at how much my understanding has increased. I only hope and pray that there is enough time left for me to relearn and recover myself too! Right now I am working on Daniel and Revelation and do we all remember that we were taught not bother reading Revelation....which is definitely wrong teaching after you really study it: Rev 1:3 Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand. I hope and pray that EVERYONE reads this and ponders it deeply and recovers themselves as well!!! Great Job Dot!!! GOD Bless Your loving and thoughtful heart!!!

In 1975 I took the "Renewed Mind" class for the first time! I went to the opening night class and I was excited! We were all pumped to learn as much as we could! TWI was not as corrupted then or at least we didn't know about it in Wisconsin...and we had loving honest leadership J. Cl@y, Gilb~rt Pr~de and many more following them! This is not to say that some did not become corrupted in later years We all genuinely loved and helped one another; we were the hippies and the flower children and their subsequent "babes".... We were heavily affect by the 60's.... and baby boomer standards! Now looking to find GOD's standards! Probably why I don't fit into this current pluralistic society of today with it's all encompassing and ever changing values! values change ...GOD's standards never change! A value is not a standard! TWI leadership made huge errors in all areas, caused many much evil with their deceitful corruptions, but I learned one of many very important things in those years I learn how to search GOD's word and learn HIS heart and be His for eternity! It was a true desire and hunger to know GOD that kept me in TWI. I knew so many people who needed and wanted help; and I wanted to give and help! GOD has saved me so many many times throughout my life. May more times than i am sure that I know of. In those days my early day in TWI, it was considered semi-safe to hitch-hike....the 60' and 70's! It might help you to understand that back then I was a naive flower child... and absolute trust and love was part of my make-up! I had a great deal of trouble believing that anyone could or would desire to be intentionally evil! I had just read and studied the gospels and I wanted to understand them as much as I could to help people the way that Jesus Christ did! I was getting ready to take the "Advanced Class" Little did I know that GOD was getting me ready to live, grow and learn so I could face all challenges to come! One time when I was hitch-hiking is an example that conveys this time. I always witnessed to all my rides...so I was never scared...How could GOD allow anyone to hurt me...it has always worked for me..It always will! Hey, You can be sure I did use the wisdom and knowledge of the word I had learned as well! I always asked GOD what to do and whom to ride with! This time though as the driver drove passed my Road I became a little concerned; and as I was about to tell Him that; we were immediately pulled over by detectives who in no uncertain terms informed me that this man I was riding with was their number one suspect in the serial murders in my area...and asked me how I would like my next stop to be on a slab in the morgue. I was of course very thankful that GOD had them there to save me. I decided then to pay more attention to the news even though it was a worldly thing and we had been encouraged to concentrate heavy if not solely on GOD and his word. As usual I knew that something had to be wrong with that imbalanced instruction...It just didn't fit with other scriptures and when that happened I just found the balance and made no obvious issue of it....As I wasn't too into debating issues...just looking for the Truth of GOD's word and how to love GOD to the best of my ability! Now back to the Renewed Mind class; I just had to lay down some back ground...Seeing peoples hearts is a really a fiercely important issue to understanding anything written; and seeing people's individual hearts means more to me, than I can convey alone here and now...I would always much rather be face to face or at least voice to voice!!!!! On the next day I received a called from my Gramma...My Parents were tooooooo upset to have called....! My Brother Gary was dead! This was a horrible shock to me! My roommate Vet@ Ca$$tile loving went home with me for the funeral! I was devastated and heart broken; so it meant everything to me that she was there with me! I cannot explain fully just how incomprehensible Gary's loss was to me. Then to further find out that he had been murdered seemed to even more overwhelmed me; because no one in my family would have it investigated. They would accept the corner's ruling that he had committed suicide, even knowing that he had not!!!! His first job and first week as an iron worker; He rode to work with a friend of my older brother. He is the man whom I believe killed Gary. He was well known for his volatile fits of rage! They had stopped at a bar to cash their checks, but couldn't...saw my older brother. Then went to another bar to cash them; where that man the driver got into a fight and broke some guy's nose! Then they left to come home! My brother was found with his head in a pool of blood three inches deep. At the hospital they cut off his clothes. The chalk pencil in his pocket had not been broken. There were no bruises cuts or scrapes on His body! The coroner reported that He died of a force blow to the head, which caused his brain to shift immediately, herniate and burn out! Yet the driver said he was upset and jumped out out of the car at 50 miles per hour! As so often it is, as here the evidents speaks loudly and clearly. Yet,the investigation was minimal at best! The man whom I believe killed my brother will now await GOD's judgment! There are so many people that I would hate to be in their shoes. Tough job GOD has being the searcher of all hearts and righteous judge of all!!! When we got back Vet@ knew how despondent I was and let me to lay down till my make up class would begin! When she tried to wake me up I could hear her calling me and getting other people to try to get me up. I could hear them all; But I could also hear another stronger more pervasive insistent voice telling me you don't have to get up....over and over again drowning them all out! I thought that it was my own inner voice, the one that you talk things over with yourself with... or at least I do this. They went and got Gilb~rt Pr~de our branch leader...He had a heart of gold and the wisdom of the word! Next thing I knew I was thrown or layed on the floor. Rev Pr~de was over me commanding a devil spirit/spirits to come out of me! I could hear the end of it when I stopped listening to the pervasive voice telling me I did not have to get up and heard GP's voice loudly! Then I woke up and he loving told me that I would have never woken up with out him casting it/them out! I for one was thankful!!! If You knew me you would know that what people think, assess and judge randomly means very little to me, especially compared with what is true and right. I was treated with as much love as Jesus Christ gave those He cast devil spirits out of! Everyones continued to love and help me heal from my brothers murder and reinforced ed in me the absolute power of GOD's LOVE!!! It doesn't matter to me whether it was a devil spirit or not; nor does it matter whether I was possessed or not, nor whether some might have feared me or thought evil of me or less of me! What does matter to me is the love, compassion and life lessens that I have received from GOD and my brothers and sisters. Thank YOU GOD and All!

Act2, Is it the Country version of the ??? one on the FOX net the name escapes me now. What channel and time is it on (central time for me)?

Thanks bfh! :) Cuil is Cool!!!

Belle, Indeed this is interesting! Just reading all the variety of posts in this café is merely one factor that indicates to me it is far more a free will choice that changes our proclivity than our physical chemistry and the agents that act upon it. I know that in varying degrees brain chemistry and hormonal changes occur frequently throughout our lives and may have pronounced affects/effects; but the human will and self control can override this, in my opinion/experience... (I have a background in electro-nuero-diagnostic technology)...and I believe that the spiritual effects factor in heavily as well! I have had a fairly challenging life in a vast number of ways; and if I have an excess of serotonin, I must be somewhat immune to it's affects, because I make my choices based on my standards, not how I feel (edited for grammar and spelling)
