    Christians think that they are the only ones going to a better place on the other side. Perhaps, they have their own little fenced off area. Perhaps, the fence keeps them from seeing the infinite outside their little spot. Oh well.

    To quote it from the book "Barefoot Zen"

    If we take away, name, career, titles, rank or social position, gender or material status, who or what are we?

    We are not always faced with that profound question, we go through motions of life unconcerened about fundamentals and cornerstone one is what is really the truth. Sometimes though something happens that forces us to look deep inside to find what it is really that matters to us the most, and what it is we are living for. In those moments of sudden flash we are transformed, we see things clearly, it is not a religious experience, though some people like to see it that way. It is the moment we are finally faced with our own demons and are made better for it. Hence, the truth is something very personal that is reflection of each individaul soul

    Hi,

    I agree with mouthy :)

    John 14: 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life."

    All the best,

    Stephen

    I disagree with you Satanus I don't think I am better then anyone else on this planet. Christian or not

    We all have to stand up before God and answer to Him. I hope that I am good enough to recieve the gift

    of life eternal where ever that place may be.

    I don' t condemn anyone, that is up to God and I try to peaceable with all. I have a big heart full of love.

    And Grace, don't sell yourself short. We all err from time to time even me orangefatcat. I love to have

    have a little mischief in my life. I like to laugh and be naughty everynow and then. My halo isn't highly polished it

    is tarnished in places.

    Truth is....we are all punished for seeking knowledge about the truth of our creation.

    Adam and Eve were punished for seeking knowledge.

    Ex-Jws are punished, shunned, and called names, for seeking to verify organizational feedings. If it is even suspected they might engage in truth seeking, they are "watched", scrutinized, and hounded by the enforcers.

    What is it that makes truth so dangerous to know?

    Could it be that it threatens the power of the controllers?

    I consider myself a Christian... But your are wrong as far as I am concerned

    I DONT think only those who say they are Christians are going to a better place

    Christians think that they are the only ones going to a better place on the other sideI have said it a hundred times .My God is looking at hearts .HE will decide WHO
    is going to a Better place, Not the way we describe ourselves ...Millions of folks
    call them selves Christian ....In Ireland I remember the killing of one Chriistian against another,
    many Christian Germans & British, American, etc:etc: killed other Christians.
    Yes for country !!!!! so we cant judge....Hearts are all that God will examine.

    When I was a JW I spoke with the greatest heart surgeon.. Dr Penfield ... He said
    "I have held hundreds of hearts in my hands, I can only know about them by their file
    But MY GOD knows what is really in their hearts,murder,hate,jealousy,etc: "
    I have thought about his statement many times since
