DO WE NEED TO BELONG TO A RELIGION TO BE A "SPIRITUAL PERSON"?

    Just to tackle the other side of the issue, I'll say this: While we don't have to belong to a man-made religion to be spiritual, if we are Christians we are instructed to meet together with other Christians. It doesn't need to be organized, or even in a particular building made for that purpose. It definitely should not be legalistic.

    But sometimes meeting with other people of faith can tend to build up your faith. The problem happens when people say (like JWs), "You must meet with US if you want to be spiritual."

    I think about Mark 9:38-40 where John was upset that a man was casting out demons and was not associated with their group. Note what Jesus said:

    38 "Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us." 39 "Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us.

    Don't listen to foodalls. The NESARA scam has been around for a long time. No intelligent person would take it for being accurate. If you feel like wasting your time finding out about the scam, you can google it or go here:

    http://www.quatloos.com/NESARA.htm

    Basically the quacks that are promoting this scam are saying some of the following:

    " at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Alan Greenspan, was scheduled to announce the new Treasury Bank system, DEBT FORGIVENESS for all U.S. citizens, and abolishment of the IRS as the first part of the public announcements of NESARA.

    Instead, at just before and after 9 a.m. EDT, planes attacked the World Trade Center. The attack on the WTC served to stop the announcement of NESARA because a crucial banking computer center on the first and second floors of the WTC was prevented from carrying out a computer system download to U.S. banks which was scheduled to begin at 9 A.M. EDT."

    The same site goes on to say:

    “For the last month in Orange County California, citizens have been receiving letters enabling them to have ALL their credit card debts forgiven and their mortgage debt taken off their shoulders. If their mortgage was taken out before 1997, it is totally "forgiven" and the DEED to the property will be mailed out to the owner. If the mortgage was taken out during 1997 or later, the mortgage bank is required to turn it into a "self-liquidating loan" which the BANKS are required to pay off on behalf of the citizens. Some lucky people in Orange County are receiving these benefits of NESARA which EVERY citizen in the United States is SUPPOSED to have ALREADY RECEIVED!”

    Hmmm. So everybody in Orange County, California (about 4 million people) had all their debts forgiven but the rest of the nation didn’t hear about it? Wow, the power of the government to suppress information cannot be underestimated! For that matter, we here at Quatloos! are all in Orange County, but our debts weren’t forgiven. Hmmm.

    But if you think all of that is strange, you haven’t heard anything yet. The primary scam artist goes by the name of "Dove of Oneness" or usually just “Dove” hosts a website called “The Four Winds” at http://www.fourwinds10.com that spews a bunch of New Age hooey, such as “Lord Ari’s Galactic Tales”. Additionally, Dove has an “update line” that you can call at: (206) 781-3897 to hear the latest updates on the “True NESARA Law”. These updates, which are archived both on Dove’s website offer totally bizarre news events, such as that “100,000 Bankers who would not accept the True NESARA Law have been eliminated” and that the spaceships of the Galacticans are regularly seen visiting Washington D.C.

    Being Superstitious (i.e. "Spiritual") is a matter of gullibility mixed with an unrealistic expectation about fringe happenings.

    If you've been around superstitious people your whole life it is difficult to not involuntarily absorb that meme.

    Even the word: Spiritual has a benign and generic warm/fuzzy connotation.

    Nobody wants to think of it as Supertition. But, there is no distinction between the two. Not really, if we are honest about it.

    I live in Orange County and I'm very happy to hear about this wonderful turn of events. Wait a minute the mail just came and my Amex bill and my mortgage payment just arrived. Oh and here's my car payment.

    Superstitious to the unknown defines spirituality.

    There certainly was much of the unknown in ancient times, which gave birth to the gods.

    If you are an American Citizen over the age of 21 you could receive shortly somewhere between $1.4 Million and $10 million

    bucks BEFORE this year ends...probably as early as April.

    What about us Canadians, we believe in Extraterrestrial aliens as well ?

    Thats it folks, I'm moving down South across the border.

    I wonder if Mr. Foodalls has some $ on those web sites he keeps on spamming or he's just short a few bricks.

    Not playing with a full deck

    Doesn't have both oars in the water

    Lost his marbles

    You know what I mean.
