    i hope and think to inform and educate, to save lifes and be a refuge to those lost and confused.

    I like las58 his crazy and sometimes makes deep points, so i like the diverse expression of members and freedom of voice...

    But i hate the internet and how it takes your identity away...facebook and path for example i think exist only to extract every bit of information of who i am and then i am turned in a target for advertisers...worse they want all the details of my friends...now i think the world would be better with out advertising but i am wearing a shirt advertising a bank and a Toyota cars and now i am selling Toyota Cars with this post.

    damn you advertisers, you destroy all that is sacred ...even this site has advertising.....if we could abort advertising would the world be a better place?

    On TV have Al jezera on return button or PBS off pledge season, and here

    FOCUS and train to supress your periphal vision.

    remember it is the advertisers that are the suckers to think that we buy from those that annoy us.

    just like the annointed. focus on the reality instead.

    It's to inform and educate - mostly by providing a place for people to ask questions and get support.

    Ads pay the hosting bills and enable the site to operate.

    simon, right, dont bite the hand that feeds you. sheaply. live with it.

    Even PBS welcomed new products to be presented (non commercially) on "this old house", as there stated mission is to inform people.

    Without ads we would not have a zillion different sites...nor TV shows, the Super Bowl, etc etc etc. ADs are essential! Just be strong and look away if you dont like one lol...

    This site rocks!

    Ads mean someone else is paying to give you something for free ... don't knock it too much !

    I'm working on a new design which I hope will make the ads less intrusive.

    great point Simon i didnt even think your site costs money to exist...any way for me this site helped set me be spiritually free...and as a member helped give me the confidence to express myself to strangers that are just aviators in hyperspace...i think turning an aviator in to a person we understand i can understand me is very challenging.

    i joined this site because i read old posts and it was like a real awakening, to see such compassion from some posters I am sure this site has saved lifes and helped many and i think so what if iam are self conciouse in expressing myself..i am a member and i hope even amoung friends even if i am annoying i have a voice and for ME thats why this site exists..to speak my mind. Something i never did at the k.H.

    Now i can be annoying and an idiot ...i dont believe in God and as for family i must remember them in there obituaries (thank you watchtower) but i was once to sensitive to post here..that i would be ridiculed that i couldnt debate. I think this site allows expression and diversity of opinion but for many the problem is having the guts to share thoughts and feelings with strangers.
