  Aging

  by joelbear in

  adam lived 930 years methusaleh 969, noah 600 or so, but the psalms say a man's age will be 70 or 80. the explanation for shorter live span today is more imperfection, but why would man live so long for the first 2500 years and then drop to 70 or 80 in david's time and then stabilize at that age for the next 3500 years?

  I don't believe they knew how to determine a person's age by actual 365-day years, in the beginning...

  Friends

  the dictionary defines a friend as a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

  this definition seems fair enough, but at what point do you really know someone, and how much trust is needed?

  i think everyones ideas of what a friend should be like are broad.

  Cancer tests came back 'normal'

  2. friends

  so that is a major relief.

  still means they don't know what the problem is, but cancer was one of my worst fears.. tomorrow (wednesday, august 27th) is the arbitration in that stupid lawsuit and it will determine the next 20 years of our lives.

  mars, the new moon, my energies are pretty scattered right now and i am just trying to get thru it an hour at a time.. thank you for all the support you have given me thus far and what you will continue to give.

  Do You Try To Make People Feel Comfortable Around You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since this board is filled with so many different personalities, do you ever go out of your way to try to make people feel good?

  do we ever consider that we might make some persons feel unwanted because of constant criticisms?

  i've communicated with one poster recently that's become discouraged over how some people constantly berate or disparage.....if you knew you were hurting somebody's feelings, would you do so intentionally?

  Yes, ever the nurturer, I always try to reassure others with sagging self-esteem and try to make everyone comfortable....sometimes there are people who seem to thrive on pushing others' negative buttons....in that case, though I may initially bristle, I try to tactfully contact them privately and let them know that even though their angst is perfectly understandable under the circumsances, that there are certain things in their manner of posting that can be offensive to others who are sincere in their opinions and suggest the "walk a mile in their shoes" cliche....

  2. friends

  thanks to little toe's piquing my interest on this subject, i hafta ask it...... .

  has anyone here had any personal spiritual experiences and is anyone here brave enough to describe/relate any personal spiritual experiences they've had, whether pre-borg, during being borganized or post-borg?

  to be more specific, have you ever seen any angels or spirit creatures, been made aware of their presence in any way, interacted with or communicated with them, or had dream/visions...etc?
