well i was kinda cut of gaurd when i saw them.
it was the two elders from the local congregation.
they said they just wanted to come over for encouragement to come back to the meetingsm one of the elders i knew me sence i was a baby and saw my son in my arms and asked how old he was.
The elder said well you know there are people, prests, popes, etc and
I wonder if they were about to allude to their own pedophile problem, but I would have stop him there too in order add, "Of course you are right, but don't forget to include elders and MS to the list." That would have driven home the point that you've been doing some research, and then make your comment about doctrine. Being that they ambushed you I think you did great.
there are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.
while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.
what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.
It could be that the aliens have always been here, and that we are the result of their own scientific experiments in DNA modification. It could be that the many abductions that are coming more and more to light are simply their continued monitoring efforts and further tinkering with our DNA. In other words, mankind has been "seeded" and the aliens have been the gardeners of those seedlings throughout time.
newflash in the ongoing addiction and mania that started at age twelve when the national broadcast news showed pictures of these english boys with very, very long hair.
i stopped by a local grocery store b/c i was not certain that a challis scarf was wool or rayon b/c the fabric content is in arabic.
thank allah for arabic numerals.
Wow, very cool. Hope it all works out for you.

Some "bright professor" = someone who actually thinks for himself and teaches others to do the same. No wonder they're running scared.
this accomplish?
the situation which surround the soul.
change with each life, therefore how does this allow.
Nice post, earthfire. In a sense, we "evolve" into knowing/seeing/realizing we are one with all. It's the appearance of separation that is to been seen through. The "perspective" of what appears to be an individual is how Life views itself. When that perspective believes itself to be a separate and distinct entity the door has been opened to experience fear and suffering. So the ultimate outcome of reincarnation is the overcoming of this illusion of separation.
this accomplish?
the situation which surround the soul.
change with each life, therefore how does this allow.
First of all why would the soul come back? What does
this accomplish?
To learn lessons that are essential to progressing/evolving into a more loving entity.
The situation which surround the soul
change with each life, therefore how does this allow
us to deal with past circumstances.
Ever notice how your "problems" follow you wherever you go? Same thing. The lessons to be faced and overcome can arise in different circumstances, so the important thing is to meet them and overcome them in whatever situation they arise during the current physical life.
He or she comes
back in a different body, with a different brain; therefore
a different person is involved, and that person has not
technically experienced reincarnation.
You are assuming that what you are is limited to the physical mechanism of body/brain. What you are, according to religions that teach reincarnation, is something that transcends those, and the body/brain is just the interface mechanism with the physical world. The deeper "essence" of you is untouched by the physical world, but it's the physical world that is the "playing field" in which the "spirit" (for lack of a better word) learns to face and overcome those lessons which will help it evolve back to unity with its source.
One other question, if one takes his own life will he
or she be reincarnated? If so that create A whole set
of new problems.
Suicide is a way of avoiding facing the lesson being faced, so yes, one would reincarnate.
there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.
JamesThomas, hands down. Wish he were on here more.
Wiktor - what a tool.
i just signed a petition to put a stop to phony "gay cures" happening right now in france - and touring to another 9 countries.
this has to stop - these "gay cures" are extremely dangerous and so damaging it drives many to self-harm and even suicide.
with sessions planned in 9 more countries, france must lead the way.
