My personal thoughts on Ray Franz
by Terry inthe death of ray franz hit me harder than i would have thought.. i had to reflect for awhile....alone......and quietly.. .
after all, fine people die every day and some of them are indispensable, yet, we go on....don't we?.
but, ray franz was something that can only be described in the phrase sui generis (one of a kind).. my task was to ask myself what it was that made ray so singular, potent and admirable without a trace of scandal or ill will attached to his memory.. .

I need a show of hands: who believes the Bible and to what extent?
by Terry ini'll start off.. i don't believe anything is divine about bible writings.
i believe there may be some marginal history although not much.
i think alot of folk tales and regional myths are contained in the old testament.

Is the Bible inspired and inerrant? No. Can you read the Bible and be inspired by it's contents? Yes. There are many books and writings that inspire. The Bible is only one of many.
An interesting thing one can do, if you haven't done so, is take a red letter edition of the NT and read that part only.

Forgivness and forgetting small things is easy, we do it all the time, life moves on. Your wife, child, friend, whatever, says something hurtfull, doing so because they are immature, or stupid is no big thing.
I will not, for any reason, forgive, nor forget the uncle who rapped and sodmised my daughter over a period of 11 years. I will not forgive or, forget my aunt, his wife, or my step-mother for allowing him to do that. As a family we have lived for thirty years with that fallout. My daughter is in a great deal of pain, it has destroyed her ability to have solid and peacfull relationships with everyone in her live. Her children are the most affected. No, Iwill not forgive, I will not forget the evil that was done. I don't have to, neither does she.
Fifty,or a hundrerd years ago I could have shot that basturd off his porch. No one would have batted an eye, What has happened to our sense ofjustice that has caused us to live in a world of touchy feely sob for the prepatrator with this forgive and forget nonsense? Neither will I forgive her evil rat basturd husband, whom she has been seperated from for four years, for beating her bloody in front of the kids, more than once, then blaming her for his drinking and pill popping. Even now that snake is chasing her around wanting her back, if she would go get herself fixed. Is forgivness overated, you betcha.

Few and far between, when it did happen couldn't wait to get back to the car group and jabber on about the message being rejected. Made me feel goooood!!!!
Now, I pity those who knock doors and think how pathetic I was back in the day, being selfrightous because someone slammed their door in my face.

I give you a lot of credit for stepping into the enemy's lair (twice.)
Yup, that takes courage. Good for them....
