  Good thoughts for tough times

  i'm finally getting to a point where i can read the bible without having the wts lean over my shoulder telling me how to read it.

  here are some thoughts:.

  although i no longer consider myself a witness, and have not joined any other christian religion, i occasionally read the bible, particularly jesus' words, for comfort.

  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

  "Abandon all hope. all ye who enter here!"

  by John Doe in

  and with a deep drawl he pulled from without the rich life of the ambient forces to within the deep recesses of consciousness, and bade them bask in the glorious glow of the penumbras of ignorance, instructing them of the ways in which they should walk.

  and for this reason none should question the radiant penumbras shadow, for one thought so much of the world that he undertook the task of thinking for all mankind, so that none may be ignorant of his own free will, but only through the condescending power that is his.

  alas for those who have fallen prey to the snare of thinking, for thinking leads to rational conclusions, and rational conclusions leads to the death of the glorious ignorance that is ours.

  Abandon hope all ye who enter here

  Meaning

  The supposed inscription at the entrance to Hell.

  Dante Alighieri wrote this allegorical epic poem between 1306 and 1321

  Dante Alighieri wrote this allegorical epic poem between 1306 and 1321

  is a highly symbolic work dealing with themes of sin, salvation, and redemption. Its view of Hell is based on Catholic Christian doctrine at the time of the late Middle Ages and Early Renaissance, the time when Dante wrote his great work.

  .The sinners in Hell are all guilty of one or more of the seven deadly sins

  In the 6th Century AD, the Catholic Pope Gregory the Great listed the the seven deadly sins are as follows: Luxuria (extravagance, later lust), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath, more commonly known as anger), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride). Each of the seven deadly sins has an opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues: chastity, abstinence, temperance, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

  BonaFide,

  So sorry for your loss but thanks for sharing your true emotions.. My personal belief is that it takes

  strength for men to openly share emotions.. but it is also the way to gain courage, strength &

  peace ! We need to touch and be touched by our dear fellow humans ! The whole universe functions

  upon "vibration of love"..there has to be so much more !

  Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.- Leo Buscaglia

  May your heart find peace !

  i have several sweatshirts and tee shirts with no writing on them and i have noticed that it feels good to wear something without an advertisement on it.

  most of my casual clothes have tommy, ralph, billabong or some other writing plastered all over them.

  and what the heck is a billabong anyway?

  How about those who sell their face to ads (tattoos )

  

  For $10,000 and a brighter future for her son, Kari Smith on Wednesday became a real life pop-up ad for a virtual casino

  The 30-year-old Bountiful mother, who put the space up for auction on the Web, will be promoting the multinational gambling site, which makes the claim — using a little more color and a lot more flash — to be the No. 1 online casino.The 30-year-old Bountiful mother, who put the space up for auction on the Web, will be promoting the multinational gambling site, which makes the claim — using a little more color and a lot more flash — to be the No. 1 online casino .http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,600145187,00.html

  i have been debating on how best to get the word out about jws and the wts... i have thought about blogs... but i just can't get myself to create the blog... and my youtube videos that i colaborated on with v have been successful on youtube... i have received many comments, and some inquiries from active jws based on the video.

  .

  i have created an introductory video that will give some background and you can see my style... i am also looking for constructive feedback... at the moment i am using windows movie maker, so the graphics are pretty cruddy, i apologize... if you know of a cheap or free movie editor that would be great.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtdmkgfxml4.

  Lance you do an excellent job ! You are calm, well informed and come across as totally sincere.(which you are )

  You inform people of your history and background without sounding self important or boastful, resentful or bitter .

  I don't see how you could be any more appealing to a sincere-searching heart !

  P.S. (I think you look very handsome in the beard.. it suits you.. shows how attractive a well kept beard can actually be !)
