I think Jesus raising the dead was pretty spectacular in itself personally....

i have been watching the discovery channel's, 'into the universe with stephen hawking' and it occurred to me that professor hawking knows more about heaven (which is just part of entire universe) than jesus did.
maybe jesus knew about black holes, alien life, other worlds, the origin of the universe, etc.
jesus could have told us something so remarkable about our universe that it would have taken us 2000 years to confirm jesus' divine knowledge and prove he was the son of g-d, but he instead decided to tell us that heaven "has many rooms"- whoop-dee-doo.. i don't think jesus had a clue that there was anything out the in the physical universe beyond what he could see with his own eyes.

Broken Promises...Its made me so very angry to read part of your story ...I'm angry for you and the life you've missed out on although its a relief to hear that you've moved on so much...after my divorce and Df I honestly didnt think I'd ever find happiness... and I was a lot older than you ...but life has a strange way of working out...dont give up hope...stay pro-active in her search....I hope you find your soul mate just as I have...sounds like you really deserve a lovely guy...

I was for over 25 years with my ex...it really was toxic ...and only now that I am in a 'normal' marriage do I see how very sick he was...whats worse was that after some time it meant that the relationship itself was very sick and unhealthy ...cyclical...awful...cant believe I wasted so many years hoping things would improve....

my mom (still in the borg) was telling me about going out with the c.o and his wife this week in field service & i started re-living the horror show that would go on during saturday meetings for field service-.
ah... the dreaded splitting up into car groups... i always felt like we were in gym class being grouped together for a game of dodgeball-.
the co and elders were the team captains and we would line up for the count.
So many memories of some stupid ineffectual brother trying to make a daystext about something random fit the ministry....and the CO visits...field service arrangements ... ooh a nightmare ..... its ringing the memory bells...

do you ever feel guilty about the way you pre-judged others when you were a drone?.
i feel guilty about it every day!
people's lives are so complex, we know so little of their personal struggles and "thorns in the flesh" yet we're conditioned to prejudge on a checklist of criteria published by a few men in new york.
I was so super spiritual ...so clever and righteous...how awful of me ..

one of the top songs of the 70's was "hotel california" by the eagles.
most people have no idea the song refers to the church of satan, which happens to be located in a converted hotel on california street.
on the inside of the album cover, looking down on the festivities, is anton lavey, the founder of the church of satan and author of the satanic bible!
Is this a new topic? The devil it is....

to many, coming out of the cult- griping wts's enslavement, mind control and bondage to freedom have not been an easy journey.
some have developed stress, depression, other committed sucide, had broken marriages, severed family and social relationship.
still, others had to contend for years, the scourge of emotional turmil on their lives.
I was definitely very ill after the shock of my Dfd...physically as well as emotionally...(and I would have grey hairs were it not for today's beauty technology)...It culminated with a small cancer and then radiotherapy...once that was over I seem to come out at the end of it with such a fresh rejuvenated view of life. A resolve to make my personal happiness more important than ever I'd done before.
What came with it was a humour which I didnt know I possessed...suddenly there were all these one liners on my lips...so many things to giggle and laugh about. It was quite wonderful.
I worried it would stop but no, its continued. People say to me quite frequently now 'Ah you're so funny!' to my utter amazement????? For years I was accused of being far too serious....
So...every cloud ...?
