Since I am a "Unitic" I always address God as Father/Mother God. Mystics have said that the only proper prayer is one of thanks. They also say that it is a waste of breath to ask God for anything since God is not holding back anything. Perhaps this is what Jesus was alluding to when he said to not ask God for food, shelter, etc. since "your Father knows you have need of these".

The Air Force has been using the reserves quite a lot of late due to the downsizing of the active duty force. Plan on a lot of time away from home. The retirement is great if you can stick with it. Re the lesbo thing, ask the recruiter what the current policy is. I think it is still don't ask, don't tell but it does change from time to time. In any case, you would need to be discreet.

Watchtower Study and Phony Questions
by VM44 inthis is from a page at the freeminds website, sounds like the watchtower and book studies(groupthinks!
"legalistic authoritarianism shows itself in the confusion of the christian principle of unity with the human insistence on unanimity.
unity is a profound, even mystical quality.

This thread reminds me of the first time I ever attended a meeting with my "annointed" wife. The presenter asked a complex theological question and appeared to want genuine discussion. Dumb ol me answered. But my answer wasn't want the presenter wanted. However, a 10 year old kid sitting two rows up answered that complex question. Took me awhile to figure out that the only acceptable answer was printed at the bottom of the page. That was the last meeting I ever attended.

Glad to hear that you are doing so well. I guess Her Ladyship will have to put up with you for a few more years. Now that you are off the warfarin you may have to go on Viagra like the rest of us old folks. lol

Hey Joy! That's Frankfurt, not Frankfart. I lived in Germany for several years and really miss the schnitzel. Enjoy one for me. Don't be late for the train 'cause they leave on time. And don't check your luggage on the train. They treat it like freight.

When the dam at Possum Kingdom Lake was damaged by a flood, they sent some divers inside to inspect the structure. They found numerous catfish well in excess of 100 lbs. that were so large they couldn't get out of the dam. They didn't need to as the flow of the water brought their food to them. You can imagine how the divers reacted upon discovering those catfish.

New World Translation: ignored once again!
by Quotes inwhile researching a reply to another thread, i discovered "the unbound bible": http://unbound.biola.edu/.
it allows you to search for a bible passage in several different translations, from king james to douay to original language hebrew and greek.
i am shocked, shocked i tell you, that the new world tranlation is not one of the options!

My favorite bible is the Jerusalem Bible. It is of Catholic origen and therefore has the "extra" books that protestant bibles lack. The reason I like it so much is because the O/Tpassages quoted in the new testament are referenced below on each page. There is an introduction to each book giving the history and scholarship. The scholarship is of the highest order. It is called the Jerusalem Bible because it was done by a group of catholic monks resident in Jerusalem.

Would you Sue?
by sandy infor medical malpractice if:.
you were sick from july of 2003 to may of 2004 and didn't even know about it because the doctors never informed you?.
and on top of that you can prove that you never even took a test that happens to show you were sick.. the doctors have a test result of an ultra sound showing i had a large mass back in july 2003. a test i never even took.. the strange thing is i was sick.

Sounds like they got your records confused with someone else. I can't imagine getting an ultra-sound test and not being aware of it unless you were unconscious. I would get another test from a different source before you get involved in any litigation. Some of those dishonest and ruthless people that brownboy is talking about are lawyers. Litigation is a spiritually draining experience.
