A Few Things to Think About Today...

by Prisca in

friends

this was sent to me via email, just wanted to share it.

i've learned that no matter what happens,or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.. i've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled christmas tree lights.. i've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.. i've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.".

i've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.. i've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.

sorry this is so long, i probably could have left out half of it.

i just felt like typing today.. the sign of the times.. i was having a semi conversation with someone whos very close to me on this subject after the 911 tragedies.

apparently some congregations were talking about it being the worst thing that has ever happened, thus being a sign of the times.

It's all to obvious and I still have a lot of trouble digesting it all. The WTBTS was a Mnt.of strength to so many people I care deaply for and even though I always had some doubts here and there along the way I always believed them to be the only faith that had it all figured out.
It's a very hard thing to let go uf. It's also still scary, What if there right after all and just screwed up on a few dates?

this one is for jt, who is interested in body modification (lol).

i will be the first to admit a rabid fascination with a certain picture....... back when i was about 7, i stumbled across the most fascinating picture in all of dubdom....... are you holding your breath?!?!?.

it was in the evolution or creation book....the picture of the black, african tribal woman with that huge freakin plate in her lip!.

How do you get pitcures to transfer here? I keep trying but can't figure it out.

Anyway my favs were always the drawings of the wild beast with the harlot riding it and the glass of blood spilling out all over the place. Also the one of the goat with the discusting thing comming out of it's mouth.

The ones that really captured my attention were the one's with people in cemetaries rejoicing because they were picking up all thier dead relitives who were popping up out of their graves. I use to wonder about all the relitives who were buried somewhere else. That would suck. You come back to life and there's no one at the cemetary to meet you.

The sign of the times.
I was having a semi conversation with someone who’s very close to me on this subject after the 911 tragedies. Apparently some congregations were talking about it being the worst thing that has ever happened, thus being a sign of the times. I wasn’t even going to argue if it was or not. The look of extreme concern for my salvation left me feeling tired. But I did agree that it was the worst thing that we ever witnessed.

More recently, another friend of mine stopped by with her field service partner to say hello and she was sharing with me some of the conversations she was having with people door to door using examples such as kids murdering each other and murdering their patents and how perverted people are all over the world and how society this day and age is so twisted that it is now openly embracing same sex marriages yadda yadda yadda.

Her point was that we’ve have become so de-sensitized to violence and perverse things that we don’t even realize as a society just how horrible things are in the world.

I can remember thinking that way and believing it.

She told me in order to get people to realize just how bad society has become she likes to have her ‘prospect’ (I threw prospect in) imagine just how shocked and horrified our ancestors would be if suddenly exposed to our society.
How homosexuals walk hand in hand in public no longer hiding in closets.

Was she trying to impress me?

I was in a pissy mood but I was trying not to be.
I asked her “Does that really work?” She said “Oh yeh! It really gets them thinking about how horrible society has become.
“Yep” I said, it sure aint like the good old days.”
“Back then the biggest events some of our ancestors got to see, at least in the more populated and modern towns and cities, was a good old fashioned hangin’.” “ All the shops would close up, people would travel several miles to meet at the town square, children and all”. Hotel’s, all two or three of them, were full up”.

“And their puny little ride by shootings on horseback, ha!”
“But in all fairness they probably did kill more people percentage wise then our modern day drive bys.”

They both just looked at me with these blank expressions.
It seemed like a whole minute went by before we started talking again.
I think we started talking about the weather.

I had the feeling they both thought, “She’s lost her mind.”
I don’t know if either one of them had the slightest idea what I was talking about. I had a big smile on my face and they looked confused.

Well no real harm done and it was funny, the look on their faces was priceless. I am going to tuck that memory away in my ‘I need to cheer up file’.

I do remember sincerely believing that civilized people today were far worse then civilized people were throughout history.
It must be conditioning. If all the bad stuff that’s happening around you is the only thing your being fed then eventually that’s all you see.
It’s no wonder that so many of us suffer from depression and anxiety.

I mean Really! Our ancestors and ancient peoples experienced the most extreme violence!
The kind of violence that would weaken the knees of our toughest soldiers.
I’m not Even suggesting that our soldiers are 7ussies, but they do have a big advantage in war. They don’t have to dress up in armor and fight each other with axes and steel balls on chains with spikes on foot or even horse back.
And war hasn’t been a way of life for us for many years.

Not to mention the practice of human sacrifices. That is no longer socially acceptable. Not here anyway.
And, it wasn’t That long ago that it was common for a child to be given in marriage or even traded.
The average life span for a woman was around 30.
In order to have lived an average of thirty years and leave a family behind they had to start pretty young and life was HARD.

It’s very true that still in many parts of the world there is still extreme cruelty and many people are still suffering. But the difference is that these things are known and there is a great deal of effort going on to change this.
It won’t happen over night but I believe that it will happen. Maybe another decade maybe two but at some point in our near future there probably won’t be people starving anywhere
Not because of Devine intervention but because that is the direction we are going in.
Ending violence, that will take Devine intervention.

Does anyone disagree and believe that civilization today is in fact the worse? And if there is, would you please explain why you believe that? What makes this century worse then any other? I just don’t see it.

Any comments pro or con are welcome.

John Walker

the u.s. government is returning john walker to the states for trial.

what do you consider an appropriate punishment for his mis-deeds?.

i think, he should be[if found guilty]stipped of his citizenship and returned to somewhere in the mideast to spend the rest of his life,with no possibility to return to the u.s. for any reason.

plmkrzy

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing either way about johnnys
guilt or stupidity but this has always seemed to me to be
getting an incredible amount of attention. I mean there's
no balance. Why so much media attention on Johnny. What about
all the other people who were found with evidence of being
directly involved in the conspiericy to use planes for bombs?
Many people were arrested from the get go for thier involvement.
But instead the whole country is now focusing on this American
kid who ran off to join the "Freedom Fighters" NOT and fight
for some cause. This kid is probably no doubt guilty of going over there to fight for some imaginary cause and should be punished for it but however it turns out I doubt very seriously that he will be proven guilty of contributing to a conspiericy or being encluded among the others involved with the YEARS of planning this. He was
an American upper middle class kid. One of the very things they Hate and want to distroy. Were giving more attention to this stupid kid then we are the actual enemies. The ones who started it in the first place.
And then there is Bush. What happened to all that money, billions, raised for the victims? Many are still waiting for some relief. And, wasn't there a major corp. Money market, went belly up da da da that thousands of people lost everything they had investing in it? Who remarkably was able to buy off thier debt? The same co. that intrestingly funded a big portion of Bushes campaign? Maybe there's nothing to it and maybe there is. The thing is these are all big players involved with world events playing with big stakes and a lot of major stuff has happened the past several months and then right in the middle of it all is this dumb kid named Johnny from high school. Something is definately wrong with this pitcure.[:?]

How do you know if you're going to heaven?

by Christiangal in

the only way to go to heaven is believing that jesus christ is god's son, and that he was sent here to earth to die on the cross for our sins.

if you confess him as lord and savior, then and only then, will you be certain that you are going to heaven.

My ex husband is ¼ Blackfoot maybe you and my youngest son have some distant relatives in common. My ex was born in Manitoba Canada.
My dad is ½ Seminole My mom is ¼ Cherokee
Native North Americans are like everyone else. They all have various beliefs and customs and languages.
you have to be at least 1/4 Native North American in order to qualify for land and the land is chosen for you. There aren't as many pure Indians left as there should be but there are quite a few.
