we are made in god's image and he is a person, not just some invisible, omnipresent force.
here is some more research for those who love to ask questions yet won't do the digging.. the bible consistently portrays god as a passionate individual, whose inner experiences of love, compassion, grief, delight, joy, peace, anguish, and moral outrage at atrocity dwarf ours in the extreme.
the bible makes no apology for this, but rather exults in the living one, in contrast to the dead and lifeless idols that surrounded its writers.. one scholar put it thus:.
If you plant a tree, it will grow. You have, in essence, made a tree. Right? Ok. Does it share characteristics with you? Both of you have cells, made of living material.
I plant a tree....I watch it grow....I water it....fertilize it....love it....
Oops, it doesn't grow as straight as I'd like...it's not doing what I say....it doesn't understand my thoughts....I kill it!

i've been listening to just a little of that old debasing stuff.

Hi intro. I agree, a separate thread is needed for this. Sometimes you just need to listen to the hard, cold truth.....this is a song for old Georgy Porgy....describes him to a "T".....
Nine Inch Nails
(1994)
Big Man With a Gun
i am a big man
(yes i am)
and i have a big gun
got me a big old dick and i
i like to have fun
held against your forehead
i'll make you suck it
maybe i'll put a hole in your head
you know, just for the fuck of it
i can reduce you if i want
i can devour
i'm hard as fucking steel, and i've got the power
i'm every inch a man, and i'll show you somehow
me and my fucking gun
nothing can stop me now
shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
i'm going to come all over you
me and my fucking gun
me and my fucking gun

sorry all, this is quite long.....and of course, nothing new.
but i found it interesting...i've been out 9 years and this all sounds eerily similar, like i'd heard this bs all before...... ------------------.
opening song #91, being taught by jehovah.
PLH, I tried to answer you as soon as you posted, but kept getting "Database Error". I read every word, and agree with larc. Lots of contradictions. I applaud you for being able to sit through it. The equivalent of "Chinese Water Torture"!! Also your thoughtfulness in typing this for our benefit.
we should be dressed appropiately and neat, modest in appearance (whoops! there i sit, in a mini skirt)
My kind of woman!!!! I attended my last Memorial in black leather and high heel boots! Lots of stares and whispers...I loved it.

i have been thinking a lot lately about death.
this is not surprising considering the turn of events on the 11th.. i have been re-awakened to the transient nature of human life and how it can go in the blink of an eye.
as the bible says life is vanity and a striving for the wind.. with all of the talk about world war 3 and how dangerous this world has become, i have been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this past week.. the fear of dying is a normal and basic emotion.
I hope like hell there is life after death, because there are sure a few people I want to haunt! (hehe-would that make me a demon??)
Seriously, I used to be terrified of death. Thinking that one day, you will simply NOT BE HERE, is enough to make you crazy. Then I read this, thought about it a lot, and have come to agree......
"Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not; that gives us no concern-why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be? I have no wish to be alive a hundred years ago, why should I regret and lay to so much to heart that I shall not be here a hundred years hence?"

What is the difference between God ordering the Israelites to slaughter men, women, and babies and the Taliban (allegedly?)slamming those planes into the WTC?

Oh yes, I know the ones you mean. They "Sing Praises to Jehovah" right before molesting Sister Jones' daughter in the back seat during field service.
My point being, just because you listen to rap, doesn't make you a criminal. If you listen to hard rock or heavy metal, you don't have to shoot up or sniff. If you listen to country, it doesn't mean you married your first cousin and live in a trailer park.
And just because you listen to Gospel, damn sure doesn't mean you are a good Christian!

Yes, let's all listen to something Jimmy Swaggert would listen to, or maybe Jim Baker. Or how about Reverend Jackson! I'm sure they all sang Christian praises to God, right before they went and screwed their aides, hookers, and the like.
