  Rubby said, "Cain gained all his weight back and more. But Abel lost weight and lowered his cholesterol."

  Well, you can see why Cain would hate Abel, especially since Abel was able to lower his cholesterol. The man was jealousy personified.

  The story of Cinderella has a similar metaphor.

  I think that the Cain and Abel story tells about what happened in heaven. I started thinking about this because God didn't kill Cain when he murdered Abel. He didn't destroy Satan when he murdered Adam and Eve and all the angels that followed him.

  Abel let Cain kill him, April. It wasn't an accident. Abel was sad and wanted to die.

  God knew what was in Cain's heart and warned him. He didn't 'refuse' Cain, but he knew his heart was full of anger and jealousy. He tried to reason with Cain. God loved Cain.

  The perfect world was gone and Abel took the best lambs of his flock and slaughtered them, because he saw clearly how bad the world would be without God. That is why his offering was respected.

  Abel. He loved Cain, he took care of Cain. Cain would fall into a lake and pretend he was drowning. Abel would rush in to save his brother. He was always saving Cain. And Cain would let him.

  But Cain hated Abel. He knew that Abel was better than he was. Abel had God's spirit. He spoke to God. He would look and see good inside himself because he had the spirit of God. But, Cain was busy tending his fields. He was more handsome than Abel. He was strong and tanned from his hard labor, sweating over those fields. The women loved him. His guilt-ridden parents would take care of him all the time and Cain let them.

  Abel, the quiet one...the one who lent a helping hand, the one who spoke gently and reminded those he loved about the goodness of God. The one tending his sheep on the high hill and knew the voices of each one of his sheep. He would cry, hard and bitterly, about how things could have been. He was so sad that sometimes he wanted to die. There was always an emptiness deep inside him.

  Abel's goodness made Cain very jealous. He didn't want to be like Abel, yet something inside him wished he could be. And he became angry and hated Abel.

  Cain brought his offering to God. Cain was proud of his offering. He was the first-born and worked hard in the field. He came strutting with his offering.

  Abel had killed a perfect lamb. He was full of sadness for the way the earth had become. Everything was dying all around him. He loved listening to the stories his parent's told him about the time before they had to leave Eden. It was all so real to him. So, he gave the best of his flock to tell God that he was sorry for all these things happening around him. And God had respect for Abel's offering.

  And Cain became so full of wrath that he brought Abel out in the field. And Cain killed Abel.

  i just thought i would post a little about myself here, even though some of you might know me from the "beyond jehovah's witnesses" forum.

  my name is bradley and i live in a suburb of chicago illinois.

  i'm currently twenty six years old and left the jws about nine months ago after a year and a half of intense doubts, many hundreds of hours of research, cognitive dissonance and bouts of vomitting (stressful, eh?).

  I'd like to meet you, RT and Scarlet (and any other fellow exjw San Diegans). I used to live in North Park, but now live in San Carlos, just a bit north of La Mesa. Hillcrest has some amazing eating places. I particulary liked eating at a Thai restaurant there, the name of it escapes me. Although I'm not gay, I always like going through Hillcrest. :D

  Thanks for the lovely pictures

  My Daughter, Deanna Marie Dupont

  today, my daughter turns 35. i've been thinking about her a lot the last couple of days, thinking about the blizzard my biker friend drove me through (in his car) to get me to the hospital so i could deliver her there.

  i'm thinking about how little she was and seemed so angry to be coming into this world.

  i'm thinking how i would give anything to hold her in my arms and tell her i love her.. deanna, i think that it's unlikely that you would even come to a board like this.

  Double, I will look into that. I don't think the name in Nashua was the right one. Thanks.

  Thanks to everyone. I feel a little better today. Very tired. Working around the clock until tomorrow. Will let you know if I find her.

  Love you all. You don't know how much it means to me to have people like you in my life.

  Love,

  i can't wish either one of them a happy birthday.

  You are all awesome (and give good advice, too). I will get a card for Deanna, just in case. I also looked in People Search. The last place they lived was Nashua, NH, and I found one David (her husband's name) there, no address though. I tried calling the telephone number to see if the answering machine message would give me a clue if it's really Deanna's number and the phone just rang and rang. If she had answered, I would have wished her a happy birthday! Maybe even sang it to her (the poor kid, more abuse from her ucky mother). haha

  I feel so much better. Even if she rejects me again, she will know that I love her!

  And I love you, too, you are all awesome. Oh, did I say that before? Yes, I did. You ARE awesome and I can tell that many of you are still lacking a hand made dish cloth! There is a picture of the lovely Xena modeling one in the Famous Dish Cloth thread.

  I will let you know what happens. Thank you so much.

  Hugs to all of you. The last place Deanna lived was in Nashua, NH. I looked it up and found one David Dupont there. I called, hoping that I would be able to tell by the message on the answering machine if it's the right David. I think if she had answered, I would have wished her a happy birthday! There was no answering machine message, so I will try calling again later. There is no mailing address in People Search, but I will get her a card and have it ready to mail, just in case I find her.

  Thank you again.

  Love,

  Dottie

  Thanks, everyone. I really needed your support today. I still feel bummed out, but I love you all for caring about me. You touch my heart so often. Anyone want a dish cloth?

  There's no way of contacting my daughter. When I have, she has been too angry to talk with me. We haven't spoken for many years.) I don't know where she is anymore and I won't go the route of hiring an investigator again; she was furious when I did that.

  Thanks so much.

  Love,

  Dottie
