What religion would be your favorit if had to choose?

by Singing Man in

i would say it would be the catholic cause you can do just about any dam thing you want.

and if you feel like you need to be close to god or something you can always go light some candles and wear a cross or put on a pointed hat or a white collar or deprive yourself of women or men in the case of nuns.

and you get to hear funny boys sing chants, and you also can put some real holly water on your head that the priest got from the sink oh and you can wear saint christopher's.

have you ever wondered what your iq is?

or at least what the "professionals" claim it could be?

if you didn't have or take the opportunity to acquire a formal education, have your life experiences increased your iq?

Yeah I am Inventive Inquisitor which means I am creative. Learn by doing. Teacher to others by life's experiences. I am good with numbers.

Personally I don't do well with numbers nor do I like to work with numbers. Which I was surprised.

The name Old can come in many different interpetations. The Old has to do with a old soul. I was older than my years as a child. I don't see or view in relation with my physical self.

Crow energies is an omen for change. Crow signifies a knowledge of a higher order of right and wrong than indicated by the laws created in human culture. Crow energies speaks in a powerful voice when addressing issues that for you seem out of harmony, out of balance, out of whack or unjust. When they show up physically reminds you to be aware. I have a tendency to shut down emotionallly.

Woman is about reclaiming myself.

How it evolve with crow was 20 years ago in my beginning of recovery. I was camping with a friend . Early morning hours there were 3 crows cawing on the picnic table. I being irritated by their noise, hollered out at them to stop.

After arriving home from the camping trip. There were crows cawing outside of my Apt. Looked out the window there were 3 crows. I thought they could'nt have followed me baack to the cities. I did a research and found 3 crows meant a death. Not a physical death but a emotional death.

In the beginning of recovery being hit with losses of 39 years of life was overwhelming. Learning to get in touch with my feelings. The 3 crows would show up when I needed to face a loss and acknowledge it. At times I was'nt always happy to see them.

I can share stories about my encounter with Crows over the years. Maybe that can be shared on a different thread.

Memories doing the daily text came from another thread.

The first 5 yrs of recovery and reprograming I struggled with daily affirmations in my alcohol program. The word GOD would be in the affirmation. I did alot of work turning god into something acceptable for me.

The affirmations books go with the date and day. I had to reaffirm myself that this is not a jw thing.

I am glad that I hung in there. The affirmations were and still are about building my self esteem and self-worth in working my program.

I wondered if any others here struggled this this?
