there is no thing, no entity, no deity, no god that is the foundation of infinite existence.. there is what is bigger still, and this the mind can not even begin to comprehend.. we can not speak truth.
we can not think truth.
we can only be it.

Be still.
dear ones.
rather, it is our adversary who says we will do anything... anything... to avoid it.
a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. even curse god to his face.
Shelby, dear, who is the "adversary", is it not one who would diminish the Divine to a thing, a deity, a person, and object? Rather than accentuate That which has no beginning or end and so can not be defined? Are you then, not that "adversary"???
Who here most accentuates a tiny god, one who walks into your room and talks to you like any other little man. It's you Shelby. It's you.
Your talk is sweet, but it's poison as it is nothing more than a huge EGO that thinks it is gods special and humble little messenger. The true Source, doesn't need you or anyone, Shelby. Get off your high horse, dear, and surrender.
if i want to forgive someone, it's not necessary for me to punish anyone.
it makes absolutely no sense to me, why an almighty, loving god would punish his son, for an offense that someone else committed.
here is what some others to have to say on the topic.
Jimmy, I think you've nailed it...
to the cross, so to speak.

That the Source of all universes (and there may be infinite universes), is attributable to some Deity and Son, is -- as has already been mentioned -- archaic nonsense. Small gods for small minds. So we wouldn't expect the stories about these fictitious creatures to make much sense either. That said, it's not bad, it's just the way it is, the way the limited mind attempts to make sense of an existence which is infinity more real and raw than can ever be conceptually understood.
The key is to stop trying to understand it all; and instead just dissolve into the aliveness.
for the born/raised ins, do you feel that you no longer have a spiritual heritage/background/traditions?
i was sitting at my desk absentmindedly humming a "kingdom melody" from the brown songbook, when i realized what i was doing and made myself stop.
there were songs that i really enjoyed.
OK, put perhaps you can take it deeper. Feel what it is to breath. Feel the red of the rose. Don't think about it, just feeeeeeeeeel. just feeeeeeel.
last week i wrote to my parents telling them that i no longer believe in their god.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198664/1/a-letter-to-my-parents-stating-i-dont-believe-in-the-org-anymore.
my dad finally responded and in one of his sentences he said that the jehovahs witnesses are the only true religion and that i should go back.. so i was thinking with a sincere heart.. if they are the true religion then then can present evidence of it.
so that is my new challenge for him.
Now, the jugular: If Jehovah, at Armageddon ask you to take up a sword along side his angels and commanded you to kill your next door neighbor and his wife and children, would you do it? Would you?
And could you then live in total peace forever knowing what you did?
Fuck, Bible questions, go for the heart. Go for the humanitarian and love within us all.

How about common sense questions?
Can you think of a evil more vile than the mass murder of billions of men, women and children? Can you? Can you?
Why would a sensible person place as the "most high and loving" a deity that does just this?
Does this not amount to worshiping "evil" as your god? Who, in their right mind would do this? Who?

What, no knock on every web JW spiders???
Actually, I love spiders. Some care for their young and carry them around and even sacrifice eating so the babies may survive. This was once thought to be a mammalian only behavior.
I suggest to those who may fear spiders -- as I once did -- to research them and begin to closely observe their behavior. These little fellows run in the opposite direction faster than you do. They are very shy and timid.... and very intelligent.
how did satan tempt a person who has no wrong desires?.
Beloved Shelby,
Do you type all that? Or do you have Dragon?

May I suggest that you start a new "spiritual heritage", one worthy of the title.
Make a heritage of being present with life and being, now in this moment.
Be still and savor the beauty of what it is to be alive. Perhaps you could name it something like....ummmm...Serenity Now.
