mine is......(and this from a woman who will probably not notice the big a when it happens) .
i can find four leaf clovers anywhere, anytime...i never even really look.
just walking down the street, i'll look at the lawn and see one.
I have the ability to see things most people miss. I am forever seeing animals on the side of the road, items in the road like tools, money, ect. I also can tell from a distance the make and model of most any car on the road.
Pretty pathetic huh?

Welcome to the board Heather.
I'm sure someone here has gone through exactly what you are experiencing and can offer the support you need to make a clean break from the lie.

tonight i saw a commercial on tbs.
there were three people in an elevator, an older woman, a man, and a child.
as customary in elevators, everyone nodded to greet one another.
KGB,
Only 15 years???? Some one should meet and greet him on his release, if you get my drift!
Thunder
changed my mind again!
need to go talk to the people involved first.
new question... .
When it adversely effects an innocent or involves criminal activity or drug abuse.
Right is right.

mine is the old "everything happens for a reason".
when i lost my daughter, i heard this so many times, i seriously thought i was going to punch the next freakin' idiot who said it.
it's just ridiculous.. i also hate the variation "god does everything for a reason".. happyout (whose teeth are still set on edge when she hears that)
I always hated the "jehovah will provide" comments. I know different!
if you could pick any job, what would you do?
would you continue in your line of work?.
i would pick actor.
Motorcycle Cop! A gun, a bike and a paycheck!
if you saw a serious car accident, and people were trapped in the car, or unconscious in the wreck, would you try to get them out even if the car was on fire and could explode at any moment?.
coming back from quebec city today, i saw a car or truck in the ditch upside down and with lots of smoke coming out of the wreckage.
4 or 5 cars were stopped near by to look at the accident.
I would and I have in the past. As a man of conscious there was no decision to be made. Right is right.
Thunder
Realist,
as far as i know cars CONNOT explode! its a hollywood fairytale to make crashes more exciting.Now I understand you. Is reality a notion you have ever considered?
.
so, was music better years ago, or is it better today?
.
There was a time when musicians created and expressed themselves in their music and it became popular on its own merit. Today it seems to me that the music industry and media ram the new stuff down the throats of the youth of the world and convince them that to be popular thay must like it.The Americam Idol series is proof of that. No more does a band or artist have to work their way from obscurity to fame. They just need a hook be it exposing the majority of their flesh, exploiting the harshness of inner city impoverished life or appealing to those that feel they do not fit into the mainstream of society. Some of the new music I find quite good, variety is a wonderous thing, but crap is crap.
I tend toward classic rock and some of the new rock bands. I enjoy opera sung by Pavaroti. I can tolerate some of the progressive country music and the old stuff. Hate that nasal sounding stuff though.I dont care for the hip hop stuff and the whole Britney and her clone things. I fargin hate rap. Rap is not music!
I have made comments on my disdain for rap music in the past and have had some bring up that Will Smith is a rapper. Will Smith does not reflect the image that the majority of rappers express. His lyrics do not glorify violence and hate. His use of profanity is quite limited. When every other word in a rappers vocabulary is F this or MF that I find it to have no redeemnig qualities.
I guess you could say that I believe music was better years ago. Look at the longevity of artist like Springstein, The Stones, Aerosmith, The Eagles, Styx, their stuff is timeless. How many of todays music stars will prove to be marketable in 20 years? Only time will tell.

does anyone else have trouble processing the logic behind the wts issue of universal sovreignty?
why empower satan to make claims and give him the time and circumstances to prove his claims?
why have a bet between 2 people decide the fate of the universe?
No, it's a sign that rational thought has begun to replace primitive superstititon.
Perfectly stated!
While the creator has a "right" to manage his creations as he sees fit. He has basicaly decided to bend to the whim of an unruly teenager as Satan is one of his heavenly children that copped an attitude. We are supposed to be created in his image and embued with aspirations to reflect his Godly qualities, namely love, justice, wisdom and power. Even as imperfect humans we love our creations, our children, and in some cases die that they might live. We seek justice for them, demanding that those that hurt our children are punished. We exercise wisdom by finding ways to make our childrens lives easier and more fulfilling with advances in medecine, technology and education. We do everything in our power to see to it that they get the best we can provide for them.
The creator seems to have gotten stuck on the Power thing, but what use is being all powerful if you dont use your power for the benefit of what is most precious to you? How can you love someone and allow then to suffer for your "Good Name"? What justice is there in the suffering of innocents for personal satisfaction? What wisdom is exercised in allowing an enemy to spoil your greatest achievment, to save face? What good is universal sovreignty held hostage?
We all need to choose to do the right thing. Would only that those that could make changes on a global scale see fit to act accordingly.
