For me it is the pagan/witches creed
"If it harm none, do what thou will"
It can really make you think.

we all go through times of stress and sad times.
what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?
you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .

i'm not quite as new as is shown.
i previously existed as anti-absolutism but had to change my name because of a screw up of my computer.
some of you may remember that my wife (of 10 years) and i are separating.
Brad, did she do this right in front of your daughter? You must document everything that happens, making sure to write it down, date and time and tell someone right after it happens.
If she is doing this sort of thing in front of your kids you must try to make sure that her time with your kids is limited and SUPERVISED. Advise your lawyer right away, trust me, you will be so glad that you did,
good luck,

i've always wanted so much to know the true god and to do his will, but it seems i struck out at the kh.
my deep spiritual need is not being met, but i don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire, you know?.
beryl.
I was raised Christian, attended a Baptist Church, was Christened Anglican (sp?) and am now a Pagan.
This works for me, I believe in higher powers and worship in a way that suits me.
I think my mother put it best though, she was a Born Again Christian who NEVER attended church once she had kids, she told me that so long as you believe and pray within your heart, that god would hear you, no matter where you were. No religion, no building made a difference, so long as you believed. She could accept my paganism because I believed in something higher than myself.
Peace be with you and Blessed Be,
Neverthere

this picture was famously portrayed in the media as 'the moment bush knew', as the media around the world told us, from white house statements, that bush heard of the twin tower attacks when his chief of staff, andrew card, spoke in his ear in the classroom as he addressed the children.. on december 4th 2001, cnn were broadcasting live coverage of a "town meeting" at the orange county convention center in orlando, florida, where president bush was answering non-challenging questions from a sycophantic audience.
then bush made a startling statement about september 11th: -.
the president: thank you, jordan.
I was at home "flicking" channels when I came upon CNN and their coverage that the first plane hit the tower. No pictures or video of it until later, after seeing the second plane hit the tower and watching them fall, only then did you see video of the first plane hit, then it was video done by onlookers that had just chanced to see it.
It was an awful thing to watch and I cried the whole time it was on TV. Very sad indeed.
didn't they see my apostate bumper sticker?
how did they miss it?.
the doorbell rang, i saw a woman wearing a dress, with bookbag in hand, through my door window, i knew immediately.. this is the first time they have come by since i da'd (and i moved right around the time that i da'd, so they weren't from my former cong).. unfortunately i experienced a pretty heavy adrenaline rush, causing me to tense up.
I must say, that although I was never a JW, I found the best way to get them to stop coming to my door.
Many years ago while living with my mother some JWs came to the door. I was very polite at first, giving them the "I am happy with my religion" and "I don't want to join a cult". They would not give up.
I showed the woman my pentacle (equivalant to a cross for us witches) and told her that I had found the true path for my life and I was sorry that she didn't understand that other people could find truth in religions different than hers, and that I truly hoped that one day she could open her mind to the possibility that others had the right to not be disturbed by people "pushing" their religion down the throats of others.
She tried very hard and wanted me to come to a meeting and I told her no. When she continued to push I told her that coming on the sunday would interupt my ritual killing time, a look of horror came over her face and she nearly fell down the stairs trying to get away!
My next door neighbour (a stout catholic) was killing himself laughing! He knew I was doing it to get rid of her and when she came to see him he spoke only in Italian to her (He spoke english just fine btw) so she left him alone.
They have never returned to my mother's house to witness there, and we don't even own it anymore!
I grew up being involved in a sport that has alot homosexuals, saw them everyday, ate lunch with them. They were my friends.
I don't think it is wrong, it is genetic, just like a diabetic (not the best example I know). It is something that is a part of them, something they can't change and shouldn't change. People are made the way they are for a purpose. No matter what higher power you beleive in (if you do) if they create the people they create them that way for a purpose.
I know many "gay" couples and feel very comforatble having them around my kids, looking after them and spending time with them.
this is a difficult thing, abuse.
its takes years for abuse victums to come to terms with the abuse.
what i don't understand is how family members can treat you as if you were the abuser.
I know about abuse, trust me. The pain although it fades changes overtime into a strength you will be able to draw on, and your situation will make it easier for women to come forward.
Just remember that the strength you draw from friends for support can be a lifeline, remember to use it, draw on it, add to it and always try to love yourself.
