Abandoned, I think you might find this website a pleasure. I was listening to the discussion given there and was moved with such emotin for the way the discuss the benefit of displaying tenderness and compassion for people in distress, that I feel I was truly able to reach a part of God that I haven't been able to in ages.

You can also be a double agent, as it were. You'll be suprsed the number of people who go to the Hall, keep up the facade, but know that there's something desperately wrong with OZ. Many here are active participants, yet for the sake of thier families, they remain amongst the fold and just blend in, without need of fading, vanishing or disappearing. The fight to keep in with your family is a desperate one that in most cases you will lose to the bOrg. It doesn't need to be so desperately black and white. There's still a shade or two of grey.

cry and you're a whiner that's overstayed their welcome.

i can understand why.

who wants to be around someone that brings them down?

prophecor

Yes, once tollerance has been reached, then to remove myself from my shell of comfortability, into the zone of uncomfortableness. To place myself, lovingly in the path of the person who probably is being a nuisancnce, and love them effectively, regardless. To initiate kindness and compassion for thier most difficult of moments. For some, its not that they enjoy being difficult, they're just in a particular space. My patience should turn to tollerance, and my tollerance to love and compassion.

The av is a photo of what I want my Mark VIII to resemble. It's one of Popular Hot Roddings must make overs for those who have an affinity for American Muscle Cars.

.....the next time you see someone acting up. You may notice they are sadly lacking in something that you have in abundance -- kindness.

Or at least, tollerance. It's a fine line to have to deal with those we regard as difficult. They may be the ones who need our attention the most. Finding where we can seperate ourselves from ourselves is paramount in tending to the needs of those who may callously slough off as being not worthy of our time, patience and energy.

Jehovah's Angels are Sexist. No?

by prophecor in

i'm only asking because when the angels fell from heaven, witnessing how beautiful the daughters of the sons of men were, they formulated for themselves, material, fleshly bodies in order to pro-create and do the nasty with some really ancient "hoochie mammas".

no where are we given any indication that these angles ever had, nor did they even desire to have sex with us menz, well, humph,.... i guess we know which of the sexes are truly blessed, then.

genesis 6:1&2.

The stories of humans with near God-Like powers is really quite intrigueing. Match them up with ancient Greek Mythology and the stories begin to have a ring of truth to them. There was once, I believe when in the Kingdom Hall, or in a magazine, I'm not sure, where these same thoughts were hinted at, or even downright supported. Apollo, and others might not have been so far from the truth.

Guys, What's it like being one of girls?

they can just talk with you, and be in your company.

they don't mind sharing with you.

thoughts fellas, we're talking words, here.

prophecor

So does Prophecor feel that he gets treated like one of the girls too much? And he wishes he wouldn't?

Nooooon Rachel thats not it. I actually feel rather honored as the guys often sit back on the sidelines and wonder, " Why do they enjoy talking to him? " Women, total strangers, when we connect in eye contact, they initiate speaking, it's almost like a secret clue. They can sense when your not viewing them as your next "Hero Sandwich" We lock eye to eye, and they almost instantly recognise that I'm viewing them as a human, and not an "Oh My God" look. The one where our jaw, usually, drops on the floor.

They can just talk with you, and be in your company. Almost like you were one of them. They don't mind sharing with you. Thoughts fellas, we're talking words, here. They wave to you, you wave back. They're more than comfortable to be in your airspace. They know that you have no ill intent or evil designs on thier posterior. They always seem happy to see you. Do I look like one of your girlfriends?
