Dear airwalk,
Your journey has begun. We are with you in spirit. Your dad sounds like an okay guy. Sounds like he loves you more than his religion, I hope it remains thus for you and he. There can be much healing in understanding. Keep us posted.
Blessings on your new life.

LOL!!! That is tooooo funny, Norm!! I think we may have two more "separated at birth" candidates.
Actually, I meant no disrespect to my conservative colleagues (a lot of my friends are Republican--REALLY!)
When I refer to right wing nutballs (and the left has it's share--nutballs are fairly well spread out) I'm thinking more along the lines of William Pierce.
I am against anyone who wants to kill me, or overthrow my government. I do not want to discriminate nor do I want to give preferential treatment when ferreting out anyone who puts me or my family or my neighbors in danger. To some that makes me a hate monger, to others a bleeding heart liberal. "can't we all just get along?" lol

Nov. 8 Awake - Wife Beaters-Sick
by MrMoe ini will let you all hang who ever the heck wrote this crap.
november 8, 2001 awake page 9: some battered women may need to seek assistance from the authorities.
at times, a point of crisis-such as intervention of the police-can cause an abusive man to see the seriousness of the action.. page 12: should the battered wife leave her husband?

((((((Essie, Andi, Moe--all my sistas, lurking and posting))))))))
God, our stories are SOOO much alike!
Essie, you are so strong. Emotional abuse and spiritual abuse is more enduring.
And I also found a great, loving man. I thought I'd NEVER get married again, because I just couldn't beleive that there are loving, caring, giving men. We have a great marriage. We're best friends, lovers, confidants, soul mates. Only, after having been bullied by my ex who was 3 years younger than I was, I found someone 10 years older than me this time. We travel, we write together, we talk in bed until all hours of the night----we love each others company. You can't believe what a good marriage is until you're in one. And he's more of a father to my daughter than my ex ever was. He reads to her, plays with her, works on her homework with her.
LURKERS, I agree--there is LIFE out here. Just look in the mirror, do you recognize the girl you were still living inside those eyes? Full of hope and promise? She's still in there. You don't have to put up with abuse.
Love,

I have written my story out extensively when my daughter and I were in therapy .......after I dumped the husband and the cult. I realized, after I'd revisited my post on the previous thread, that I still get sooo emotional over this. It's like I go to a darker place in my psyche. It's hard. When I can articulate rationally on this subject, I believe I will post on the website.
I don't want to foam at the mouth.
Love and Hugs,

I'm all for extra precautions. And deporting those here illegally and who hate Americans. But count me out of a witch hunt.
So, where do we go from here? So, what do we do to protect ourselves? I'm as bothered by the right wing nutballs, who hate the American gov't. and want to make everyone believe like they do, as I am by a Muslim fundamentalist.
So, what do we do?
??????????????????????

Was Ann saying (I don't know who this Ann is) to just deport those of Arabic nationality that are here illegally? We do that to peaceful, hardworking Mexican nationals ALL THE TIME, who just want to come here and pick our crops for us, so they can buy food and clothes for their children. As far as I know, Mexican nationals (and I know MANY) have never declared or even supported a holy war on America. I have never spoken with anyone of them who had militantly ill feelings toward Americans. And have not spoken with one of them who had anything but sympathy and compassion and a feeling of loss themselves at the WTC (not only because there were many Mexican nationals in the WTC bldg), but because they feel connected with the human race and (as far as I know) as a people and religion (mainly Catholic) do not feel the need to convert/kill everyone who does not beleive as they do.
NOW, I am NOT for the rounding up of everyone who's Muslim, Arabic, etc. and riding them out on a rail. People who want to live here peaceably, I WELCOME! But there are people who (as I understand) want to kill all Americans, and have started doing so (not just with WTC)--Am I missing something here? I want to be here tomorrow and the next day, and I want my children and grandchildren here. And I want everyone to be able to live peaceably and according to their conscience but if you're here illegally, why should you get preferential treatment over Mexican nationals? It's the law. If you want to kill me; if you're friends with someone who wants to kill me, if you have delighted and celebrated the death of those close to me, um, can I ask you to move out of my neighborhood, especially if you're not in the house next door legally?

OK, This is what I have to say
by peacepipe ini need to put my two cents in about this even though i'm reading it a couple days after the last post.. when i think of the death of those i care about i usually have no problem picturing them going to heaven forever: some people just to me seem like there is nowhere else they could be.
those who i've been close to that have died that i'm questionable about them actually going to heaven i feel like in some way as long as there are those of us here to remember them they are still kept alive somehow.
when i really think about my own death i have a panic attack.

Okay, the following is written entirely tongue in cheek, I am no proponent of Molech, but you may recognize a familiar line of reasoning.
Actually, Molech is a very loving benevolent diety. We know he exacted some seemingly atrocious things from his adherants at that time. But he's turned real nice now--I mean, he's always been nice, but... HE HAD to do those things (the killing babies, and mothers, and such) because the people AROUND them were so bad--oye! you shoulda seen those dirty Hittites, and THEIR depraved dieties!! Molech knew that these babies would be born of evil, evil women. These women actually killed their other offspring and offered them to Hittite dieties. Certain unnamed unspecified scholars wrote in books, that I won't quote from now, that these women were evil, so we know it's true. Molech was sparing these innocent little lambs, and taking them to his loving breast, which is symbolized by the fiery hell of his love. We know that they did not feel pain, and they are with him now in Bakhat-Kallah--a beautiful place in the skies, where Molech is, and where no one feels any pain, or is ever sad, or anything. We know Molech is the one true god, because he had some of his followers write on tablets that he was. We know these tablets are inspired of Molech, because it says so, RIGHT IN THE TABLETS!! it's true (see tablets, book of Prakdem ch 8:3) Also, unspecified archeological digs support what these tablets say (that he was loving, and he created everything--written on pottery shards) I think the world would be a much better place, if we would all turn back to worshipping Molech. The reason we see so much suffering, is because we have angered the great Molech by turning from Him and worshiping this Hebrew sky-diety. We will all suffer untold amounts of wrath (which is actually, a reflection of his great love--See tablets--Slik-btzfa ch 9:7--it's very clear) if we do not once again embrace the Great Molech and do exactly as he says. We know he will not call for these atrocities again, because he's changed, I mean he really never changes, but he's nicer now, I mean, he's always been nice, but we do not live in THAT depraved of a society now, well, we DO live in the worst times, EVER in history, ever ever, so we don't know what he has in store. But I do not want to question the Great Molech, do you? Whatever he does, or asks of me is fine!

<<One thing that hasn't been mentioned, and I don't know if I'm the only one who experienced this, is spousal rape.>>
Wow, yes, April--it was so commonplace, that to this day, it doesn't seem all that abnormal. The only time I've thought of it recently, was when I was sleeping peacefully, and my NEW husband slipped into bed, and I thought, he never forces himself on me--like that's a treat! I guess brainwashing dies hard......Pathetic.
Well, at least my new husband "allows me to choose what kind of music I listen too"--VOMITOUS! It's called a backbone, once I grew one, it was ALL OVER!
I am so proud of my daughter. I am so glad, she will not face the dismal choices we all did.
Hey, I like the idea of alerting women's shelter about these sicko's "enlightened" views of women. '
AAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
