  Why do/don't you believe in God

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now for all the scientists out there this is not a question of proof or anything along those lines.

  for my part i choose to believe in a god because i honestly believe there is one (though i did start doubting for a little while) i've always felt that there was more to our existance on earth - and that doesn't stem from me wanting to live forever or as a spirit, as i don't even know if that will happen.

  i also believe in him because many many times when i could not carry on, on my own strength, i managed to pulled through.

  I don't believe in any god. I don't believe in any kind of big brother watching me, controlling me, blessing or cursing me.

  Through my own spiritual experiences I learned about love being the ultimate creative force. It is always available to all of us, we exist through it (bodily functions). And we can increase its availability to us (if we want more strength or deeper understanding) by consciously open up to it. Some do that by praying (to a god, goddess, angels etc.) others by meditating, tai chi or whatever. Whatever method works for one can be used. None is better than another. No need for guilt trips, no need to give it a name, no need to participate in an organisation or pay for it. It's for free.

  (Sometimes we want to find deeper understanding by braining and struggle!)

  Women What do you Look for in Men

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right so being single and being free to look and date the male species i'm sad to announce that there really is no much of a choice out there.

  perhaps i'm not looking in the right places, or perhaps i just don't do it for these men.

  anyway what do you look for in a guy.

  Ok, so now I don't wonder anymore why I don't seem to find a soulmate lately. It's because Mary is around grabbing all the good guys and leaving none to me.

  On a POSITIVE note ...

  by ljwtiamb in

  2. experiences

  i have felt that this site is therapeutic for me, in that i can give voice to feelings that i have heretofore had to keep inside.

  i also enjoy reading other's stories and learning that i am not alone.

  although, many of us feel that we have wasted our lives on wt, there may also be a very positive side.

  There definitely is a positive outcome for me: My experiences have surely made me a stronger person than I would be otherwise because every experience gave me annother chance to learn from and so to explore. No, I'm not a masochist but I learned to appreciate even the bad experiences because I have learned the most from those. So after all I can say: I've lost a lot but I gained more.

  Demanding the unusual

  by greendawn in

  you can approach god and granted to ask the fulfillment of any two wishes however extra ordinary, what would you ask?

  .

  my favourite is an ecological one, the return to existence of all extinct animal and plant species, then some time travel ability to go back and see ancient worlds and participate in them.

  I can make two wishes?

  One for all, on just for me, that would be fair, wouldn't it? :

  1. Love and peace for the whole world.

  2. I want to take a flight with a F 18 or the like. The feeling must be incredible. I've never heard of a pilot of such an airplane who doesn't enjoy flying with it. It's a war-plane I know but the flight itself would be fantastic I'm absolutely sure.

  2. friends

  after nearly 10 years of fading, the closest i feel to being spirituality connected comes through 1) nature and 2) creativity.

  anyone else feel the same?

  Nature is my temple. It gives me peace, a greater sense of connection and instant happiness.

  Physical activities (anything from work out to cleaning the house will do), listening to music or getting out. Consuming nature is a great stress reliever. I cycle or go for a long walk. When I hear the birds singing and smell the flowers or the earth everything comes into balance again automatically.

  Thanks to the founder and to everybody who adds to this forum. It enriches me in more than one way. Just not financially! But that's ok for one can't have everything at once...
