Seed Planting Questions That Worked For Me Recently

by Confuzzled in

i'm a really big eckhart tolle follower, and recently i was rereading a new earth and i showed my dubby this proverb he mentioned, which kind of bothered him when i explained it.. "the hand pointing to the moon is not the moon.".

he didn't quite get it, so i explained that it basically means that just because a man, or religion, is pointing out god to you, it doesn't mean you worship the man or religion.

he didn't seem to want to debate it because he didn't have an answer or counter point.. also while explaining the path tolle shows (pragmatic explainations of age-old beliefs, from jesus to buddah, they all said the same things), he said he didn't think tolle believed in god.

After growing up being told that dinosaurs only ate trees and ROCKS (!) I showed my parents where someone had found the fossils of a dinosaur...with another dinosaur in it's belly. Lol. They were VERY disturbed. It's funny the things that bother people.... none of the failed prophecies, etc, bothered them, but the idea that dinosaurs ate meat did.

Wow. After all my years of being in, and all my years of being OUT, I don't think I ever realized that carnivores were totally against the whole "happy animal paradise" thing.

Good grief. Thanks... I may actually use this.

Fight with wife over watching Avatar escalates to near-separation--true story

it's true because it happened to me last night.

i knew it was trouble when she started looking at my kindle.

once she got to the short stories i wrote 3 years ago, autobiographical, some of it involving her, i knew i wouldn't be going to bed before 1:00 (it was 11:40 p.m. by then).

...she locks the DOOR to prevent you from entering YOUR BEDROOM!?

I don't know what else to say. There are so many other things that really stunned me in your post, but really... I am pretty speechless.

I wish you all the best... and whatever that is... it is better than you have right now.

Love,
Baba.

How sweet were my mother's lies!

That's a lovely way to say it, Steve. How sad... that to show true love, Jehovah's Witness parents have to bend or break the rules.

Of No Importance

by compound complex in

recent happenings close to home bewilder me by day, terrify me by night.

i am immersed in the profound waters of doubt and, sometimes, despair, as i struggle swimmingly to a far off shore that itself is encased in black mist.. yet, the shroud of fog does rise.

i am able to see outward, through the windows to my soul.

BabaYaga

But it is important... in a way. Sometimes more deeply than we realize.

Pendulums. Are they dangerous?

by watersprout in

is the use of a pendulum to communicate with the unconscious mind dangerous?.

i have had it done on me a few years ago and for months after i was so consumed with guilt!

i prayed for jah to forgive me and i lived in fear that.

BabaYaga

Welcome, Watersprout!

Pendulums are way cool.

Snowbird's right... it gets better and easier. Welcome!

Love,
Baba.

Hello and welcome, Dances with Smurfs! Great user-name, hilarious introductory post. Well... only hilarious in a "we feel your pain" sort of way because we can sympathize!

So they finally said it ....

by 2014CountDown in

the sept 15, 2010 wt on page 23 states :.

the anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day governing body, they are in fact following their leader, christ.. what a pile of filth!!!!.

the only capitalized letters are governing, body, leader, christ.

BabaYaga

Seriously creepy.

But more importantly, hello and welcome, 2014Countdown!

Love,
Baba.
