I hear you rezrez...
I used to beleive what other people told me about "other" religions. I never even asked any questions for fear that I might be inviting demons. But it was a foolish thing to think that ALL other groups are evil... They kinda had same problem in the first century.
The only safe approach was to follow the bible's example of Cornelius the Centurion... Pray constantly, show compassion to my fellow man (no matter who they are... even samaritans) and wait for Jehovah's Holy Spirit to show the way. It worked 2000 years ago and it works today! Jehovah searches the whole earth looking for those that love him. To those people, he will expose his true self. On the other hand, those that go searching for the teachings of man... will find just that.
I happen to worship with a group of believers who sincerely love on another... even those that disagree with their views, and do their best to honor God by name. Except for the weekly sacrifice of puppies... it's a beautiful thing.

Hey Sparky,
I don't think it's PMS... It might be all those bra fumes!
Nowadays, I do quite a bit more of the design work on ADOBE. The last time that I was in the studio (actually) painting, I made and error and my hand instinctively went for the mouse to "edit/delete"
P.S. At the risk of being too nosey, what part of Texas is home?

Hi Lowden,
I can't dis-agree with you... the God that mankind has created to serve the agenda of the Catholic and JW beleif system is totalitarian and sadistic. The followers of such a god are typically fascist, ethnocentric, and equally cruel. If you have any room in your mind to beleive that there is an entity responsible for all of the matter that we rely upon for our very existence, then perhaps you can accept that you've been force-fed a lie about his true nature.
For what it's worth, some of his beleivers recorded a message from him that said that he would hide his true identity from those that did not love him. Only those that sincerely seek him will ever truly experience his Love and know him as a "Father"
You are taking the time to read what I've written, implying that you beleive in my existence... but have you ever seen my face or anything that I've created? You do not have to love me, or respect me, and if I ceased to exist it would probably not effect you in the least...
but if I sent you a gift,something that i made with my own hands, would'nt you "KNOW" that I was here?
With God, you do not have to love him or respect him... but if you're enjoying that air that your breathing, a simple ackowledgement of his presence might be in order. If you beleive he might actually exist. Please ask to see the real him.
If there was any way for me to help you see the God that I've seen, felt, and experienced, I would do anything to see that joy light up your face. I'm very sorry for what those people did to all of us... it would be very easy to move on and not even think about it but there are still so many people being hurt, that it's simply not an option to turn away. -
