Holiday laugh on youtube: I set curtains on fire during Christmas marionette show
by humbled ini made a short marionette show for my adult family and accidentally set the curtain on fire!.
it was years since we had all our sons together, and with no money for presents--i did what i had done before i jumped on board with jw-screw-the-holidays thinking.
we made stuff up and had a good time.. and we did it again after some really rough years.. i don't know how else to get there but go to youtube.

What you were TOLD vs. what Jesus SAID: getting SAVED
by humbled incould jesus have shown us the way to healing, preservation, wholeness but we turned ministry his into a theological nightmare?.
just wondering if punkofnice and my family will be bonding in hell together 'cause they aren't "saved".. and wondering if i really am an apostate..

"Do not be called teachers"--Doesn't Jesus OUTLAW all organized religion?
by humbled injw's and other churches all set up housekeeping in different theological areas.
some one person can't believe any more what their church is saying, gets a different "take" on god, and......starts trying to convince others to follow them and everything they teach.. nothing new about that.
but why are so many of us blind to this scenario: we allow that some people get to contemplate other thoughts and others are not allowed.only some lead and everyone else must follow or be thrown out.

Can I be a Christian if I cannot use a Bible?
by humbled indo i have to be literate to be a christian?.
if i only hear about jesus and simply call out and claim him as lord and savior could i be a christian?.
if i didn't trust men but trusted jesus and the spirit of god to guide me could i be a christian?.

Do you think Jesus WANTED to be turned into a religion?
by humbled instuff that has happened to me and people of other religions that i've met and read about--it makes me wonder if the caretakers of "holy writings" haven't bent us with their theology and pedantry.. i don't think jesus wanted us to make a religion.. he offered an experience of faith that was first and foremost an invitation.
the gospels--even if half diluted with error can't dispel the experiences we feel if we accept these words at face value: john 7:17-18.. i can't stay on- going to doctors today.. thanks.
maeve.

Jesus didn't care about chronologies and bible knowledge--why should we?
by humbled inwhen i read the gospels, i don't find a bunch of numbers.
i loved that jesus talked in a way that left me wide open to respond to god.
"love god with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbor as yourself".
