I think the worst was not developing normal social skills for you age groups. I read that kids that don't have that are pretty much screwed as development is age related. I get by pretty well. I was a flight attendant for almost 40 years but it was really hard work to act normal. I also have no sense of the future and have a hard time planning life. Oh well. Whatever.

Why pigs???
by stuckinarut2 inwhy did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.

I had an elder speak to this scripture. He said you could learn a couple of things from it. First, demons can't just possess animals willy nilly. The demons had to have Jesus permission to enter them, otherwise all humans and probably all life would be wiped out by those crazy demons. Secondly, in line with the demons desiring physical feelings, as when materializing into men and having sex "with all whom they chose" they would rather enter the pigs and physically dash those porcine bodies to death than be put back in the non feeling ether.

Observation?
by dogisgod inlast memorial i found an invite on my door for the memorial.
on it was quoted, "truly i tell you, you will be with me in paradise".
in growing up that phrase was a big deal because the discussion was where the comma was placed.

Last memorial I found an invite on my door for the memorial. On it was quoted, "Truly I tell you, you will be with me in Paradise". In growing up that phrase was a big deal because the discussion was where the comma was placed. Truly I tell you today, you will be......" vs "Truly I tell you, today you will be with...." Have they removed the word Today from this scripture in their latest Bible?

If Apostle Paul had been living in our time, would he have written certain things he did?
by venus in1) he wrote woman are not qualified to teach (1 corinthians 14:34).
in my experience, i have been taught by both teachers—male and female.
some of the female teachers were too wonderfully effective.

Undermined is putting it mildly. I view him as the great hijacker of christs message. I'm sure he a Joel olsteen would be pals.

Freedom from Abuse
by Faith after Deception ini hope you don't mind if i share my latest blog post here: .
one of the most common ways in which people are psychologically traumatized whilst in a cult or religious high control group, is the extreme pressure to “forgive” people who have abused them.
i use the word “forgive” in quotes, because the concept often goes way beyond the biblical mandate.

I saw a lot of abuse in my congregations. You can "forgive" till the cows come home. The abusers have to remain ACCOUNTABLE. Forgiveness is for you.....accountability is for them.

+Yes, I have but its more healthy to look ahead. Kinda hard to do when you never made plans because the world was going to end. You know, painting the deck of the Titanic is what we were told. Now I have to decide who I want to be. Better late then never.
