Perfect Love
by Aculama inlet me run this by you all and see what you think.
it seems to me that every individual has their own ideas about everything from religion to politics.
these ideas are formed and shaped by many things ( station in life, parents, social background, education, ect.).

Milligal:
You don't sound harsh or mean. I appreciate your input. My ability to express myself properly in written word is somewhat feeble. I agree with your point of veiw. The kind of people I'm talking about are the type who have an unpleasant disposition or just rub me the wrong way. I love to be challenged by an opposing point of veiw though. What I'm saying is when I can live what I believe it sort of makes my point for me (concerning faith), plus reaping the rewards of returned kindness has served to make me a happier person in general.
Thanks to all for your input. There are really some great folks on here.

I apologize to you and to the original poster Minimus. I had no intention of talking down to anyone. I looked the word "religion" up to clarify it's meaning for myself. The advice I gave is the advice I followed in my own pursuit of the Truth. It did lead me to some wrong answers and bad influences, but all in all my mistakes and wrong turns have taught me as much as the right choices did. God bless you!

Religion by definition is: the service and worship of God. Worship by definition is: reverence offered a devine being or supernatural power. I guess I would ask (pray with a humble and honest desire) for God to reveal Himself to you. Then I would believe Him when He does. I believe true worship is manifested in the way you live your life. When you don't submit to a higher power then you make yourself god. When god meets GOD that could be a sad day. I'll pray the "real" God guide you to Him. God bless you!

Let me run this by you all and see what you think. It seems to me that every individual has their own ideas about everything from religion to politics. These ideas are formed and shaped by many things ( station in life, parents, social background, education, ect.). When people are young and not set in their ways they are still busy trying to grasp everything and understand the "world" around them. When they have grown older, many times they feel they have come to a place where they are confident in what they believe about the "world" around them. It then becomes a contest to rally suport for established ideas (one persons veiws vs anothers). I think the quest for truth becomes a defence of perceived truth. This sometimes leads to frustration, debate, and even war. I believe that perfect Love can defuse this process.
Perfect Love is an action as well as an idea. I'm not talking about a false, "warm fuzzy", Hippy kind of thing. I'm talking about sicerely responding to everyone I come in contact with truth, honesty, and compassion. To understand Love is to understand correction. An example would be punishing a child for playing in the street to save him from being hurt or killed. But correction must be done in Love or it only brings about contempt. Some may debate to prove their point. If this is done in Love it may serve to help someone understand and grow, but if it is done to satisfy a sense of competition it can rarely benifit both parties.
I have found that by doing everything possible to serve, help, and encourage those around me at home and on my job my life has dramatically changed for the better. When I run into a difficult personality, I simply give all my energy to developing a positive relationship with them. I have had to learn to bite my tounge and do what's best for the company and the difficult person. In the end, after commiting to this, the good that has come back to me has far outweighed the bad. The law of sewing and reaping is Truth and its foundation is Love.
I have also found that it is very hard to stop self destructive behvior (sin) from my own strength, but allowing myself to Love and serve others seems to push it out of my life. I struggled for years with poor job satisfaction, mediocre marriage, and general depression over my life situation. My Christian life had slowly become a "religion" I couldn't live up to. By letting me see the world through His eyes God has shown me it's more about the absolutes of perfect Love and Truth than it is about me trying to work my way through some religious system. Make no mistake I have strong convictions, but more people want to know what they are now that they see this change in me.
My intention is not to toot my own horn. Through the mask of the internet you don't know who I am, so I have nothing to gain. My only hope is that someone will reply who can inspire me in other ways to show the perfect Love of Christ. Thank you and God bless!

Loneliness
by B_Deserter ini wasn't sure i was ready for it, but i did it anyway...i put out a personal ad.
i've gotten a few responses, but nothing seems promising yet.

Dear Loneliness,
I think the best way to meet people is by doing things that are fun for you personally. You already know up front that the other people who are participating have something in common with you. Don't limmit yourself to romantic relationships; sometimes friends will introduce you to a person that is perfect for you. I married one of my best friend's sister. ( When someone interveiws for a job they ask for references.) This way your friend can give you an honest opinion and history of the person before you even meet them. This is much safer, not to mention that if you belong to the same network of friends there is instant accountability. Look for shows, conventions, club meetings that are open to the public, music classes, art classes, fan clubs, ect. Just don't look in a place that is just not you ( for instance, you wouldn't pick up a date at a Star Trek convention unless you want to learn to speak Klingon ) . God bless you, and I hope He leads you to your perfect soul-mate.

Fairy tale characters / Bible characters
by LtCmd.Lore inthe day to day life of a bible character is pretty similar to that of a character right out of a grimms fairy tale.. witches are a real threat.
you can go down to the local spiritist and get really useful information.
you have your magic pots that constantly contain food, if that fails you can count on a bird to bring you food.

Life is very much like a fairy tale. Once words are spoken, they take on a life of their own. They can build, heal, help, or they can tear down, destroy, harm. A word can create an image in the mind of the person who hears or reads it. The word "mother" might bring a positive image and thought to one person, and in another, conjure a negative picture or thought. Many fairy tales were written to convey a lesson or moral to children. It is no mystery to me why they would be simmilar to Bible stories in many ways. Just as we use some fairy tales to teach lessons to our children ( not to talk to strangers, not to risk things we have no intention of giving up, ect. ), God sent His Word to teach us. There is one thing that is absolutely certain, life ( like a fairy tale ), has a beginning and an end. When each individual reaches the last page they will find out how their story ends.
P.S. I have no affiliation with the Jehovah's Witness Organization.
