I've lost my faith, and I'm not sure that's bad.
by kevin221 ini've tried in the last few months to rely on my faith in god to carry me through the bad hand that life has dealt me, and for the most part i have managed to carry on with my sanity in order.
i do however have one question that i can't answer and therefore wish to ask you all if you have any clue as to the answer.. the love of my life died and the only consistant reason i get from my reading of the sciprture and my conversations with "religious" persons is that god had a higher purpose for calling my love to heaven.
this only begs of me to ask the question, if the lifestyle my love was leading was so adverse to god's commandments, then why would he want to call him to a higher purpose?

What exactly is an elder?
by kevin221 insorry if this is a dumb question but i'd like to know.
are they like on the same level of say a priest, or more like a deacon.
jon's father is an elder and he's the biggest wack job i've ever seen so i can't see how they could have much authority in any church that was worth being a member of.. just wondering,.

Obsessing vs Living
by joelbear ini posted in another thread that i felt like maybe i was at last turning a corner.
i sure hope so anyway.
i'm getting too old to keep spending my days in a whirl of worry and doubt.. i've started pretending that my brain has a switch which one way says obsess and the other way says live.

Love is???
by kevin221 inlove is,.
never having to say you're sorry, (cliche) .
knowing that your soulmate is human and does make mistakes.. finding another kindred spirit, after fate pulls your first love from your grasp.. acknowledging you don't have all the answers, and that you really don't know everything.. knowing there is a purpose for the universe, sometimes you can see it, and sometimes you can't, even if you try.. not allowing the memory of love lost and its abounding beauty to blind us to the future prospect of love to come.. cherishing and honoring the memory of those we have loved and lost.

Laugh out loud funny!!!
by kevin221 ini saw a video last night and part of it reminded me of childhood stories that had been relayed to me from people who had been raised as jw's, so i thought some here might find it interesting.
the video is called "the queens of comedy" and the 2nd comic on the show is adelle givens.
she does a bit in her act about what it was like growing up with a grandmother that was convinced that the world was in it's "last days" and how that affected her as a young girl.
