  The Earliest Christians

  2. beliefs

  i am posting quotes from the writtings of the earliest christians to share whether or not the jw statement of.

  the trinity not existing until the council of nicea is accurate or not.

  so these quotes are relevant to the trinity.

  Willy think...you say "christians did not come from the bible, the bible came from christians"?????

  So do you not believe the old testament, that came from jews and actually so did the new testament. You statement is false....

  The problem comes from once you told things some many times you believe, espeically a child that hears things from the people who are most important to them, their parents. Well the child will incorporate those thoughts into his or her head, later these thoughts come out in negative self-talk which I believe is on of the major factors of self esteem. When you tear yourself down with negative self-talk, of course you will have low self-esteem, the key is cognitive behavioral treatment, and it does talk a long time to change negative self talk. I know.....I have done it, and I still struggle at times, but it is worth it!

  I am mostly the same on here as in real life. I tend to be a little more expressive but that is because I naturally express myself better when I write things down, but I will be loud and obnoxious in person and have my opinions like I do here, but I am also laid back at times. I think the net is a hard way to percieve people....

  Feeling At Peace?

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are there any others here in the room who feel that they are very close to feeling at complete peace with themselves, or are in fact at complete peace with themselves?

  would you like to put into words the feelings experienced, the pleasure within?.

  peace.

  I have not fully gotten there, but I have had moments and feel like I am on my way. It is hard to put into words, but when I first new that I was moving towards inner harmony was about 8 months ago. I was spending the day at this park and just kind of taking time to myself. I sat by this pond and there was a blue heron there. Previously I had read a fictional book where the character was inspired by a blue heron and this was the first time I had seen one in the wild. It was like the heron and I danced. I meditated and just took in the moment. I become overwhelmed with peace and a sense that I was moving on the right spiritual path. I felt complete and whole and untouchable. It was the most amazing experience.

  Since then I have had less dramatic moments through meditation and through sharing with others. I have had moments through reading. I feel through all this I am striving towards complete inner harmony....

  I believe in God. I do not believe jesus was God, so some people say I do not believe in God. I have been on a very interesting spirtual journey the last year and a half. I have had moments where i have felt inner peace and harmony that I think can only come into tapping into my inner spirit that is connected to something greater. Through this I know there is a higher being. I am not a conviently believe, but i believe.

  Will you be alone on Valentines Day?

  by hungry4life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just happened to glance a the date as i was posting 2-13-02. one day before valentines day.

  i realized that i don't have a valentine.

  i subscribe to the idea that it is better to be alone and wish you were with someone than be with someone and wish you were alone.

  Leave your cadaver to medical science ??????

  by alliwannadoislive in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  interesting little thought .... i've decided to dedicate my body to medical school, and just before i die, i'm going to swallow a little plastic toy.

  that way, the medical student who cuts me open will get a nice surprise.

  i just hope the other medical students aren't sad because they didn't get a toy with their cadaver, too.

  I am in school to become an occupational therapist and I took gross anatomy and had the 'pleasure' of disecting a cadaver. We did not cut open the stomach or intestines though. However your body passes a lot of stuff after you die, so your toy might not even be in there anymore...

  But yes I would donate my body, without the toy...:)

  Hi true...

  The aspect of using suicide to control someone is one symptom of borderline, but there is a lot more. Suicide threats are common with bipolar and depression as well. I hope that you and you therapist can work through this. My mom had successful treatment for two years through counseling and medication, but then she stopped going and that is why things are hell again. Good luck...
