I find more and more I am meeting my goals and my life is headed where I want it to go. I am completely independent. I do not depend on anyone to help me out finacially. I am almost done with grad school and I will be entering a profession that I love and I am passionate about. I know where I want to live. I am so ready to get out there even more. The only part of my goals are to raise kids. And I know I will accomplish that as well.

JW mentioned on Law and Order

i was watching law and order svu and they were trying to catch this guy on murder and rape, but they needed his dna.

when they went to swab his inner check, he said he could not do that because he was a jw.

i think the show got it wrong, i never remember being told as a jw that i could not give up dna samples, anyone know?

wonderwoman77

DUH...I know it is fictional dungbeatle, the question was just if anyone knew if JW had banned giving dna samples.

And I know the guy was just being a jerk saying he was a JW. that was not the point of the thread...jeez

Is death the end?

sorry it's been some time since i posted but i was busy rearranging my life.

just wondering what the general consensus is among posters on this board to this question, is death the end of existance, or a portal to a new reality?

my 2 cents, death is only the beginning of a new reality.

I believe this is just part of my soul's journey and it will continue once my body is done...

Who would you most like to meet.?

i'm just curious...if you had the opportunity, who on this board would you like to meet if given the chance (or could without getting "in trouble"!)?

(could be serious, could be fun...) i for one, am just sooo curious to meet the cat himself... just to find out if he's much different in person than in his online persona!

...and maybe pet him a few times in the process...

BitterMango, Xena, and many others but these fine ladies know why... oh yeah and Reborn

fear of death

by DanTheMan in

when i was a teenager, i got into heavy metal music in a big, big way.

black sabbath, iron maiden, and metallica were my faves, especially metallica.

i lived on their music, listening to their albums literally hundreds of times, often while under the influence of mood-altering substances.

Good ideas, thanks for sharing. At times I still think I fear death, but not death itself. I fear I might not get to do all the things I want before I die...I also fear having a painful death...but dying itself does not necessarily bother me.

Who believes in a firey hell?

is hell the grave.

is it dante' pit.. or is it.

hell is truth seen too late.

wonderwoman77

Nope. I do not believe in hell. I believe in some type of afterlife, but more like reincarnation, but eventually when your soul reaches its potential you get to reside with the supreme being. I guess hell would be never reaching that, but you still always have a chance, so hey there is no hell...

Is God loving, merciful, kind, etc.?

is god loving, merciful, kind, etc.?

(num 25:4) god commands moses to hang the leaders in the sun to calm god's anger .

(deut 4:24) god is a consuming fire, a jealous god .

wonderwoman77

I struggled with this for a long time when I was also struggling to be a christian. I however do not consider myself a christian anymore, so I do not struggle with all the contradictions in the bible. Now I am more about connecting with my inner spirit and getting peace that way and about the good ness that is created. SO I guess I do not have an exact answer....

Self-love

i posted on the belief board last week when i started reading a book by thich nhat hanh.

i read the chapter on self-love and was deeply moved.

i know society, but especially the borg tells people to be selfless and do all these things for others and the borg, that we tend to feel awful about ourselves.

wonderwoman77

Thanks for all your replies. IT is interesting to see all these perspectives on the matter.

Andee--

I know you say you do not believe in the self-love thing, but I think your self-respect is a type of self-love. And it is much more than body image... But I understand where you are coming from. I was even uncomfortable reading that chapter, but I read it twice and it made so much since to me.
