if you being a non-celeb were to pass away

would the press cover "your" passing?

each soul is a special thing

your soul is worthy of news coverage

but only if you are news-worthy

in the end, she leaves behind an infant

wether through selfish thought

or a distressed heart

and her infant is the important part

of this sordid twist

something one gives, for honor is a gift

it comes from the soul

and can't be used

many, and maybe far to many times

honor shows itself as a weakness

yet the strength of honor is true

when honor, from the human heart is given,

honor will prevail

because human frailty fails

honor stays the same

and honor holds true

good or bad, honor holds

and honor is true

it really never matters to me when or if my thoughts get posted

my thoughts are mine as well as all who post here

these are for the most part opinions

based in fact or not

entitled to those that post or leave them to be posted

my point is two-fold

when i "leave" a post, thought or opinion

is it at the board's discretion to place or hold

that post?

all of my posts are "monitered"

yet some may or can post freely

without restriction

to be placed in a "bubble" of restricted

is the same as saying "drown"

we will only let through what "we" want

this is greasespot's board

and i can and will respect that

please don't tie my mouth

or my heart

thanks for letting me say this

not sure how to reply, but if you are saying that to me, Belle

thank you

if not (the reply that is)

thank you anyway

that was a wisdom thing

and a heart

thanks

i live with someone and i like the way we live

she has her own life and so it goes

my better half doesnt harp on me about my life

and neither do i about hers

if we do decide to talk about the past

it is civil and short

thank god for that

she gets along with my cat

and i really like her dog

when we get into a fuss

we both shut up and go ouside

she watches the sunset and so do i

maybe from a different perspectve

yet we do see the same event

i did ask her to marry me awhile back

and she said no

it could have been a rejection

yet i treated it as a statement of belief

we are not in love with one another

that may or may not happen

but she knows me and i know her

and thats fine enough

living together or married

my commitment is the same

To answer a question, yes i was ahippie and know a few were (are)

to be straight my hippie heart is still in me

though baldness has taken over the hair part

i wore the bells and the sandals

the leather wrist bands and head bands

and the beads

no one back then "played games" as much as some do now

by games i mean finger-pointing accusations that are foundless

this was done to an employee of mine

in front of his wife and 13 year old child

by a goth dressed girl who wanted to "p**s off" her hat-wearing backwards boy friend

for a fight between the two of them

the cops got invovled, my employee was detained, embarrassed in front of co_workers

the community, and his family etc.

all because a goth nut wanted to hurt her boyfriend

there are way too many details to post here right now

but my employee was accussed falsley, and he has to pay the price

of out of control teens fabricating lies

hippies didn't do that, back in the day

nor do normal people do now

i guess responsibilty of action falls upon the shoulders

of others, not the one who starts the action

i never thought that life would take the turns that are happening now

dis-obedience, dis-respect, total "dis" this and that

the backwards hats

and falling down pants

where did this start

rap?

techno?

is this now our culture?

for me i cannot accept this

yet i see that this beviour is

accepted

and tolerated

if any wants "goth"

see the result

it"s in the behaviour

of those who don't care

and i just talked to a goth neighbor

he read the start of this thread

will he change?

no way to answer that question

but her hat was on straight

maybe there is hope

""I believe that is coming out of her deep woundedness..."

So how come Karen is allowed

To have deep woundedness and yet people at GS are victims and whiners.....

these are your statements, Dot

here are mine:

honestly, fear drives the motive"s" and "it" has the steering wheel

in truth we all have been wounded

and that's a fact

claiming "wounding" is a coward's way out of conflict

when the cock crowed, it was the "nell"

3 times sealed the deal

God begins in heart and ends in heart

not in quotes of wounding

from where i sit god always looks

upon all with a smile

and he gave his son

that's all i need to keep breathing

wounded or not

here's mine...............

laugh away laugh

What i posted on the 28th follows:

" can someone (anyone) show me from the bible that personal prophecy

is in god's plan?

since when did a prophet or prophetess gain that ability?

if it's there please show me

i need (appended) to blow out my candles and do laundry

go shopping and gas up..........please tell me

wow a pocket prophet for each soul

what a concept, tell me and i will do it

sounds almost like "tom-tom"

a spiritual navigation system

totally commited to each soul's "benefit"

do they sell for $$$ or sense? "

is there any change or will there be?

I guess william clinton should not be "questioned" about his pardon powers?

President Ford was the only vice-president and president ever to sit in those offices

without an election

appointed to vp in '73 to succeed spiro agnew

given the presidency in '74 after nixon's resignation

he served, whether i supported it or not

and he served with decency

thanks president ford, god bless you and your family

has anything changed from the "big five questions" since the beginning?

is it still the same circle of queries without answers

or has time evolved enough that no clear answer emerges

to a single querie, perhaps just a montage of "suggetions" to the same question?

war sucks either foregein or domestic

sickness stinks either foregein or domestic

hatred hurts either foregein or domestic

pain steals life either foregein or domestic

being broke, homeless, without means of support, sick

sucks, having no hope sucks

has anything changed from the "big five questions" since the beginning?

life has "its" function, and then there is life

life that we all breathe

hope in

pray for

life that fulfills

that life is in me and you

it is christ

no more asking, no more questions

a gift given by a benefactor, without question

a gift borne of love, of freedom

no more do i ask

stupid people............do you really mean this Dot?

maybe ignorant, blind or blind or blind

stupid is as stupid is

as far as the eye can see stupid reigns

perhaps "intelligent challenged" may be a better description

just cause i don't see things a certain way

does that make me stupis? stupid that is

are animals more important than a human soul?

when and if anyone hurts an animal they hurt all life

and i am a pet owner

god forbid when a human soul is laid to waste

let the sentence begin for years to come

"The truth is we are losing this war because the Way Ministry is destroying lives faster than we can work to give then the med’s of hope that there is life outside the Way Ministry.

So we can not stop holding this hill the “Grease Spot Café” until the Way Ministry has fallen and is no more."

my thoughts only:

truth is "hills" are held with courage, gut determination to stand agaisnt all who would take the hill

no matter the price, no matter the cost

out-numbered and with reinforcement days away

the way? who or what are they? a group of a few who hold terror over the members? and really can't do that very well?

perhaps the better question is "why is greasespot here?

from my perspective, it (being greasespot) has been and continues to be an avenue of release from pain,

no matter how large or small the complaint may be

thus greasespot serves a greater endeavour than some may percieve

for to assist in alleaviating human suffering is a great endeavour indeed

as far as i can see the only "war" being lost is one of words

and the pen is still mightier than the sword

the way has a butter knife

Score as follows:

gsc..........5

way.........0

forgiveness, to me is as others have amply stated, freely given by the giver alone and in no way be construed as an order to "do so or else" by any higher power god or man included...

a gift is given out of heart, not coercion

my interpretation of the 7 X 70 is what jesus said was "his standard" to follow, and freely his choice

and if any followed that option was ok and any that did't was equally ok. his salvation of my soul is not dependant upon the "numbers" i produce or the ones i reach out to. it is my personal relation with him

and how i decide to live the life i was given that counts.

if i want to, if i decide to, i will forgive and move on in life's harmony

i will not be told to do so because so and so said to do it

if my choice is not to forgive, then i will choose and still move on in life's harmony

in the end i will stand before the almighty, alone

to answer for the things i did right and the things i did wrong

and when the final score is tallied, my wrongs will far out-distance my rights

after all, as a human i was born dead and full of sin

then it is up to god and his choice

maybe that's why he sent a saviour

"It's a bit more complicated than that. There's an appeals process that's something like three months. The hearers of the appeal, once they decide to take it up, can take forever to debate it. Once they make their decision, assuming they uphold the sentence, that's when the 30 days kicks in."

as rafael has written, that is how the the laws are stated in iraq. the appeal judges could (9) as i understand could uphold or overturn and there are no time constrictions as to the the decision

even saddam is due to the rule of "humanized" process

and the above mentioned verdict was rendered for infractions from 1982

last i read forgivenes was 7 times seventy

not that i condone drug or alcohol abuse

guess if the shoe fits

mete out the punishment

that's what jesus said

i am moderated for my posts here, and if this makes it to the board, woohoo

who has any right to restrict free speech? if you( not you jl) can host an "open forun" how do

you dictate the content?

"I am not going to restrict the open board. Nor am I asking that anyone follow the mission. I was merely showing you what I use to make decisions. I rarely interfere with any threads in the open forum. This particular one was considered offensive by members of this community. We looked at it and agreed that it fell into a category of offending people"

these are your words

and if i say poof and it hurts somones feelings is that grounds for restriction?

jl said sorry what more do you want? to me it is time to get over trivial garbage.

sorry safari but i've never been to hawaii, and i do not know you

but you seem to feel compelled to label me as you freely wish

that's fine with me and label me as you will

call me anything you desire

i do not know you or anything you talk about

but at least i know not to deal with an accuser

that has a propensity to hand out fiery pants

they just executed a fellow here in florida tonight. he killed 5 young people

he was on death row for years at tax payer expense

i do agree with sudo on due caution before anyone is put to death

find out all info prior to the execution and the make the choice

yet if the evidence is clear and stands up to scrutiny, fry the a@# who stole life from another human being

an eye for an eye is good enough for me

Thank you for the reply, SUDO, you are entitled to your own opinion and give you full respect for that

may i ask this? wise to what? who i have been told i am, or who i am?

accusations are a funny thing, not funny ha ha

and the ramifications can be devastaing

is it within the realm of an ex way person or persons to label anyone they wish

mark and avoid if you will?

isn't that one of the more hurtfull implemantations of policy that led to the downfall

of the way?

lock box? when it came to sex with young ladies for futherance of position or status?

these are word that i have read from this site.

my story from last night reflects something that really happened and i am called a "liar"

call me what you will at least you said what is in your heart

WAYSIDER here's the full context:

"me, fearful of a confrontation, walked away

shame on me, and shame on my heart

i shoulda done different

tonight i really think i cannot walk my life in fear anymore

i learned that fear is a shackle, chains will no longer bind me

my fear stopped me from doing right

my fear cannot nor will be any reason not to stand for truth

jesus is truth and my soul tells me he is my saviour

and he saved me to help others"

ps luv the horns u gave me

wasn't sure if there would be a reply to this post

WG i went back to the store this morning on my way to work and did speak to the manager and was told she would check out my complaint. the gentleman pushed the premium button on a cc purchase and didn't know how to get back to regular. i buy gas by cash and couldn't help so he went in and asked for assistance. thats when this "lady" called him all kind of names. the manager did follow up and the "lady" has been terminated from her job position. she had previous problems with others

thanks for the advice

SUDO i've shopped at this store for years and the staff changes on a regular basis. this particular clerk was a recent hire and according to the store manager she has had other and similar run-ins with patrons.

it may seem far fetched to you but i have rarely been at this store at night, so i have never seen this "lady" before last evening. the morning crew is always pleasant and that is what i am used to, as that is when my visits occur. thanks for your input

SAFARI VISTA if you want to call me a liar feel free to. were you there? did you see or hear what transpired? or is assumption on your part the rule of life? i don't know you, but if it makes you feel good to rag me, have at it

"my fear stopped me from doing right me, fearful of a confrontation, walked away

shame on me, and shame on my heart"

that's what i said and that's the truth

a clerk at a 7/11 store i stopped at tonight be-rated and belittled an eldery man because he "pushed"

the wrong button on the automated gas pump. she called him a dumbass as well as a f>?k a$$

this "lady" further went on to say that "old f#4ks don't know what they are doing" that "they are a waste of time"

i suppose that must be true, cause a child told an adult of his worthlessness

me, fearful of a confrontation, walked away

shame on me, and shame on my heart

i shoulda done different

tonight i really think i cannot walk my life in fear anymore

i learned that fear is a shackle, chains will no longer bind me

my fear stopped me from doing right

my fear cannot nor will be any reason not to stand for truth

jesus is truth and my soul tells me he is my saviour

and he saved me to help others
