  1. I also had a cousin who was suffering from improper treatment of her depression. She was also bi-polar. Her medicine didn't work for her prior to committing suicide. I also agree that people suffering from depression can get to a place where they don't think they have a way out of their dilemna. Things can become hopeless for them to the point they lose focus, are unable to process their thoughts clearly, and proceed into a downward spiral. Her sister talked to her that weekend right before she ended her life. She thought something was wrong. She was right. These people need our understanding. I sincerely believe a little love and empathy goes a long way. I believe it can deter someone from doing the "deed" if we act at the right time.

    Rottie, spring hasn't sprung up there yet. It's starting to get a little bit warmer, and things are starting to thaw. At least that's how it was when I lived up there. Juneau is quite a bit southeast of the mainland Alaska. It might be different for them. Johnny can fill you in

  4. You might want to try a people search on-line. It will pull up information you might not find otherwise.

    Mine were a few. A realtor, executive officer, attorney, photography on-line photo manager, author, and a quilt-maker. Boy do I feel divided!

  7. Happy Birthday, Excie!
  8. You know your church is redneck if: Your church offers you beer instead of wine for communion!!!!
  9. Honestly, I haven't thought much about death. My son just married last year, I have an 11 year old daughter. I want to be around for a long time to come. I have had some health issues, and fortunately, none that I can't handle. I think everyone understands it will happen at some point unless like JLingo said, Christ does return. That would be so awesome. Just imagine! There will be some people who won't ever die! I would have to say, this is also my yearning, but no one knows when that will happen. When you look at what the Apostles of old and believers in our times have said, they hung on to that possibility. I think that's why God never did say when! It's always something we can look forward to. The other passages also offer comfort, such as sleep, a twinkling of an eye... So, if it does happen, it would be like I fall asleep, and the next thing I know, I'm alive again. But, I agree with the others. My concern would be for those I leave behind. My goal is to leave behind children who are at least, well established, and able to carry on without me.

    I can already hear grilling and sizzling! Yay!
  11. I knew them well. They were my fellowship coordinators here in Cincinnati before they decided to buy a house. Because of their decision, their clergy and corps status was dropped. That was back in 2002. They are great people. Haven't seen or talked with them recently, but as far as I know, they live close by.
  12. Anothen, I really think you should have been talking to a therapist instead of bringing it up here. This is a heavy issue and people have strong feelings, especially mothers with children, when it comes to protecting their young. It's not something people take lightly. I do wish you well if you really want to come clean...
  13. Quite the study!!! They saved lots of bucks!!!!
  14. Happy Birthday! May you have many more!

    Ah dear laddie, just put some green velcroe on that there fiddle 0 'yers!
  16. I can't honestly say I believed at all at first. It took time for my processors to sift through the information. I was intrigued...and as time went on, I began to accept the information because it was starting to make sense....I started to see some things fit, but this took at least 2 years... I didn't accept everything. The more I worked the word on my own, and saw it for myself, I was more willing to believe it. But Eve, and the serpent thing, that was something I've never been sure of. The thing that bothered me the most was people didn't know how to put the word into practical application, and teachings especially in the 90's and up were often condemnation and if you don't line it up.....As time progressed, any inspiration that used to be in teachings, especially from HQ, were gone. It was all about agenda, and that was a turn-off to me....It just felt like another religion...

    Introduction

    Welcome to the site, Joe. I'm sure you'll fit right in here, and there's many topics to choose from... Would you like a danish to go with your coffee? There's much to "chew" on....! Enjoy....
  18. Here's an Alaskan joke..... Q. What's an arctic fox? A. An eskimo with all her teeth!
  19. I honestly don't think they'll ever apologize for anything...even though they should. I guess they've been so concerned about damage control, they can't think of anything else.
  20. Ah, Rottie, that was a fine joke you got there....
