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...

Hi! Sunesis.

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....

Here's an Alaskan joke.....

Q. What's an arctic fox?

A. An eskimo with all her teeth!

(((Seth))) Praying for you.

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.

Eyesopen, it's great you have such an understanding of your family's background.

I'm with you as far as wearing green. My eyes are green, too.

Well, I'm definitely Irish, and proud of it... I saw a guy with this huge green hat; it looked like a skyscraper on top of his head....had to ask him if it was stuffed....oh well, it looked that way to me! No! I wasn't partying just then!

Just had to ask...Who else is Irish and proud of it? If not, what are your other origins?

My Dad's side is French and Irish. My aunt who is a nun, did this huge family history..Definitely from Ireland...sorry can't remember where...(Yeah, she had fun picking at me while I was in twi...about how much I abundantly shared to the ministry)

My mom's side is Scotch, British, and Blackfoot Indian (high cheek-bones anyone?) from the St. Lawrence River across the top of NY State... My dad used to pick on my mom because she has a long nose. (from her indian background or so I'm told) We used to do these family films, and he always capped his movies with a final side-clip of her nose.....He'd always laugh...

Happy Birthday!

Umm...what am I supposed to look at? Are there any redeeming qualities?

Time for a moat!

I don't think I've actually even SEEN it before!

hahaha

Yeah, the frillies never did anything for me, either...

Thanks, Shortfuse.

It's sad that people resort to that kind of behaviour. I guess they think they can get away with it because no one will ever know. But sooner or later it will catch up as the lies continue to mount. You're going to slip up somewhere...Just don't understand the mentality in that.

Right, Hap. I was relating it to my experience with concerts, since I don't go to games. I think there are parallels here.

How exciting, BP! Let us know how it goes!

Can't say I've been to alot of games, but concerts are my thing. Do you know how hard it is to get any enjoyment when someone or a group of people next to you are booing? I think it's rude...

praying here, too.

what were the other categories? I forget...Stately and powerful....There was a gloom and doom one, too.

I'm glad to hear she's better. Mo, I will look forward to seeing you again on the boards. Take care.

I agree Rascal. If you're going to extend your services as a professional, then BE a professional.

Act like one. Keep your personal thoughts, preferences, hatred, and whatever else out of it. Otherwise, you have no business wearing that white coat..

QT, I wasn't directing anything at you. You didn't start it. Even though I thought you made some excellent points.

It wasn't directed at you, LikeanAngel. I just think it's rude when people derail a thread. You didn't do that.
