  1. I do not doubt you about that. I believe there are over 5000 members here. I am posting and writing what is important to me. Well I tell you one thing if it was not for the I-ching I saved myself and my sister from a harmful situation by" recongnizing the sign of the times" Anyone is free to comment about it. I am posting what is dear to my heart. I do not need retomemories to make me fell better.
  2. I read the "rock of ages" and "The book of changes". Even Richard Wilhem quoted the Bible to make it more clear the meaning of the Hexagrams when he translated the Ancient Chinese text into German,then later into english by carey f. baynes. I fell it makes be a better christian. I used this in my life a few years ago and I still use it now when I need too. Hexagram 33 Tun / Retreat page 129 to130 The power of the dark is ascending. The light retreats to security, so that dark cannot encrouch upon it. This retreat is not of man's will but of natural law. Therefore in this case withdrawal is proper; it is the correct to behave in order not to exhaust one's forces. (1) conditions are such that the hostel forces favored by the time are advancing. In this case retreat is the right course; and it is through retreat that success is achieved. But success consisits in being able to carry out the retreat correctly. Retreat is is not to be confused with flight. Flight means saving oneself under ant circumstances, whereas retreat is a sign of strenght. We must be careful not to miss the right moment while we are in full possession of power and position. Then we shall be able to interpret the signs of the times before it is too late and to prepare for the provisional retreat instead of being drawn into a desperate life and death struggle. Thus we do not simply abandom the field to the opponent; we make it difficult for him to advance bt showing perserverance in single ascts of resistance. In this way we prepare, while retreating , fot the countermovment. Understanding the laws of a constructive retreat od this sort is not easy. The meaning that lies hidden in such a time is important. (1) The idea expressed by this hexagram is similar to that in the saying of Jesus" But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil." Matt. 5; 39.
  3. So if I do not see it from their point of view then there is something wrong with me? Well whatever is left of the way they can have it! Well least I "outed "someone who deserved it.
  4. I am with you on this one waysider being possessed by an evil spirit or demon spirit is B.S to me. I was raised as a catholic. I was never taught this nonsence.

  7. I forgot to finish from my last post here. This "person" had a sister she told me "Thank God for the way it saved my brother". litte did I know at the time this person was in this twi cult.
  8. I knew someone (whos name I will not mention) Was studying to be a deacon in the catholic church, but there was scandel reguarding a priest. He left and found the TWI. I can understand why this person left. Its been my point of view that its not the religion but the people running it.

  12. I also like this one when giovanni approachs!
  13. I love to read the bible, I also like to read other religious philosopy's as well. The book the I-ching really had an impact on my like. The most life changing thing I ever read was on page 166-167, hexagram 45 Kuai/ Break-through (Resoluteness). Even if only one inferior man is occupying a ruling position in a city, he is able to oppress superior men. Even a single passion still lurking in the heart has power to obscure reason. Passion and reason cannot exist side by side-- there fore fight without quater is nessary if the good is too prevail. In a resolute struggle of the good against evil, there are, however, definite rules that must not be disregarded, if it is to succeed. Frist resolution must be based on a union of strenght and friendliness. second a comprise with evil is not possible; evil must under all circumstances be openly discredited.Nor must our own passions and shortcomings be grossed over. Third, the struggled must not be carried on directly. If evil is branded, it thinks of weapons, and if we do it a favor of fighting blow by blow, we lose in the end because thus we get ourselves get entangeled in hatred and passion. Therefore it is important to begin at home, to be on guard in our own persons against the faults we have branded. In this way, finding no opponent, the sharp edges of weapons of evil become dulled. For the sames reasons we should not combat our own faults directly. As long as we wrestle with them, they continue victorious. finally, the best way to fight evil is to make energetic progress in the good.
  14. Rupert is long on sleeze, short on anything approaching journalism, You got that right!

  22. Another anagram for J.(littleman) This happen almost 6 years ago on the east coast of the united states when a love one was lost. On page 306-307 of the I-ching, Hexgram 60 Chien (Limitation). The authors of the book of changes knew what robbers were like. It is said if a man carries a burden on his back he becomes a target and nonetheless rides in a carriage he thereby encorages robbers to come near. Carrying a burden on the back is the bussiness of a common man. A carriage is the appurtence of a man of rank. Now when a common man uses the appurtance of a man of rank robber plot to take it away from him. If a man insolent towards those above him and those below him. Robbers plan to attack him. Carelessness in guarding things tempts thieves to steal. For that is an invation for robbers. What do you think of that?
  23. This is my favorite song from Jonny Cash!
