I have been involved over 30 years with what is best described as the Church Without Walls. It is all about having a personal relationship with God and becoming at-one with Him by receiving God's Divine Love into our souls brought to us by the Holy Spirit through prayer and earnest longings.

God's Divine Love lifts you up and brings a blissful happiness, peace, tolerance, forgiveness, and most of all love for everyone.

If anyone here is not satisfied with the old way of thinking about religion, you may get a whole new perspective about where you came from, why you are here, and where you are going.

If you are interested in learning about what happens when we die and where we go after that and you are not convinced that what you've been told is the real deal, I'd be happy to share with you what I know.

In the meantime, if you would like to check out a website that deals with this subject at length, go to: http://www.truthforallpeople.com.

This should be really interesting to observe, someone havein a personal relationship with an "invisible friend"

I do not think your invisible friend will be able to explain anything new as to the THE QUESTION

Btw the answer is "42"

Share away, but heathen like us may just pull apart the postulations.

First things first. Thanks for enlightening me about the urls, 'cause when I saw that I thought what? I'm a big fan of doing things the right way. But for some reason, I still don't get what you're talking about, 'cause I'm not seeing that icon. So if I may indulge a heathen like you to explain exactly where it is, I'd be very grateful.

I'm not a texter, so I'll have to look up 42. The only number I know of is 143.

When I first heard about all of this... the new thought on God, I thought, why me? Why is someone telling me this stuff that I don't even want to know or even care about?

But for some unknown reason, I didn't tell this person to shut up and take a hike, I just kept listening. But I let it go in one ear and out the other and I didn't pay much attention to it.

And even though I love to rock and I've been to hundreds of rock concerts, Def Leppard being my favorite band, I've never smoked weed or had any interest in ever trying it. And besides being the cheapskate that I am, why should I shell out hard-earned money for something stupid, when I can get an even better result for free.

And if you knew me, you would actually come to know that I'm not some religious fanatic, which I think is probably the best part here. I'm not here to preach to or convert anyone. I merely have info to share for those who may wish to learn something new. And it's your call and your free will choice whether you have the desire or not.

Perhaps because christers do this to us a whole lot of the time.

Then, how come the first thing you did was start preaching?

If it came across that way, you may have just been in a foul mood thinking that's what I was doing.

I am sharing what I know and giving the results of what I'm experiencing.

Use the post reply feature instead of the quick reply window after a post/page

Maryjane results are guaranteed whereas invisible friends are subjective to the person.

I did not see you as a fanatic, just so you would know that some of us here are pretty skeptical - even to newer versions of spirituality.

Good that you did not post in the xian forum as by now you would have already had your "character" pulled to pieces. At least us heathen are mostly tongue in cheek

My question is,....Why do christers use "know" as a euphemism for "believe" when they are, in fact, quite different things.
