Why do you chose to be such a heartless person? Pommymommy was right about you when she said you are completely devoid of all human emotion.

You should move up here to Oregon. You would be very happy.

The end is near...I really feel it strong. The only other two times I felt this way were when I fell off a fence at age 4 in Edmonds, WA, and spun around once before I hit the ground. Freaked me out totally.

The other was in 1980. My wife and I went to see 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' on 45th in Seattle. Man, I thought my ears were going to blow up the place was so loud. My wife was pregnant with our only child and we just looked at each other and said "Let's get the hell out of here!" The fans of that movie are the real cultists. Sheesh.

Those that say JW's are cultists have never truly loved anything in life but their money and their possessions. I'll let God deal with you.

Over. And out.
Any group is essentially a cult that insists that their way is the path to salvation and any other way is wrong and will be judged as so. This can apply to most major religions on a large scale. On a smaller scale, many people who follow a particular faith are more tolerant to other beliefs. To be able to transcend this judgment and accept everyone for what and who they are is what knowing god is about. God is merely a term or an idea that stirs up all sorts of preconceived notions by those that speak it. I resisted identifying with any sort of spirituality or religion for many years because of the negative beliefs I had acquired about the word "god". In the end I have come to realize that god is merely a representation of our true selves. When we walk a path of understanding, compassion and contentment in each waking moment we are drawn closer to "god". When we judge others we are actually judging ourselves. If you watch your mind closely, you are casting judgment constantly all day. This, combined with the eternal struggle to find contentment in the external or the future is the source of pain.

The horrendous acts in the name of religion have given rise to a mass resentment to the idea of god or spirituality. It is unfortunate because these acts and these people who claim to be acting in the name of god are probably the most confused about what it means to know god in the first place.

Sorry for the rant, I just had a cup of coffee and the words flowed off my fingertips.
