I know you are a UM Reformed Calvinist, but still I am pleasantly surprised to hear you say that. LOL

Do you think the songs we sing in church mean much in the way we think about Christianity? This is a small excerpt from a book none of you will probably ever read: The whole rise of Western Civilization — science and technology, medicine, the arts, constitutionalism, the jury system, free...

This is an article I have in my files. It won't cure a thing, but it might help some of us think a little. It is truly little more than two drops in the ocean of self-awareness. When you choose to go into most any psychiatric field, even in a low-level way as I did, you are subject to...

I loved her. She was my aunt through marriage on my father's side.

I'm afraid I have to agree with you. (Maybe she will have learned a little something if she chooses to return..... provided they let her come back.)

Read my post. I told you I know you were irritated when you BEGAN both of those posts. But, there was all sorts of time that elapsed between then and when you finally punched the SEND button. And during all that time, no one was laughing at you. There were no posts on the screen for you to...

No, you didn't..... and you know it. Now, let's take a frist step. Let's try to be honest in all we say. First of all, no matter how you feel when you start typing, in writing and posting a message to a forum, there really is no "heat of the moment." The mere act of typing removes us from...

Actually, he was referred to as "The prince of Devils" in some Jewish circles.

Some people say the same thing about some of mine. And what is John's opinion on some of what you post? LOL

And, Jen, some anger and animosity is understood.... BUT the plain-out vulgarity has got to be OUT OF THE PICTURE from now on. It needs to stop..... as of five minutes ago. Right this minute, how about you make yourself a list of all the nasty names you would prefer to call people, and...

She shouldn't. And I think we would all prefer she didn't. But, I think most of us are big enough to take a little of that until she picks herself up to the point that she no longer feels compelled to resort to that.

Why, Jennifer, can someone call me any name they choose, and I just laugh about it, but you want to announce to the world that you "have been hurt" if someone does exactly the same thing to you? I really want to know why you choose to do that. (No condemnation.... just explain to me why you do...

You are fifteen years beyond legal age.... you can handle that.

…………. and let "her" not cast a stone back unless "she" is, herself, without sin. LOL

Beelzebub or Beelzebul is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon.

We can all choose to be "victims" all our lives. Someone that other people always control. Or, we can decide to be who we want to be. It is OUR choice, NOT theirs. (Unless, of course our minds are so weak that we WANT to be "victims" controlled by someone else.) Admittedly, it is a bit...

I am not especially bright, but I also am not dumb. Right now, I am about halfway through rereading, FOR THE FOURTH TIME, a 1,200+ page book that I am determined to finally understand.

No one can make anyone else feel anything. They, themselves, CHOOSE how they are going to feel about anything and everything that happens. (Read — really read and absorb — the short little REBT article I posted.)

I think he is saying it is only your feelings and your pride that you allowed to be hurt. No one hurt you.... you chose to decide you were "hurt."

You haven't read either of those two article I recently posted, have you?
