shortly thereafter the men in white coats come to the corner and take the crazy lady away and lock her up.

Later she escapes and kills 10 people saying that god told her to do it.

Yes it is a good thing she listened to the voice of god eh?

Doesnt sound too wise to me.

See 5birdy I can make up stories too!

Jesus said "Don't cast your pearls before swine." I'm not implying that anyone in this discussion is a pig, but think carefully about this message. If you throw them down in front of swine, do you think they are going to be impressed? They won't see any value in it, and what's more, the pearls aren't terribly digestible. They'll likely choke the poor animal.

Here's the message in context, which makes it even more interesting:

Fiveeagles, the love and patience you've shown is really lovely. I appreciate it, but I do think people feel alienated by the way you sometimes express yourself, like the way you use "Christianese." I support the message that Jesus brought. I wish I could be a better "fisher of men," and I think you've been brave and sweet. I just wonder whether these conversations do more harm than good.

The church is two thousand years old and its only 15% of what it should be?

That says everything right there.

When you make spirituality an organized/hierarchical institution, its going to become corrupt. Simple and plain.


Every individual on this planet has their own unique interpretation about what god is. There is no single answer and this is the root cause for my dismissal of most religions.

Actually, I do have a bit of a fathead....how did you know?

Ok, Kermo, that is great advice. That was going to be my last post in this thread, until you spoiled it with kindness. I am always a sucker when people are acting out of love.

Have you heard of Pastor Graham Cooke?

This is a second hand story, so there might be errors in the interpretation...if you ever hear it from him straight.

Well he is a preacher from England and has a beautiful ministry. Well, he had a church and there were these two guys that would come every Sunday. They would come with placecards and mock him while he preached. It was abusive and vile.

Graham brought it before the Lord and asked him what the problem was.
God revealed a beautiful picture of a sculpture. It was gorgeously shaped and was built out of precious metals and jewels. God asked Graham, "how do you think I am building this sculpture?" Graham was like "those two guys?" God said yep!

Kermit, do you remember the story of Paul evangelising in Philipi? Well, remember the one demon possessed lady who followed them into the city declaring they were the servants of the high Lord. Remember Paul's reaction?

For the most part, there are many redemptive qualities in these conversations.

I would definitely listen to your ideas if you want to pm me, just do it after the next program of Bob Jones ok?

Oh dear, our ignorance and bigotry is alienating even people who profess to be of the same faith! Never fear! Im sure we can find something in the good book to justify our aggressive conversion activity. Ah yes! It says here that the righteous will be persecuted! Great, that covers us quite nicely! All very circular and convenient, but it does show we`re right though!

Hey, we`re inventing a new religion. We are taking the roots of another very old religion, but we want to change it a bit so we can call it something new and take control over it. We are also saying that we are the ONLY way to go, so we are effectively saying that ALL other religions around the world are wrong and that everyone must convert to our way, cause we`re just so right, you see. We figure this might cause some resistance. So I think it would be a good idea if we put in our book that we will be persecuted. That kinda covers us for when people resist our aggressive attempt to take over and wipe out the other world religions! Groovy baby!

Five Eagles, I think you either have some mild brain damage, perhaps autism. Either that, or you were profoundly maladjusted in your childhool and youth, and have been persecuted, teased, and bullied during a significant part of your upbringing.

Either way, you are quite obviously not mentally or emotionally healthy.

You know what all of your `desperate to be different, desperate to be special` claptrap on this board screams to me?

DEEPLY UNHAPPY PERSON

Wow. I read 8 pages, only to know what I knew after the first. fiveeagles...a light on the hill. Thanks for your bravery. It's inspirational.

[Grotto]
