Stephen, I am sure that some components of the Institutional Church are more interested in compelling people to donate to the institution to perpetuate its power and presence, but I doubt that God wants any "gifts" from us that are not given with jo…
Oh dear, it's getting worse... : (
Thank you, Jim! I hope, by the way, that you are following some of these discussions. I think they are really fascinating.
Best wishes,
Becky
That's fascinating, Ginny. I will keep your point in mind to see what might develop... : )
Ginny,
I found the article interesting until I reached its end, where the author was offering the opinion that the movement of Christians out of the church and into private worship afforded new commercial opportunities for entrepreneurial religious…
Ginny,
The image of people leaving the church as you described it strikes me as being so like the child that grows up and leaves home after attaining adulthood. The IC might be helpful to a person up to a certain point, and then it ceases to supply…
Amen, Keren!
And Happy New Year, everyone!

I don't really have any answers, but I do see the fascination of those dramas with that strong attraction/sacrifice of fulfilling it for the safety of the other. I don't see any direct relationship between that kind of interaction and the thirst for…
Ron and Jim,
I like what you are saying here; it resonates with my inner bell and makes me smile.

Gordon,
I feel that you are not understanding the reason we are in this discussion, so let me try to explain further.
I think that every one of us has already come from approximately the place you are in right now, where you feel that you have bee…
Gordon, I am glad you have found what your heart tells you is the ultimate truth.
This little discussion group is comprised of those of us who are still feeling our spiritual way, on our own, and are unwilling to accept packages of full-blown "answ…
Merry Christmas, my good friends!
While I do not count myself a Christian, I celebrate this holiday as a time of year when everyone remembers what it is to give freely to others from the heart, as the Christian religion says that Christ did by comi…
Okay... hugs all around! ^^
Aw, Keren, a mistaken assumption is not worth a mea culpa! And definitely not a Real Bad!! And a simple mistake is not "irresponsible" either. : ) Hugs for you, dearie!
From my point of view, as humankind evolved physically, it began also to evolve spiritually. As people grew in their abilities to organize and manipulate nature and natural substances, consciousness also grew, beginning as awareness of base needs, e…

- Becky I started a "group" here - The Dragon Journal. There is not much posted there yet, and there is only one other "member" besides me, but I believe you can read the posts whether you join the group or not..
The group is about "facing the dragon" inside of us.

- Just stopping by to say "good morning!", Becky. I have just realized that you are a writer, and hope to check out your writings online soon. I write poetry now and then, and am toying with the idea of writing a children's novel. So -- you ploay the dulcimer! Recently viewed on You Tube a dulcimer rendition of "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie". It was lovely. Have a wonderful week!

- Wow. That sounds like such a wonderful time. My grandmother was born in Machias. I have come 'this' close to Machias, but never been there. A year ago last spring, visited St. Andrew's-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick and sort of looked at Machias across the water.

- My idea of bliss as well! These are the hills of mid-western Maine, which I view from the place I say when I can.... six hundred or so miles from here.

- Thank you so much for being a friend, Becky! I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Peace & blessings from Hamilton, this mellow time of year her.

How to be a Nobody
By Kwee Lain
Everybody wants to be a somebody
Nobody knows how to be a nobody
If ever there is a somebody
Who knows how to be a nobody
Then that nobody is a real somebody
If you ever want to be a nobody
Then follow that somebody
Who already is a nobody
Later, let go of everybody
Even that somebody
Who already is a nobody
Eventually, you will be a real nobody
Written by somebody, who wants to be a nobody, for the benefit of everybody.
