I agree Hex, but I may show a little favoritism at times....
This is a boy who isn't out of high school yet.... his room at home is a " for real " recording studio...
I LOVE to see young folks who know what they want to do in life...
and Donovan is a genuine GOOD KID.... it's GLORIOUS to me...

Folks, I'd like to introduce you to a young fellow from my neighborhood who has REAL musical talent...
I've known this young man since birth and he's a genuine good guy, and talented as all get out...
give him a listen and consider supporting him...

Spong on hell and being born again.
Pete, this man raises the hair on my arms, and neck, and legs, and.. and...
His words call to me as well... I also believe in the message he is spreading...
His light, IMO, is dispelling the darkness which has settled over Christianity over the course of two thousand years...
But do not expect it to call to all.... that is simply the way it is.... and Our Father HAS allowed it to be so....
Rejoice... for that is what the message inspires.... do not allow the darkness to take that from you... shine YOUR light as well... that's what we are called to do.... we are not called to fight, but to suffer the darkness until The Kingdom Come... and The Kingdom is Now.... you need no longer suffer the Darkness....
... by posting you have done your bit.... you have spread the news of The Kingdom....of course, that is my opinion.....
... I merely seek to agree with you, and comfort your frustration.... -
Sweet, I just found out that Starbucks has offered me a free coffee on my birthday !!
I'm off for a nice hot cafe Mocha....
wonder if I have to pay extra for my usual triple venti Mocha?
-
Thanks Rev Ed.... ooooh, such a popular Birthday for me....
-
this is good to hear, tell her that there are many of us that wish her well, and pray daily for her best and highest good...
-
whew, someone get me a cold drink.... and a cigarette....
nice work, my friend, your imagery is technicolor....
edit: and the previous post is appreciated as well - I felt your outrage deeply...
-
I join you in this prayer with the exception of the fourth line... Please reconsider the motivation behind it...

Brother Peter you are discovering what has become a JOY in my life. The thoughts which come from our members have been a constant source of inspiration to me... and I look forward to much more of the same.... glad to have you here discovering what has made my life more enjoyable....

I shamefully neglected to give credit for this to the The Nazerene Way website

The Prayer to Our Father in the Original Aramaic
Abwûn O cosmic Birther, from whom the breath of life comes,
d'bwaschmâja who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
Nethkâdasch schmach May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Têtê malkuthach. Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha. Let Your will come true in the universe (all that vibrates) just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna. Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,
Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên. detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma) like we let go the guilt of others.
Wela tachlân l'nesjuna Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),
ela patzân min bischa. but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn. From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Amên. Sealed in trust, faith and truth. (I confirm with my entire being)
Edit :This is not my translation.... I added nothing.... this is how it would have been taught to the disciples....
or you may listen to it in Galilean Aramaic ( or very close...):
-
thank you Theresa.... so few words, such vivid imagery....
-
Amen, Fawzo.... compounded by the Amen I was about to give Genesis....

I went back and realized the question wasn't simply about bangladesh... i haven't a clue how that is gonna work out for you....
-
yes, but it was because of his strong desire to go out among his fellows.... It wasn't meant in any snide way... I don't know if the witnesses are active in bangladesh...
On the surface, i would wonder why you could not do as any other member of the clergy do. A ULC ordination is an ordination the same as any other.
The question would be whether Bangladesh has any reason to think of a ULC ordination as any thing other than authentic. I would think YOU would be the perfect one to enlighten US as this process unfolds for you.
I intend to do a search of the net now, because you have piqued my curiosity... i'll let you know if I find anything useful...
-
is the number 144,000 significant to you?
JK.... -
Coolhand, you are assuming everyone who reads the book will start from the same foundation you have....
some would say you operate from faulty premises.... as do the the teachings you are learning.....
I'm not sure where the sentiment you are displaying may be found in the book you are studying in your classes, but I'm sure you have a rationalization...
I'd say the publisher could probably give you an idea of how many folks out there appreciate what the man has to say... I appreciate the review, however you comment about pete ...... misplaced humor, my friend... perhaps you should meditate on why pete gets up your craw so much....
-
This is excellent news.... my patience is rewarded....
Thank you Stormson.
My prayers continue, and I hope for the highest and best good for everyone involved .

I've been concerned as well, but I am prepared to be very patient.

sometimes it's a colorful affair to REALLY explore history...
It is now more than a thousand years since these territories and cities have been given to the priests and ever since then the most violent wars have been waged on their account, and yet the priests neither now posses them in peace, nor will be ever able to posses them. It were in truth better before the eyes of God, and the world that these pastors should entirely renounce the dominium temporale:for since Sylvester's time the consequences of the temporal power have been innumerable wars and the overthrow of peoples and cities. How is it possible that there has never been any good pope to remedy such evils and that so many wars have been waged for these transient possessions. Truly we cannot serve God and Mammon at the same time, cannot stand with one foot in Heaven and the other on Earth."
Giovanni de' Mussi
Chronicle of Piacenza,c.1350
almost a thousand years since he asked his question, does the answer remain the same?
I think it does, because it is a TRUTH....
They still struggle to hold on to the control of daily lives as much as they ever did....
And that would be worse than "reality" television how? (Other than you can't smell the rot through the television).
that's the point.... you don't get cadaver chunks on your shoes by watching tv......
good thing they didn't have e-bay back then - there would still be pieces of him for sale - and folks bidding on them....

I have loved this song
since the very first time I heard it...
mid 1970s if I remeber correctly.
I've always loved that song...
the line " the witch of November come stealin " - raises the hair on my arms for some reason...
-
Of course. Haven't you ever heard of a pet rock? If you can get a pet ordained, you can get a rock ordained.
I suppose you will have to give your rock a name. How about, "Peter" ?
ah, man - coffee sqiuirted out of my nose on that Carl.....

If I were going to have to dig them up for heresy I would have to exhume them all!!!!
my imagination is way too good for reading about these things....
imagine the deterioration of the body, and the crowd gathered around watching... yeeech...

Rev Rainbow do you know of Marozia, senatrix of Rome ( 926-932 )? She is commonly believed to be the root of the legends of Pope Joan... another era of the Catholic church one should be familiar with.... This was a woman who thoroughly lived in the Roman style - and y'all should know what that means.....
from before 900ad to after the sack of Rome in the 1500's there were criminals and deviants in charge of the Pontiff's chair... thats a solid 600 years of falsity on the papal throne.... not to mention the happenings before 900...
