Oh Man! I've been on the road for 2 days and hadn't heard anything about his passing on the news. What a great musician. Rest in peace, Doc!

Are you speaking to me in the secnd para.???
The way I read it, Steve, LuvsKim named you as the subject of the 1st paragraph. The second and last seems to be directed to Hypo.

You're an inspiration, Murph! My wife quit earlier this month. To support her, and to remove any temptation, I started going outside to partake. That lasted a couple days... I was spending more time out in the heat than I was spending in the AC. I decided to quit too. It's been 1 week. I haven't saved any money though.... my grocery bill went up $40 and I've gained 10 pounds.

How comfortable are you with doubt?.
Does your "belief system" involve "black and white truths", or "shades of gray"?
Whichever you choose, do you know "why" you are the way you are?
Do you consider "certainty" a strength? a weakness? something else?
Doubt used to haunt me, but hasn't bothered me since I discovered the Truth.
My belief contains pure black and white "truths" that advise that I restrict and govern my thoughts and actions accordingly. There is no "Right" that could be "Wrong". No "Wrong" that may be "Right."
Though I am puzzled as to why the path that led me to where I am now wandered so far afield, the absolute certainty of my relationship with my Creator answers the "Why am I here?" question.
Certainty in my beliefs is comforting, and lends me strength to continue when I am weak.

Might want to re-read the acticle and get the real info vs the headline.
Maybe you should have read the whole article.
"One reason the group believes the uranium-thorium estimates to be more accurate than carbon dating is that they produce better matches between known changes in the Earth's orbit and changes in global glaciation.
According to carbon dating of fossil animals and plants, the spreading and receding of great ice sheets lagged behind orbital changes by several thousand years, a delay that scientists found hard to explain. But Dr. Richard G. Fairbanks, a member of the Lamont-Doherty group, said that if the dates of glaciation were determined using the uranium-thorium method, the delay - and the puzzle - disappeared.
The group theorizes that large errors in carbon dating result from fluctuations in the amount of carbon 14 in the air. Changes in the Earth's magnetic field would change the deflection of cosmic-ray particles streaming toward the Earth from the Sun. Carbon 14 is thought to be mainly a product of bombardment of the atmosphere by cosmic rays, so cosmic ray intensity would affect the amount of carbon 14 in the environment at any given time. The Lamont-Doherty group says uranium-thorium dating not only is more precise than carbon dating in some cases, but also can be used to date much older objects.Carbon dating is unreliable for objects older than about 30,000 years, but uranium-thorium dating may be possible for objects up to half a million years old, Dr. Zindler said."

Steve, Who wouldn't love to live in a world completely devoid of defect, disease, and death? However, my personal beliefs are such that I feel that these physical afflictions are necessary for our spiritual advancement.
-
Is this a rhetorical question, or are you in possession of the cures and offering to share?

Old news- Carbon dating is not accurate. http://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/31/us/errors-are-feared-in-carbon-dating.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm

Nice story! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats, and my best wishes to the new couple! (Was it captured on video? If so, AFV might be interested.)

You mentioned this course in another thread and it piqued my interest. I appreciate your providing the link. I gave the course lessons a quick scan and like what I read. It appears that the only promised miracle is in the change of one's perspective to recognize our intimate relationship with the Creator (whether other miracles are possible depends upon our recognition of God's power within ourselves). It basically echos what I have always believed. I started the course today. Thanks again!

Budda...
Thank you, Brother!!! I try to check your topics last so I leave the site with a smile. Thanks for the "belly" laugh.

Hi Constantine!
I like what vegtam said... "To minister is to serve and help....." but would add that you don't NEED to be ordained to be of service to others. The ordination is only necessary if you're going to perform rites restricted by your government to "ordained" ministers. Congrats on having found your path, and good luck on your journey!

Thanks, Bp!

I bet necking with her is a all day job.

What Could Cause You To Kill Another Person?
Unreasoning, uncontrollable anger.
I was once saved from commiting the act (through the grace of God and the restraint of several men), and that's all I'll say about it.

Interesting dream! I wish I could approach the Christ as you did in your dream, mine are not nearly as revealing.
Your interpretation of the dream is (IMO) more important to your spiritual development than anyone else's. I personally believe that the Christ WAS reincarnated many times in many places before he faced the final test. There's a collection of the readings of Edgar Cayce concerning the incarnations of the soul that became the Christ in which he states that He was present from the beginning and appeared first as the original man, Adam (not Cain).

My wife quit yesterday.... she's quit many times before but has always relapsed. (If today was an indication of days to come, her quiting is going to be harder on me than her. Wish us luck!)
-
This is mild compared to her previous public exposure.

Sending prayers for your Grandmother, you, and your family.
(BTW- I love the M.A. quote.)

What was your stance about population control again?
I don't recall ever having expessed an opinion on population control. If you're asking about my opinion on abortion.... you'll find my opinion clearly stated in the thread dealing with that topic.
-
Do you have children?
Yes, I do. We were blessed with 5 kids... 2 girls and 3 boys, who have presented us with 8 grandkids (5 girls, 3 boys), soon to be 10 total, as we're expecting 2 more girls by the end of August.
If so, is this how you describe your parenting role and obiligation?
Yes, I'd say it's an accurate (if abbreviated) account of my perception of my parental responsibility.

Thank you, Brother, for the quick refresher, and most especially for the blessings of peace and enlightenment! Thanks again.

So, according to your own logic, under the right circumstances:
You, Dan, would molest a child.
You, Dan, would torture an innocent.
You, Dan, would rape a man or a woman.
You, Dan, would commit murder.
You, Dan, sound like a sociopath.
