Another thing to think about JD, is, I know that you feel like its hard because now there has to be some kind of code and you don't like the fact that you can't talk about the stories and FAITH that you have taken the time to know so much about.
But, stop and really think about that. Throughout history there were many people who reached out and tried to teach others how to live and respect other humans and what life is all about. And all throughout history, many of those people met with others that would not listen and made it very hard for them to give whatever message they wanted to give to others. And none of these people really had any riches, or power and wealth or social standing. And many of them didn't have a prestigeous dwelling or castle or anything really materialistic, did they? And many of them really suffered along their path as well didn't they? And somehow no matter how hard it was throughout history, they just kept appearing and every one of them kept reaching out. And every single one of them faced people who picked on them and made their message so very hard to give, and yet they still did it and those messages are still here today, and there are still people that present themselves and reach out and still meet with negetive messages in their paths, but they still keep going.
And the real truth is that we don't have to talk about these people. All we have to do is remember their messages and send our own messages that are pretty much the same. Code? well that is nothing new but it didn't stop them, so why should it stop you? No one can code true respect and guidance and will for reaching out to other human beings and helping them. And every human being, almost every one, enjoys one thing, will listen to one thing, LOVE and BEING LOVED. It is said that most people love to have their ego's messaged and that is the way we are all programed.
So that means that everyone can receive and even be receptive to good messages.
And I don't care how many PHD's someone has or how STRONG THEIR PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE IN A CERTAIN FAITH IS, the bottom line is the passing of a constant message that tells each person BELIEVE that they are special, have purpose and need to live out their lives doing their best to use whatever gifts they have been given to add to the lives and surroundings they are existing in.
It is not about hiding or not having permission to present certain names or books or specific knowledge that can be owned or structured by any group, it is way more basic than that, AND THAT IS THE REAL MESSAGE, of having FAITH, and being SPIRITUAL, AND FINDING SANTUARY IN JUST THAT.
And that is why it is not a thing, a person, or a place and it cant be really seen.
And the only thing it ever was, was ever really meant to be, was a MESSAGE.
People have come here in this forum and they look at the guidelines and they are totally confused. And there was even a big debate about it, and that debate did nothing, said nothing about THE MESSAGES that don't really need ANY of those words that are not allowed in this forum. Is that a bad thing? Really think about that. Because if all those words up there that cannot be used in this forum were used only to create some kind of battle ground, THERE IS NO WAY ANY GOOD MESSAGE IS GOING TO GET THROUGH. So, if we take away that, if we follow the guidelines what will be left? THE MESSAGES THAT CAN BE SO NEEDED WITHOUT THE BATTLES THAT DO NOTHING FOR ANYONE.
Now I know that you have very strong FAITH JD, and there is a lot of history and people behind your personal FAITH. But in respect for those people with all their stories and struggles with what little they had, what did they really want? It was not anything anyone could touch, it was always somewhat intangable. And that is because what they really wanted was the MESSAGE.
The problem with this forum, is that it presents wordage that has a meaning to different people. And when these different people come here and they see all the rules of what not to say they are very confused. And the only gripe I have about this forum is there is no real instruction on how to really use this forum so when it is used there is a sense of a question, am I crossing a line? And am I implying anything bad? Am I going to say or do something wrong here? Does this mean we cannot be a person of FAITH here? And am I really so psychologically incompetant that I don't see something? Outside PC it is so confusing and we can't do certain things anymore and I find it troubling, does this mean we cannot have FAITH anymore? OR, I am so hurt and facing scary things and I feel empty and I thought it was ok to come here, but I feel strange and lost here, can I not get the comfort I need? And I don't know how to do this without my personal imprint of what it means to me to get spiritual support. And I even worry about a person that is walking a dangerous line where they are really questioning their lives and they come here in a hope to grab on and only see confusion. Thats what I worry about to be honest.
And that is what we all have to watch out for, the confusion when a person is already confused and may even be in danger. There should actually be some kind guard here that can quickly come forward and push away all the questions and CODE. And bring the only thing that it the most important thing beyond all the guidelines, THE MESSAGE that can be used for everyone.
