TPW, Sorry to be cut off for being a bore. Izzy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arsene Lupin Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 11:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Interesting questions, Izzy.
Izzy: TPW, Do you ever meet with others of your persuasion, like Believers meet at church? Or do you just learn on your own, perhaps via the internet discussing what you think with others? TPW: Some will congregate and do what we call a "Kin" which can be imediate family and "extended" family. These are chosen with GREAT care. When I call someone a friend, it's because I truly believe it. I will also meet others at different festivals, mostly at the harvest festival. Some of us will meet on a regular basis, but since we are an earth-based faith, it can be anywhere since there is no set place for the gods to congregate. Izzy: It seems strange to me that your beliefs are not concerned with "truth" or "sin". Is it all just about "me being a self-reliant person, strong in myself"? TPW: Of course there is more to it. But you see, to us spiritual matters and prenatural matters are not discussed with strangers. When someone asks us about our individual experiences, it has the same effect as if I would have asked you in public how much you weigh. In other words...not likely for me to tell you. Izzy: You are so young and strong at this moment. But life has a way of teaching us how incredibly fragile...*SNIP* TPW: Sorry to cut it short but such introspections are a bore. I heard that speech before and to tell you the truth, I am not in the least swayed by it. Why? 1) I knew you'd say something to that effect. You can't help it, it's part of how your doctrine works, and so I forgive you for it. 2) I doubt my life will be that harsh and even if it were, I hardly see it as an excuse to blame your god for all of it, nor a reason to bow down to your doctrine. To do so would not only demean me, you and christianity at large.
