everyone has an opinion should i just disregard my own direct experiences and leech onto someone elses theory or disbelief about it ?
Ah, now THERE, great toaster guru, was a truly worthy question. Although perhaps I should not reply, because you have not shared the secret of gaining an answer to prayer which most of the world lacks . . . I must be unworthy. Your experience is personal and your own - - do you even have the POWER to disregard it? If your experience can lead us to the same numinous light, find a way to teach.
If you have no way, but want to be a beloved member of AF forums, then emulate the behavior of our favorite christian members: state your experience when asked about it, and if someone says they don't believe you, drop it and join in a game of mafia.
you are not unworthy beautiful one its just that to everything there is a season and its not yet the season for you just keep an open mind anyways until the season comes where is this mafia game located exactly? (oh nevermind already found it)
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
