Did someone say haunted? Count me out

I'm with Mike I don't do ghost.

I'm going to have to get used to the new forum but I like it. I also like Yahushua.

I'm with Ebony, the story of me is about how I feel about me inside. Most of my life it was insecure because of my mother. The story of us is my culture. We are Jewish as well and I think that is a spooky story. I mean there is so much in our culture, Good and Bad. I feel like the us is cultural and how we have evolved as a culture and ethnicity. We have a legacy that I'm not always proud of. I am Jewish that believes in Yahushua or Yahweh either one is fine with me I believe in him. The whole picture I see as all of us as humans and it's not a good picture. War, death tyranny, oppression, discrimination, greed, I'm with UE, we need to get rid of Money. I liked those WAF cities and I really wish we could do that. That is the only thing that could save us.

I'm going to stay on topic in this thread. I honestly didn't know how to do this but now that I've read a couple of the post I think I do. When it comes to my story. I think we need to know who we are and that's the I so the face in the mirror helped me get in touch with who I am and understand my individual story. Age has help me improve on me as I have learned not only is money not everything Mike, neither is looks. When it comes to our story, I think ethnic group and that would be southern with all our traditions and way of life. I am very southern embracing all the customs and practices that come along with it. The story for me would pertain to Americans, all of us. As a species I think we fall short of the mark, but as American's our behavior is shameful. I mean they just keep coming up with ways to that complicate the lives of so many people. Yes a lot of people like to act like the less fortunate are responsible for their own misfortune but that is ignorance at it's worse. These are the same idiots out here voting for Trump. What is scary is how many ignorant people their are who will vote for our next president. I wish Barack could just stay in office.

I think the article really spoke to how we think as Gnostics, how we feel, and how sad we are about the state we are in right now in America.

Kelton I meant to welcome you in the previous thread bro...welcome to the group.

I remember we were polling on a name for the savior and I'm for his Hebrew name because I feel better calling him something other than the name, no offense, white people taught us since we arrived. I like Yahushua.

The article spoke on many topics that concern me and always reminds me why I'm happy in my faith. We really care and I think that's what matters to God. You know my aunt, the one my mother went to stay with when she left Deb and Tony's place told me we seem like we really care about what is going on around us. It shocked me and I was glad to know she read the recent article. She likes you Mark she said you have the anointing

From reading Richard Rohr's novel Things Hidden Scripture as Spirituality I understood this to me alone, Us as in cultural, and the story I figured meant the United States. So for my story it's been rough but it shaped me into the man I am today I lived for a reason and my mother had nothing to do with it other than giving birth. I survived for a reason and an adult male I believe I made some good decisions, going in a new direction separate from that of my family. Our story is cultural and I think we are to divided as a race. Until Black people stand together nothing will improve for us. That sorry as Ben Carson for example, that fool is a doctor and had the nerve to say he would honor a black woman with a two dollar bill instead of the twenty dollar bill. How many two dollar bills are there? I know his wife is white and he's just dirt to me. There are two many like him though. The story is what we look like and represent as a country and that's not looking good. The article made that clear. We are the riches country, well I think Japan does good too, and we have some of the worse poverty in the world. The story looks pretty bleak.

I guess it's time to add my comment to the forum about the activity we were assigned to do in April. I know we were to vote on a name for the lord, and I'm for the Hebrew name Yahushua and I'm not offended Benji, I agree with you.

I also associate the my story with what has happened to me personally in my life and I'd say I grew, from a determined boy to a determined adult. I learned to accept things I never thought I would accept and in doing so I finally met the woman of my dreams in the middle age stage of my life. Now I'm a old man, retiring because I'm moving slower, and I can't be more grateful I found the faith I always felt I belong to.

The our story I associate with cultural as well but American cultural. We as Americans have made some great technological advancements but we are still very primitive in how we treat our fellow man and woman. To continue causing catastrophic problems for the purpose of financial gain is barbaric. Lives are lost and there will be prices to pay. We had 9/11 and then this last recession. People were devastated by this and no one should ever be comfortable causing that kind of devastation.

The story is our species story and it's not looking good. It's still to savage and people are just not growing. I tell you what. You can definitely see how some are of a level the majority of those around them fall short of. Keep you kids in public schools and they'll fall right in to suit. Something is going on and it's time we woke up and took note of it.

Yeah I can't believe I didn't do this right away Nico.

I like Yahushua, and I'm not offended Benji.

The article touched on some issues that as American's should be ashamed of the conditions too many of us live with everyday. But I think we have some very ignorant citizens that admire unproductive values and I'm with Ben...we really need a Male like Virgil in UE right now.

I also concluded my story was about my and what my life has been about. Pretty eventful and I've learned quite a bit about me. I ended up here and I know this is where I belong.

Our story is the US story and that is troubling. We are too fat, to unhealthy, to discriminating, and to many of us are not very bright this is evident on sight. We only care about profit and something has been lost. We make even humans expendable. The food industry has gotten away with far to much. We don't need to make anything else private. That's killing people, families with love ones in jail are being robbed blind so others, a few, can profit form confining and treating human beings like shit. Greed is just out of control in this country and none of us are safe.

The story is the human story and all I can say is 95/5 it goes back to that. Only percent of us are progressing and as we look around and see how people are willing to elect a man like Trump into office there are no further words needed.

Okay...wow. I vote Yahushua as well.

The article gave me a frightening look into how mislead we have all been and how we are now is a glimpse of what bad practice has caused. In the old testament if we have a god behaving malevolently than there is no wonder human kind behaves that way. What appears to have happen is human males in charged determined we needed an excuse for bad behavior. Someone to mimic and another to blame. Humanity couldn't accept a benevolent God so the created this crazy vengeful God to make up for there short comings. Oh and of course nothing is their fault, it's Lucifer's fault. Give me a break. And Mason I hate hearing people wiith this the devil's a liar too. The whole concept of there being one devil is the lie.
My story is one of growth, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically.It's a story of maturing and becoming more mature. I think only the mature are liberal thinkers. Frankly, it's extremely immature to oppress other and that's what being conservative is. I was immature at one point, and there comes a time we all have to grow up so that we can really grow.

Our story is the American story and it's one of intense division, poverty, and confinement. It's one of murder, genocide, oppression, unfairness and greed.

The Story is all of us as humans and that is bleak as well. Power is something humans clearly don't handle well and I'm so in agreement something serious needs to happen where many are wiped off the earth. We need a purge like in UE. Yes...I agree we need a powerful group of people to focus on unifying the species and do away with the savagery we are all subjected too.
