 I like the Hebrew name too. I liked the article because it was straight forward. I read it in the old site. I like this sight I love the home page.My story is one of growth, maturity, and spiritual awareness. I had good parents for the most part and a well rounded life. I've always reached out to the underdog which was my form of rebellion. I'm pretty sure I was born Gnostic. Our story was the American story. Violent, aggressive and diabolical. Not a very good story if you ask me. Kind of greedy, selfish and self-gratifying. Kind of arrogant and most counties don't like us because of it. Liar's deceivers. They use us like we don't matter. I'm with the black lives matter movement but I think all of us need to be holding up signs that say life matters period so stop killing us. Stop the food industry from killing us, stop the pharmaceutical companies from poisoning us, stop the politicians from lying to us and feeding us a bunch of false info to get us to be more compliant. The story is humanity. Our continued inhumane way of dealing with each other makes us fall short of the mark for progression. I don't think we should be allowed to carry our poison to other worlds. Humans should be forced to remain right here until they figure out how to behave more humanly and treat each other with decency and respect. |

 To start I like Yahushua I'm Jewish and I like calling the Messiah by that name.My story had been one of personal growth in all aspects of life. I have always felt the way of the Gnostic and I am very glad I found all of you. I am serious about my faith and this was something my fiance could not appreciate so we are no longer seeing each other. I am confident the lord will send the right mate to me and I will not be settling for anyone who does not share my faith. Our story is cultural to me. I equated it to being the Jewish story and I think many of us are coming away from the ways of old and embracing a more inclusive, progressive view on life. The story is the human story and unfortunately I also believe that only a few of us are mentally, spiritually, and morally existing in a progressing state. I believe in the 95/5 scenario I think it is evident. |

Like this site and the forum. I like the Hebrew name for the Messiah as well. My story has been one of ups and downs and ins and outs. I'm up oh something and then I'm down. I'm out of something and then I'm in. I can't believe I was ever a Republican because that party is full of insane people and I am ashamed. Obama was squeaky clean when he entered the race. Not one of the republicans running for the presidency was clean. All of them have dirt in their closets. They are not decent people and I just could not continue being a part of that. They are all doing horrible in their states. Greed motivates them and to many people are suffering for it. Too me this speaks volumes. Republicans are not for the people they are for themselves. Our story is the American story and it's horrible as many have already said. I agree The story is the story of humanity and I also agree that it is a 95/5 scenario and that is very sad. I'm glad I'm part of the five and I finally found my home. |

I like this Mason. I like the smileys and I think it is easy to figure out. Thumbs up girlfriend.  Now...I also like his Hebrew name so that's the name I vote for. My story is pretty typical I think for a White blue eyed blond woman. I had an easy life always got what I wanted I think but life has a funny way of teaching you that what you think you want isn't really what you want at all. Mason, Rod and I are also divorcing. We are both remaining with the group as we are both Gnostic's and we will handle this as peacefully as you and Michael are doing. People grow apart and that is what happened to us. We married because it was expected especially when I became pregnant. Rod had been reintroduced to a woman he knew around the time he was seeing me and she is also Gnostic. He clearly cares for her and me, I was pregnant so he did the right thing. Being Gnostic has taught us to be honest with ourselves as well as our God and he has admitted he was in love with this woman. She is divorced, her kids are grown and so are ours. So, we will both enter a new phase in life as I grew to love Rod but was never madly in love with him. Our faith has taught us to be true and honest with ourselves and I've been looking at one of the black fellows who has come to our last two meetings. I think his name is David. I just want to be happy and he seems so nice. We are all being called to be with the one we are supposed to be with I think and my story is one of realization and honesty. Our story is those of us living in the United States. As a country we fall short on so many levels and I'm glad I am separating from the group and choosing to behave better and more honorable. The story is the human story and I think it boils down to the 95/5 plain and simple. I mean look at all the foolishness around Donald Trump. The fact that he's gotten this far demonstrates how ignorant to many Americans are. Those who support him fail to give good reason for supporting him and I wouldn't be surprised if they are paid to say they support him. But the deception is just so uncivilized. It's sad to say the least. |

 First off I'm glad to hear Mason, Mike, Rod and Barb are handling their separations so maturely. I think it sets an example for us all.I like the name Yahushua like everyone else  The article was once again very deep. I mean religion is really messing us up as a species and some people will bite your head off for saying that but look at how it's used to justify gruesome murders, genocide, and discrimination. They want to scream and the Obama administration for upholding civil rights with this bathroom thing. They want to be able to discriminate and they lean on religion to justify treating people unjustly. To me religion is an excuse to treat people hatefully so it can't possibly be something of God because God is love. My story starts of troubling, sad, and lonely. It left me making bad choices with no guidance. But I was fortunate enough to keep reaching out until my family responded. Justin, thank you because you embraced me first. Rebecca kept my grandparents away telling them untrue things about me but you wouldn't turn me away. As soon as you know who I was you embraced me. She hated me so much she almost killed you for embracing me. My daughters mother was a very bad person in my life and I'm so glad I'm not involved with her anymore. She looks like hell and has taken up with some biker guy. She hardly wants to see the girls and that's fine they love Val and she loves them. I'm in a good place in every area of my life, finally. Our story to me is the American story as well and with police killing unarmed American citizens and getting away with it because those citizens are African American. It's shameful and horrifying. Frankly I don't know how they sleep at night. Frankly alot of people should have trouble sleeping at night in this country. The story the human story and wow it's sad. We have too many tyrants in this species and they don't have a problem taking life. We have to many ruthless wealthy people in thie species. We are a species that cares to much about money instead of what we should care about and that's our species. |

Well I like the site, the home page is nice. The forum seems nice too. I like the smileys and I can push preview and see what I'm doing including if the color is right. I'll go with the Hebrew name for Jesus too. My story has been pretty decent. I have the best father, semi okay mother. Had a crazy step mother and now I have a really cool step mother and awesome siblings. I think I'm fortunate to have found the appropriate faith at a young age some I'm confident my future is bright. Actually I felt like our story was our family story and it's been in and out and up and down from as far back as I can remember. I worried about my dad but now I'm confident he's in the best hands with mother Ebony. The story I felt was the American story and it's one of Greed and indifference. I feel sorry for people who are poor because life is scary for them like Bernie Sanders says. They pay more for less, the get the worse of everything. They get preyed on, victimized like that mess in Flint, Michigan. The American story is a tragic story, tragic for blacks and shameful for whites. |
