| just a bunch of stupid stuff really. but it did happen. he said i could come back if i repented. i said "repent from what?" honestly, it was lame and it was a big mistake on their part. it could've really hurt a more sensitive or insecure person very badly. lucky for me, it only hurt pretty bad. i know what is in my heart and i trust it, which helps keep me very resilient.
ain't it funny tho? never been kicked out of a bar, just a church.

Do you know what "auras" are? Could it have been that? I can explain it if not.

| well Lazyk
look into auras that is a good suggestion. I know in alchemy green aura is needed to progress not sute about other colors meanings.
hope you return to the thread and update us.
indiff
ok specifics don't matter. I got enough info to understand. hope you find a group you feel comfortable with. I know freemasons have Eastern Stars and other women only gatherings.
Romans 14:14 "nothing is unclean of itself and it is only unclean to the one (dummy) who thinks it unclean"
2 Corith 5:7 "nothing is to be refused as long as it is partaken of with thanksgiving"
so no need to repent unless you think it wrong and then did it. sounds like you don't think it was wrong. good cause little or nothing is wrong in my book.

| kitty...
the colors you might have seen,
might have been insight to the herriditory lines of the
pastors liniage...
ie we all are evolveing from the origional
races of color..red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo.
the orange and green prety much got wiped out by the others.
and most all were slightly upsteped by the later violet race.
the white race coming from the blue.
lil....
hey i was 86ed from DeMolay....much time ago!
seek you #1 the kingdom of YOUR GOD...
and don't swet the rest...
God loves us all,and whether we pick
the "rite" one or not isn't all that important now...
just be open to Him and He will be with you.
if the bible doesn't suit you
the 5th epocraful revilation
would be what you might get off on.

| Got Shanghaied into easter services last year.....entered through the emergency exit setting off the fire alarms (now THERE is a sign) everyone laughed...been a long time sense I had been there. Then the preacher told of us the crucifixion and how Jesus died of a MASSIVE CORONARY HEART ATTACK?!?!?!?!?! (me and my brother looked at each other like...WHAT THE HELL???)...it only added to the wierdness when the pastor expected everyone...about 200 people... to "drink the blood of Christ" out of the same cup......eeeewwwww
Ain't been back since.....right there with you lildif!

FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
Yeah, I got another little story. I went to a Pentacostal church last time, they believe in being embodied by the holy spirit. Well, that is a BIG HOAX!!!!! The thing where they have you close your eyes and the pastor touches your forehead. And then people fall, lie on the ground and feel dizzy for a minute.
Try this experiment at home, you can even have a kid help. My 10 year old daughter helped me.
Stand with your are arms and hands up in the air. Take some fast deep breaths for a minute or so, kinda like they do when they are emotionally wrapped up in religious ferver at church. I'm sure you have seen those "miracle healer pastors" before, usually Pentacostal or evangelical. Stand in front of a bed or couch and with your hands in the air. Close your eyes and have someone push with one finger on your forehead. See what happens. I would like to hear any feedback.

| tat...I find I get the same effect with a bottle of wine or two. And it tastes better.
MY last experience at church happened when I was ten, and incidentally started me on my pagan path. Basically, in Bible Study, I began asking questions the priest couldn't answer. Questions like, "But, if God is everywhere, why do we need to go to church to talk to Him?"
And another doozy: "Okay, so when Adam and Eve ate the apple, they didn't die (right away), and they knew the difference between Good and Evil? Seems like God lied and the Serpent (which in many cultures is a symbol of wisdom) told the truth."
Yeah. THAT one went over well.
Let's just say several phone calls to my parents and being physically removed from Bible Study later, I was a bit disillusioned on the subject of organized religion.

hss great advise 'God' does not care if you get it 'right'. if your heart/intent is good is all that matters.
the apocrypha book 5 ya say? I will check it out.
not everybody knows DeMolay is the freemasons/illuminati.
