what cult? I don't know about any cult lol

I just discovered the urantia book. I had mixed feelings about it but when it came to the reasoning/logic stuff, it really made sense and resonated with me. I've taken it into consideration and haven't written it off like many have.

Nice, I love Extol. Thanks for the tip!

lol

Hey all. I have this issue where I get depressed, sad, anxious, and just overall very emotional but I can't seem to release it. I hear that crying helps release stuck emotions and clears out toxins, but as soon as I feel like I'm going to cry, it just doesn't happen. Sometimes it is...

This is a true story about something that happened to me and my friend Chris Oliveira about 15 years ago. A true psychopathic cult-of-personality false prophet named Stephen J. Peregrim nearly ruined our faith and even our lives. I once had a website and a message board dedicated to exposing the...

Sorry, but THIS is wrong. Plain and simple. Way to curse millions of people in one fell swoop.

Apparently, I didn't read the rules either. My question, by proxy, forces someone to break the rules if they answer honestly no. So, if I may exempt the new guy for the case of this discussion, awesome. If not, then that's ok too.

I appreciate your reply and concern. Have you noticed that people, even who have responded to this thread, are split on the issue? When I read some of your responses, it brings me fear. Not a fear of God but a fear of punishment. Like an authority figure (parent) coming crashing down to punish...

I have prayed for this many, many times. I may already have it for all I know. Maybe my mental and emotional disorders are blocking me. Or maybe I don't have it and God is waiting for the "right time" to do it. Or maybe when I ask, I don't really believe I will get it or deserve it so it doesn't...
