souljah: q. about Hawking

[wilson]

What was the question that you had answered?

 

[wilson]

I mean, what was the question answered by god or jesus?

 

[Chris†opher Paul]

Been there, done that... twice. Congratulations!

Thanks.

Dark? So were you in the waiting room? Was this before or after you child had been born?

Before...we had like 24 hours to wait for it to happen, so I was just chillin in the room. The lights were low since my wife wanted it that way.

Whether the history of Jesus as I understand it, is true. I was just wondering when I got my very direct answer.

Did she see the vision, too, or was she resting? I remember how exhausted my wife already was by the time we got her to the hospital. When you saw it, did you point it out to her?

Also, I hope your experience wasn't like mine where her labor started right after midnight.

She was resting, but I told her right after, and she was very, very calmed by it. This was her first, and she was stressing, so it helped.

Why did you say you ARE accustomed to being ridiculed. Family? Friends? Strangers? ... I know from experience that family issues can be the worst.

 

[wilson]

When your family doesn't agree with you, the feuding never ends. The criticism never ends.

Try telling someone in today's society that you worship Jesus Christ and see how you feel afterward.



But, God told us that this would be the case, and that we would profit from the ridicule and for being outcasts.

 

[wilson]

Oh...

Yeah, well, as you may have guessed, I DON'T do that any more...

But, I USED to be "outcast" in a big, BIG way.

As you say, ANYBODY who seriously talks religion (in Western society) is definitely going to take it right on the chin nowadays.

I myself, just cannot ascribe to my Parents beliefs (strong as they are).

I've been living separately from my own family <not talking to them> for nearly 20 years.

It's THAT big a deal... to THEM.

Such is life.

That truly sucks. They outcast you for not believing?

 

[wilson]

But we all must make our decisions for our own reasons.

And then Live with those decisions.

I appreciate you telling us about your experiences, too.
Anything else of import related to it?

If so, feel free to let us know.

When I referred to being outcast, I meant in terms of the General Population.

Like you said, the majority of people are not (happily) receptive of religous people OR their "message".

So, I was very "outcast" socially speaking.

An outsider all through high school, and for a little while as a young adult.

However, all through my later teen years, and early adult hood, I broke away from it and struck out on my own, and built my own life.

 

[wilson]

The breakup between my parents and myself is a different story.

After leaving the religion (and THEM) I became classified as what they'd call "APOSTATE".

Technically, they're not ALLOWED to speak to me,
Nor do they want to.

In fact, we can't BE in the same room together b/c before long the conversation breaks down into fighting.

Typical type situation for this scenario.

However, there is always the possibility that we'll end up compromising. Once in a GREAT while we get together.

And we are all mellowing a bit.

 

[wilson]

I'm fairly adammant about my own beliefs / approaches to life, even tho' I wouldn't call myself Overly religious. I DO have my reasons for believing and feeling as I do.

And I'll say again that It's good of you to share with us.
