Outspoken Opponent

I just found out about Helmuth Hübener and was touched about his life story. It reminded me of the unquestioning attitudes which led to very negative ends, as well as the strength some had in spite of it.

I recall hearing (and later, having it confirmed when reading the secret/sacred manual released by Wikilinks) that The Church says you should "follow the law of the land" When I asked whether that included laws that were unjust, I was informed that it's not 'our' position to get involved in the affairs of other nation states. I was also told that "God is forgiving". Apparently even Hitler can go to to the Telestial Kingdom (so if the Mormon church is true I will probably be in the same place as him!)

Call to the Church

After running into someone who knows my family from church who told me something that made me feel the need to contact them assoonaspossible, I found myself going to the church on Sunday afternoon. The whole thing seemed to go by fairly quickly, which I found surprising; but after back-to-back-to-back 3 hour classes in school one three hour meeting is nothing.

I ended up attending Relief Society, which wasn't really preachy at all. I was pleasantly surprised at how the material, being the "hands of god", was made relevant to day-to-day life. There were quotes passed around which were read aloud, and I got one that seemed fitting (at least the first part) It read "Let our hearts and hands be stretched out in compassion towards others, for everyone is walking his or her own difficult path. As disciples of Jesus Christ, our Master, we are called to support and heal rather than condemn" Overlooking the 'jeebus iz mai master(bator)' part, it immediately reminded me of the Plato quote I happen to have posted by my door: BE KIND FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING A HARD BATTLE. The battle for me was trying not to leer at the hot chick around my age sitting across the room.

I noticed I had some semi-complete posts from way back when, which I will review and possibly put up.

First message in... forever!

It's been a loooong since I've posted anything, and I'd be shocked if anyone even read this...

I've been realllly buzy over the past, um, couple years. I live near the Art Gallery in my so-called metropolitan city, and am living a semi-starving existence.

Not much to say or do about 'religion' hence my hiatus, but I've really gotten into the idea of synchronicity. I don't mean to undermine anything that I have said previously; but I have felt stuff that in my past I may have otherwise discounted due to my experience with religion, that now seems like it may be within the realm of normalcy... or maybe I've gone to toooo many drum circles ;p

When I was in highschool, I had a teacher (who shockingly had PhD in Philosophy, and continued to teach at our level!) who told me to be*a*ware when I started quoting Crowley in class... but the only thing I feel is appropriate to say is

LOVE IS THE LAW. LOVE UNDER WILL.
