 I think it's brilliant. This is the first time I'm hearing about something of this sort, but it totally makes sense, and it is a unique way of making sure that no one hangs around there. 

I like to read. Give me a good book anytime and watch me get lost in it for hours and even days at a time. I just love immersing myself into another world for a while. It's really freeing. 

Happiness is spending half an hour sitting with my kids on the floor and coloring with them while they tell me stories or about their day. No feeling compares to that. 

I'm with you totally on that one Kay2. If you think about how even the kings of olden day lived, we are all so much richer than they ever were if you consider the luxuries and experiences that we have in our lives and yet somehow we manage to have more stress than ever before. 

That is so sad. It makes me sad to think that that could happen to me or someone close to me and I can't imagine how I would feel knowing that people just stood there and let it happen. I know for a fact that I would probably be too scared to help anyone getting mugged, but that's only because I'm very small and I probably wouldn't be much help anyway. 

Once upon a time there was a talking spider who lived in a barn. One day the spider was out taking a walk and came across a little girl sobbing by the side of the road. 

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but every few months I watch the Harry Potter movies all over again from the first one to the last. I don't know why but they never get old for me and they are always as exciting as they were when I first watched them.

I think everyone should take into consideration what their body responds to and what it doesn't. When it comes to dieting and weight loss, there is no 'one-diet-fits-all' and each individual will get varied results from the same diet because of all the other factors involved. 

I was sort of into the game when it first came out because of all the hype. I couldn't help myself and I didn't want to feel 'left out' but now that the buzz has died down I've lost interest and now I'm back to playing my all time fave game Civ VI

I think that you just made me a little more confused than I was before I read this post, SirJac. LOL> B\ut seriously, that is food for thought. These are some of the things I've never really given  much thought to until now and it's really interesting to see just how varied the opinions out there are. 

Classic!

I think the one thing that really stood out for me in all those years of Sunday School (besides how scary and full of wrath God was...) was the saying "God is love" That has stayed with me all these years and up to this day, if someone asks me what or who is God, I always answer, God is love. 

My grandfather told me that the majority of people who are 'devout Christians' but are experiencing negative things in their lives it's only because they say one thing and profess a belief explicitly while implicitly believing something else, and so the universe (or God) gives them the essence of what they are giving out in their lives. What do you think about this statement?

I was brought up in a Christian household and in the past decade or so I became familiar with the Law of Attraction. I found that a lot of the principles in these two teachings are very similar. Does anyone else here believe in the law of attraction? What evidence of it working have you seen in your life?

I think you have a point there FireFighter. I must have meant Spirituality. I didn't think there was any difference between spirituality and spiritualism. Thanks for clarifying that for me. 

That sounds like something that I would definitely be interested in and I'm sure my boys would have loved it. Too bad we missed it. I hope they have something similar planned for Halloween. 

I would like to have this explained to me so that I can understand. What is the difference between religion and spiritualism in your opinion?

I always wonder why some people claim to be so religious and yet when they or someone close to them has a genuine religious experience, they choose to ignore it. I mean, make up your mind already. You either believe or you don't. 

The title of this thread really grabbed me and I  just had to come and see just what it's about and reading through the posts here, I admit  I still don't understand but I learnt a few new things...

That is so funny. Thanks for sharing that. This is going to be a really interesting thread, and I will be back to post a few jokes of my own (for the life of me I can't seem to be able to think of one right now...)
