EVERYTHING HAPPENING TO EVERYONE ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW IS TO MAKE ONE MORE SPRITUAL.

YOu along with most, still dont understand...

What is happening is intended to make you become more spiritual, to go inward, not outward.

So, youre stil trying to look at outside events independently of the WHOLE PLAN.

YOu cannot do that, or you wont understand whats going on.

"I hit back but they stopped doing much of that a while ago because of the GRACE part."

THATS EXACTLY IT!!

You cannot hit back physically, because doing so is useless.

The same type of event will appear again and until you have no reaction but to see it in a spiritual context, it will keep happening to you until you become...

SPIRITUAL.

Again, try to remember that going spiritual means finding Truth.

And when you find Truth,

you have found the Holy Spirit, or the Voice for God.

What's the mechanism which makes that happen OP?

Dont know exactly what the mechanism is, but stuff will keep happening until you learn the lesson from it and for each of us, the lesson is different.

Sort of like a "School of Life".

And some will never "get it."

Those will not survive long. They will 'run out of energy' to keep fighting and will quit.

If you dont die from an accident, you decide when you want to quit. Even disease doesnt kill you. It just makes you want to quit when youve had enough, and sure enough, God answers your prayer.

In fact, He answers them all, but most cant see the answer.

Ancient Chinese Proverb: "Be careful what you wish for, you must may get it."

The guy who wished for a million dollars, got it. But he forgot to specify how he would come into the million dollars. So he was involved in a huge accident which left him crippled for life. But, guess waht!!? He was awarded a million dollars plus settlement by the insurance company.

Was it worth it? ...be careful what you wish for.

Have you read The Monkey's Paw OP? That scared the life out of me when I was a kid.

And I have a queston thats been bugging me for quite some time now.

I know that GLP has a "Star" rating thingy for each thread.

Who gives out the "Stars" for the thread and is it only 1-5 whole stars, or are there also 1/2 stars used?

On some threads, many of them in fact, I can see slightly part of another whole star, but perhaps only 1/2 of it, or even a 1/4 of it.

NOw I know that there are no "quarter stars" but do the ratings contain 1/2 stars?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Vote. At top. Fractions...

Thx. But where does it say "vote?"

Ive looked at the top of the page but could not find it.

Is it at the header page (page 1?)

It's the 'Rate this Thread' feature OP. Can you see it here -

Ok. I now see the problem. As I was looking for the screenshot that you posted, on my own thread, then I cannot see it.

Apparently one cannot vote on his own thread, but only on others. I looked at another thread and see it now.

HOwever, I still do not see how one is able to vote "1/2 stars" on this system. From 'absolute BS' to 'amazing' which I assume is from 1 to 5.

So, agian I ask, how do you vote 1/2 stars?

The stars showing are the average of the total number of stars given, divided by number of voters. Hence why the total can be in 1/5ths.

For example if 4 people vote and 3 vote 5 stars and 1 votes 4 stars that a total of 19 stars. Divide that by 4 and you get @ 4.8 stars

Ok.

YOu didnt say that the first time.

So its an avg. of the total stars voted in a given thread.

Gotcha.

OK. The Defense rests.

"NO further questons your honor."

I'm stoned man gimme a break.

Thats OK! Its all Spiritual, man!!

Isnt GLP known as the "Stoners Website"?

What's coming?

Get spiritual if you arent already and you will be around to find out!!

Boi,,,Gang gang..

Thats ok!

We welcome all opinions here!

In fact, they are encouraged.

They serve to make on more spritual by providing, what do they call it, oh yes, "the dialectic."

ALWAYS PROVIDE THE DIALECTIC!!


Because only by getting spiritual can one make the "right choice."


The whole Chinese philosopy of life is based on the dialectic, YIN/YANG.


CHOOSE:

YIN/YANG

UP/DOWN

RIGHT/LEFT

FORWARD/BACKWARD

HOT/COLD

DRY/WET

OPEN/CLOSE(D)

RISE/FALL

ANY I MISS?

DING/DONG


DING/DONG?! WTF???

YES! WITH 2 YOU GET EGG WOLL!

You can easily see how the "fault tree" goes and you can easily get lost in the forest of the "maze of variations"

Its like taking 2^ª ª = ∞ possibilities.

No book to look up answers for a correct choice.

Not even Google can help you.

Nope!

Must depend solely on the 'gut' or more accurately the "Spirit" for help with the answer.

The following should use the word "grows" instead of "goes" from the above post.

That is the voice of satan your hearing. You are not God the truth is not within. You want the Holy Spirit, repent, accept christ died for your sins and ask for it. You are a liar preaching new age babylonian luciferian, just like freemasonry. Focus on Christ not you, get it shill.

As Ive previously said, THANK YOU for providing the dialectic.

Y'all come back now, hay!!
