Hi Biglin, My mistake, the post about reicarnation was evidently meant for Iamjumbo, please accept my apology. i do sort of believe in karma. the problem with karma, however, is that it doesn't act quick enough. i don't want to wait decades for a fool that screws me over to get his. that's why i handle it myself The thought that karma, pertaining to past lives is wishful thinking. To presume that something happens because of a past life and the need to learn from it is baloney. People don't readily recall or remember 'past lives' so its bull crap for a 'learning' experience. To rely on something like hypnosis which often provokes false memories is extremely unreliable. Infants and very young children that are murdered are not murdered due to sins of a past life. They aren't reaping bad 'karma' from past deeds. That much is very clear. People may reap what they sow, but it is in the here and now. Not from a past life that can't be easily recalled and thus easily learned from. That should be obvious.

Not even close, it may be "your" truth...that does not make it fact. Sorry Jumbo.... no ma'am. there is no "your" truth, or "my" truth. the truth is absolute and immutable As we are all here to receive spiritual enlightenment, we are just in the process of receiving it and with each lesson that we learn we naturally receive more of God's truth and one day nothing will be hidden from us. That is when we reach a stage of knowingness..

You are playing God by taking the matter into your own hands, and as far as I am concerned, that is asking for trouble. no ma'am. i'm a firm believer in following the golden rule. i only do unto others as they would have me to do unto them

while some patience may be admirable, choosing to sit around and wait for something to happen will ALWAYS lead to a problem

People are often under the illusion that they can control everything.

People are often under the illusion that they can control everything. i always try to be in control of everything. if something happens to stall the advance, i try to ensure an orderly retreat. i try to plan for every possible contingency

I feel that people who try to control everything are perhaps in a way, defending themselves against their own inner vulnerabilities in the belief that if they are not in total control they risk exposing themselves. Just a thought.

I've seem him delete other members posts just because he didn't like their opinion. There was nothing wrong the posts. I didn't stick around long after that and deleted my account. I've since been told by at least 3 people that he is a major control freak. Talk about micro managing! lol

hmm... I'm wondering who that can be, BLC? I've come across someone like that too. Well a couple like that in fact.
It's an insecurity on their part. Insecure and controlling. What a combination. Yep, I would run like hell from such a place too!

If you don't like a message board you are always free to leave.

Talk about micro managing! lol of course, i am just the opposite. i've been a global mod on several forums in the past ten years, and you can count the number of posts that i've edited or deleted on your fingers. on crime debate, a clown chose to start a flame war with me, and i didn't delete a single post that he made. as i recall, i think that i've deleted three posts on gibby's, all of them by maxx, ONLY because they were personal pictures of somebody he had no right posting. otherwise, it pretty well doesn't matter what is said. i won't delete it unless it is too bad for me, and that's a hell of a high bar

I should say, they were not my posts that were deleted but another, long time member there. I couldn't believe they would just up and delete posts like that. I think it was just a few days after that, that I just figured the site wasn't worth the time. Why bother if they just wantonly delete posts 'because they can'.

Is it possible that the admin of the forum didn't delete the posts, but placed them under a different category?

I hate it when posts are deleted. Especially as there is no real reason to. Is the truth wrong? I don't get it.
I see some of my posts are gone from this thread too.

As Apple had deleted her account I didn't see any point in letting those particular posts stay when they no longer applied to the situation.
But anyone who knows me knows I'm about the most laid-back and libertarian board owner there is and I hate having to edit or delete posts.
Hopefully it will be a long time before it happens again!
