Mujtahida: Lol Of course I do. I think we were all taken aback with the moniker, honestly speaking now. We just know not to use such expletives. Very interesting story. So you're a lawyer eh? I see where the coherence in thought and epistles come from, and interesting too. Oh please allow me say, waowaaaawuuu Well mine's from my confirmation name. MaryCollette. Oh, another fun fact, I literally prayed before registering the moniker on Nairaland. |

MizMyColi:Yeah I am. Hahahaha hahahaha @ prayed. I'm not a Catholic but I'm quite familiar with Catholicism. I loved reading Jose Maria Escriva the founder of opus dei and Bishop Fulton Sheen. Do you know these two incredible catholics? Here's a link to Osho's books. You might want to be reading them at your own pace in a jejely fashion https://archive.org/details/BookOfSecretsTheWorldOfTantra 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: Lol @ jejely fashion. You sabi. To be honest, I was a Catholic, but didn't really dig it. I was more a fan of pentecostalism. I've heard of Opus Dei, Jose Maria Escriva, but not the Bishop you speak of. |

MizMyColi:Fulton Sheen is one of the most sweetly expressive spiritual teachers of the Catholic Church. He's late now though. I would have become a Catholic ooo but I can't stand rituals and the adoration they give to Mary. So what would you teach your child or children now that you've gone your own way as far as spiritual matters are concerned. 1 Like |

Mujtahida: Lol I try not to worry my head over those details. I hope that my actions teach them more than my words. I hope to inculcate values that border on respect, kindness, forgiveness, Love, discipline etc. The question of what God to believe in, especially after they are taught CRK will arise, well, till we get to that bridge. I have always trusted the divine for wisdom for the moment. I would try to point them to God within. If it is possible to raise them in a school without any religious teaching, I would. 1 Like 1 Share |

MizMyColi:You have helped me. I have a four months old daughter. I'm always thinking how to teach her. My desire is to teach her to deeply love and value herself in a way that opens her up to value and love others. I desire to teach her to believe in herself. Once again I say you have helped me. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Mujtahida: Lol I actually felt like I was on the stand. Nonetheless, it is good to know you are helped. When I gave to birth to ours. I remember looking at her, I think I cried that day. I was at a loss for how to be a mom. It was a responsibility I totally welcomed, yes. But I was not sure how to go about it. After a bit, I felt comforted, then strengthened. It's over a year now. Well, it's just GOD. |

Mujtahida:Visitors see NL IDs or handles, take them on face value and run forming preconceived ideas about them The problem of having such opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence, is that, it can lead to the guilty, having very negative and supposition imagery about the NL ID or handle owners conjuring up, this consequently then affect the behaviors of the guilty toward the particular NL ID or handle owners. Mujtahida:On the strength of his handle name choice, Sarassin, on a few number of ocassions , in the past has had to put up with the worst of scathing attacks too. I earlier called you Mujta, without even knowing others too endearingly call you so Mujtahida: Christianity is a scourge of the earth a cause of wide and/or great affliction So you craved for the God talking to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Zerubabel etc experience Mujtahida:3But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. 4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man’s hands. 5They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; 6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; 7They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat - Psalm 115:3-7 Psalm 115:3-7 is having heathen idols contrasted with God Mujtahida:Silence is a good answer Mujtahida:He who does not understand silence, will probably not understand words Silence speaks when words can't A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words At times, nothing strengthens a relationship so much as silence does Sometimes I just sit in company of others, and if with God, shut my eyes, say absolutely nothing and just enjoy the silence I've come to learn to take advantage of silence, because sometimes its better than talking as the quieter you become the more you can hear. Mujtahida:SILENT & LISTEN are spelled with the same letters Can you hear your thoughts inside your head or are they silent? The soul listens out to hear from your spirit If the spirit is not tuned into a right wavelength though, then we'll have a signal problem and ultimately become despondent Mujtahida:Why do think Christianity should tune into your soul? Mujtahida:What made you say, you were "born again"? What really is "born again"? How did the "born again" originally come about? Was the "born again" discourse accidental or something already on Jesus' "to do list" to preach about? Its not surprising your "speaking in tongues" felt unnatural to you, as can bet my bottom dollar, it was nothing less than age-long babble anyway Speaking in tongues, is not the only evidence of having the Holy Spirit. Besides speaking in tongues, has its time and place since after the three original and/or primary reasons |

Mujtahida: MizMyColi:Penterascalism is more appropriate Mujtahida:Wow, so you know Bishop Fulton Sheen too Small world indeed it is Bishop Fulton J Sheen is a GOAT. Him usually donned in his black & purple cassock and white dog collar has got swagger and great panache Fortunately God is denomination-agnostic, but yeah you cant watch Bishop Fulton Sheen and not be enthralled When I used to watch TV, whenever he shows up, it was always a pleasure to listen to him For me, the Bishop shares the GOAT podium with other giants like Myles Munroe (i.e. a SME on anything that has to do with the Kingdom & Kingdom things) A very good Bishop Fulton Sheen book, I can recommend, is: Three To Get Married I picked up the books years ago from a second hand bookshop It is from some of the insight I got from reading Bishop Fulton Sheen's "Three To Get Married" book that made me on another Sarassin thread make the below remark and question to MizMyColi: I am baffled as well that anyone would be averse to something so pleasurable and that's why I asked: "Do you know why, the originator of climax, invented it or why the mastermind behind orgasm, created it?" It really would be lovely, you attempt answering that question but MizMyColi, suspicious of motives, as ever, ducked and dived the question 2 Likes |

MuttleyLaff: Yeah. I do that a lot. I smile and laugh without bothering whether I do it right or even overdo it. There are actually people who strive to be I heard it's one of the 48 laws of power. Olorun ma je |

Re: Ducking Out Of Church by MizMyColi(f): 11:06am On Jan 21, 2018 |
MuttleyLaff: Lol Okay, google helps. It's a book by Robert Greene. Of course, not like he talks about smiling and laughing. I for one do not like the book because it seems manipulative. |
Re: Ducking Out Of Church by MuttleyLaff: 1:52pm On Jan 21, 2018 |
MizMyColi:I trawled the internet before asking you because the one I found by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers which happened to have 48 laws had nothing in it about smiling, so I thought I better ask you for the name behind the laws MizMyColi:I found one or two of the laws objectionable due to their selfish mean streak cold and calculated undertones but the rest I majorly agree with and without being aware of the laws have already been doing them |
Re: Ducking Out Of Church by MizMyColi(f): 2:02pm On Jan 21, 2018 |

Here is my confession You see, I all along had thought your handle had to do with being a Macauley, as in being Miss Macauley What a completely uninspired wild guess that has turned out to be Well I didnt pray before choosing MuttleyLaff Muttley one of my fav fictional cartoon characters is known best for his mischievous, wheezing laughter Since I at times, laugh like Muttley, the MuttleyLaff handle, which is a merger of Muttley and the Laugh just seemed appropriate for me to pick I do the Muttley laugh quite often when reading posts |

MuttleyLaff: Looool I just watched a clip of the muttley laugh. Hahahaha. You give the impression you are a nerd. They are the only category of grown men who watch cartoons with so much fervor. I used to have a bestie like that. Someone like me now, the only cartoons I remember are Scooby doo, tom and jerry, pinky and the brain and ermmmm...what's the name of that one again oooo That laugh seemed a lot like a mix of whistling and laughter.

Mujtahida: The Christ Egregore (or thought-form, to keep it simple) is very strong, although I do not accept that it was responsible for the miracles that supposedly characterised early Christianity. I do not doubt that Jesus was a miracle worker, we have historical context for that, but I consider the rest of the so-called Apostolic miracles as little more than pious self-aggrandising accounts. But there is a case to be made that the charismatic revivalist movement you allude to tapped directly into the Christ egregore. For me, what Christians refer to as the Holy Spirit resides in each and every one of us as the Divine spark, in Christianity it is ill-defined as a nebulous God-entity that sometimes descends as a “tongues of fire” but is in fact the seedlings of our higher consciousness as distinct from the presence of the egregore, in my view. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
