I'm revisiting the past and bringing you to the present....the first visit is to my experience with the discipleship and recruitment in the International Churches of Christ (ICC), from my personal viewpoint. On July 2001, I began to study the bible. Throughout my life, I did learn somehow that God does listen to me. Now, I had to learn to listen to him. I had to learn to have an intimate relationship with God. I may actively seek to not engage in sin, but I really had to repent (change). Then, I learned about cults, and mind control when I checked out www.reveal.org. It’s my main source of personal knowledge about the controversial history of the church that I belonged to for about four months. I wasn't aware of this during the time I joined the church, but by the grace of God I found information to release me from this joy, I thought I had!
When I joined the church, I had a feeling of inadequacy that I couldn’t understand. My decisions were not valid to anyone or me in my imaginary world. I felt guilty and hurt, because I was thinking that I was not with God. I felt like I needed permission to do things, I was constantly reminded of how important it was to seek advice. I was forced to think differently in almost everyway. I was deceived to think that my good intentions were worthless. Was I being rebellious, and not with God? I was told that I was too independent and self-reliant, which are not sins. What I am doing now with my feelings of doubts is satanic, according to an ICC member. I’m battling against God.
When you are being brainwashed, you don’t even realize it. I was told that I was thoughtless, when I was trying to do my own research. In reality, what I want is to be right with God, I believe there is one. This woman believes that she has it all with her Bible, and that I’m not going to make it to heaven. “Making it to heaven requires making disciples” she stated. At the time, I didn't disagree with that statement, only with the procedure. She doesn’t understand that what she is doing, and therefore cannot really listen with an open heart. With the excuse that Satan is attacking God’s church, many of the members fail to realize or verify any of the criticism that the church receives.
Right now, I feel a freedom from religion. I feel strong spiritually, sad with a mixed happiness, grateful indeed for the experience that I did go through. This is me trying to get myself back, after I tried hard dying to myself. The phrase “dying to self” is commonly used in the ICC, so therefore I tried to change even in areas I did not need to. This is hard to understand, because the women I met were focused on serving God. I was blinded by an obscure faith in the Bible, interpreted a certain way. Bible study with these women is full of deceit by a predetermined study, guided by the thoughts of one man, who guides them thinking that they are the only people with great hearts, because they belong to the "kingdom" (terms will be later explained). They are the only people that are saved, and the rest are in darkness.
To be continued! :)
El propósito de este lugar es tratar de visitar el pasado y traerte al presente. La primera visita es al lugar de la dedicación de discipular y el reclutamiento en la Iglesia Internacional de Cristo (refirida aqui como ICC) desde mi punto de vista. En julio del 2001, comencé a estudiar la Biblia. A través de mi vida, aprendí de alguna manera que Dios me escuchaba. Ahora, tuve que aprender escucharlo a él. Tuve que aprender tener un lazo íntimo con Dios. Puedo intentar activamente a pecar, pero realmente tenía que arrepentírteme (cambiar). Entonces, aprendí sobre cultos, y control de la mente cuando visite a www.reveal.org. Es principalmente mi fuente del conocimiento personal sobre la historia polémica de la iglesia que pertenecí por a cerca de cuatro meses.
Cuando me hice miembra la iglesia, tenía una sensación de insuficiencia que no podía entender. Mis decisiones eran inválidas en mi mundo imaginario para cualquier persona y para mí. Me sentía culpable y lastimada, porque pensaba que no estaba con Dios. Me sentía como que si necesitaba permiso de hacer mis cosas, yo fui recordada constantemente la importancia de buscar consejo. Me forzaron pensar diferentemente en casi toda maneras. Me engañaron para pensar que mis buenas intenciones no tenían valor. ¿Sería que yo era rebelde, y no estaba con Dios? Me dijeron que era demasiado independiente, que no es pecado. Lo que estoy haciendo con mis dudas es satánico, según un miembro de la ICC, estoy actualmente luchando contra Dios.
Cuando le están lavando el cerebro a uno, uno no se da cuenta. Me dijeron que era insensata, cuando intentaba hacer mi propia investigación. En la realidad, lo qué deseo es estar correcta con Dios, yo creo que hay uno. Esta mujer cree que ella lo tiene todo con su Biblia, y que yo que no voy a llegar al cielo. "Llegar al cielo requiere hacer discípulos" ella indicó. Yo no tengo nada en contra de esa declaración, solamente con el procedimiento. Ella no se da cuenta de lo qué ella está haciendo, y por lo tanto no puede realmente para escuchar con un corazón abierto.
Ahora, siento una libertad dentro de mí. Me siento fuerte espiritualmente y triste, con una felicidad mezclada con agradecimiento de hecho por la experiencia cual pasé. Estoy agradecida de que puedo cambiar el proceso de la reforma del pensamiento que tuve. Ésta soy yo intentando conseguirme de nuevo, después de que yo intente difícilmente morir a mí. Intenté cambiar incluso en áreas que no necesité. Esto es duro de entender, porque las mujeres que conocí son servidoras a Dios. Yo me cegué con una fe increíble en la Biblia, interpretada de cierta manera.
El estudio de la Biblia con estas mujeres es llena de engaño por un estudio predeterminado, dirigido por los pensamientos de un hombre. El los dirige para que piensen que son la única gente con los grandes corazones, porque pertenecen al "reino" (los términos serán explicados más adelante). Son la única gente que se salva, y el resto está en oscuridad.

The dollar cannot stretch more
Okay, so this year I didn't get a raise, and my bills just got higher...
My outflow in cash this year started way higher than my income...
My credit limit was gettting maxed out...
I couln't handle it no more..
However, I am in the belief that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
and yes, I stopped paying one of the credit card given to me in an all caps name that looks like mine
I sent a letter to BoA last month, asking them by the Fair Debt Collections Act, I have the right to verify the loan, and they need to stop collections, until these requirements are met…
They need to send me per Mary croft, this is one of my sources….:
1. validation of the debt (the actual accounting);
2. verification of their claim against me (a sworn affidavit or even just a signed invoice); and,
3. a copy of the contract binding both parties.
So they wrote back stating that my request is outside of the guidelines of the Fair Credit Billing Act, and totally ignored the Fair Debt Collections Act, went ahead to threaten me that they would send me a judgment, and asked me to make my minimum payment by June 23, 2009, or call their Customer service dept.
So I wrote them a letter that their response was frivolous and without merit, and that they must respond to my initial request according to the Fair Debt Collections Act.

Swine flu scare!
My significant other didn't want to send our son to school today because he lacks vaccines. I'm like okay, whatever. He thinks that I'm crazy, extreme. What I know, and I tell anyone is that the media tells a bunch of lies anyway. I don't think that the situation is a big deal, until it smacks me in the face. Okay, maybe I have not been really paying attention. I pay attention to the people around me, my friends, my family. Those are the things, people, and situations that to me are a big deal. How many people do you know have diabetes, heart problems, attention deficit disorder, asthma, and, they are not contagious, they are all autoimmune disorders, but yet everyone has them right! Is the food we eat, okay!!
I don't care for the swine flu for that same reason! Really...I don't care...I'll take my usual precautions eat homemade food as much as possible, wash my hands, etc. I made the reality around me, that what the law of attraction says, that you make the reality around you, and my reality is that people need to start thinking and making common sense. I think I'll go nuts in my huge world, before I start listening to the media again.
I think that the swine flue is a genetically engineered lab created disease, to make people submit to vaccinations. That way big pharma makes $$$, and the top at the few keep creating their dumb, beaf, and blind population with the their neurotoxin filled vaccines.
My 2 cents!

Armando Torres Gonzalez
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My significant other father is probably dead. He said that while he was incarcerated, he received the news that his mother had a stroke. He was never told what happened with his father.
His father was a cuatro player. He recounts vivid memories of his father trying to teach him how to play the cuatro.
He also says his father was born January 6, but he doesn't know the year.
He states that he was from either Ponce or Utuado.
I think is sad that he doesn't know where they buried him, if he died. When did he die? Where is his body, so he can pay him respects....
How do I go about finding this man? Where do I start? Any suggestions

My e-bay adventure
As you may or may not know, everyone is trying to make money
I'm going to help whoever wants help with my things that are cluttering my life, but have some value, and giving it away for less money...
So I posted an item on e-bay...If you know anyone intereseted please forward!
This is my description for the audiobook!
On 2004, I had my first born child. I had a normal pregnancy until I had my 3rd ultrasound where it showed oligohydromanus (low-amnio fluid). I wish I knew than, I had choices. I could have drank more water, I could have asked more questions, I could have demanded more information.
I was induced and at the time, I didn't know that I could choose to stand up, that I could choose to walk around, that hospital policy is not meant to protect me, but to protect the hospital.
Lynn Griesemer gives you secrets to a successful birth, and gives you the right resources to get more information, to use and prepare for a successful birth. I know because this is one of the audiobooks that I used to prepare for my successful VBAC (vaginal birth after ce-searan).
If you are preparing for a childbirth, this is a must have!
The message on the CD is invaluable.
You can visit the website of the original seller of the CD.
http://www.unassistedhomebirth.com/YBYB.html
The price you will get it for is a bargain!

The new stimulus plan! A forward that I received....
"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:
"Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
"A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
"Q. Where will the government get this money?
"A. From taxpayers.
"Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
"A. Only a smidgen.
"Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
"A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
"Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
"A. Shut up."
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, Chile and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan
And none of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes (men or women) , beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
