When Did you Last See People Throwing Their Life Savings into the Streets?
Never I confidently Assume!
Simply cause Money continues to be of great value and Therefore People Tend to hold onto it as best as they can.
What Then about Religion?
Does it has any value in your Eyes?
My Ex Partner Died age 67 in early april this Year and I still feel that sense of loss and emptiness now that she is no longer alive.
And I now that nothing in my life can give me hope of seeing her again except Faith in Jesus Christ.
I Know from my personal study of the Bible That he demonstrated by means of resurrecting Lazarus That He Has The Power To bring our loved ones back to life.
And therefore Faith in him is virtually priceless and precious.
Faith in Jesus Is of immense value To those of Us Grieving over the deaths of our Loved ones, and Also to those of Us dealing with various debilitating Illnesses.
The Bible Shows That Jesus Also Has The Power To Cure People Of All Illnesses.
And If We Are Suffering from Want of Various Kinds Then Jesus Also showed by means Of Feeding the 5.000 people That He Can Also provide for our Daily Needs.
Therefore Jesus Is Precious and for Those Of Us That See Value In Him
We Are in possession Of Something of Immense Value.
But Not All of Course View Jesus In That Way.
Many Disregard Faith in Him as Valueless and A waste of Time.
But Is It?
What Do You Think?
Also Do You Believe That Religion Can Be Distorted and Therefore If Fed To The Public In The Wrong Way Can Cause Many To Go Astray Spiritually?
please Share your Thoughts and Experiences.
Thanks.

I must have misread something you posted, Trevor , about losing someone. and being broken-hearted.

If you feel got-at, blame a previous male poster, who was at pains to tell us as often as possible that he loved older women, with a distinct leer in his words. He also responded at once to any thread with a hint of sex mentioned in it, and propositioned a few (female) members by private message.

He has now departed (helped a little, I suspect, by Gransnet management) but has left behind him a lot of distrust of male posters who suddenly have a vocal presence on the forum and share their innermost thoughts with us strangers.

"Is Faith in Jesus important to you?"

I am not superstitious, so no, of course not.

My faith in the collective wisdom of GNetters to detect b******t is very important to me.

My belief that it is important to tread gently on others' feelings is paramount.

Elegran,
I'm sorry you and fellow posters experienced that kind of Thing.
It still hurt me deeply at being made to feel uncomfortable I must say.
And I seriously Thought about whether I should post in here today after yesterday's horrible experience?
But because I know that my intentions were good and I didn't set out to play games or whatever, I thought why should I let the experience put me off posting again?
If I broke any rules I feel sure the moderators would have stepped in and taken appropriate action.
As for Me sharing my InnerMost thoughts?
Well, I don't think I went beyond what Is acceptable and decent
and for those that chose to view My thoughts with suspicion?
Well, That was Their Choice Not Mine.
Also Remember That No One Is Perfect Gran...Yes Even Pensioners Make Mistakes.
And Since That Is a fact of Life
it would be unreasonable and unfair to condemn a person young or not every time they put a foot wrong.
and it is better sometimes to give a fellow human the benefit of the doubt
rather than going in with blazing tongues
only to find that the target was innocent.
anyway never mind.
Take care Gran
regards
Trevor

I agree Mishap
but it's not always so easy especially when everyone Is imperfect and prone to Misuse our Tongues against Others.

Soutra - I didn't have children so, no grandchildren, are you suggesting that I too shouldn't be posting on this site? From his posts I haven't thought that Trevor47 has ulterior motives. Yes he is younger than most of us but as he has had happy relationships with older women perhaps he just feels more comfortable talking to older people than people his own age. Why jump to conclusions that he is seeking a soulmate?
