I can't post a reply to your comment for unknown reasons. I posted it in my newest journal instead. Here's my reply. Please make a further comment if you have in my recent journal so that everyone can share the idea. Sorry for your convenience.
[quote=mustanropinnddrivin]They seek solace or a cure..Their hearts are aching. They want to believe in "a caring" creator but they have in their own heart what they would like to "get out of the relationship." Not a "thy will be done attitude and i would be remiss if i did not say that with out that..one may never get God to listen.. my examples are the prophets...and apostles(though theystubbed their toes too) imagine... as in baseball.. the count is 0 n 2.., back to the wall(hee hee back to the dugout) and u must close ur eyes and let someone tell u when and where to swing...[/quote]

Thank you for your posting for this rather difficult theme. It took two or three days to hold some notion for your comment.
One of the churchgoer I met about two years ago told me the intial motive to start coming to church was the death of her mother. She as well as her sister started attending the church with holding the hope of resurrection Bible promised in it.
The death of closed family member may bring a strange feeling.. The dead didn't exist in the visible world anymore but still exists in the heart of living people. The faith - they believe in God even if they don't see God must be playing an important role to make up for the loss of feeling they felt in the event of the death of their close family.
The motive of people whose member is fatal sick is different. They started coming to church in the hope their family member get recovered from the illness. They stopped coming because they realised it an illusion.
The reason people come to church varies in each case. But one certain thing is they come to seek for peace in mind.

Word and language are imperfect tools. What we are driving at by means of language cannot be categorically expressed well, so we are essentially all lying. Before we stop trusting someone, we need to stop overly trusting the role of language first. It's much better and constructive to give up our putting too much trust in language than to lose our mutual friendship. We sometimes might have told someone a lie, but that is just a part out of many true stories we have told each other. Forgive ourselves.

- mustanropinnddrivin:5k x 5 k 25 mil? let me check.. hmmm good guess

I know a guy who can multiply two large numbers as 3746 x 9852 etc. immediately. He said he can see different shapes or waves and colours in each number, then each number merged into another different shape and colour. He can then tell the number. This is not a magic, it's just because he can conceptualise very big numbers as we ordinary people do in relatively small numbers as 1 to 9.

Thanks so much Br Hiro...it was a great day today. I think I was welcomed more than before.

I feel very secured since you took seated beside me. I was able to ask questions after the meeting naturally, too.

I am able to follow the meeting without preparation, or I must say I'm already familiar with the contents of the meeting because I learned a lot about faith before. I thought about it thoroughly so I'm sure I have already fully prepared. Please understand!!

As to translation..since New World translation is virtually a work by one man with four associates. He hadn't gotten a formal Hebrew education. On the other hands, other major translations are the work of more than 100 scholars. One of my very close friend who majored Greek even says there's a lot of misinterpretations in NWT version Greek scripture.

The problem is those misinterpretations made the word of God unnecessarily difficult to understand. I think Bible is much easier than NWT. I feel some expressions are sircumlocution. I make it a rule to refer to 5 or 6 different versions in search of what God really wanted to says.

That's what I think honestly, but that does not mean to undermine the great effort Jehovah's Witnesses have made. I like Witnesses people. Let's try to make progress together. I think we have to keep on changing to a better direction to be a better Christian.

Keep in touch..

kona_yuki_jp:I agree with what you think. I wish you could write something about "omoiyari", it's one thing i like in most Japanese.

Thank you very much for your comment. I really appreciate that! One of the troublesome problems Japanese terms have is they have to express their idea in a few limited sounds. The term 'omoi-yari' could mean 'a heavy spear' although I know it means 'consideration' The same thing might say when I saw the term 'omote-nashi' in TV commercial. It must have meant ' hospitality' but I thought it ' without face' , so scary!! Do you think we have considerations in this real world? We are surrounded by just too many ignorance. Really nasty age indeed, but I find an oasis when I correspond with a friend.

Christian values and the existence of God

Christian values and the existence of God
2008.11.22 23:13

I believe Christian value is very good. Altruism, love and sacrifice. Nobody can't know whether God really exists. God exists or does not exist, which is regardless of whether people believe in God. Do those who believe in God really show altruism, love and sacrifice? I think Christian values and existence of God are not mutually related.
I think there are many people who believe in Christian values but don't believe in God. I think that's natural.

The role of religion
2008.11.22 21:28

Many many years ago I had a chance to attend the church service for about a year.Some one who had been attending the church with his son was eventually dead from cancer in several months.A married couple was attending the church and one day they took their son with probably the last stage of jaundice. Soon after that they stopped coming.
It was much deeper than I thought the feeling people sought for religion.

Mistake
2008.11.22 21:14

We need to make an environment that allows those who made a mistake. Because if mistake is not allowed, someone who made a mistake starts blaming or being attribute to other one who actually hadn't make a mistake.
We often see this in rigid organisation.

The mystery of working hours2008.11.05 21:56We usually believe we can get more money working in 8 hours than in 6 hours. If we can earn $80 in 8 hours we tend to feel it's natural to earn $60 in 6 hours.That's strange.We can get two extra hours for taking a rest or pleasure in case of working just 6 hours. How can we spend this 2 hours in less paid money. We have to spend extra money in this extra hours. We need a compensation for this 2 hours if we had to work only 6 hours instead of 8 hours in a day.We need to get paid $80 x 4/3 or $107 for working 6 hours.

The feeling of falling in love2008.11.03 9:09About more than a year ago I encountered a woman in a local town. I fell in love at first sight. It was actually hard for me to explain the feeling of it in a word. She seemed ideal and perfect to me. I just talked to her a couple of word near her office. Her office and mine happened to be very close and she happened to live near my house though I didn't seek to know exactly where.She started wearing a ring in her left hand sometime after I talked to her. I tried to forget her ignore her though the effort was in vain. All the more I felt affectionate with her the more I tried to forget her.She disappeared from my sight sometime around March this year.It is enigmatic and inexplicable to hold the feeling of falling in love, but it is true that I fall in love with her. I don't know her name, many things on her. It is hard to get over the feeling of it, still I have no way to ease it.

The second ring I bought for pleasure was made in silver 925. 22 bucks. The third ones will be... not sure yet.We had many options in kinds of precious metals recently. Fine steel, silver coated by platinum, silver with 5% plutinum included. But I like a ring made by only silver. I recall Biblical times in Old Testament whenever I see silver rings.

Allowance
2008.11.12 5:26

Our government decides to pay a fixed allowance to each natinal. Ordinary adults get paid $120 and age more than 65 and less than 18 get paid $200, so average household get received $640.
We need money so simply I'm glad that. But what really we need is a steady job, pay increase, a regular bonus, tax cuts. Our government left all these problems and gives us just allowance. I feel sorry but we need to call ourselves a beggar at last.

It's interesting to see from right to left in the US this attitude is unchanging.It's also intersting to observe how Asian's nationality is much more group-oriented.People are willing to deny an individual freedom and have learned from their childhood how to make sacrifices for the sake of society and are wanting a unified social policy to follow. They are reluctant to choose whatever they want. They like to be given, not tend to seek for something better for themselves.

The meaning of civilian control
2008.11.09 15:20

94 member of air self defence force submitted theses to private thesis competition. Total number of people who submitted was 235. A head of air self defence force got the first prize and $300,000. His theme was 'Japan was not an invader nation'. 9 out of ten people would say no to his idea. But it's just ok to have various opinions, however..it is questionable if it were an opinion of current head of armed forces. The meaning of civilian control is it is civilian that decides the use of force. A head of armed forces ought not to express their idea while they are in charge. It is very natural for government to insist the return of retired money from former head of armed forces. He was fired but received the money of $600,000. I'm not sure whether he returns but I hope anyone who is a head of armed forces keep silent, especially when it comes to political opinions. Please make sure that.
Wind from China
2008.11.09 15:00

They say Japan is an industrialised nation. As a matter of fact there are many factories located off the coast. We have been sometimes sufferred from polluted air, especially from the one called 'photochemical smog'. We used to have a severe state in that. Now the contents of smoke is very regulated and said to be safer than those of in many years ago. But still we have smog problems. We started claiming that the polluted air is arriving from newly industrialised coastal China since few years ago. Japanese people are good at attributing to next nations when it comes to something unpleasant. Japanese local government regulates the quantity of smoke emission by the degree of polluted air. If the harmful matterial exceeds the standard, factories have to stop or decrease the production to meet the criteria. Japanese factories increase production again after it was restricted, insisting that because it is owing to Chinese factories to exceed the level of pollution. The gross of polluted material, that matters, no matter who comes up the pollution.

The Real Meaning of 'Gott ist tot'
Jul 16, '07 1:14 AMby Mer for group nietzschean
Until a few days ago I had taken it for granted for a long time that Nietzsche denied the existence of God by declaring Gott ist tot or God is dead. But if God were almighty, he could resurrect himself. If Jesus were God before he arrives on the Earth, he or God experienced human's inevitable destiny through the crucification.
If so, the real meaning of Gott ist tot is different from what I thought. God experienced death because he wanted to give his best creature, that is all humans, an eternal life in Eucharist and wanted to share the same suffering all humans once had to experience, that is death -sharing in other words, Communion.
So real meaning of Gott ist tot is God experienced death through which he was able to give us an eternal life and also share the same suffering. The real meaning of faith was giving and sharing.
God is dead was an ultimate expression of God cares for you.

Another way by which we can understand this statement is by considering the need to re-interpret God in our post-modern times. If we are to utilize the "frozen" God that theologians and philosophers of the past used, then God in fact may be a losing proposition. I look at this Nietzschean statement as a challenge for us to look at God in perspectives different from the traditional way we look at Him/Her.

Given Nietzsche's superman concept I should think that the meaning of Gott ist tot is that with regards to morals, one can no longer turn to God or the church as one's moral compass. It is my belief that Nietzsche was reacting to Darwin's theory of evolution and that man was on his own to create his own ethics and morals to live by and those that were successful at this endeavor were the Supermen and or women and have risen above the rest of mankind that still clung to God and the Church for everything.God, should such a being exist, would not roll over and die just because some man declared him to be dead, but man can disregard God's existence when it comes to creating the rules under which we chose to live.

Soup in noodles
2008.11.06 23:14

17 year ago I had a Filipina girlfriend. She made me noodles one day and she insisted I drink all the soup of noodles because it's healthy.At that time we had no custom to drink up all the soup. We just left it and throw away.Time has passed. Our company asked us at lunch we are supposed to drink it up all the soup because it's insanitary to throw away into a sink.I now drink up all the soup because I don't like to waste nutrition.We are becoming stingy whatever the reason.
Aim

Hideyoshi changed his job 30 times before he started serving in samurai under Nobunaga. His aim was to rule the world, not merely serve in one job.I changed my job 15 or 16 times. My aim is to be a good writer.Still long way ahead.
What they seek for
2008.11.06 22:36

Wives and kids seek for stability, security, and reliability. They seek for manly man, not a sissy boy. A wife with her kids who were told from their hubby or dad who came out that he is gay hid themselves.The guy or gay consulted one famous gay that he wants to see them. No way.We need only one woman in a house. We don't need another woman in the same household.
Illusion of smokers
2008.11.06 22:05

We entered a Spanish restaurant at 13:40. It was non-smoking hours from 11 to 14.5 minutes past 14, two old women started smoking beside us. Of course I left there.You cannot smoke from 11 to 14 doesn't mean you can smoke except 11 to 14, but means you ought not to smoke throughout all business hours but especially you mustn't smoke from 11 to 14 or lunch time.Smokers don't understand the meaning because they smoke.

Moderate is a voter's view
It is only voters that can decide who's moderate by voting itself. Those who elected will be regarded as moderate as a result of the election, which decides the criterion of it, that is who's moderate or not.

Marriage rings2008.11.02 22:11We went out to buy a marriage ring. My size is 17 inches and hers is 7. I had many options but she had scarce or just one option. I didn't like the shape of the ring so we didn't buy it.First rings I bought were made in plutinum, Acquascutum. 500 bucks each. The second ring I bought for pleasure was made in silver 925. 22 bucks. The third ones will be... not sure yet.We had many options in kinds of precious metals recently. Fine steel, silver coated by platinum, silver with 5% plutinum included. But I like a ring made by only silver. I recall Biblical times in Old Testament whenever I see silver rings. Silver is warmer and softer.

Cars
I rode several cars in the past. First car I rode was March, Nissan. The second one I rode was not mine but my my girlfriend's that was Benz. Basically she rode it but sometimes I did.The third one was Cultus, Suzuki. This was the only car that I operated the gear in manual shift. I liked this car most. This car was arranged exclusively for my job by my company those days. I appreciated that much.The fouth one was Pulsar, Nissan. I had this car colided several times and had engine trouble after I sent it to a regular car inspection. I had this car scraped after riding only several years.Now the fifth one I ride is Tiida, Nissan.I normaly use neither a car nor a bicycle. On foot basically.I have a gold lisence holder, which means 'excellent'.

Mrs Marquise de Sade2008.11.03 11:04This is a play written by Mishima.Mishima once wrote he can describe more things better in plays rather than in novels.Jean Genet started writing novels first then later he wrote plays.Shakespeare was a playwright.I just once tried writing a play. Just once.This play was performed just once in some local theatre. I noticed after the play was performed. I thought I went to see the play if I noticed it before.Some popular drama has been performed two or three times in a day and lasts for six months, would be watched by many. Mrs Marquise de Sade is not watched by many but few, but the few would go to see the theatre without fail.

The feeling of falling in love2008.11.03 9:09About more than a year ago I encountered a woman in a local town. I fell in love at first sight. It was actually hard for me to explain the feeling of it in a word. She seemed ideal and perfect to me. I just talked to her a couple of word near her office. Her office and mine happened to be very close and she happened to live near my house though I didn't seek to know exactly where.She started wearing a ring in her left hand sometime after I talked to her. I tried to forget her ignore her though the effort was in vain. All the more I felt affectionate with her the more I tried to forget her.She disappeared from my sight sometime around March this year.It is enigmatic and inexplicable to hold the feeling of falling in love, but it is true that I fall in love with her. I don't know her name, many things on her. It is hard to get over the feeling of it, still I have no way to ease it.

The mystery of working hours2008.11.05 21:56We usually believe we can get more money working in 8 hours than in 6 hours. If we can earn $80 in 8 hours we tend to feel it's natural to earn $60 in 6 hours.That's strange.We can get two extra hours for taking a rest or pleasure in case of working just 6 hours. How can we spend this 2 hours in less paid money. We have to spend extra money in this extra hours. We need a compensation for this 2 hours if we had to work only 6 hours instead of 8 hours in a day.We need to get paid $80 x 4/3 or $107 for working 6 hours. We sell time and buy money in working hours. We sell money and buy time in pleasure hours.

China is not simply a country, but a continent just the same as Europe, America. We never understand that.

Voting is a right, not an obligation. It ought to be completely free whether we exercise this right or not. If we were gaoled for not voting, this is nothing but a persecution. I cannot go to vote even if I want to!
