ARSONIST FOR THE FIRE OF GOD

AS WITH THEM, THE SAME WITH ME.
I HAVE NEVER FOUND IT NECESSARY TO DEDICATE MYSELF TO A PARTICULAR SERVICE SUCH AS THIS, NOT TO DEGRADE THOSE OF YOU WHO DO, IT IS SIMPLY THAT I ALSO DO NOT WISH TO COMMIT TO A PAID LIVEJOURNAL ACCOUNT.
I AM TRULY SORRY IF I HAVE FRIGHTENED ANYONE, OR COME ACROSS AS MENTALLY ILL AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY ANATOMICAL EXTREMITY (SINGULAR, AT LEAST FOR ME) IS NOT LACKING.
I TOO KNOW THE USER POLUOWAU THROUGH THE USER HIPTIP

FAIRWELL AND GOODNIGHT

Yeah, getting an acount is actually pretty hard unless you wanna pay for it (which i don't). I'd rather start my own journal on my own website. Sarah knows who I am cuz I always write HipTip on my posts.

Actually, I am anonymous because I am unable to create an account. Sarah knows who I am, and my name is in the subject.

wow...

i feel the need to comment not on the post, but on the fact that there are so many anonymous comment responses.
this is re-diculous,
a) because it keeps happening, and
2) because it shows a lack of a certain anatomical extremity(ies) to have an opinion about a person or something that they have shared, and then not tell them who you are or at least have a user name to stand by.
it kind of freaks girls out...if you are all boys... it lends itself to the "stalker" catigory of obsession and/or mental illness.
all im saying with this is be a man! even if you are a girl. if you are going to say something then have the maturity to stand by it with your name attached.

I think the only way to find your island is to jump on your raft and start paddling. Right now, you're paddling through the swamp of progress... AKA school. It may seem slow and treacherous but ultimately you are persuing a goal. You cannot change the will of God, therefore you can only continue your persuit in the direction He has given you. You shall reach your island, wether it is a direct route or a 40 year journey through the desert remains to be seen. All you(we) can do is keep paddling...

ARSONIST FOR THE FIRE OF GOD
AWESOMEZZ
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THE MEANING OF APOLOGETICS. SOMEHOW I FOOLISHLY THOUGHT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH BEING SORRY.
AS FOR YOUR POST, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT YOUR OWN WORDS, YOU OBVIOUSLY CHOSE TO PUT THAT QUOTE UP FOR A REASON. I’M SURE EVEN YOU WOULD SAY THAT YOU POSTED IT FOR THE MEANING YOU FELT IT HAD IN YOUR LIFE CURRENTLY. SO EVEN THOUGH THOSE WEREN’T YOUR WORDS, I STILL BELIEVE IN WHAT I SAID ABOUT YOU PREVIOUSLY. I ONLY HOPE THAT I WAS EVEN REMOTELY CORRECT ABOUT WHAT I SAID, OR AT LEAST GOT YOU THINKING ABOUT ASPECTS OF YOURSELF THAT YOU HADN’T CONSIDERED ALREADY.
I KNOW YOU’RE USED TO HEARING EVERYTHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, WHILE THEY KNOW LITTLE TO NOTHING ABOUT YOU. I REALIZE THE IRONY IN AN ANONYMOUS PERSON WHOM YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TELLING YOU ALL THESE OPINIONS ABOUT YOURSELF. I HOPE THAT I DO NOT FRIGHTEN YOU, AND I WISH YOU THE MOST OF COMFORT.
NOW ABOUT MYSELF. TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, IN MY OPINION, I DO NOT KNOW IF ALTOIDS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE
HOPE YOUR FINALS GO WELL
FAIRWELL AND GOODNIGHT

Re: ARSONIST FOR THE FIRE OF GOD

Arsonist,
You are a very intriguing person and I thank you for your encouragement and insight. I apologize for not responding sooner to your previous question. Apologetics is the discipline that deals with a rational defense of the Christian faith. *greek - (apologia)- to give reason or defense.
"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates
As for my issue with undiscovered islands; that quote came from Ned Herrmann's book, The Creative Brain. The concept is based on his psychological theory of 'Islands of Brilliance.'
I apologize once again for not siting my sources. Here is a link explaining the concept: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~caveman/Creative/index2.html
I was fairly tired when I posted the quote...but I am more than happy to explain my interest in it.
You seem like a very perceptive person...and I will admit I am curious as to your sources. Care to share?
