Friends,
When I was 7 years old, I was in downtown Cincinati with my father. We were standng in front of Woolworth's dept. store. There were people beng beaten by police and jeered by white people because they wanted to eat at the lunch counter there. I asked my father to explain this injustice to me. He said, "Lou, the owners of the store do not want black people to eat at the lunch counter because the white people do not want them to allow black people at the counter. The owners say tht they own the store and therfore they can kick out the black people because the white people do not want them there."
Even as a small child, I felt the lash of descrimination along with those corageous black people that wanted equality. I remember the manager comming out and yelling, "this store is for whites, you (expletive) go to another resturant that serves blacks." "We have rights", yelled out the black people.
Just as they chanted that, the police rained in blows with clubs and arrested them. The polce were all white people.
It took years of litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that owners of any establishment could not bar anyone for wanting equal rights. Segregation was over in 1954.
There are still some exemptions to the law. Some Country clubs will not allow Tiger Woods to play there because of his skin color. I do not know of any other exemptions.
Now I will never forget those absolutly blessed people that stood up to Woolworth's dept. store on tht steamy hot day in Cincinnati when I was a child. They were an inspiration to me, and they showed me that all men are created equal, and they showed me that we could all overcome and they showed me that there is a God in Heaven that will lift up the people that are cast down and give them the Crown of Life.

Why not ask Dr. Bob to create a religious/theology site, and that should make Lou and all of the 'attorneys' happy....then all of the posts could go there or be deleted....

Dinah 1,
Thank you for your exclamation about abhoring injustice. When I first came to this board, I was shocked that there was two boards and I was changed to the social board. I wanted only one board, for I feel that segregation is wrong in any form when it comes to thease boards. There were many here that also objected to the establishment of the new "old timers board" for similar reasons.

Friends,
I do not know the person that is explaining to you the basics of our constitution. But all he is explaining to you is the first and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
I believe in freedom of speech and have no problems with anyone posting anything on this bord. I am not advocating blocking anyone for their speech. What am asking for, though, is to be allowed equal rights to speak. People tell of their experiance with their theripists, there pdocs, their mothers, their bowel movements, their sex lives,and their battles with themselves.
What I have been telling you is what I experianced. I did enter the City of Peace. I did have my life changed to a whole new creature. I did overcome.

I respect your right to post here as much as any poster of this forum.
You are very correct in your above statement>>>What am asking for, though, is to be allowed equal rights to speak. People tell of their experiance with their theripists, there pdocs, their mothers, their bowel movements, their sex lives,and their battles with themselves. <<<<
however each of those topics does not enter into every post. I am now posting to you to let you know that the constant sense I perceive in your tellings of your path is that you aren't interested truly in allowing others to find their own way.So far I am only hearing the city of peace from your lips. Please allow others their paths no matter how much it pains you.
Namaste,
Alii

Alli,
The path to the City of Peace has 7 Gates. We all have the keys to those Gates. I am telling what I experianced and how I overcame depression and addiction. What I experianced actually happend to me. I have met others throughout the world that have had similar experiances. You see, most people are waiting for God to return to Earth. I have found out that God never left the Earth. He is here now. Standing next to you. You can be in Him and He can be in you,now! When I left the City of Peace, the Rider said to me, "Lo ,I am with you always, even to the end ..." You can all have God within you, now. You will be living in a different plane, a higher plane. You will no longer be shakled to your affliction. You will be free. But first you must know what you need to be free from, for your affliction is just the symptom of the slavery that we are in untill we are freed. You can be freed by knowing the truth. And that is what the Road to the Crown of Life is about. It is about being free from 3 things. I have been trying to tell those 3 things. But it can not be told in one sitting. Because it is a series of Gates that one goes through to get to the City of Peace. I have yet to explain the last 2 Gates. But those 3 things can be known now.
Lou
