Pinan	Confused Sep 12 2008, 7:14 PM EDT I do not know the definite reason I am back. I do not know what inspired me to write this...reprieve. I do know that many months ago I was...less mature. Since April I have matured quite a bit and the first step was realizing my faults to correct them. I realized that arguing accomplished slightly less than nothing and holding a grudge is worse. I believe that part of my maturity was delving into Shamanistic beliefs and joining karate, which has given me a balanced state of mind and a new lucidity for the world. In fact, Pinan, my name, is Japanese for "Peace and Harmony". I could not think of a better name for myself now and Dictator-of-DOOM certainly isn't befitting. I don't know how anyone will react to this, I am sure it will not be positive. But I realized that leaving you all with a bad aftertaste from my previous escapades was not a good thing to do. That is why I admit to immaturity months ago and why I am attempting to sweeten the sour tastes. I am not an Oracle, I don't know if it will work, but I hope it does.

Pinan	3. RE: Confused Sep 15 2008, 9:10 AM EDT I'm glad you've been able to accept the apology. I'm not completely sure of what I have to contribute to the site...but I will nonetheless. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
workman34	4. RE: Confused Sep 17 2008, 5:23 AM EDT Hi Pinan, I'm sorry I haven't answered back sooner. Worklady has bean in the hospital with heart problems related to stress. I'm sure you will find many interesting things to share with us on the site. If you haven't already noticed, I no longer use this site for debate. I have changed the focus of the site to "sharing of our personal beliefs" and hope that we all honor and respect each other for the courage to step forward and talk about those beliefs. The debates that you and I have had on this site in the past had gotten so out of control that I lost my taste for it. I have found that we are not alone in that respect. As it is, the brothers and sisters from my own faith bicker and fight with each other on other forums over the smallest of disagreements and at times act down right hateful of each other. I have been guilty of this same attitude of trying to be right at any cost myself. All the bickering has left me a bit disheartened to say the least. I have stopped participating on those sites for the most part only for the fact that I'm just so tired of the bickering. Don't get me wrong, I haven't lost my faith in God, but the faith I once had in my fellowship with my spiritual brothers and sisters has been shaken a bit. There are a few members of this site that are the exception and show love and respect for there fellow man no mater what. I love the fact that they have joined me on this site to help promote peace and love. I'm also glad that you have joined in the same effort. We don't have to share the same beliefs in order to join together and promote peace and love for one another. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

RE: Confused Sep 17 2008, 5:42 AM EDT Hey Pinan, If you are interested in taking over the "Science Page", http://tags.wetpaint.com/page/Science+Page , feel free to do so and make any changes that you want. Just keep it focused on new discoveries in science. It could make for an interesting discussion topic. Also, I cant wait to see what you have in store for us on your new page "Nature's Guiding Hands" http://tags.wetpaint.com/page/Nature%27s+Guiding+Hands Post reply Do you find this valuable?

workman34	7. RE: Confused Sep 20 2008, 2:00 AM EDT I would like to thank Pinan for designing the new site logo. Like this web site, having many different religions represented. If you look close at the LOGO, Pinan has included many different religious symbols. Thanks Pinan Post reply Do you find this valuable?

workman34	9. RE: Confused Sep 22 2008, 12:16 AM EDT What we went threw on this site was only a part of our growth to becoming better people. There is always emotion involved when discussing religion and personal beliefs. I have no hard feelings. I hope you feel the same. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

RE: Confused Oct 4 2008, 9:12 PM EDT \| Post edited: Oct 4 2008, 9:12 PM EDT Hi Pinan, Not much activity going on here lately but joer1 has been building pages and worklady13 has been working on some pages as well. I've been putting in 12 Hr. days at my new job so I have dropped off quite a bit also but I do find some time now and then to work on the site. Grammad2 and many others no longer log in to see whats new. So, for the time being, its just the four of us. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
