I am Ifrit, or as some may know, Ashley... ash... anything you call me will go( Nothing bad please! ;D) I am a maniac for fantasy creatures like elves and elemental stuff, centaurs, dragons mostly and basically anything under that line. I speak partical Spanish, and well 2 other made up languages, from final fantasy i Can sorta speak Albhed and i can speak a couple certain elven languages ( yeah i know stupid but fun when people don't know what you say... especially teachers! lol) I like to draw but not so good at it sometimes unless i have a really good idea what i am doing. I am a wolven obsessor! I love wolves, when i join a site and i grow "attatched to it" I begin to call it the place where i belong or my loving pack (so if you hear me say it here ehehe don't freak and be like OMG WHAT DID SHE SAY? lol) If you've grown to a disliking to me i shall refer to you as my prey... until further notice but i don't like to hold grudges ( If any of you are from wolfweb you would see why.... well before the crash anyways... no one liked me there lets say lol) I love, Just love to roleplay wolves elves and other fantasy/ non fantasy stuff so if you know of a good rpg site (except pote and mfd those i know of) let me know i already have over 60 characters across the net that are active and belong to over 40 rpg sites ( hard to keep up with my god... and i can't just kill the characters people love.). Some people judge me before getting to know me and think i am mean.. ( Its not true, what ever the voices in your head are telling you are wrong! wrong i tell you WRONG! lol) I am probably the nicest person you would ever meet, and well.... just... strange as can be lol!Well enough about me....

I just figured I'd introduce myself... You're all so lucky to be in the UK!! So much culture and history... I'd find some old library and never come out... (and Hawaii must be exotic and lovely as well!) ... my name's Elizabeth, (well, my birth-certificate says "Mary Elizabeth" as my whole first name, something I choose to ignore...) I live in New York, USA, am a student and free-lance writer... I positively worship rock music, am a "lapsed roman catholic/wiccan" (became so by very odd means) and.. I like green...? (Not sure what else to put...) Hi ya, lhiata, and big welcomes to the forum. We are very glad to have you here
don't have many photos. don't like cameras very much, but i have these. dudleythoth.tripod.com/itsme/I did have the opportunity to use a webcam over Christmas, and i know Shan saved a few pics, so I'll probably get some of those from her and see if i dare post them. I'm 31, but look younger. I still act and dress and act like a teenager, not sure if i'll ever be able to grow up and be a responsible adult, but I hope so, lol. Mostly this has to do with the fact that I have had a social anxiety disorder which developed when i was around 15-16. I left school a year early than i should of done, and so i have no qualifications, and i have never been able to keep a job for longer than a few months. It's been a number of years sinc i have had a job, and i rarely leave the house, and the internet has really blessed me so much, although social anxiety can be just as debilating online as it is in the 'real world'. I have been really blessed and met some great people. I like people, but i am something of a loner too. I am totally happy being in my own company and I hardly ever suffer from bordom. I love all styles of music, whether it's blues, reggae, funk, Techno, alternative (indie), or just plain rock. It can be simple or complex, I don't mind, just as long as it effects me emotionally in some way. My top five favourite Albums are Van morrison 'Astral Weeks', the Orb 'uforb', Primal Scream 'Screamadelica', Funkadelic 'Maggot Brain', and Can 'Monster Movie'. Also like Love's 'forever Changes' too I don't listen to much music these days though. I dress in jeans, t-shirts and trainers, and feel totally uncomfortable wearing anything else. i hate shirts and ties and all that stuff, and swear to never wear them. My hair is pretty long but it needs cutting. i never brush it and i'm starting to devolop some chunky dreadlocks. I like making graphics, which I have been doing for nearly a year and a half it must be, and it's a great creative outlet for me. I like mythology, and ancient history a lot and have spend more time doing that than anything else probably. If i wasn't so hung up on graphics...i'd be doing that instead. i also like to study religions in general. my favourites are 'Hin duism' (mostly the upanishad traditions), and Buddhsim. I have great respect for them, and I feel there is much to be gained from them. I like 'playing' the guitar. A lot of my family play it, but I'm not the greatest by any means. i can string a few cords together though, and play some classical stuff, but I don't really have the fingers for it, plus i'm waaaay to tense. I like movies  . I like Akira Kurosawa movies. i like Indiana Jones, , Star Wars, Jaws, Good the Bad and the Ugly, a Few Dollars more, Akira, Tons of other movies that are a bit obscure. i also like futuristic movies like Logans run, 12 monkeys, Fahrenheit 541, Metropolis...that kind of thing, for some reason. Movie that always have a couple of paragraphs of text at the beginning to explain the nightmare reality that is the future i like other stuff too, mostly world cinema stuff, i guess. I'm a Christian. been one for about ten years now. i believe that Jesus was totally the same as God, that he died and was resurrected, and that through his death I am reborn. I also feel God's presence, his Spirit daily in a very real way, and I believe God is transforming me and remaking me in his image . i don't go to Chruch, for reasons given above...and I don't accept the infallibility/ineffability/whatever of The Bible. Yet I believe in Jesus. My best friend is Shanny. She has been a total Godsend to me, and I am really greatful and thankful for her friendship. and she means more to me than anyone. that's pretty much it, i think |

heres the full version of the poem
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dreamless sleep
There is a place that one always dreams of,
One that held so high up above,
Maybe it's something everyone loves.
There is one love thats in my heart.
One so strong that it won't tear apart.
I think of you night and day,
Sometimes I wonder what you will say.
When day turns to night,
I love the way that you hold me in your arms so tight.
You were always afraid to let me go,
And you would always hesitate in doing so.
There is so much I love about you,
And everyday i learn something new..
Somtimes I wish I knew more about you,
Sometimes when I sleep,
It doesn't really go so deep,
That when I enter my dreamless sleep.

So you think that there may be mistakes in the Bible?

So you think that there may be mistakes in the Bible? Michael, The Bible has been translated over and over again. The men who translated it OR the men who paid for it to be translated it used their own biases while transcribing it. In other words, what God said is no mistake but what others have written down for us to read may be full of mistakes. That is in part why it is so important to have a personal relationship with God yourself instead of letting others dictate your beliefs. There are things in todays Bibles that weren't there until fairly recently. Yet most people believe that they are "God's Words". See if you can find a copy of King James that was printed before about 1940 and compare it with one published in the 1950's or later. You will find verses that have been completely altered from version to version so that they now contradict themselves. |

The way i see it is that the word of God is something that can be pieced together, if you like, by studying the Bible and become familiar with it. i feel that I have a reasonably good idea of what the gospel message is and I understand and accept it through my own personal experience.
I don't pick and choose what to believe and what not to believe, but rather try to approach it in a state of ignorance, and my 'quest', I guess, is to let God teach me what the truth is.
That's my approach. Other people approach it differently.

Oh... okay. I gotcha. Yeah, I do realize that with each translation the Word is changed but... I don't know... I guess I was thinking that you meant God's word was full of mistakes. lol... I always get so confused... And did you know that in Greek their are levels of love and hate and that since the English language has only one word... we all think that those words are on that one level... Interesting...
