JMG TRAILER: Stained Glass Windows
Stained Glass Rainbows explores
the most controversial subject facing America today: the collision
between the LGBT community and the Christian church. Can gays be
Christian? Is homosexuality a sin? Is there a gay gene? Is there such a
thing as an ex-gay? Both families and churches are being torn apart over
these divisive issues. Stained Glass Rainbows brings together the
voices of the left, the right, the middle, and helps bridge the gulf
through its dialogue. From gay pride parades to anti-gay protests, Stained Glass Rainbows confronts the controversy of faith through the hearts and minds of people on both sides of this uncivil war.

From a privte list: The following was told by Krishnamurti
"You may remember the story of how the devil and his friend were
walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man swoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.
The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?"
"He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil.
"That is very bad business for you, then," said his friend.
"Oh, not at all," the devil replied. "I am going to let him organize it."

"As
you strive to awaken from the dream of suffering, it is very important
to look at the pleasure it brings you. Look at just how much life energy
was invested into maintaining certain negative patterns.
Subconsciously, we believe that giving up this suffering means giving up
pleasure itself."

Feel Confident | December 2, 2014
You should feel confident: Yes, I can attain enlightenment, I can
benefit beings. Here in samsara I can help my family, I can support the
sangha and benefit sentient beings. I can do it. I can achieve things,
and I can live a joyful, meaningful life.
