I am also a Christian who seeks more information and guidance. I have never replied to you but for many years I have been following your posts at DECI VOICE. Your articles are so enlightening to me. My girls at FFF are to ointerested in worldly stuff. They certainly need to learn more about Jehovah's own words.
Can you spare some time to register in FFF and post your articles and daily Bible quotes there?
I am on travel with my husband but when I return I will create a new forum called "Religious Truths" at FFF and make you the moderator of that forum. I will transfer all your posts to the new forum.
Best wishes,
Dana K. Scully
PS: When I am away you can speak to my assistant, Victoria Azarenka (Vicki) and mention my name.
i have tried posting on your forum, but there seems to be a problem.
Here is one of the items I tried posting.
Do not be lying to one another. Strip off the old personality with its practices, and clothe yourselves with the new personality, which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it.—Colossians 3:9, 10.
In a Christian household, what can help family members to treat one another with kindness and goodness? Accurate knowledge of God’s Word plays an important role. Some family heads include a study of the fruitage of the spirit as part of their weekly Family Worship evening. Such a consideration is not difficult to arrange. Using the research tools available in your language, select material on each aspect of the spirit’s fruitage. You might consider just a few paragraphs per week, spending several weeks on each aspect. As you study the material, read and discuss the cited scriptures. Look for ways to apply what you learn, and pray for Jehovah to bless your efforts.—1 Tim. 4:15; 1 John 5:14, 15.

Oh my! What a nice post that would have been. My girls at FFF certainly need Bible lessons from a knowledgeable and genuine Christian.
At 77 years of age, I don't have the stamina to logon frequently when traveling dear.
I spoke to our software specialist, co-owner of FFF Fox Mulder who created a new account for you with the password at FFF.
Fox also assured me that he will create a Religious Truths forum for you and make you the administrator. But he can do so only after you have posted at least 20 posts so that my girls do not accuse him of favouritism!
My girls at FFF might be a little aggressive at first, but if they appear hostile, you can mention that I (Dana K. Scully) and Fox Mulder have requested you to join. You can also ask Victoria Azarenka for assistance.

Here is today's scripture:
You yourselves will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.—Exodus 19:6
Was Jehovah’s promise that the Israelites could furnish “a kingdom of priests” an empty one? Not at all. If they sincerely tried to obey, they would have this opportunity—but not under the Law. Why not? (Gal. 3:19-25) For those who faithfully endeavored to observe it, the Law had the effect of preserving pure worship. It made the Jews aware of their transgressions and of the need for a sacrifice greater than their high priest could offer. It was a tutor that would lead them to the Christ, or Messiah, titles that mean “Anointed One.” However, when the Messiah arrived, he would introduce the new covenant foretold by Jeremiah. Those who accepted the Christ were invited to become party to the new covenant and would actually become “a kingdom of priests.”
And here is the last post of my new series on God's Gift To Mankind The Rare Fruit Trees and Vegetables:
Hi Everyone:
Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the blue marble, elaeocarpus garnitrus.
Elaeocarpus is a genus of tropical and subtropical evergreen trees and shrubs. The approximately 350 species are distributed from Madagascar in the west through India, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, southern China, and Japan, through Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, and Hawaii in the east. The islands of Borneo and New Guinea have the greatest concentration of species. These trees are well-known for their attractive, pearl-like fruit which are often colorful.
Many species are threatened, in particular by habitat loss.
In Darjeeling and Sikkim areas, the fruit of several species of Elaeocarpus is called bhadrasey and is used to make pickles and chutney.

Blue Marble Tree is a fast growing, large, spreading, distinctive, rainforest tree, growing to 35 m tall. It is native to Australia. Alternately arranged oblong-elliptical leaves, 10-18 cm long, have shallow, toothed margins. Leaves are dark green above. Flowers are greenish or white, bell-shaped, with 5 fringed petals, in numerous racemes borne along branches from leaf scars. The white flowers in summer are followed by metallic blue fruits 3 cm diameter, which contain a hard pitted centre. Fruit stones were used by native Australians for necklaces. The natives were known to make up an edible paste of the ripe fruit by squashing them into a bark trough filled with water.

In Genesis 1:11-13, "And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

Dear Ms. Sullivan:
My name is Venus Williams. I am using Dana's account to help you out. Can you describe the nature of your problem to me? Were you able to sign in?
In that particular forum, you might see that you can post messages as a guest (without signing in).
(You can click the POSTREPLY button on your monitor. It appears towards the top left of your screen.)
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.
i was able to sign in as I signed up for membership and not guest status. However, when I try to submit, I hit the 'submit' button and it appears to do something, but the post remains when the screen comes back and has not been submitted.
I can not figure out this dysfunction as the submit screen is similar to the one on my own forms. I hope that you can assist me in 'ironing out this dysfunction.'
We, the FFF Team, sincerely regret the inconvenience you had to go through. It is awfully nice of you to agree to share your educational material with our girls.

Tried the preview first and then submit. Seemed to post, but when I clicked to review my post it could not be found. Details, I went to the board - member chit chat, and then new topic. I posted, previewed, and then submitted and it seemed to take.
Here is what I posted, title, 'scripture of the day' so maybe you can find it:
1 - Although [Jesus] had performed so many signs before them, they were not putting faith in him, so that the word of Isaiah the prophet was fulfilled.—John 12:37, 38.
Yes, despite all the good done by the Messiah, many people would not believe in him. (Isa. 53:1) Also, few put faith in the good news about Jesus, the Messiah, during the ministry of the apostle Paul. (Rom. 10:16, 17) The Scriptures foretold that the Messiah would be hated without cause. (Ps. 69:4) The apostle John quotes Jesus as saying: “They have both seen and hated me as well as my Father. But it is that the word written in their Law may be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without cause.’” (John 15:24, 25) The Gospel accounts prove that Jesus was hated, especially by the Jewish religious leaders. Moreover, Christ said: “The world has no reason to hate you, but it hates me, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are wicked.”—John 7:7.

2 - Hi Everyone:
Here is what I posted under title, ' Almighty God’s (YHWH) Great Gift to Mankind, The Rare Fruit Trees and Herbs'
Here is a Commentary on Bountiful Trees and Vegetables God (YHWH) has provided for mankind, specifically the Borojó Fruit Tree Borojoa patinoi
It is a native of the rainforests of Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. In its natural habitat, the Borojó Tree lives with 85% humidity in the air. The tree reaches 3-5 meters high.
The Borojó Tree is cultivated for its fruits rich in calcium. They have 7-12 cm in diameter and their color is green. The pulp of these fruits is acid and very dense. It is also brown. Each fruit contains hundreds of seeds. They are ready to consume when they fall off the branches. The uses of the Borojó fruits vary from juice, ice cream, capsules and jelly.
The trunk of the tree is small and sometimes separated in two or three smaller trunks. The trunk is grey-brown and harsh. The tree is an evergreen. The foliage is dark green and the leaves have a smooth texture.
Hardiness zones 10-11 (1°C/35°F, 4°C/40°F) in winter. The Borojó Tree can resist small periods of frost and even floods. It needs an average temperature of 28°C. Easily grown in warm greenhouses in cooler climates.
The tree enjoys moderate light. It requires good watering, don’t let the soil dry out. You may fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer. (source - retrieved from http://www.seedman.com/fruit.htm on 4/2/2013)
Alibertia patinoi, commonly known as borojó, is a small (2-5m), dioecious tropical rainforest tree. It is one of the few of the Rubiaceae family that has edible fruit. It grows in the northwest area of Colombia in the Chocó Department and in the Esmeraldas Province of Ecuador, in areas of high humidity and temperature. Borojó is an Emberá word meaning: boro = head, ne-jo = fruit - head-shaped fruit, or round, globulous fruit.[1]
The tree has grey-brown bark and sometimes has two or three smaller trunks as well as one main one. It needs high humidity (over 85%) and temperature (an average of at least 25°C) to thrive, though it can tolerate brief frosts as well as floods.[2]
Fruit
The fruit is large (about 12 cm length), with a round shape and brown color and average weight of 740-1000 grams. The pulp represents 88% of the total weight. Each fruit has 90 to 640 seeds. Borojo has high levels of protein, ascorbic acid, calcium and iron and very high levels of phosphorus. [1] Borojo is used in the preparation of jam, wine, desserts and traditional medicines with supposed aphrodisiac effects. It is also used by the local communities against hypertension, bronchial diseases and malnutrition. Borojo extract is widely sold on the internet as a health food.
A study commissioned at Rutgers University by Nutropical, a private company, found that borojo fruit powder had a high and significant content of polyphenols as measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu polyphenol test. Most notably, the researchers believe the key polyphenol found in borojo may be novel. Work continues to identify the compound and/or elucidate its chemical structure. An analysis conducted by the same company found borojo has an ORAC value of over 54 ?molTE/g (5400 µmolTE/100g). The form of the fruit tested, however, is not mentioned (fresh, freeze-dried, spray-dried, etc.).[3]
Cultivation
Around 3000 ha is under cultivation by borojo.
Related Species
Alibertia sorbilis is a very similar species, also used with commercial purposes. Borojó de la Amazonia (Amazonas borojo), Duroia maguirei, is a wild species in a different Rubiaceae genus, which grows up to 8m and has a smaller, edible fruit. Claes Persson (1999)

Fox Mulder checked the software and advised me to tell you that the problem appears to be with your browser's cookies which is interfering when you try to post your research material.
We still would consider it a privilege if you post. Have you tried posting as a guest? Perhaps that will work for now.
I have tried posting using four different browsers, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, and Comono Dragon. Would Opera or Safari be better? I could download those I believe.
