Re: [Goanet] how long to be in purgatory?
Dear Nelson, Can we agree to disagree, brother, but as you can see, it is an established fact by the word of God, and biblical truth, that prayers for the dead and purgatory is non-scriptural as well as non-biblical. This is an ancient ritual which due to the emotions of the people, had been inducted into our roman catholic church somewhere in 340 AD. Jesus himself if u search the scriptures clearly speaks about a heaven and a hell. Never speaks about any purgatory. To claim that one needs to give x number of indulgences to obtain graces as well as freedom from "purgatory" call Jesus blood sacrifice, death, resurrection as nothing. Remember it is also written, give freely the gospel as you receive freely. Its a sad fact of our roman catholic church. I hope I have been able to be of encouragement to you, in Christ's love.

[Goanet] STATEHOOD for BOMBAY - KONKAN - VIDHARBHA.
Although the people of Bombay, Konkan and Vidharbha would like to free themselves from the clutches of the Maratha rule, it is unlikely the Marathas who dominate the politics in Maharashtra would agree to give statehood to Bombay, Konkan and Vidharbha. Unlike the Marathas who are from the Warrior class the people of Bombay, Konkan and Vidharbha are not from the warrior class and are no match to challenge the dominance of the Marathas. All the people of Bombay, Konkan and Vidharbha can do is keep protesting democratically and strive hard to carve out separate states of Bombay, Konkan and Vidharbha and free themselves from the dominance of the Maratha rule. Who are the Marathas : The Marathas are natives of Pune, Nashik, Sangli, Kolhapur, Satara, Ahmednagar and Solapur districts. Out of the 9 crore population of Maharashtra 34% population consists of Marathas. The Marathas dominate the political arena in Maharashtra. Marathas have dominated the state politics of Maharashtra since its inception in 1960. The first Chief Minister of Maharashtra was a Maratha ( Yashwantrao Chavan). Since then, Maharashtra has witnessed heavy presence of Maratha community and having more than 50% of their members in the ministry, local municipal commissions, police force, panchayats, etc. Adrian S. adrianj...@gmail.com Santacruz.

[Goanet] Are you really fitted for only a single occupation?
Get over the mistaken belief that you are fitted for only a single occupation! Every normal person can succeed at a number of occupations, and every normal person would probably fail in many occupations. Take myself, for example: if I had studied and prepared myself for the following occupations, I believe I would have had a good chance of achieving some small measure of success-and also of enjoying my work. I refer to such occupations as farming, fruit growing, scientific agriculture, medicine, selling, advertising, editing a country newspaper, teaching, and forestry. On the other hand, I am sure I would have been unhappy, and a failure, at bookkeeping, accounting, engineering, operating a hotel or a factory, architecture, all mechanical trades, and hundreds of other activities.
Re: [Goanet] [Secular Goa] The Inquisition Lore
Dear Brothers & Sisters, reading this. As i read through the write up whch appeared on my laptop page, tears rolled in mine eyes. Hence i thought id take some time to share the few following thoughts: So what you are saying is that the inquisition did happen, but the details were not *that bad*? Is that what we are saying here? A couple of Jewish businesses burnt, the Jesuits slitting the throats of children? not that bad? it was just a "holy purging", 3000 Jews including Garcia de Orta's sister being killed in Ela, Old Goa was an exaggeration! Was it? Even One Hindu temple burnt, or one mosque destroyed, even one Jewish family destroyed, is no big deal? As long as we can defend Our Holy Catholic Church, yes? Myth-ification is an amazing manner how to deny the past facts!! Just as how the Gopakapatnam Harbour has been left to ruins, so also as the Augustinian tower (which was actually an ancient synagogue) was been destroyed, just as Curca Springs is left to ruins. This is all mythification!! Dear Fellow researchers, I greatly congratulate your studies that you have done, however i'd suggest if i may, that you continue your research, if possible personal research, by visiting the ancient sites, and you will see the glorious hidden truths revealed there. Indeed Goa was a Glorious place EVEN before the Portuguese settled here! Hence, can we agree? The Inquisition was a very Sad & Dark Period in the Roman Church, a very painful period, where, Jesus our Lord, asked Peter to put his sword into his cover, when he cut off the soldier's ear, Jesus NEVER propagated ANY Violence, yet the Roman Pope had the audacity to declare the EVIL Inquisition! And our Beloved Saint Francis Xavier CALLED for it!! This FACT is historical, and documented, and cannot be revised, to meet the whims and fancies of the Goan bishop and his clan. However, we pray that the truth is revealed, and people WILL realize the Lies that they have been forced to believe all through these years. We pray, that when the Church Sincerely Apologises, THEN, they will receive True Forgiveness from Christ Himself, for Tarnishing His Holy Name. Hence i remember Gandhi's words, "I love Christ, but i hate christians." Till Then. best regards, Adrian Simoes Managing Director The Judeo-Christian Heritage of the West Coast of India.

Re: [Goanet] GOANET : [HOW LONG TO BE IN PURGATORY]
Dear Stephen, Here if i may be permitted to add, that saying that there is no Heaven or hell, is as good as saying that Jesus Christ is a Liar!! The name Stephen which you have received is for a young man & martyr Stephan, who was stoned to death for his belief in Jesus Christ!! It hence is appalling, that you even when named as a christian name, no nothing about your beliefs, and go ahead to call Jesus Christ a Liar. Jesus clearly has spoken about heaven, from where He came, to where He went back and is seated at the right hand of the Father!! Jesus himself also told us, that He is going back to prepare mansions for you and me for after we die. Is Jesus insane? or will you call Jesus a Liar?
