Erin Brown:
My religion belives that you can't have
peace without violence. Now don't get me wrong, we would love for
their to be world
peace, but when we do have it we won't recognize it and be able to praise
God for the little we do have. I think that instead of striving for
world
peace (which, by the way, to me, means no wars; violence; petty, childish
fights; anything thats not in a friendly mannar) we should strive for a
world without civil wars. Human against human is the evil part of it
all.

I have had enough of the games played here in this community. There
does not seen to be an end coming. I have had Billings Police cruisers
pull out in front of me while I am driving on the street endangering my
safety. An organized group has been blocking me in traffic causing
near accidents. A sticking substance has appeared on my lips making it
had to smoke and eat. It also caused sores in my month and an
infection. I am living in a world created by mental health people.
Crimes are being committed and the way it appears there are no responsible
authorities to report them to. On September 20, 2000 I attempted
suicide the first time in my life. I am not proud of it. I
was drove to it.
What am I saying is GROW UP PEOPLE? The mental health people know how
to kill people. I am a well person living in a world where there is
not law. No protection from crime. On the other side, I have
also watched a Billings police officer wipe tears from his face. I
have watched a police office lower his head in shame, shack it and drive
off. He knew what was going on. It sickened him. Police
officers are not taught to control their emotions. They are easy to
read if they are caught at a surprise. If a person could live through
this it is clear he or she would be a survivor of a concentration camp.
I challenge anyone to investigate this and evaluate if they could live
through this. This is the world I live in.
I watched a video recently of two young children being forced to fight each
other by the parents. It was brutal. The mental health people
have had many years to study me. Have the state of Montana public
mental health officers decided I am too nice of a person or are they fearful
people will take advantage of me? What violent sick act am I expected to
commit before I can be considered normal?
I am well. I am demanding an answer in ten days "Tell me
the true."
If you cannot answer you are expected to send this to the appropriate source
so that I may get on with my life doing the things I have learned to love
and understand. What I have learned is what I can expect from you is
the basic public employee behaviors.
Footnote: Judge Herman has opened a window. I must ask you to
looking in it. Please do not get to close. There are things
happening in this window, which will surprise you. The air coming from
it is stale. Your normal impulse will be to close it.
This is what is happen to me. Call these people and tell them you have
recieved this message.

I believe that Peace begins with children. It is our children who may
experience conflict and/or violence at a very young age - in either their
home, community or school environment. We need to provide the children of the world with the skills they need to
resolve conflict and build more peaceful communities.
Every adult should lead by positive example!

Peace is realized when we teach it. In our world today,it is rarely found
and can only be given by someone who has it. So be receptive,be aware of
it's presence,as it becmes a practice in your life ,you will gently offer it
to others!

Blessings of peace to all!!

Working with fellow Rotarians on Urban Peace and Healthy Beginnings, I am
convinced that nothing substantive can come of our work if we continue to
see so many babies born with brain damage caused by alcohol use during
pregnancy. In all industrialized nations, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)is the
major cause of birth defects. This 'brain drain' diminishes our ability to
cope with issues of domestic and international violence because of the loss
of individuals who will never achieve their potential and the immense costs
of dealing with the educational, social welfare and criminal justice needs
of those struggling with FAS. It is our modern day hidden plague. Please
join with hundreds of volunteers around the world on the ninth minute of the
ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month each year as we reflect on
the need to avoid alcohol during the 9 months of pregnancy. FAS is totally
preventable but not curable. For more information go to www.fasworld.com
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing you from, Turkey. From such a distant country, I have the
intention to express an extremely important objective in my opinion. Even though countries over the world have many differences as to kilometers,
races, cultures, religions and several other aspects, I believe that they
all have a common makeup. This common element known as spirit makes the
entire humankind similar to one another. All through history, people have
been setting up the rules of this inner voice which is in essence very
simple in internationally acknowledged conventions, declarations and
numerous official forms. After that, leaders of all nations get together to
discuss these in extensive congresses and draw conclusions. As a result of
these huge organizations, every member of the entire number of nations, from
their official departments to the fruit seller and the banker are summoned
to live in peace. Despite the great significance of this call, people are
inclined to think in a formal way because of the prevailing formal
style. However, concepts like peace, unity and love mostly lose their
power of impression when spoken with formal words. Since such a way of
expression takes out the sincerity adhered to these concepts. In that case,
these words remain as a set of laws that are part of a convention or a
declaration stated as a collection of letters written on paper, without any
effect in people's souls.
Thinking that it is impossible to reach each one of the six billion people
over the world, leaders of these states call their own people to peace and
brotherhood in the name of their nations after making long discussions to
place these concepts in hearts.
Wherever over the world, either in Nigeria or Alaska, people know what love,
good manners, modesty, compassion, mercy, help, generosity and brotherhood
mean. The member of a tribe in South Africa or someone dealing in commerce
in New York City are grateful to a helping hand in times of difficulty. In
other words, they can understand and appreciate righteous behaviors. Leaving
aside physical differences, I think that there is only one way to reach
every person who is one and the same in spirit. Actually, a writer gave me
this inspiration. While making research on the Internet, I suddenly came
across the web site of this writer. The books of this author, Harun Yahya,
reminds people who may at any moment fall in bad manners to act in good
morals. While doing this, he uses a very effective wording on one's soul. In
any case, he had a deep effect on me, and the people close to me who I
advised them to read. More than hundred books of this important author have
been published in Turkish, English, Russian, French, Spanish, Bosnian,
Portuguese, Urdu, Albanian and Arabic languages. This means in countries all
over the world that are far away from one another, many people are reading
the words of this valuable writer which open the way to being conscience and
then to peace and brotherhood.
Dear sir, your organization is a respected organization
recognized in every part of the world. People not only know you, but
appreciate and rely
on your facilities. Definitely, many people visit your website on the
Internet in order to learn more about you. What I kindly ask from you is to
help in our world to get free of the dark clouds piling over it instead of
brilliance, due to the lack of unity, tolerance and good manners. You may
find the works of the author Harun Yahya, I have informed you of at http://www.harunyahya.org/Eng/homeeng.html
in his own website. If you are
sharing my thoughts would you consider opening a link in your website
reaching to these books of the author?
I would be honored to receive your valuable comments.
Yours sincerely,

Now, it is impriper if it doesn't try to become peaceful in God's feeling
and the wish if it hopes peacefully. God feels sorry. Because, God doesn't
have a country. First, it is improper if God's country isn't estabished.
Where do you make the model. They are South Korea and North Korea.It is the
unification of South Korea and North Korea. All the problems of the world
are contained in the two countries. It that is does to unity it to
become peaceful how is made by true love! It which even loves to live in the
benefit, an enemy loves is God's love! When it is compared to itself, it is
the unification on the heart and the body. It is a problem if married
couple's unification, each other are living in the benefit. A country and a
country live in the benefit in the next. Then, the world lives for God. The
thing which God is most hoping for is peaceful. It is praying yhat all the
people live in Godd's wish!

God is parents.Parents think that allmankind is a child. Then,the thing of
the child's grouth is the most afraid. It is always afraid that a brother
isn't quarreling or it is respected to eath other.
I want to comfort it because it is suvh God.It meet God's feeling
together,and glad to God life.It is because it is the central family of
allmankind God.

a wonderful site!!
I stumbled on your it the first day I got back into town from the Million Mom March in
Washington D.C. The march has inspired me to put together a non-violent conflict
resolution workshop to teach in an elementary or middle school in my area. Children
are not always learning at home that violence is not a solution, and someone must teach
them. I have no idea what I'm doing -- I'm not a teacher, nor have I taken any
classes in education, but I feel strongly that this is something I can do to make at least
a small difference. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you!

Initially I took up the reseach as a way of helping out a friend
in his academic work but have come to be overwhelmed by the whole idea and the committment
of all.
At 33years I wouldn't say am young or have not achieve to get involve in
voluntary or non profit contributions like this,it's a thing of the mind.
Your web site have helped in bringing out a part of me that most likely
have hiden itself from me. I can as well feel I can do much, but how much
will I be able to do or go without much orientation is what I might need
help to do.
I will therefore be glad in any way your organization will be of assistance.
My grandfather once told me that every tree I see came from a single
