   %SUPREME ADDICT GOD INSTRUCT WORD GOOD NEWS RULE 930328

     Which if the following is more believable as a letter
from God to Jack?

     Dear Jack:

     This letter is about Jill.  I made Jill for you.  She
is not perfect;  in fact she did not turn out  very  well.
She   is   a  victim  of  original  sin  and  needs   some
straightening out.   She is prone to make mistakes and  to
being willful about doing what she wants to do.

     I need your help in finishing up the creation job  on
Jill.    Use  your  own  judgement,   but  there  are some
suggestions:

     1.  Be sure to put Jill in her place.   When she gets
out of place, make sure she knows where she belongs.

     2.  Keep  Jill  reminded  of  her  imperfections  and
encourage her to work on correcting her imperfections.

     3.  Don't let Jill get away with anything.    If  you
give  her a centimeter she is likely to take  a kilometer,
and regard it as her right!

     4.  Jill  does  not  know  how  to  control   herself
properly.    You  will  have to exercise a  great  deal of
control over her before she will be perfected.   You  will
need to persevere.  It will not be easy.

     5.  The  good side of this job is that the closer you
get Jill to perfection, the more you will be able to enjoy
her.    Hope  for the good times which  perseverance  will
bring you.

     6.  Sometimes  Jill  will think that she is  just  as
good as  you are.   This is her major imperfection.    You
will have to straighten her out about this one.

     7.  If Jill  tries to tell you that she deserves more
respect, remind her of your superiority over her, and tell
her that  she will have to do a better job  of  perfecting
herself before she deserves your respect.

     8.  Remember  that  your primary duty in this  job is
finding  ways to be in control.   If you forget  you  will
lose it.

     9.  You may occasionally get the impression that  you
are  not  doing  a good job.   Do your best to  keep those
impressions from  getting  you  down.    Keep  a  positive
attitude, things will get better if only if keep believing
that they will.

     10.  Good luck  in learning how to fix  Jill  and  in
achieving a perfect relationship.

     Best Wishes,

     God

     Dear Jack,

     This  letter is about your possible relationship with
Jill in your community.   Keep in mind that you are all my
children.  If anybody tries to put another down, show them
this  letter  and  remind  them that  all of  you  are  my
children,  and  that I ask you to always and forever treat
each other as my royal children.   Here are my guidelines:

     1.  None  of  you  has  the  right  to  excommunicate
another  member  of  my royal family.    You  are  all  my
children and to be respected as my children no matter what
mistake is made or what imperfection is discovered.

     2.  Each of you needs to remember that none of you is
perfect,   or  better than others in a way which makes you
merit more favorable consideration than another.

     3.  None of you has the power to perfect yourself  or
another  member  of  my royal family so as  to  merit more
favorable consideration than another.

     4.  None of  you knows better than another  what  the
other should do.

     5.  Your  primary  interest should be in  getting  to
know each other openly and honestly.

     6.  Give each other the gift of true security wherein
you can be safely  vulnerable  in open and honest intimate
relationships.

     7.  Perfection,   imperfection, control,  chaos,  law
and  order  are  not  helpful  as  primary foci  for  your
ultimate  concerns.   Focus instead upon true love,   self
knowledge, and honest knowledge of each other.  Be true to
yourself and each other.

     8.  Don't take  yourselves too seriously.   Learn  to
cooperate and have fun with each other.   Enjoy yourselves
and each other as members of my royal family.

     9.  There will be occasions of sincere conflict.   Be
patient with each other and resolve your conflicts to each
other's  satisfaction;   not  to  your  own  satisfaction.
Conflicts are not resolved until they are resolved to each
other's satisfaction.

     10.  Remember, you are all members of my royal family
No one is to be judged as unfit to stay.

     Shalom,

     God
