Kit, its not the end of the world. Consider the Yin and the Yang of things, the light, and the dark..

Yeah, I think you got my intent, socks. I think that sometimes people actually get some real enlightenment of the Divine. The logic of the human mind tries to figure out how it happened.. how it can be replicated.. but I don't think it can be. What some groups claim they have for sale is a pale imitation of the real thing. Seems that enlightment is a two edge sword, of sorts.. one edge will burn like fire.. but in the end, that doesn't make any difference. I think it is SO personal, that nobody else in the world can seem to understand it.. Right- I think that if you can't give it- you can hardly SELL it. Can't hold light in a bottle. Does this senseless rambling seem to clarify things Chas?

Thanks Friend. :)

naw.. gotta be law enforcement. I don't see any fur there George

I dunno.. I think we need a FEW ethics..

Just for me- I would never reveal a PM. I wouldn't even reveal if I got one/didn't get one. Or from or to whom. Tell me you're planning to do some real harm or something, and the agreement is off. If its harrasive or something, it would seem far easier to hit the little delete button. I've had secrets disclosed to others that I've told in private messages.. not that I care, or that there was any REAL harm done, but I would question their ethics. But that's just me.

Happy New Year! Any resolutions out there? Well, I'm not gonna join a cult this year. Does that count? If you must drink, don't drive.. we don't want any REAL greasspots here.. and if you drink, don't end up like this.. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/uploads/...11_76_92843.jpg

Here is something I found about the Killdeer. from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killdeer I think we are getting a little to close to the "nest" for some people. It may not be easy, but a person can ignore this kind of behavior.

I think it is kind of "convenient".. Us greasespotters are picking on some poor, sincere, soul.. All of this "conveniently" seems to take pressure off of the REAL problem- PERSONAL PROPHECY, CES, John Lynn, et al. Why one person is willing to fall on the sword here is beyond me.. of course I would have done this for another organization, at one time. All of the distraction seems to be FAR too convenient. PERSONAL PROPHECY, AS PRACTICED BY "THAT" ORGANIZATION IS STILL FUNDAMENTALLY DEVILISH. God-in-a-box is STILL despicable. At least to me. I think it is sad that somebody comes forward as some kind of suicide bomber of sorts, to try to protect it.

Hello T-bone. I don't think we've been properly introduced.. you can call me Ham.

<<<<< yeah, the guy over there. I punched in my real name on the Pro Wrestling name generator: http://www.kujosoft.com/wng/wng.php and it spit out "Angel Death". I chose to adopt a wrestler persona, but don't worry. <<< he won't hurt a fly.

The worst part of it all, I think- the seething rage is directed not to the critics, but to their own flock to stay in line, to stay the course.. all the while the ship has big enough holes in it to drive a mac truck through. The excuses, the coercion, the threats.. the emotional blackmail..

I had a REAL strange dream last night.. All of those mechnical pencils I lost over the years came back to haunt me..

Yep. :)

but as to JL's prophecy nonsense.. I know the old proverb- housewife doesn't say all cakes are bad because she happened to burn ONE. But how many rotten cakes are they gonna bake before they figure the recipe is bad to begin with? How many more failed prophecies, churches cut in splinters for this nonsense? When the prophecies don't happen, the "unbelievers" roll in laughter.. and those who run this prophetic nonsense are driven to seething rage.

$60,000 a month? hmm. I wonder what's coming in after this little fiasco..

Yeah- and I have NEVER, EVER, EVER seen this as a result of prophecy in ANY of the organizations. Never. That's why I think "prophecy on demand" may a flawed concept. But somebody just HAS to pick it up, polish if off.. "Well, it didn't work for them, lets try it another way..."

That kind of rage can't exactly be good for ones health, you'd think..

Really?sheesh..

What about advanced class specials? They started with some FAIR fixins.. but the mystery meat they served a day or two later.. yuck. I couln't tell whether it was horse meat, or what.. a friend of mine swore it was dried liver. Ah, and the millet..

You'll get that message if you're not logged in..

Yep. Said the Lord was gonna take him or some such nonsense if he didn't get the bucks.. Not every day that the lord kidnaps and holds people for ransom..

With a face like that, who could? :)

Yeah.. I know where there was a council of 450 of them..

I'll have to agree about the pies, Lindy :) but otherwise the food really wasn't THAT good.. Besides the tainted doctrine, I think we were conned into thinking that we were being fed the best food in the whole world.
