I got these about 2011. That's why I say they are about 10 years old. And thank you for your service. I hear the U.S. is poised for another golden age in the future.

Is that the case? To hide from the laughter? Or are they sick?

I have more. . . I have a pile of them I don't see a date

Anyway, isolation is a thing. Pushing people away to isolate others OR to self isolate are two other things. While pushing others away you could be isolating yourself. While pushing others away you could be isolating them.

Victim. Not a Victor.

I'm gonna go with French Cemeteries, in that case. We were trained Way D to "keep your friends at arms length". That's for friends. You don't want to get too close to those types. People are essentially dead. The dead of course are NOT alive. The purpose of ostracism is a death sentence. No contact is as if someone is dead to you.

I thought the context was the attitude behind the action.

I'm just following instructions. They told me to operate Power from on/while High. What about sanctions? Is that no contact or ostracism?

I tried a 10 year old MRE chicken dinner recently. Because why not. Not bad. Even have these chemical heaters that cook the meal. Just add water. Oh yeah . . . water.

As I read this it sounded very similar to the "no contact" strategy. Which is what someone leaving TWI might want to employ with TWI - as a means to establish boundaries. Ostracism/ silent treatment/ mark and avoid (in TWI) VS No contact It's the same thing with a different attitude behind it.

Covid has accellerated boomer retirement, and not enough kids were born years ago. There's just not enough hands to do the work. Fortunately, in North America, a food surplus will remain the norm.

People freaked out in the Original. Subtley. See how important snakes are? Your sins are NOT that bad. Now eat. Oh I may have left some things out.

If only there were more Corps Teachings. . . We may never know for sure. . .

WHO CREATED THE WEDGE This whole thing could fall apart like a house of cards. . . .

LCM I think would quote Proverbs 6:18 explaining how these thoughts can't come from natural man. They come from The Adversary. So for every beleaber get revy while high there's a seed boy getting naughty ideas from the other team.

The devil can't create. He puts a wedge into the mind of someone NOT born again Rightly divided BS.

Walking on eggshells. You're always downhill in the pecking order of believing. And ALL sin is just as bad. You can't make small mistakes. They are all a catastrophe. But no condemnation sure do you love you forgiveness and yada. Until you f it up again.

Unforgivable sin as I heard was a wedge in the mind that allowed devil spirits full access at all times. You couldn't renew your mind or something. . I'm not sure how you commit it though. Maybe if you peed in the fountain. DTA, Defeating the Adversary. Because dust bunnies are a spiritual battle. "Sinning" in TWI was arbitrary. It was anyone's guess if you were in or out of fellowship.

Trying to connect dots . . . Or X's ... he had that board in the class with different size X's and said they are all the same, meaning all forms of sin are the same, none are worse than the other. . . But the renewed mind has a pecking order. As he alludes to in those Corps teachings. (And that ignores the DTA class and original sin.)

"Day by day" And moment by moment. The ability to live in a perpetual reset button. Like a video game. The last game meant nothing. The next one isn't a thought yet. When you are around people like that, when you are around a group of people like that . . . What interaction has value? None.

So is dinner. Lunch. And breakfast. Can you hunt with lead? Does it ruin the meat? Asking for a friend.

Maybe you're not familiar with the opportunity cost of money? Wayworld's debt policy was silly. Anyway sacrifice is everywhere when you think about it. So is death. Everything dies. No exceptions. Before, during and after the Jesus story people were very aware of that.

The Bible Canon was established by the Catholic Church over a thousand years ago, I think. You could view the whole thing as a progression of ideas, beginning long before the canon, that lead to how we all currently think, whether we like it or not. Being written by humans, it's going to have hiccups. But an honest interpretation of people is of a flawed creature. Perfection being the pursuit of ideals. God and Jesus being personification of those abstracts.

Constant bickering over the interpretation of The Constitution too. Which party is the CORRECT party? Why so many? They hardly agree within. A document that discussed slavery and how slaves were 3/5 of a person. 3/5 of a person. What sort of Founding Father would do that to a people! Monsters! All of them!
