packed a gun because you knew what was going on and wanted to keep the kids in line because the spoon wasn't getting it?

i do not subscribe to any particular set of beliefs but the fact that you do and are using those beliefs as the standard by which you judge others is why i use your beliefs with which to discuss things with you and i've been thinking about this "that was my flesh" and "please finish and get done with all my imperfections" bs you're trying to use to wiggle out of being a regular jackaninny towards those you consider "wrong" and less than you and your oh so illuminated self. just who do you think you are to tout the bible and Jesus Christ and then turn around and act just like those both the bible and your selfsame Jesus Christ rebuked vehemently and say "oh that was my flesh"? doesn't your bible say that you are to be a "living witness" and that by "YOUR" fruit "YOU" will be known?

that was a backhanded apology so not accepted and also the Word of God according to the bible is jesus not the bible.

there is NO proof of which "god" or "jesus" is "right" or "wrong" but mockery of others IS wrong according to ANY interpretation of the bible.

ok so this is going to give it away that i'm single and have been for maybe too long but me and my cat have breakfast together most mornings and when we do she eats at the table with me sitting in her own chair on a couple of phone books with her plate right on the table and the food is whatever i'm eating so if it's eggs she gets eggs and if it's cereal she gets cereal but she doesn't eat toast or bagels but she does eat the the cream cheese and jelly or the cottage cheese and tomatoes if i put salt and pepper on them. she's my best friend and i love her too much maybe but she loves me too.

that "spooky" thing was supposed to be "wee hours of the morning" humor but i guess it didn't come across like that. the workbook is ordered and will be here by saturday because i paid for it to be expedited. thanks so much. oh and i bought it used off amazon so total with expedited shipping was 13.99. :)

whoa that was quick! kind of spooky. thank you and i'll sure go find a copy of that and take it with me to her. thanks again.

a family member has been having a tough go of things for awhile and she likes to draw alot and someone gave me one of those graphic tablets that i've never used so i thought i'd take it to her the next time i was out her way and we'd play around with it awhile but she isn't as skilled as she is talented quite yet so i was wondering if anybody here draws and if they do are there any links on the 'net we could look at that would give my relative some more discipline and skill?

but don't you get it? they have to let the world go to hell because the bible tells them it will. see? like a hand in a glove.

i don't know if this link will work http://www.quantumju...e-time-offer-lp my curiousity got the best of me and i clicked on a link that i knew would take me down a rabbit hole but i just couldn't ignore it and even though i had to put in "my" name and "my" email address to get one bit of information i did it and here's some clips of what i got from it all: "Please Read This Very Carefully Because You Will Only See it Once…Before You Continue To Part 1 of the Free Introductory Quantum Jumping Course, Find Out The Deep Secret That I Have Kept Quiet For The Past 3 Decades..." "If a universe can be imagined, it exists.~ Professor M.R. Franks, Member, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada" "Why you need to take what you know about the big bang, and toss it out the nearest window." "Ever wondered what would have happened if all those years ago, you chose this over that? The Universal Transit Point shows you all your possible past outcomes – In incredible detail." "Revealed: How for centuries, a simple twitch of the tongue has brought joy, prosperity and success to a select few." "If you could ask 3 questions to someone who knows everything, what should your first question be? (You'll never guess the answer!) "Ask the right question, get the right answer. The so-small-you'll-need-a-microscope-to-see-it change to the way you ask questions that'll get even the most stubborn people to open up to you." "How my alternate self took me from tone deaf camera-phobe to accomplished photographer and singer…almost as fast as I could blink!" "The jigsaw photo – The shocking discovery I made by piecing together a bunch of photos." "Unleash your hidden champion – Instantly draw success, confidence and wisdom from your alternate selves." to me this all reads and sounds like the green card or that stupid video or something.

one of the hosts kept saying it was the most powerful thing he had ever seen. yes, powerful. that kind of love to use the heart and soul of their talent to sing their mother back to health and the other people at the hospital oh wow! by their fruits you will know them and that's some kinda fruit. amen and pass the kleenex. thank you roy. happy holiday to us all.

now you're at +1 and i somehow have a -1 so you're doing better'n me.

oh poor girl! all those pluses and minuses are your reputation and i think you've been dissing yourself so i'm trying to add to your reputation.

this all makes me think that maybe it's like hypnosis in that once it comes up against a person's very nature then it falls apart because even if nothing really bad happened to somebody in the way that left they still left because of something that smacked up against their very nature hard enough to make them go "hmmm". and i should maybe add often enough.

if pay for the week off was promised then i can certainly understand the outrage but then i can also see that the job maybe proved to be just another job? that's a pretty harsh betrayal i think. good luck in finding a job that would pay for a week off.

i mentioned being in a cult in group one night and someone said they knew somebody else that'd been in a cult and it went from there and a couple of weeks later i had the url to here and i dropped by mostly to be "in the know" if this other person ever brought up what their friend had read or said here. yes i am that vain sometimes.

i am curious as to what job pays for a week off if not using holiday or vacation or sick days? it's not a normal thing in my experience so i wouldn't expect it.

this is good stuff to think about! rumrunner that was funny funny! something my therapist has posed to me is to quit revolting against my way experiences and begin to learn what good i can from them so that i can spend my energy helpfully on myself instead of destructively against myself because i'm beginning to have some health issues directly related to anxiety and tension and it's gotten worse since i started looking so closely at my way experiences. did that happen to anybody else?

dear excathedra i had the same questions and ideas for a long time because i just was so sure god was spending so much time with me but how could that be with all the crapola going on around me how was it that i was so special and all the other kids were not? then my current therapist posed an idea to me and she said that maybe it was just me inside all along, just my knowing right from wrong, good from evil, and maybe i am all that great for myself and maybe my own company is a comfort i can take. i'm not denying that there's a spiritual thing going on but i'm just putting out here the idea that maybe the spiritual thing is that "the eyes of your understanding being enlightened" and your true self is being raised up and strengthened and made wise. learning and growing is a two way street because there is the lesson and then there is the person learning the lesson and you have to be willing to learn. why did i "hear god" so much when the other kids didn't? probably it wasn't hearing god so much as learning the lessons. the other kids spent alot of time being either being afraid or being completely unable to function for sorrow but i spent my time planning and plotting my escape and fighting off the insanity. i'm not saying i was better than them but i am saying that i was learning and growing regardless of what was happening. call that god or call that gifted or call it whatever you want to call it but recognize that the most important factor of the equation is the willing participant.

the discussion penworks started got me to wondering how anybody would know if/when what is called "the cult brain" started breaking because people are creatures of habit and i wondered if people changed their habits all around or just their "bible" habits or what? i changed every single thing i could think to change about my life and would have gone for a sex change if i had been so inclined but even with all that i still find myself gravitating to certain types of people and groups and preferring situations that are more twiggy like in that they are small and homey and seem to be close knit and also i have to fight off overthinking every little word of every little sentence of every little thing i hear or read. "the cult brain" creeps up on me when i'm least expecting it too often to be comfortable with so i wonder how did people that were leadership and in way corps and very deeply entrenched in it all know when they started not being like that any longer?

i've got all the buttons now. thanks for the work because it's nice to see what i'm doing instead of clicking around blindly and ending up in the men's dressing room.

i can't find my controls and nothing happens when i click the dropdown box next to my name and clicking my shadow picture just takes me to my profile and i am logged in. oh oops. i clicked on a little picture that had nothing by it and nothing came up to tell me what it was but guess what? it was "edit my profile" or something. but i can't see most of the buttons now just the pictures but not the words or the outlines.

he's a TWITter too http://twitter.com/harveplatig

not to worry t-bone but thanks for worrying because it shows your care. a couple of things i've learned is one that this is not like group therapy here and two it's not like friends sitting around the living room or the dinner table so being here is more like standing on the street corner and speaking your mind and that means you get what you get and don't get offended.

thank you doojable. also here is what came before that particular quote: "Behavior is a function of both a person's personality and her situation (those of you who've taken psychology may recall the classic Lewinian formulation B=f[P,E] which indicates that behavior is a function of, or an interaction of, both the personality and the environment). One of social psychology's great discoveries has been the overwhelming influence that the environment--the immediate situation--exerts on people's behavior. Yet, when assigning cause, observers will usually attribute cause to a person's personality, not the constraints of the environment. This is such a persistent and reliable human bias--to assign cause to the person rather than to the environment--that it has been given the name of "the fundamental attribution error." The fact is, the environment can easily dominate personality-based differences among people, making person differences a relatively minor variable in the equation."
