quote: Later a guy on staff had written a letter to him explaining how microwaves work and that they weren't really dangerous. LCM's response was "Well, you can't be too careful."
This reminds me of a hilarious cartoon my brother drew in the 60s. Him and his high school buddy disagreed, He thought that a martial arts guy had it all over a body builder; his friend thought the opposite. So each drew cartoons illustrating their position.
My brother's friend's cartoon had the muscular guy crushing the martial arts guy in a fight. My brother's cartoon did a progression of fear. The more muscular the body builder got, the more paranoid he became. First he says that dogs are pretty viscious and could tear a fellow's muscles. The last frame in the cartoon has the super muscular body builder screaming and running away from...a mouse. Little hyperbole there, but I think LCM got so muscular, spiritually, that he could no longer handle the 'heavy and gloomy' attacks of the microwave.

As for LCM, based on my earliest TWI memories of him, which were favorable, and based on some GSC posts, I would like to believe that LCM had some spiritual savvy at one time, but I was definitely being a smarta$$ with the "heavy and gloomy' microwave attack comment.

I think lcm got so ISOLATED, so POLARIZED, his thinking got so black-and-white,
so full-of-conspiracy-theories,
that he swallowed the "microwaves will fry you" stuff just like every other conspiracy,
like "the Pope has an aircraft carrier" and so on.
lcm as a spiritual heavyweight? PLEASE.
lcm as a loudmouth heavyweight I could buy,
lcm SAYING he's a spiritual heavyweight, I could buy.
lcm putting forth propagnanda he was a spiritual heavyweight, I could buy.
lcm wasn't even a decent mediumweight, spiritually.
He ran the railroad right into a brick wall, and it didn't take long.
He wandered his days "in a fog" as HE ADMITS IT.
He ran off 80% of twi's people (and their tithes), then set about driving off the rest
by demanding they go everywhere 2 x 2 and write a schedule of their days in 15 minute blocks,
insisting this would stop the devil from getting them.
Are these things a "spiritual heavyweight" says?
