As far as Gingie being willfully ignorant and a scatterbrain, you obviously do not know her! I do and she is a very smart person.

AMC: People disagree. That's normal. What I object to is people blasting me for things they only THINK I said. I've never condoned VPWs abuses. Not once. For GingerTea to infer that I was doing so indicates your perception of her intelligence may not be quite so high as you'd think.

That was way outta line.............and I have had my share of bad responses to other posters
I wasn't there either but the "tag lines" of CFF are pretty clear
Outta bounds is what your latest post is, and that's the least of the offense
No lady deserves to be spoken to that way, even if perception requires it
quote: Who is dead, after all. What point is there in letting him stress you any more from beyond the grave?
Then in your response to Ginger you said:
quote: The length of time you allow dead people to abuse you is entirely up to you. Displacing the blame only serves to make the vicitmization linger.
Zixar, to me these words mean that you want Exxie to just get over it. Can you imagine how hard it is to get over such a thing. Yes, he is dead but like I said before so is Hitler. Am I comparing VP to Hitler, maybe I am. The point is I am trying to get to a point where you can understand what it is like to be a victim. I think you can have compassion for someone who was victimized by Hitler and the anger they might feel even though he has been dead for many many years. How insensitive you would seem to them if you told them "The length of time you allow dead people to abuse you is entirely up to you"
quote:Would it actually have been that much trouble to look it up? Here's the actual Santayana quote: "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Thse who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
aren?t you brilliant ? you looked up a quote.
quote:I said nothing of the sort, but would it be too much trouble for you to actually READ what I wrote? Apparently so.
what does this mean :
quote:Who is dead, after all. What point is there in letting him stress you any more from beyond the grave?
and
quote:The length of time you allow dead people to abuse you is entirely up to you. Displacing the blame only serves to make the vicitmization linger.
speaking the truth about wierwille is not displacing the blame.
quote:Wow. What color is the sky in your world, anyway? I mean, doesn't it physically HURT to be that willfully ignorant? I usually tolerate your scatterbrained derailings with a due sense of exhaustion and dread, but my buffer is finally full.
that was really really mean. that was a personal attack.
quote:You don't know how every individual inside CFF feels about VPW.
but we do know how ?CFF? feels about wierwille. the references to the wonderful father in the word and his wonderful foundational class are published on THEIR web site
quote:Either way, it will keep this kind of noise off the forum.
i?m so thankful for Ginger?s beautiful noise
zixar, maybe you would do better to stick to noise like looking up web sites about deadly asteroids

I can see how one might think that. It's not what I meant, though.
Can you imagine how hard it is to get over such a thing.
I can only begin to guess. My point was not that the abused should just "get over it", for I believe that recovery is a process that takes time. My point was that a victim has control over his or her own further exposure to the abusive influence.
Yes, he is dead but like I said before so is Hitler. Am I comparing VP to Hitler, maybe I am. The point is I am trying to get to a point where you can understand what it is like to be a victim. I think you can have compassion for someone who was victimized by Hitler and the anger they might feel even though he has been dead for many many years.
I agree with you. The problem is that, under your analogy, Hitler's victims are spreading their entirely rightful hatred for Hitler to an undeserved hatred of all Germans, in this case. That's neither fair, nor supported by the evidence. That's why I posted the other question. Since we can obviously establish that NOT everything Wierwille was responsible for is evil, we show that the idea that says otherwise is false on its face.
How insensitive you would seem to them if you told them "The length of time you allow dead people to abuse you is entirely up to you"
Displacing the blame on whom Zixar?
As I said above, anyone or anything even remotely related to VPW, when it was VPW who was responsible.
Wow, Here I open this thread to answer what I thought was an honest question and I end up back in a Salem witch-hunt.
Obviously, those that asked what the CFF family reunion was like already thought they knew and no accounts of the truth of ones own personal experience would ever convince anyone otherwise.
All I know is I was blessed, encouraged and edified (I know you will all yell TWI TWI way brain at me, but actually you would have to argue with the Bible's author cause that is where I got those words, not TWI) by my visit there. I saw fruit of the spirit there (everyone of them), contrary to what I just experienced reading this thread. I thought I must be in the wrong place, this doesn't seem like the GS that helped me leave twi2, in fact I thought I had just hit upon a website for TWI 3,or 4 or 5 all rolled into one!
This is Greasespot Cafe, after all, where right or wrong doesn't matter. All you need to do is find a bunch of cronies to lend your rants some validation, and you're in like Flynn. Topics aren't relevant, and any wrong done you in the past totally justifies any wrong you do in the future.
What WAS I thinking?
Now where were we? Tombstone?
"Are you going to do something, or you just gonna stand there and bleed?"
Or was it a beer-up so we could all go p1ss on Wierwille's grave?
No, wait, or was it more feel-good psychobabble and fortune-cookie platitudes?
Zixar, I won't be nearly so elequent ( I like your style!)but I'll attempt to answer.
What made me think that this was twi 3 4 and 5 all rolled into one is that people who have never been or ever will check our anything else are slamming the very thing they have not checked out and know nothing about.
TWI screams there is no truth outside of TWI and seems to me that those that slam any other group without checking it out are saying the same thing!
Thank you for your response Napkinlady. You are entitled to your opinion about CFF and I am entitled to mine. We are in different places in our lives so, you might see it one way and I another. There is nothing wrong with that.
I don't want anything to do with TWI and anything related to it. So I can express my opinion about CFF freely here at GS. Like you can express yours. Something that could not be done in TWI,"Keep that mouth shut and agree." policy. That is why I was curious about you calling GS TWI 3, 4, or 5.
So if CFF is not like TWI, then they should be able to take some remarks from a bunch of reprobates.
All right, everyone. Maybe I'm just guessin' here, but I have a pretty darn solid hunch that Jesus Christ didn't bleed and suffer and die for us so that we could all verbally rip each other to shreds.
Freedom: The right to open mouth and bare teeth?
Tolerance: Something to be received but not given?
Love: Something to be reserved for those who agree with us?

For all of you who think that any thing that has anything to do with Wierwille is sheer, unadulterated evil, let me ask you this:
I was standing not 3 feet away from VPW's grandson and namesake on Friday evening.
Should I have shot him to stem the "evil"?

Ginger, though we occasionally disagree on things, I generally think you are brilliant, and in ways which go far beyond your keen intellect.
People may foolishly underestimate you. Use it to your advantage.

If you were in Tombstone, we could meet at "big nose Kate's" saloon
First round is on me.
Actually, Tombstone is a friendly town with good people who live and work there.
