Now that you understand key and what it means.  Let's explain who you are.

Has the key been used before?

The Key.  The Key.  Nothing But The Key.

When studying The Key a key may be key if the key was keyed in on before.  This key is known as simple keying.

The key to one key, is another key.

 OJ’s bloody murder glove didn’t fit in the courtroom..but it DID fit… even though it didn’t… (It really did, it was HIS glove.)

Got to MAKE it fit, or make it NOT fit. 

Your perspective is making the answer unclear.  Shame shame shame.

He'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling TVT's.

V is for verbal. Verbal implies words.  Words are infinitely defined by other words.

In a movie like, The Joker, he dances after committing murder.  Similar in a Clockwork Orange.  The two behaviors don't immediately relate.

Tenacity is the salve for cognitive dissonance. 

Or dualism.

“I think we were willing to brush off his mistakes because we really believed we should keep our focus on God’s Word, not Wierwille’s human errors. However, I know editors who tore out their hair trying to fix Wierwille’s transcribed sermons, making them presentable to print in The Way Magazine and in Way books.“

This is another description of TWIG face.  Masked discomfort. Or pain.

Willing to brush off . . .  pain.  To choose pain.

Human errors . . . As opposed to systematic error?  Or . . Spiritual errors?  Cause they were belieeeeving

"Fiction comes from the imagination only"

Pretty sure whoever made that claim had a full, open bottle of glue stuck in their nasal cavity.

"Feelings come and go, the word of Gawd abideth forever"  . . . Or something

False Dichotomy 

Feelings do come and go

*tosses Bible into bon fire*  . . . *phoof*

. . . Didn't last forever

"The Word" means something different to everyone.  Therefore as subjective as feelings.  . . .  Maybe

Maybe we've arrived at a Brave New World even earlier than we anticipated.

Well, no baby factories yet.

But the presuppositions to as who is raising the kids, maybe.

I've pointed out I'm dealing with this "sense of belonging" as a teacher, as a parent, and as an employee.

This is a restructuring of society as a whole where our concept of family is under pressure to change.  Meaning a very Huxlian situation.  In that world the traditional two parent family is a cult.  So by protecting your biological kids, you're abusing them, because there are no parents in that world.

Rocky I think you are wanting some very "emotional" answer.  As if there is some feeling to invoke to solve some problem that doesn't have a well defined context.

And how can parents raising their children inoculate THEIR children from cult predation?

This is the essence of the question I intended to be the subject of this thread.

Any ideas?

Okay, to innocuoate your own kids you need to have parental rights.  Then once you have rights, exercise them.

Once they become adults, that's up to them.

"I'm so glad

I'm a part

Hey! Just a cotton pickin' minute!

Clap your hands! 

. . . But there was still a pecking order.

How can "sense of belonging" be used in a practical sense?  I don't see how "sense of belonging" can be a goal.  Perhaps a byproduct, and subjective.  Not objectively measurable.

I hope you emerge from the crucible in which you seem entrenched very soon.

I'll take "crucible" as a metaphor for "class struggle" . . . 

I mean, once everyone feels they belong. . . . Then what?  Will there now be a Pareto distribution of belonging many will suddenly sense?  Some are certainly going feel a greater sense than others.  Will there be a Pareto, re-distribution?

Attachment.  Indeed.

Children are supposed to grow up leave home and build something new.  This emphasis on soft skills distances people's minds from reality.  Like they'll just easily fit into the next mold.  Struggling with something?  Someone else needs to make room for your "sense of belonging".

We used to say "humans are social creatures"

Then came "sense of belonging"

Which nobody can get clear on

We are to fight "sense of belonging" with "sense of belonging"?

These words are mine:

You're so far removed from me that you have no idea what I would or would not have a problem with.

Therefore, the ONLY meaning the quote above can reasonably be taken to mean is the degree of projection you use. 

A cult is actively taking our kids and the title of this thread is what now?

Just now, Rocky said:

As opposed to academic researchers? 

You would have zero problem handing your children over to the State to build their identity?

Use your own words, Rocky.

Just now, Rocky said:

 

Btw, a better understanding of the "real world context" of sense of belonging might be found here.  

No, real world context is found in the real world.  

"Sense of belonging" is used as part of a bait and switch to build a "sense of family" of children in the school system.  Biological parents are now coparents with the staff.

Really? Who exactly do you think might possibly "get their hands off of your kids" by making any such declarations on GSC, or this thread?

That doesn't make sense to me. 

The opening post comes across perverted.  How dare he.  Just read it.

The real world context of how "sense of belonging" is being used has been pointed out to you repeatedly.

If the thread is merely to engage in fantasy, then that would make more sense to me.

Oh really? At what point will you consider playing well with others?

When they get their gawd-damned hands off my kids.

Does that not make sense to you?

I have a dog or a few in the fight.
