  1. “An ocean of doubt.” I don’t think that metaphor works for anyone here. No one is swimming in an ocean of doubt. The ocean is, perhaps, a better metaphor for Truth. Have you ever swam in the ocean? Ever swam out far enough from the beach that it gets a little spooky? Ever been out far enough on a fishing boat where shore is no longer visible, all alone? What did you find? Or, what found you? Fear? Peace? Awe? Wonder? Humility? Power? Grace? All of the above? None of the above? How immeasurably immense the ocean is! How indescribably immense! If I walk into the surf, scoop some water with my cupped hands, is that the ocean in my hands? Obviously not! Is Truth something to be possessed? Does it fit in a glove?
  2. l You claim there's fruit in your life. Once again you use the abstract (like all that supposed good Saint Vic was supposed to do). How about some specifics? Considering you claim we have piddly replacements, I would assume you have oodles of examples of fruit in your life. Edited 30 minutes ago by So_crates To answer Mike's questions - 1. I don't think anyone expects anything of you. Reason wasn't involved when you fixed your beleeef in victor paul wierwille, reason won't get you out of it. This seems obvious, self-evident. 2. I'm not sure anyone is offering a replacement beleeef. I don't see any evangelizing or proselytizing here. I see a tremendously diverse bunch with at least one thing in common.
  3. How would you know? My daddy owns this bar. I decide what my daddy says. He has cookies. Hold on… I know they are around here somewhere…
  4. How will I know your will, if I can't read your words? Simple math, baby. Take a break. Take a nap. Do it all while standing, of course. That way no one gets missed. See? Fresh salad is always being served. Just a tremendous kernel! Hey, I didn't write the book, so I know how you feel, and I can't do this alone. Some call it parallel. Some call it balanced. I call it a kaiser blade. SIMPLE!
  5. Though that is objectively true, that's not what he's saying. Not REALLY. It's a more nuanced point. It's not about YOU. Not REALLY. That you won't or can't even understand what I'm saying, and that I am even attempting to explain it, well, that's REALLY what it's about. *Here's a a recent TIP for your cookie jar: To/for parallel to the ablative case vertically aligned to the vocative case. BOOM! No one gets missed.
  6. Nothing wrong with setting boundaries. Cults and charlatans like victor paul wierwille do not respect boundaries. Boundaries are important. Sometimes, common ground is nowhere to be found. "Some men you just can't reach." (Thinking of someone else.)
  7. I realized it had already been done. We could beat it up, again. After all, it’s just one of many necrotized infections on that rotting corpse floating in that filthy bathtub.
  8. No one is offering a replacement. No one is suggesting swapping one conditioned, indoctrinated mind for another. If anything is on offer here, it is the opportunity to wake up
  9. This documenting already has been and continues to be done right here, as it has been done in Charlene's book and in Kristin's book and in Carl's book...
  10. Four crucified, crowing cocks, chinqualla peekachoo, and Bible worship are not not on the path to "spiritual maturity."
  11. OMG!! Hilarious! "The Teacher." Holy shonta, that's funny. Why was the idol called the Timothy statue? Asking for me and Charity.
  12. I’m remembering that vertigo experience in Crested Butte and thinking about this snowstorm motif. Snowstorms, blizzards, are NOT symbolic of clear vision, clear perception. Snowstorms are blinding. Vertigo is confusing, disorienting, unstable. The unintended symbolism in victor’s snowstorm motif is telling.
