  1. Guess it depends on one looks at things, at the time of this post there are 54% for some time limits and 46% against.

    But. Deleters beware, your words more than likely will reappear if you choose to pick fights and make condescending or toxic comments to others and then try to pull them after they have been replied to.

    This is a case where there is no right or wrong, just opinions and they are arrived at from different points of view. I was going to place a different *hypothetical* situation for Satori…………….but a truce sounds good.

    Paw just asked opinions and he got some…………. Those opinions being *poles apart* sure isn’t a shock to me……..

  2. Rather than getting in the discussion of cult terms and their accuracy, this thread has had me thinking along some other lines. Perhaps some experts would call it some nicely packaged term or disorder; I think about the term used as addictive personality or faults. But, I see where my self and others that were in TWI could not live a *normal* church or acceptable life according to society.

    When I turn 17 and partook of some of the taboo evils of our day and time, it wasn?t long I was completely *sold-out* to those things and running around promoting the same. I had *turned-on* and was going to do all I could to *turn-on* all that I could reach. Never had I been able to participate in any thing I enjoyed with out going almost *whole-hog* with my involvement.

    Then there is also the involvement=volunteer and service aspect to consider. From a youth it was ingrained in me to get involved and always help out and do my part for the organization. I did this with the boy scouts, 4H and FFA, when there was something to be done. I was one of the dependable members in the group.

    Many of the qualities of a good employee are also found in so many of us. Taking the tasks at hand so seriously and not tossing in the towel until the job was done and done right. We were punctual, reliable and trust worthy. Hard working individuals that could be trust to handle tasks and situations with minimum supervision. Of course that trust and the amount we were watched changed in TWI-2.

    Perhaps the best way I have heard it explained is that so many of us were good *cause* orientated and motivated people. We chose what we believed to be a high cause, heck we were lead to believe it was the Highest cause and we were then taken in and taken advantage of. TWI took a lot of great people that were easily motivated and would move with things and then got us out and moving their things and while they prospered and moved their hidden agendas????..

    edited just to *do it*

  3. Yes I did!!!!! It was an attempt to put myself in another’s shoes and pulled my thoughts when I didn’t like the way they were handled, my words were responded to in a most inappropriate way!!!!!

    And you know what, there was no justification for what I did, there was no satisfaction and my feelings were that of a spoiled brat taking my *words* home with me as a child that hasn’t learned to inner act and play nicely with others……..

    I have news for all you once posted it is always possible to find a copy of the thing. Like it or not, it is public property and once placed in public and is clipped and pasted by many individuals. So, there is no good reasoning nor any safe harbors after it has hit the board………

    The only thing that any one has control over is themselves and what they do here, once public it is kept by any number of people including ex’s, WayGB and lord only knows who. By a simple asking around, often the disappearing comments can be found…….

    That is reality and it was a hard lesson for me to learn; but at least I did. Any one that thinks that deleting helps in any way is only fooling themselves………….

  4. Unable to get logged in, but if I could I would vote for a one hour edit limit. Knowing that what I would be putting out on the www was going to stay there would help me to consider my ways and words more before I hit the post button.

    I also consider it a whole lot more considerate for all the other participants to have the post they are responding to left in tact as they respond. IMHO it is very selfish and self-centered to pull the rug out from under the other people that frequent the Caf?The mature and tolerant road requires a full exchange rather than a complete with drawl.

    One can always choose to ignore others, rather than getting drawn in to useless debates, or trying to respond to something that lacks apparent logic or because of previous experience has proven it’s not worth the effort…….
