The Color of a Cult

Recommended Posts

The true color of a cult is.......dull gray.

All individuals are discolored into this drab, dreary, lifeless shuffling thru life in dull gray prison clothes.

The institutionalized version of existence is their four-walls of conformed culture. Outside these walls, nothing matters.

With each passing year, the dull gray becomes even duller. And, the fabric is thread-bare. It matters not.

Long gone are the days of youth, excitement, spontaneity, laughter, uninhibited fun and thrills.

The highs are no longer as high.......and the cult doesn't allow for the lows to get too low.

Conformity and mediocrity, to keep things in balance, are the levers of control.

Where are the fiery reds? emerald greens? jet-sky blues? hot pinks? loud lavenders?

Momma, don't let your kids to grow up to be DULL GRAY.

Momma, don't let your kids to grow up to be DULL GRAY.

Don't let em wear dove pins and drive WOW mobiles.. :anim-smile:

(I couldn't resist)

Sing it, OldSkool.....

Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be DULL GRAY,

Don't let 'em wear dove pins and drive WOW mobiles,

Have them be doctors, or lawyers....

Or, learn professional skills.

Avoiding a cult, and kicked in the dirt,

Where the leader is chasing every girl in a skirt.

Mommas, raise your kids to know right from wrong,

Where life is worth living and family is strong.

Maybe it is gray on the surface, but on the underbelly in my opinion it is yellow. As in cowardly.. lazy.

From the founding prez on, they seem to point the way for the ordinary follower to take on huge risks, like hitch-hiiking half way across the country, going to a new city with only $200 in their pockets to get housing, find a part time job, and start a new *work*.

All the time the underbelly stays well secure behind vast corn fields and meticulously cut grass..

Guarded by a thug holding a loaded beretta, to avert vengeance from angry husbands

Yellow.. and lazy besides.

loy's idea of exercise was probably limited to participating in three-ways or something..

Nah. Not dull gray.

Black. As in black hole. Sucks everything in, lets nothing out.

In fairness to loy,

when he started in twi he was an athlete, if not as stellar an athlete as he liked

to portray. (Then again, who doesn't like to look at college and imagine

they were a more noteworthy athlete than they were?)

His main contributions to twi included leading the early corps on runs and stuff.

He only really knew football and anything partly related to football, but he did

know that much.

Of course, his LATER time as the grand poobah had him STOP exercising and get a more

average "middle age spread" that his believing wasn't able to melt, which was

more noticeable after he STOPPED doing the AOS regimen once it was filmed.

And as a college football player, LCM learned to revere his coach, never say no, and always respond to commands made by those in authority. VPW used Craig's dedication against him and to Victor's advantage.

When TWI switched their actions from simple authoritarian to Full-Blown MEAN, they went from operating as disciplined atheletes in competition to 'at-war', kill-or-be-killed military men. The colonel in the movie Avatar comes to mind...always RIGHT no matter what the evidence shows...
