Jaskalas, no need for apologies. I welcome your input. You bring up the flock waiting for a shepherd. In that regard we are the lost lamb. Have you seen a lost little baby lamb? They are sooo adorable, how could you not want to save them. It would break your heart not to scoop them up in your...

Yes Moonbeam, that is the exact context I found that word. In fact, it was top of mind as I had just read that particular book and thought the term very fitting to something I have been seeing consistently throughout my journey. The fact that this condition appears to be increasing is...

On the Tyranny of the Majority in posting on a Left-leaning forum:

Moonbeam, I have been reading your posts for twenty years now. At one time I thought you were a fool and a lunatic. Now I see you only as a lunatic. I mean that with the deepest regard from one lunatic to another. Words are a pale representation of our deepest thoughts. Communicating those...

On the Tyranny of the Majority in posting on a Left-leaning forum:

Oh Moonbeam, why do you think you are wrong? From what I can see you are very right indeed. However, you seem to be confusing right and wrong with truth and untruth. There is a line of thought that ego doesn’t exist, that it is simply a figment of the mind. Opposite the fake ego exists the real...

On the Tyranny of the Majority in posting on a Left-leaning forum:

I am well aware of what you are saying. There are many words to describe it and it has been experienced by many people. You refer to theosis, bodhi, metanoia, satori….. Although, you have not appeared to have considered what I have asked. Do you know why that is? Or maybe that is your answer...

On the Tyranny of the Majority in posting on a Left-leaning forum:

Moonbeam, I want to start by saying that I enjoy seeing your point of view across this forum. However, I wonder if you have considered that truth could be an illusion? What if truth is like a bird gathering its nest. Each twig, twine or bramble a new truth added to the firmament until the...

Is god pissed?

Commodus, it sounds like you want to explore this idea further. So I will offer the best analogy I can produce. Let’s say you’re a programmer, you love to program, in fact you have been programming computers since you were a small child. You realize that nothing happens on a computer without...

Is god pissed?

arredondo, I am a rare poster but have been an avid reader of this forum for many years. However, I felt the need to reply to you in particular. You follow your path with strength and fortitude. Many wonder what your motivations are, they fear because that is their nature. However, many are...

Time travel in movies and books - Looong Question:

I seem to recall John Titor solved the problem of the planet moving out from under you when traveling through time. Although I can't recall what he said GE's exact solution was. Good sci-fi story though. :-)

Trust but verify, or when to kick a slacker?

That's what we have done, but we can only call so many and if it does turn up we have no recourse without a police report. A local pawn shop told us that the police can do a better sweep of all of the shops if a report is filed. It also puts some pressure on Jim if he isn't being truthful.

Trust but verify, or when to kick a slacker?

The netbook may be worth very little but feeling secure in your own house is worth a lot more. Questioning my children is hardly an out of the ordinary occurrence as kids often have information on electronics they may have used. As others pointed out the eldest may have had a friend by I was...

Trust but verify, or when to kick a slacker?

I am aware of that product and wish I had gotten it before this incident. Didn't think it would walk away from my living room. But of course that's what everyone says after the fact :-)
