If someone takes the time to type out quotations, they obviously feel
that they are important. The quotes were not "downloaded" or "cut
and pasted from other articles--which would be an easy enterprise to
undertake. Several times people will say to me "go find it." Or
when I assert something: "that is your opinion of the book."
Therefore, I picked out a few choice quotations from the book. If my
thoughts and ideas and the labor it took to post it mean so little to
you, I am sorry I took the trouble and sorry I inconvenienced
you--you are not worth my efforts. Actually, I thought I was giving
you some of the meat of the authors' views.
When I asserted certain prophecies, I was first told they didn't
exist and second to prove it. I was then accused of never having
"cracked a concordance or never having read the Bible. So, I tried
to give the actual quotes. If I leave things out, it is wrong, if I include them it is wrong. I
thought the point was to try to get at the truth: not to pass little
thoughts back and forth like at a badmitten tournament.
I think there are patterns.
I think there aren't.
Isn't everything random.
No that has been disproved.
It is all in your mind.
No it is objective reality.
You are talking like a subjectivist.
No you are letting your memes kick in again.
You are level 3.
Quite accusing me of that. I've tried for so long to..
I am like Tad. Where are the theories? What are you learning? Is
it just a feel good exercise? Do you feel warm and fuzzy? Can you
say that from these conversations, "I have learned such and such. "
Maybe that "Dr." was right. If he had left off his vulgar remarks,
the rest of it might have held credence--maybe all of us are just a
bunch wanna-be graduate students! Cathy Hardin
