Perry you are a complicated man (I am assuming that your are man because I don't know you and you use a name that might be representative of a man but, since I don't know you, it is only an assumption). Maybe I should say that you are a complicated person. I wonder if I should, I wonder... And when one puts that, it really is a rhetorical question, isn't it? Well, this is also a rhetorical question so there is no need to answer. But then, if you answer only one of them, or both, then why would you if they are all rhetorical questions? After all, I am not asking you, I am just wondering. (wow! i've just re-read this paragraph and sounds as complicated as some of those you write - I wonder if it is just my lack of reading skills).
And wondering I go around, just as many other people, including you. And then somebody will address that point, which you consider ...well, something, I don't know what. A wonder, perhaps?
No Perry, I didn't think you are anti-american. I am not interested in that topic. Maybe I didn't write well. You see, I am not a professional writer. Maybe you are, or you had better education than me, who knows?
And now I wonder if I should give you advise. I think I will. Take a few days to read my post again. You may read the same thing but then the emotions would have gone. I think you want to avoid emotions, and you do it well sometimes. Other times they appear as obvious lines that lead those answers.
Yes, I am an exmember. Have been for a very long time. I also was a member for a very long time. For those reasons I only know very well of my part in the genocidal crimes perpetrated by that group - so painful on innocent babies, their own children.
I imagine you are an exmember but I don't know you just as you don't know me. Because I don't know you, and we discuss in this ethereal medium I only address your post or your comment, within the thread that frames your words. I have learned that it is better to remain within the confines of your present words. That way I avoid looking at the messenger. I also advise you do that. You might learn a couple of things that way.
So, do I know how to read? I guess you already made up your mind.
But all in all, I also wonder why didn't you address the point I make that cultic thinking in TF comes from the same place as the cultic thinking of those who cry against people denouncing the culture of their day.
If you get even deeper, you might even find out that even attacking an idea is pretty similar to cultic thinking - but I am getting weird here and I wonder...
