As Cary Grant said "Well Here I Yam"....

Seems the same thoughts which went thru my mind Jan 1st also went through Al's...a bit uncanny really.

It's nice to see that those who had an agenda to shut down the truth by purposely abusing Roy's board (by posting inappropriate material and using profanity) failed to silence us. Let them gnash their teeth and wail in the outer darkness like the Liberals.

Evan, I heard the Roy comment on Martin Luther and it was straight to the point as always (although maybe after the nailing to the door Luther veered off into intellectualism and by-the-booik rigidity).

By the way, the movie "Cromwell" (often shown on History channel) makes a similar point: Oliver Cromwell goes into a church and smashes all the idols and jewelled paraphenalia in front of the congregation (he's a Protestant making the same point). It's a neat movie for a lot of other reasons too.

Trying to do what is right, Cromwell is betrayed from within and from without by underminers, snakes and parasites and has to deal with those who try to co-opt his "rule by the people" mission by making him a King - a tactic he nobly and forcefully rebutts. It's one of those movies where you get more out of it and see more the second or third time you see it. I recommend it.

I agree with Al's comments on the board but respect Roy's right to "take away the target" - after all it is his board.

Sunny too, confirmed the thoughts I had about the need to speak up where we can : it's a necessity.

Personally I had (and have) no hatred for Setfree, Lonelyguide, Timewind or Phoenix, but the ideas and assertions they were making could not be allowed to go on unchallenged - basically I could see that they were trying the same "co-option" tactic referred to above to legitimise themselves and their "nothing and nobody is wrong" New Age belief system, much like the homosexuals try with their same-sex propaganda (lies stated as fact). So I had to speak up to that, or face some pain from God for my sin of omission. We are not meant to be mute witnesses.
