Doug and the rest of the old crew couldn't wait to jump ship and complain about the old one from on board their new vessel. But here he is back again, still pouring the same old whine.
Sounds to me like over on the H.M.S. The_Leak, their new ride is living up to its name and they're already trying to get away. I mean, here's Doug, one of the leaders of the mutiny, *already* begging to be allowed to come back to FFL so that he can rearrange the deck chairs to suit himself -- regardless of how anyone else wants them. Meanwhile, I'm betting that most of us are pretty happy without him and don't really want him back. Because unlike Doug & the Whiners (sounds like the name of a 50s rock group) we just come here to have fun and talk about things without taking them too terribly seriously. And that's an easy 'tude to understand, because if the ship of the TMO goes down, we won't go down with it. He will.

Let us on FFL start the New Year traditionallynow with a 12 Days of silence on FFL. It is time for acounter-attack to take back the brand of Fairfieldlife. Push theadministrative buttons necessary in the ownership/admin section ofthe group and put FFL on hold in sync with our old and larger communal traditional time of spiritual renewal in silence.

Yep, asubstantial disciplined period of silence should be good for thewhole group. A little time-out quiet time.Sincerely, -Buck in Fairfield, Iowa "Andso from this principle of man's being silent, and not acting in the things ofGod of himself, until thus actuated by God's light and grace in the heart, didnaturally spring that manner of sitting silent together and waiting togetherupon God. As every one is thus gathered,and so met together inwardly in their spirits as well as outwardly in theirpersons, there the secret power and virtue of life is known to refresh the soul, and the pure motions and breathings of God's spiritare felt to arise." -BarclayApology 1678 _stanley@... wrote : Rick's not even answering the private email I sent him about this, so good luck getting him to address this here. Dear Rick, How about 12 Days of a Holiday Silence starting Christmas Day going in sync with Christendom up to the Epiphany, Jan 6th as are-starter for FFL? In so many ways this is the season of renewal, let FFL spiritually re-set itself in its own ephiphanaic time of inner silence, -Buck There is in fact a lot going on inFairfield, Iowa spiritually but those more substantial things getshared and said elsewhere and not much outside of Fairfield, Iowa.

The word is proved true against the greater part of them: For they do not believe. We have put yokes round their necks up to their chins. So they cannot bow their heads. And we have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further. We have covered them up, so they cannot see. Dear Rick, Negotiating with terrorists? Nope, however I do find thatRe-naming, Re-branding this place in to The-Abyss is a good middleway of dealing with it. It, the forum's seep in to The_Abyss is verydescriptive of how it has gone down on the old list here.You know in our protecting the brand of FFL as it is under attack, then of course as an an old and conservative Fairfield, Iowa meditator Ishould feel categorically that we should not negotiate withterrorists. It's a bad precedent in strategy. Can't beat 'em head-on then flank'em. -Buck in Fairfield emptybillwrites :Buck- yer so right... Dear Rick; Yes, let us start with a healthy period of silence onFFL and then re-title the home page over to: The_Abyss.

Let us have no thing here until at the least, 12January 2015. -Buck in Fairfield Dear Rick; Yep, great idea. Re-name/re-brand the Fairfieldlife group. Re-title FFL on thehome page to: The_Abyss at Yahoo-groups.

Rick there is a chance present here, afine opportunity now to take back FFL and recapture its franchise,the Brand of FFL from the unkindness that has swept over theforum. “Now is the Winter of Dis-content.” Make it ours again,a free and open forum again reserved and preserved as a place forkind thoughtfulness. It is time to have a strict No-fly Zone overFFL at Yahoo-groups. Let FFL go silent for a time. Give it a fallowrest. -Buck A winter break, imposing a No-Fly-Zoneover FFL. This would be a kindness.

Sincere regards, -Buck Dear Rick, Asserting and instilling aperiod like a seasonal silenceover FFL as a gesture would place more of a firm grip as moralleadership towards reforming the general unkindness that spreadacross FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups, it would be very good toextend such a suspended silence upon FFL even unto first day ofSpring [March 20th 2015] whence fairerflowers springing might arise anew coming out of such reformativedepth as a reflective period so imposed administratively as areflective moral silence of a long and silent communal FFL winter. -Buck in Fairfield Rick, it would be very good to extendsuch a suspended silence upon FFL even unto the first day of Spring. [March 20th 2015] Dear Rick, Instilling anadministrative no-fly zone of silence over FairfieldLife as a meansof disengagement would be important moral leadership in changing the manifest wreckage of unkindtone that this battlefield of FFL has become. It is time to clearthe FFL field spiritually. I would support you in this, -Buck,the Patriarch of Peace on FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups. Yep silence FFL, suspend it, unto Easter Sunday [April5, 2015] symbolic to the resurrection of something anew and a newhope in the community that was FFL.

Take some time off to re-group.-Buck Rick, we know and understand that you are busy however; have you been reading any ofthe posts to FFL?
