Just curious Turq. Are your posts intended to inpsire and uplift Judy? Are your posts a reflection of grace and dignity? I ask you becuase in several nice posts you tried to inspire us to do the above.
I guess its that stupid consistency thing -- where "A View" is "Any thought is good 'in the moment' but damn that thought if a day or two later 'I' get a different one that totally contracticts the 'great thoughts' of the prior day." Some people claim that is (towards) enlightenment. Some people say its signs of a petty, frivilous or unstable mind. > > --- authfriend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB > > <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" > > <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Let's examine some more examples of Barry's > > > > phoniness. > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB > > <no_reply@> > > wrote: > > > > <snip> > > > > > In it, he instructs the aspiring Inquisitor in > > the > > > > > ways of dealing with a heretic.
