Well Mr. Daniel Crookston, I'm afraid you've caught me in the act. How dare I advocate independent thought when I really should be advocating that "the thinking has already been done" by the GA's. That's what is righteous. And to even think of making decisions for ourself, how dare I come to such unrighteous conclusions. I should humble myself and let the church and the lord make all of my decisions for me. I should just shut off all of my rational thinking faculties and trust the 12 old men in charge of the church. They know what is best for me in my individual life. Why did I think otherwise? I need to just close my eyes and walk with faith. I don't need to see the pitfalls in front of me with eyes open. The lord put them there so I would have my eyes closed and fall into them so that I could grow. What better way is there to go through life? All of these organizations which I've found myself in like the LP and the ACLU are just organizations of Satan to bring us away from the blind collective which is of such great virtue. I should switch to only the edifying missionary canon for my readings and philosophy from now on! -- Michael Golden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
