I’m sure you do, I was pointing out a misstep which makes the “dance” look rather incongruent with the rest of the ballet.
Ha!

Unless you are now calling me a liar, having previously exalted my openness and honesty?
If you really think what you are saying is true, then - of course - it's not a lie.

Conversations about GB invariably occurred in the GF, a forum you rarely venture into. Do you think perhaps that might be the reason why you missed my previous post? (No doubt directed towards Rusty). Anyway, the oddness of your response inspired a micro fiction. Have it on me:


A tree had fallen in the forest but FMF himself hadn’t been there to see it. Had the tree fallen? A board meeting was called to discuss the matter and as FMF was the chairman of the company and had a large house with a swimming pool, he was pretty sure that if a tree had fallen, he of all people would have been aware of it. Men in grey suits took turns in agreeing with him, until the tea lady quietly pointed out that due to FMF lacking the divine quality of omnipresence, and hardly ever went into that particular forest, perhaps it had fallen when he wasn’t about.

Do you remember the question I was asking you in private before you flounced off ~ which you blanked out studiously?

I believe that something untrue that is said without the intention to deceive is not a lie. So I don't think you are lying. What is the "oddness" you see?

I don't need to thumb down because I say straight to your face what I think of you: you're a horrible person.

Thanks. Because Philokalia doesn't seem to care how the people he endorses post but he does seem to count the thumbs down.

Gosh, Kegge This is the longest conversation we have ever had about Spirituality or the goings-on here on this forum.

but I’m not here making dreadful insinuations as way of puffing myself up and trying to score cheap points on an Internet forum board.

Why are you describing other posters as termites?

It’s an adjective which sprung to mind when I was considering the scurrilous nestine group-think going on in this thread between posters such as SecondSon and Suzianne in particular, and how they now see you as part of that hive like collective.
That's stupid. Ghost and I know where we stand relative to our beliefs, opinions and points of view. Your characterization of how we or I "see" ghost is flagrant posturing on your part trying to justify your lame brained perspective.

It's odd that you don't understand and immediately accept that the post was probably made in the GF, a forum you rarely go into (and which I clearly remember posting).

Maybe spread your legs a little and venture into other forums, if you want to stay on top of things.
