Although I am no longer reading the repetitious posts from Gene,
Stephen or Carrie, who apparently have a lot more time on their hands
than I do, I will continue, as always, to answer questions about the
book by those who are genuinely interested. Of course your other
comments are also welcome, whether they require an answer or not. I
also encourage you to communicate with eachother when you feel so
guided. Love and peace, Gary.

Let me state here for the record, that I am not the "Gene" to whom Gary was referring in his recent post.

I am rarely repetitious -- although I am, occasionally, tendentious.

I have a question, I don't know if you will consider it serious or
not.

If you aren't reading posts by Gene, Stephen and me, how will you
know if we ask any serious questions about the book?

Oh, maybe you meant any questions we might ask- comments we might
make wouldn't be serious/worth of your time, and you have already
decided his (overall) and will just skip our posts?

Let's see, adding to that Martha (who seems a lot different than
she was on other boards we've been on together, maybe she is at least
being honest about how she feels about me and not pretending?) who
has asked me to "shut up" and Patrick who sends me personal emails
with his responses, that really doesn't leave all that many people
here, does it?

I could ask you another question, that you won't read and respond
to, which is WHY DID YOU EMAIL ME AND OFFER TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE
BOOK? So I could read it and discuss it here?

And now I'm reading it and I'm here, you are making out like I'm
invading your board with mindless questions and comments (about my
version of ACIM and what I believe it says).

I guess I wasn't supposed to bring up and question any of the
lies and deceit that seems to have gone on around the book, even if
it might "clear the air".

It hasn't been a total loss. I got one more lesson in "shutting
up" (thanks Martha) and have actually come to see Gene and Stephen in
a much better way than I had on the newsgroup.

Like they really are my Brothers in Christ.

Don't worry about having to ignore my questions and comments about
the book(and rambling on about the course) I really don't have to
bother you (and Martha) anymore.

And I don't really have all that much free time. It's now almost
midnight and I could be sleeping.

And I really did want to know why you got to sit around all day and
meditate and Karen had to go to work in Lewiston. And you kept all
that went on (which seems to have been a big part of your life) from
her for 9 years!

Maybe THAT would have been a better, more believable story.

And, of course, who is Nelson, why isn't he listed as a
member/owner/moderatore? And how does one look him up on Yahoo and
see his picture (which could be anyone's) if his yahoo name isn't
listed here.

Thanks for the book and the invite to the group.

I won't make out you deciding to ignore me and have deemed my
questions and comments as "unworthy" is the same as throwing me out
of the group.

If that's how you (and Martha) want it, you got it.

You are the Gene who emailed me asking where you could read
the "newsgroup from hell" you were hearing so much about here.

Actually, this board is a lot smaller and they use nicer words, but
there's not too much difference.

Yes, that was me!

I don't know that I would say that, exactly, Carrie... ?after looking over some of the discussions there, I think I can see how that group got its nickname!

Hi Carrie:

It is true, that a lot of things have just resurfaced, that I had

tried to ignore when first we met. Like, you accusing others of
having secret boards, only to find out that it was <you> who had had
a secret board. Then your complaining about being ignored by others,
and feeling invalidated by them. Yet you doing the exact same thing,
but that is suppose to be okay.

It hasn't been a total loss. I got one more lesson in "shutting

up" (thanks Martha)<<

I did not tell you to shut up Carrie. I just feel that you make

statements that you feel others should apply, but not yourself.
Like "if a brother asks you do something foolish, do it, because it
doesn't matter." When obviously you do not apply this in your own
life. Personally I think it would be foolish to do this, without
first being absolutely certain, that one is receiving guidance from
the Holy Spirit to do this. And then it would be something that is
not harmful to any one.

I know that my responses to you today, were insensitive and for

that I am sorry. You do not deserve to be treated with disrespect,
and I was disrespectful of you. But I have never told you to shut up.

~ Martha

And I never had a "secret board".

Unless you believe what Katie (who believes ACIM is a cult) says.

That's what she called my egroup SongOfPrayer. Which wasn't
secret and for awhile was listed at the top of my open discussion
board.

It's still listed on the top of Nancy's discussion board, even
though it's been closed for over a year (because of Katie).

But if she (and you) keep stating it as a fact, it will become one
and one more reason to see me as a liar and troublemaker.

Whatever you want me to be.

You didn't directly tell me to shut up, but you pretty much
implied this. And it's what others want.

I am working on it.

I appreciate the honest feedback. Remembering it and not
thinking "today is a new day and it's over and done" (when it really
isn't) is still a problem for me.
