I do not heal people, do not speak with Linda, and do not come from the Land of Bewilderment, but I do have wisdom to share (and it's not shrouded in riddles). When in doubt, listen to your gut--that softly-whispered inner voice. It will never lead you astray. If something feels wrong, it probably is. Even a silent voice can scream--to ears that are open and receptive.

Cultural, national, and spiritual diversity...as stated in the Forum description. But it's here mainly to prevent the contention from affecting other Forums. Admittedly, we all have thicker skins around here.

The Guru threads have been causing 'disunity' elsewhere in LL. So they were moved to GU, a more appropriate forum.

Oh, I get it. Well, if disunity is what they are causing this is the right place for it.

Thank you, Randall. I am afraid that I am feeling a like a bit of a "sucker", having not caught onto the situation as early as I might have.....

For your reading pleasure:


Run, run! Get your gun!
A Guru's comin', gotta stun!
No, noooooooo! Real or fake?!
Do tell for Heaven's sake!
All the king's horses, and king's men
Let Humpty fall oh yeah, amen!
Let's now bow our heads in silence

Is there too much spiritual violence?
Say, what did you say, oh brudda?

A man just looked at yo mudda?
Never forget where you are from

All of us come from the womb
So remember, remember, guru moo!
So ya think you ain't one, boo hoo!

--------------------------
The question is -- coincidence, or reality? You decide.

Sh!

Coincidence or reality? Since when are the two mutually exclusive?

Randall, I agree, a Guru your not.

You are a leader here to protect Lindaland and the Knowflakes. An honored and respectable position dedicated to Lindas memory.

I hope with the ip issues, we not forget the debacle it caused in the past. "Carte Blanche" was a divisive & hurtful time. Yes, LL recovered but was the wounds worth it

Love

Juni, the divisiveness is being caused by your comrades, not me. It started with Daf's evil demons accusations and continued with the self-righteous, holier-than-thou "follow me" Posts. I've probably gotten more complaints about that string than any ever since this site's inception.

Juni, you do not have to be subtle or cryptic; MZ already threatened to leave and take Members with her. She was very vocal and explicit. Ultimately, anyone who feels more at home elsewhere will be missed, but I feel that people should follow their Hearts, wherever they are led.

I agree Randall!!!


By the way..hey Cult peeps..STOP WITH ALL THE LAME POEMS...

What is with that? Do you think it makes you appear more spiritual or intelligent? NO...it actually makes you look like some drooling beast from a bad Disney Cartoon that can't do anything but rattle off rhymes because real thought processes elude them. LOL...

I mean, hey it's cute that you can write poetry to convey some of your angst, but for a group trying to recruit followers you may be leaving some behind that do not SEE the innuendo behind your prose.

Indeed, Randall, I will not. Nor anyone else for that matter. Neither do I need your protection. I am quite capable of thinking for myself and protecting myself. But I thank you for the gracious offer. If others feel the need for it, that might worry me a bit but so be it. Who am I to tell others what to think or do or rely upon? In addition, I promise you that no one "takes" me anywhere I do not wish to go. But I realize that this site is not a democracy and if I'm not welcome due to reasons of insanity, by all means - ban away!

"lame poems"? "drooling beasts"? "cult peeps"? "real thought processes elude them"? This passes for funny? C'mon pid, you can come up with something more intelligent and subtle than that.

Cult is strange and powerful word. I wonder if we should be throwing it about willy-nilly like this? I remember when a few people called LindaLand a cult. Of course great offense was taken at that accusation. As well it should have been. I recall it was determined that everyone here was an independent thinker type. Has something changed?

1 week or so ago Librasparkle responded to a couple of my posts with "I'm a big tink fan" and "you are the woman". Of course I don't take any of that sort of thing to heart but I find it strange that I went from that to a mindless, babbling, dependent cult "comrade" in so short a time. Maybe I shouldn't take the latest accusations to heart either. Maybe I shouldn't take anything here seriousely anymore?

Why the hysteria? Why the witch hunts? Why the drama? Why the big hullabaloo?

Personally, I don't care which person is which identity or anything else concerning the Follow Me drama. I don't care if there really is an Iranian guy or isn't. I just couldn't stomach any portion of the first GURU Post or the accompanying recruitment procedures. Follow me??? Indeed! But all that aside, the "talking with Linda" part was enough to tell me it was total BS. That's all I needed to see.

Why did it bother you? Not why did you disagree - why did it bother you?
We discuss physical immortality and astral travel and astrology and ufos and God only knows what with a straight face and that comment of all things bothered you? Heck, back in the old days we all used to talk about how Linda was "looking over" the site and in spiritual contact with us.

Huh?

I'm a total Tink fan... wtf?

I took issue with daf, MZ, and orchid. I haven't taken any issues with you.

I apologize to you, Tink, if you feel I have attacked you in any way. Maybe you were more inclined to believe in their little game, but I never assumed you were one of the ring leaders.

For that matter, I didn't really know you were feelin' it until last night. Well, and right now. I really had no idea that you considered yourself *one of them*. I've assumed through this whole thing that you were one of the ones being lied to (as we all were), not one of the liars.

People don't like to be lied to and conned, Tink. MZ and daf have been lying to the people here and conning them.

How can there be truth beneath the deception?

If their messages were worth sharing, they wouldn't have had to deceive to get people to hear it.

Yeah, I know, I know. I did a double take too when I read it. www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/000698-3.html
thank you btw.

When so many use words like "cult", yes, I do feel hurt. And surprised too. As I mentioned, a few times in the past certain knowflakes have expressed concerns that LindaLand had a cultish air. In fact, once upon a time a whole bunch of them got together and started a new site just for that reason. And so I didn't expect the same accusations from the accused, if you know what I mean.

I patiently listened to Randall's thoughts last night and reread them this morning. I see no proof. I see conjecture, to be sure, but no proof. And accusations of this sort should be backed up with more than a "I couldn't stomach your post". (With all due respect to Randall of course as he is as entitled to his opinion as anybody. More so, in fact, as it is his site.)

I do not belong to any group. That is such an ugly word. The thought of it alone makes me uncomfortable. I belong to myself and to my God. But if someone I think might have wisdom happens to pass by, I listen.
