On Shunning
by Sunspot inthe command of men to practice shunning is cruel and heartless, as we all know.
it tears people up from the heart and hurts everyone involved.. the rigidity and "uptightness" of believing that only you have the "right way" to god, and that being warm and cordial to someone who has left your religion, or attending another church service is going to "cost you" (god will getcha for that---or the elders will) in some way....is so self-limiting.. we all have the right to the pursuit of happiness and to find a faith that renews and motivates us to be our best.
being humans and experiencing growth all the while we are "here", what may be just the "ticket" for us personally at one stage in our life---may not fulfill the same needs a number of years later.. it is not fair that a belief system ( or religious leaders) rather than being a comfort or a teacher any longer, should have the right to keep a "hold" on any person because they choose to move on to another form of worship to the same god.. this flies in the face of what we hold dear in this country and in most others, being forever captive to men who believe that they have the right or the power to penalize ones for the rest of their lives for walking away from their religion.

The Bourne Supremacy
by Corvin inmary and i have been robert ludlum fans for years and have read everything he's written.
the bourne series is one of my favs, and i forgave director dave liman for completely deviating from ludlum's original plot in the bourne identity because the film was so cool.
mary and i were excited to go and see the new bourne film, the bourne supremacy, and were a bit dissapointed.

How To Know If You're in a Cult!
by metatron inyou don't need to read a book or consult a psychological expert.
it's all very simple.. ask yourself: if i refer to this group as a "cult", could i be excommunicated or disfellowshipped or expelled?.
have the leaders of this group instructed me not to refer to it as a "cult"?.
