We met at 13 and we've been together ever since. Seen it all with not an angry word save my night out with the guys, nagging her for a few extra bucks for pool, (as I'm not as good as I used to be and the price has gone up at the local pub).

Other than the VietNam stint and a couple other bizarro-type emergencies we've not been apart for more than a day or two. However, before her menopause I tended to sleep in a different room - the monthly crankiness (and nasty odor) was better avoided by less physical contact. There's some Biblical admonitions in there, too. It's ain't to be around that time of the month.

She's a good business partner.

A good mother to our children.

She's easy on the eyes.

She chose me to the end of time :-)

So, true friendship is contingent on your own needs being met and doesn't extend to forgiving friends their failings. True friendship continues to sound like mindless, egotistical drivel to me. Most of what you list as something a "true friend" ought do are things any sane person ought do for anyone at all.
Considering what this thread is about I feel this should be at the upper portion of each new thread page:

Sorry 'pal', but if I am a true friend to someone and they screw me over they will not get away with it. I am developing powerful martial arts of the mind that will indeed take care of them. I am not a nice guy to those who screw me over, period. Now, if you feel I should just humbly let people kick me around and take me for a fool that's YOUR tough luck!

I've encountered Dan's scoffing skeptical attitude before. I could tell how he would react.

You see I deliberately asked Dan if he agreed with me that Christians who condemn the teachings of the Buddha without even reading them are idiots and he agreed. He was too dim to realize that by doing so I set him up to agree with me that those who condemn the Secret without even reading it are idiots. Oh, he got all huffy when he realized I used him to checkmate Block-head. It was too late. NONE OF YOU could list three major things you felt were wrong with The Secret philosophy yet you blindly condemn it and tend to call it worthless.

So I knew how Dan was going to react and so I didn't bother to enter the link.

He had shown no gratitude WHATSOEVER for the links I had already provided. No, I did not feel like being nice to a narrow-minded, science-brainwashed scoffer.

Lie to everyone here and say you would do all of that for me!

Well, I've decided to keep moving the post until all those who responded on this thread address it.

Look, I recently had someone I felt was a good friend betray my friendship. I had helped his father, my landlord, and then his father died and his son chose to go back on his word and betray my friendship. I was forced into an emergency use of The Secret to (((INTEND))) a new place to live. Not only did I get everything I intended with The Secret I got a lot of extra wonderful things I never even dreamed I would get! So The Secret does indeed work for those who properly apply it. The very house I am typing this post in is proof positive of that!

For the sake of the memory of his father I refused to use 'mind-martial arts' to destroy his son. I was forced to become stronger than ever before. From now on, ANYONE who betrays my sincere friendship can expect the full force of my newly developed martial arts to explode into their 'Judas' lives. I don't intend to put up with the ingratitude of the wicked for much longer.

Masaru became my pal and best buddy. Driving him around and taking him for walks drained the very life out of me, but that smile on his face was put there by me. I would point him out to people and say: "THAT'S THE KING!" and Masaru would smile. He was a very cool 93 year-old guy. He's wearing my martial arts jacket, the socks and shoes I bought him and he's holding my bamboo staff cut from that very mountain forest.

Re: WHAT IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP?

Look, I feel you people need to know something about me and why I am here in this forum:

A friend will be reluctant to tell me an important truth if he feels it might damage our friendship.

An enemy will indeed enjoy throwing the truth at me with the intent to hurt, but I will get that important truth I need and in the process become stronger and more rugged in enduring important truths.

I do not post in this forum to be congratulated. I am here to present my CURRENT beliefs with the hopes that others, wiser than I, can point out things I may be overlooking.

I deliberately tell you people the truth as I see it, without cushioning it, like a slap in the face so that you will indeed do the same to me. I am always looking to upgrade my current beliefs.

That’s the major difference between myself and the rest of you people in the forums I have posted. None of you care about upgrading your current beliefs as I do. I am borderline obsessed with becoming more successful in manifesting from pure imagination into corporeal reality and so I am intent on upgrading EVERYTHING I currently believe in.

Anything I currently believe that I cannot properly defend in the face of counterpoint criticism MUST be upgraded. I have little to no qualms about casually tossing out ANY belief I currently have when more truth is revealed to me

Your list seems fair enough to me. No objections here, except that I think that you mistyped the last one. I think that what you actually meant is: "A true friend will not take advantage of your kindness" rather than "A true friend will not allow you to take advantage of his kindness".

Your belittlement and castigation of the members of this forum (as, for example, brainwashed idiots), on the other hand, is quite a lot more objectionable. You group all of us into a single category, whereas we are all unique individuals with different responses to you. Some members of this forum haven't even said a single thing to you, yet you condemn them merely by virtue of them being members of a board where other people have challenged or criticised you. This is pretty unreasonable of you. I suggest that you think a little more carefully about what you write. Some people join boards not because they agree with the prevailing views and want to fit in, but because they want to engage with and challenge the prevailing views. You can't assume anything about anyone just because they are the member of a particular board. Personally I'm quite willing to consider the evidence in the links that you provided. For example, I watched the first few episodes of the UFO YouTube link that you posted and I found it to be quite compelling. I'm also quite willing to consider as a highly plausible possibility that JFK was assassinated because he made it clear that he would directly address and combat particular shadowy elitist forces who sought to control the world from behind the scenes. Please, Sid, don't assume that all of us are necessarily against you. Personally, I just want to discover the truth, by whatever means possible, and I don't mind who it comes through. If you can point me to the truth, then well and good. I won't accept it without critical thought, though.

Don't tell people to do their own research when you quote from a source in your posts, Sid. Name the source when you quote. It's simple manners.



-Rennie to Tomas-
You are so friggin clueless.

-tomas-
(That I can recall) Over the years, been to Dallas six-seven separate times, on four of those stopovers, had gone to Dealey Plaza (named after a Masonic personage complete with obelisk) for the specific purpose of "investigating for myself" what went down that day in 1963.

I was in grade school, the principal's voice came over the intercom, he said a few words about the president (in uncertain terms) -- we were let out for recess -- by happenstance, my best-buddy was named Dallas, we mulled around and finally sat down on the merry-go-round and watched about 10 kids dancing in a big circle-motion going counterclockwise holding hands (kinda like a ring around the rosey) only they were singing "President Kennedy is de-ad, President Kennedy is de-ad" over and over and over maybe five minutes.

And Dallas' older brother, Darrell, was one of the singer-circle-participants!

To this day, whenever Dallas, John Kennedy, Jackie, Caroline, John Jr., is thought about or in conversation whatever, it all goes back to that November 1963 day at grade school recess .. President Kennedy is de-ad (voice inflection on de-ad)


-Rennie-
I spoke about the conspiracy because IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED to the fact that it is now more difficult than EVER BEFORE to make and sustain true friendships.

-tomas-
The 'big ones' will never be solved. By design, all who seriously investigate (with public fanfare) end up dead in a circumstantial way .. so why bother rattlin' them bones in somebody elses closet?



-Rennie-
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU COULD NOT SEE THAT?????

-tomas-
Even if I were the president of the U-S-of-A, I wouldn't touch the Kennedy Klan. This includes Teddy's 1969 Midnight swim in Massachusetts where he wouldn't open a door for a lady .. underwater.



-Rennie-
Sheesh. go back to sleep

That's what Teddy Kennedy did, he went off to sleep the drunk (and the conscience) away.

You've apparently got it backwards. I demand this of myself when I deal with people in general. I don't expect others I casually meet to adhere to the criteria I set for myself. I am a true friend to all who cross my path in life, BUT if anyone screws me over I go on the friggin warpath Spiritually. It's a whole new way of fighting that I intend to elaborate upon very soon.

I've learned the hard way that if I am to be a true friend to ANYONE I must not allow them to take advantage of my kindness. If I do the friendship will eventually end in disaster when I finally stop allowing them to take advantage of my kindness; and that always eventually happens. Once people start taking advantage of my kindness they tend to take more and more and more till I finally get fed up and stop being their 'patsy'. That's when the friendship tends to go sour.

If you start a relationship being people's willing slave you had better continue to be people's willing slave or the relationship eventually goes sour.

Re: WHAT IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP?

I'd like to make a statement here and knowing me as you do I would not state this unless it I see it as the truth:

You can tell the quality of a person by how well he or she handles uncomfortable truth. So far Dan has indeed impressed me and I just wanted to let you all know that I am impressed by Dan.

I don't want to waste time. My brutal honesty tends to turn the unwitting hypocrites against me. I don't dare be brutally honest in my physical world and the pressure of the imposed hypocrisy I must use to get along with hypocrites who have little respect for their bodies sometimes gets to me. I'm into truth. Most are into disrespecting themselves and lying hypocrisy. I belittle you people because I feel you BRUTALLY need to know that you are being played for suckers by a system that is deliberately poisoning your bodies and your minds. It is because of the psychological manipulation that it is now more difficult than ever to establish and maintain true friendships.

People like Dan are so science-brainwashed that he hardly realizes he really doesn't do much thinking for himself. He allows science to do his thinking for him. That's exactly the way they want you people to be. If atheist/agnostic science says it's true they want you to blindly agree. If atheist/agnostic science says it's all 'bunk' they want you to blindly agree with that as well. Watch this:

Do tell me, Dan. How do you feel about psychic phenomenon?

When I first came here as Renaissance I posted and things were going well until Dan began to turn people against me. Then people slowly started to proverbially slap me around and I slapped back and here we are today. See for yourselves that I speak the truth:

Re: WHAT IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP?

Post by Renaissance »

One of the reasons I slap you with the truth is so that when you slap back I become more rugged. Also, I want to see my improvement in how far I will allow myself to sink back to what I used to be. So far I am doing rather well. I could be doing better, but I celebrate my victories. I have infinity to go, but I've come a long way and I'm certain that Dan would honestly say so...if he was honest. I'm confident all those who knew me way back when can also testify that I have indeed improved as a person...if they choose to be honest.

The rest of you don't have much of a clue how much better of a person I have become. Oh, I'll openly admit that for about the last couple of weeks this swimmer's ear infection has brought out the worst in me. I've still got a couple of days left of using those confoundit antibiotic ear drops. I'll be a much nicer person after this swimmer's ear infection goes completely away. I had one hell of a rotten Thanksgiving and day after thanksgiving. I'll bet you people bareless noticed.

When I had that recent battle with Busted-brain Broken-head I was EXTREMELY frustrated that I had attracted this swimmer's ear problem. I took full responsibility for attracting it and could not get rid of it without going to the doctor. No matter how hard I tried I could not use The Secret to cure myself and that put me in a grim mood. I took it out on Cracked-brain. At one point Dan said that I had been doing well before and that I should essentially check myself. He was right! The last thing I needed to do was indulge in extreme negativity while I was sick and so I pulled back.

Thanks Dan for the kind way you essentially pointed out that I was reverting to the nasty person I used to be

This was what I have been trying to point out. You make all these lofty claims about this pansy-assed New Age pseudo-philosophy, and then you proceed to do the very opposite of what it says you should be doing right in the same asinine post! You cannot seem to grasp what a joke you are.

Of course, I say this not to be mean, but to make you that much tougher and more rugged...

You also have a tendency to have verbal diarrhea. You will quote entire previous posts in new posts, two or three times, for some arcane reason. Repetition does not strengthen your position - it weakens it. This is just a fact. It is true for everybody. You are adding over 6 posts per day, with maybe 1 post's worth of material. Try to be less verbose and maybe your point - whatever it is - would be more effective if not more coherent.

Either list the three main things you disagree with about The Secret or I'm just going to skim over everything you write without barely reading any of it. You are up to NO GOOD! Any fool can see that. You enjoyed attempting to throw me into rage when I was sick. Thus you prove that you are a low quality person. I don't need the deraged opinions of low quality people. You are a liar and a trickster who has been caught and exposed.

Unless you list the three main things you disagree with about The Secret I really don't want to have any discourse with you again.

Okay, I will openly reveal this to you: I'm still refining the message for verification, but I was told I attracted and manifested the swimmer's ear infection to help meet a pre-established quota of suffering before I manifest greater and more wonderful things. Supposedly, the currency of The Spirit of Nature is SUFFERING for doing good. This swimmer's ear infection comes under the Spiritual heading of 'suffering for doing good'. By enduring the suffering the best I can I fill up a pre-arranged quota of suffering required to open the doors to greater and more powerful manifestations. Suffering for doing good is considered sacred by the Spirit of Nature.

When I first came here as Renaissance I posted and things were going well until Dan began to turn people against me. Then people slowly started to proverbially slap me around and I slapped back and here we are today.
You did this all by yourself. And nobody is against you. I for one am just pointing out when you are being silly. Which is most of the time.
When I had that recent battle with Busted-brain Broken-head I was EXTREMELY frustrated that I had attracted this swimmer's ear problem. I took full responsibility for attracting it and could not get rid of it without going to the doctor. No matter how hard I tried I could not use The Secret to cure myself and that put me in a grim mood. I took it out on Cracked-brain.
This was what I have been trying to point out. You make all these lofty claims about this pansy-assed New Age pseudo-philosophy, and then you proceed to do the very opposite of what it says you should be doing right in the same asinine post! You cannot seem to grasp what a joke you are.

Of course, I say this not to be mean, but to make you that much tougher and more rugged...

You also have a tendency to have verbal diarrhea. You will quote entire previous posts in new posts, two or three times, for some arcane reason. Repetition does not strengthen your position - it weakens it. This is just a fact. It is true for everybody. You are adding over 6 posts per day, with maybe 1 post's worth of material. Try to be less verbose and maybe your point - whatever it is - would be more effective if not more coherent.
If you study this post of block-head you will see a real loser as far as The Spirit of Nature is concerned. Note how all he cares about is to point out what he sees as 'wrong'. It's a safe bet that's also how he lives his dailiy life; focusing primarily on what is wrong. So, according to the Universal Law of Attraction, more and more of what is 'wrong' will continue to manifest in his miserable life. There is no escaping the Universal Law of Attraction.

You keep repeating this silly ultimatum. What does it get you?

And why don't you just put me on your ignore list?
You are up to NO GOOD! Any fool can see that.
And you aren't just any fool. You are a very special kind of fool.
You enjoyed attempting to throw me into rage when I was sick.
Your ear infection was all my fault. I admit it - you caught me. I made a voodoo doll of you and stuck a pin in its ear.
You are a liar and a trickster who has been caught and exposed.
I haven't lied to you or anyone else. If you think I am trying to trick you, you are some kind of paranoid buffoon. But yes, you did catch me at my voodoo.
