This is about the level of Barry's mental functioning these days: I took checker training at least a decade before I got on the Internet in 1994. Boy, that's some foresight I had, isn't it?
(And I never checked anybody because I never got certified; something, can't remember what, got in the way of my attending the certification appointments, as I've said here a number of times. Gee, not much of a story in that, is there?) The rest of Barry's post is just more of his poisonous drivel, proving my point about the real purpose of his "spiritual experiences" rant: to give him a chance to demonize the folks he doesn't like. You'd think, with all his vaunted creativity, he could at least think up a different rant instead of one he's used over and over for that same purpose. BTW, Barry, how's your novel about the Cathars coming along? > I reiterate what I said earlier: Barry isn't interested in others' spiritual > experiences, he's interested in having something with which to browbeat the > people he doesn't like--even though he has to use the same rap he's hauled > out so many times before. That's all this is (as his comments demonstrate). Barry reiterates what he said earlier. Judy is too terrified to ever even *try* to write creatively, because she hasn't got an ounce of either creativity *or* writing talent in her. She writes like an old, repressed schoolmarm, and let's face it...who would want to hear what she has to say about *being* an old, repressed schoolmarm? :-) Here's an idea for a story for you, Jude. Why don't you write about what it was like to "take the TM checker training" course, presumably so that you could "argue better" in your endless, petty arguments on the Internet, and then *never check anyone's meditation*. Surely there's a story or two in *that*. :-)
