In your situation there is a huge difference, in that the group is not local to your community. Actually, I don't really see the comparison, that would be like me hanging with the Pope and then expecting a phone call from the Vatican. Still, I would think that at least one person from the whole should reach out, there is some degree of failure there on their part. Let me also add that you did not just fail to show up the next day while recording his speeches which would/should trigger a concern as to your well being, I would think.
Your simplistic interpretation of my approach is superficial, without depth. Failure to show any concern for someone who becomes part of a spiritual family in a local community church is a reflection of the congregates ability to live up to the spiritual tenets that they purport to espouse. I would expect, after months of playing/singing for the choir and receiving expressions of gratitude, for gratuitousness and ability, from attendees that someone would ask someone else what happened to the player/singer, with the reply being, I don't know we need to call and see if all is well. It is very simple really, especially when you consider that the congregation (not an organization) may only consist of a hundred members or less. So your judgment on the matter of my judgment is incorrect, partially because I had failed to initially present the related and relevant facts. It is years ago now anyway and I haven't any affiliations nor need of any so it doesn't matter, but if I did I would rather belong to a family instead of an organization. Part of the problem is the lack of instilling that sense of family within the spiritual community. They take your money, your time and service and then you return to being a number, not a member. I personally expect more from a group, any group, in which I would spend my time engaging in spirituality. This is one area where collective mentality would make a significant difference. As you say, we are one, at least we should be! Thank You! I rest my case. There will be a short recess and then the jury will decide the verdict, unless Judge Judy calls in, and now a word from our sponsors. Need a new car? Call gruff's auto! By the way, orn, is geezzz short for gee wiz or Jesus? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
