Blaine:
Don't take me wrong, I am not building a case
to leave TT. I am just complaining,
hoping someone
will take note and learn from it.
Your additional
clarifications are mucho appreciated,
too. I hope to
continue holding to the iron rod, as I continue
to grope my way through the cloud in the dark
and
dreary wilderness, despite the heat I
get from those
in the great and
spacious building. (:>)
Judy:
Soooo Blaine you are holding to the iron rod
which is
Joseph Smith + distorted scripture + some
spirit that
is leading you amongst those of us on TT who
are
"seeking thrills, excitement, and riches have been lured
into the 'great and spacious building.'
where we find
entrapment, defeat, tarnished treasures, and
great
sorrow? Interesting...
Blaine:
My reward will be to know that
the allegory (?) I am
alluding to was based upon reality, not
fiction.
Judy:
What allegory? Is this
all?
Blaine:
Being on TT has that effect on
one. You probably
understand that better than I do,
right? I never went
on a Proselyting mission, so I need the heat
to catch up.
I may be suffering from a compulsive need to
test myself
in the crucible of fire, or maybe I just need
something
to exercise my brain.
Judy:
Why would you want to stay at something that
is this
excruciating by choice, especially when you
say it is not
enjoyable for
you?
Blaine:
Either way, I am in it, and plan to
stay. If TT'rs
can dish out heat, they should
be able to take it.
That's the axiom we went by when I was
growing up.
My older brother was expecially good at
dishing it out,
so it is not entirely new to me despite not
having been
on TT for all that
long. For the most part, it
is fun more
often than not. But, yes, mutual
support is where it is
all at.
Judy:
Now this is confusing - is TT a blessing or
is it a curse?
To the Mormons that
is.
