He had posted there under specific warning from the moderator, and patiently answered some questions posters had for him.<br /><br />There are others, however, who constantly prove the fact that it is impossible to have any sort of meaningful conversation with a cult zombie. All you get is an adamant repetition of all of the cult's official positions (and it seems they have one for anything and everything that one might ask). This makes any sort of real relationship impossible, unless you are also a cult zombie and enjoy repeating the internal cliches back and forth.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-65147673766139410392017-06-16T06:32:14.802-07:002017-06-16T06:32:14.802-07:00We know Bob had dreams, but recently I had a dream...We know Bob had dreams, but recently I had a dream about Bob…<br /><br />I usually wake up too early, turn on the radio and fall back to sleep. The other day, I had a dream about sitting in a circle of people, with Bob on my left. Whatever was happening, Bob said something to me like, <i>I wouldn’t answer any questions about Christmas.</i> I replied something like, <i>It depends on what the question is.</i> Then I woke up. The radio was finishing a morning devotional, and the topic was, <i>Balaam the Hireling Prophet.</i><br />That afternoon, I was asked by a high school teacher to do a voiceover for an audio/video presentation. I went to the school and was given a script – the first page had to do with <i>facts about Christmas…</i><br />Before I start imagining that to be a divine call and go picking a name for yet another new COG (YANCOG? Sounds okay) I’d better keep to the tradition – join an existing COG and get disfellowshipped or become bitter and leave and discredit their leadership.Hosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285219921252563944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-89819507083288747502017-06-16T00:39:47.573-07:002017-06-16T00:39:47.573-07:00Yeah sure, God will judge those exposing evil, but...Yeah sure, God will judge those exposing evil, but not the ones committing the evil.<br />Typical minister talk.
