Thanks for the advice and your honest comments. I'm sure there is value to what you've said.
This board offers Three Degrees of Glory, so to speak. I love and appreciate how I'm able to mock the temple down in the Telestial Forum under the rules Shades has set up. My private corner is open to the public! Please allow me the privilege and freedom to do that! It is my right as a human being to express my feelings and thoughts about the temple in any way or manner I see fit. Indeed, I've gone from one extreme to the other -- having been formerly very devoted to the temple rituals and the symbolism associated especially with the Endowment. But my eyes have been opened and I have come to learn that it's a C U L T practice and mind controlling religious rites to keep order and maintain obedience by all those who prescribe to the ritual. Thus, I want to do my part to hurt it. I want to expose it in my own way as a contribution to the earth as one who has lived on it and experienced what I have so far done.
You are welcome to peruse my threads in the Celestial Forum. I seem to be able to go up there and type away and express things without much interruption and I don't mind that. I have things in mind and I want to make a splash! I have something special planned for idol worshipping Latter-day Saints. The Church is evolving and changing and it's happening rather mysteriously right under everyone's noses and they don't even know it.
Thank you for recognizing my contributions in the Book of Abraham as it relates to Egyptology. I really don't care about getting published and that doesn't move me. I have said what needs to be said on those websites down in my signature and will say more as I feel moved to do so.
Welcome to the board and feel free to say whatever you like. I'm not going to deny that I've behaved like an ass on the board, many times. But it's been so much fun! It's part of living in the NOW and letting yourself be who you are and express yourself in the moment. If people don't like me they don't have to click the link and can chose to ignore me. I'm okay with that. But, I truly believe that I bring a special kind of spice to the board and my input is sometimes very much needed.
There. I guess that will do. I may sit down now.
