The standard liberal preoccupations rise to the surface again.

Even the mafia knew how to keep their dead bodies underwater better than this.

" If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken OUT OF YOUR MIND for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things"

a.k.a.: leave the Church.
I want to fly!

I love this place.

Well, then, one wonders why this has arisen again and again in the Brethren's talks. "Liberal preoccupations" on the part of the GAs, perhaps?
