please respect your family by not complaining about the process of council. it hurts when u spend so much energy reaching concensus, and then your peers ridicule the process without participating. i believe that the majority of people who go to council do so out of the love in their hearts.
For those of you who did not hear me the first time, I believe the entire division clownshow/spring clownshow silliness which has entangled itself in the site selection process should be abandoned in favor of picking a National Forest at random.
Although I will agree with the last part of this, that they shouldn't be bitching about it if they don't take part in it, I definitely disagree with the first part, and so should everyone else. If people have concerns about the way it happens, they most definitely SHOULD speak up about it. Since when did the Rainbow family turn into a dictatorship where dissent wasn't tolerated?
And since i have been up since 3:00am, Lemme rant on against tgc. WhoWhatever clownshow decided to have a business meeting that forced people to choose between attending or having Thanksgiving with the folks & eating Mom's pecan pie was either snorting goofballs, or just plain stoopid.
of course dissent is tolerated. i tolerate it so much and then i just want to tell people to stop complaining if u arent going to be there to address it. easy to complain when u arent among the 1s rearranging the rest of their lives to participate in it. to some people its just a joke...
Regardless of what you say you tolerate... You just told everyone quite clearly, that if they complain about the process of council, they are disrespecting the family... That is a bullshit low down rotten attempt to manipulate people by offering them guilt. Was your last calling the catholic church?
I still say.. Mmmmm.. pecan-pie... cause it was mentioned... but it'sah starting to smell a little bit of burnt aggro hippie drama. So lets all forget that burning part(unless it deals with the colour green), cause we're all entitled to our opinions, and focus on the more pressing matter, which kitchen is going to cook the pecan-pie?
i agree with tom of the north.......sub in the word ''country'' for the word ''family'' and you have a quote from Castro! lose the pecan pie and eat some humble pie
Tell ya what...I just made a fresh strawberry pie. (berries from the garden) Why don't y'all come on over, have some pie and coffee and talk.(counsel) Maybe we can come to some agreement. (consensus) nyuk, nyuk Zen
Pie and coffee?!?! Please tell me it's organic! That sounds like a blissful place to have a counsel.. maybe we might even come together for a big Aum without the high holies pulling out their decoder rings. I'll so hitch it to this one.
if i am ever allowed into the US again i will be visiting a rainbow family gathering to see what all the fuss is about..
dictatorship, castro, catholic church? sounds like peeps r just trying 2 b hurtful instead of helpful. jabbs aside, if u gotta problem with council, bring it there. i too dont always like the way the process works. so i do discuss it there. and will again. i didnt start this thread to dictate. it was 2 express how its better to participate than complain. but im not feeling the love, just animosity.
Yea, the berries are orgazmic. The crust isn't but it is a whole wheat Pate Brisee. Been called "high holy" more than once but nobody has offered me a ring...yet. ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have NO fucking idea..... Zen
Trust me, you wouldn't want to squeeze into the high holy underwear either.. rainbows.. with holy underwear?!? They're not to flattering anyways.. I still think the rings should be dupped out with the whirly rings, at least we can hear them coming down the trail. High Holies Activate! All this thread is missing now is a Brother Bill... "man, have you seen those drones!?! Their spying on us man.. the government! It should be illegal but their spying on us man".
I don't think Bodhi posts here, only on AGR....shame. Wait!?! I'm having a deja vu from another thread.... Zen
Wow , Peace and love! come on people LOL Just can not wait till there is another gathering out my way. *fingers crossed* there will be another one soon.
