I think blobism makes it hard to learn forgiveness. Your brother
cannot be your guide to truth, your savior, or any of the rest
of it if he is a psychotic delusion.

According to Ken, whose teaching Gary endorses, we have no
value to the Father, who is quite unaware of our existence.

obviously fictional characters and obviously fictional to all most

deborah:I like you just fine, Sheryl, believe it or not. I don't like the
constant self promotion on this ng. But that's just me. I've bitten
my tongue for over a year now. Finally spoke my mind. I don't like
the ads that any other self-promoters post here anymore than I like
yours. But I'm not the whole ng, and I don't speak for the whole ng.
Listen to what you want to hear.

sv: well yeah, I get ya. so don't read my postings that start with
"thursday news" or "acimgather news" then we'll both be happy -- I do LOVE
you! sheryl

deborah:Why do you even speak in terms of "fans" if you don't see yourself
as
an ACIM celebrity?

celebrity? fan is just a word meaning, thinking fondly of someone, in that
sense I am a fan of lee, nancy, sharon, well hell the list goes on :) sheryl

Why do you even speak in terms of "fans" if you don't see yourself as
an ACIM celebrity?
