Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00254)

Is this funny for everyone here? 
I'm not sure why the moderator is passively ok with this and even 
allows you to showoff your website. Is he still alive? I don't know 
about others but I'm starting to get tired of deleting your messages 
from my inbox.
This crap is not Theosophy, this is just bored goofing around that 
spoils things for others, and makes the new comer puke on the whole 
group and leave.  
The Unity of Mind is lacking in here already, I don't think we need 
to see this nonsense anymore.

Chuck, why don't you try to be like Milarepa and turn things around, 
become the first Enlightened man in modern times to abandon the path 
of sorcery and black magic?   
Think about it Chuck, you will increase the membership, peoples 
participation and get all our votes if you choose to run and 
promulgate the DOCTRINE of the Buddhas! 
What do you think? :)
