    All religious experience is custom made. That is the ultimate lesson of Joseph Smith. Conformity to autocratic demands may be the essence experience for the unmindful.

    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        Except when they face "the dude". That's why you haven't heard me using the word talking to you.

          You seem not to be so concerned about your appearance. If someone is going to help me look my best, it would n't be just any one. It must be Oscar de la renta. And I would agree to follow his "autocratic" demands.

            "my appearance" is internal, and cannot be examined a la a mode from Paris. Leading comes from Allah and all others a re fraudulent before the one and only true God.

              Your satire style sounds awfully familiar. But I should let you enjoy the CUF provided anonymity.

              I am happy for you that your built-in authority can manage your internal and external businesses, but I, on the other hand, am in favor of expertism. Can't take the risk of messing up the life I have been given the chance to live just for once.

                Throughout history, Iran/Persia has provided the world with people willing to break a rule or two.

                Cyrus the Great.
                Omar Khayyam.

                  It's a relief that three people above me can not read your post!

                  You are an excellent ego booster by the way. Thank you

                  Here is a solo song for you Solon.

                  PS: The poet is rahy moayeri and I am a little doubtful that English translater has done justice to the the original song.

                    You risk relying upon "experts" as opposed to God's wisdom he provides to you. As for me and my kin, I rely upon God's inspiration, not the foibles of men. Internally, I claim no authority but for myself.

                    You Shia rely upon more than the Prophet and in that you err.

                      You claim to know everything and need nothing. Wise indeed!

                      • The relief society president just texted my wife. They will not give up.

                        RS president is asking her if she is out of town for the summer even though she hasn't been in 5 months.

                        My wife sent me this response, which she probably won't actually send to the RS president:

                        No. I am in town. After such a long absence, I should think you'd have realized by now that I've gone inactive. I know you have a job to do and people to report to, but I think it's best if you just leave this one alone. Take care.

                          This kind of thing bothers me because when I stopped going to Church nobody really pestered me to come back. If everybody else gets begged to come back to Church except me, I'm a little miffed.

                          • When the RSP asked my wife about coming to church, my wife simply told her no she would not be going.

                            Instead of keeping them guessing telling them straight seemed to work well for us.

                            We haven't been bothered much since (except for the missionaries which they told us was a random get to know the neighbors visit.)
