Rant and Idea about JOS (again)
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:07 pm
So I recently found some very good and basic information in regards to meditation and building willpower. I felt the strong desire to post the information on JOS as it was very insightful and gave tips on how to begin to know yourself- something I believe to be vital to not only spiritual workings but happiness in general. I deleted any names, links, and references in the article because, as some of you know, they get pissy easily and will ban you almost instantaneously.
Apparently, one of the High Priests (I swear they are all 14 year olds... but that would be offensive to those of 14) has impaired reading comprehension and didn't understand what the article was about. I am currently arguing/debating with him as to why he is wrong and what the article is actually saying- but they can't fathom the idea of being corrected or wrong. Likely, I will be banned again for daring to disagree. These HPs must only be selected for their inability to admit defeat, because they sure as hell don't have any other sense.
Anyway, as for my idea, which is stepping on the line of stupid, possibly crossing it, is a way to...."infiltrate" them, for lack of a better word. It would basically consist of a group of people creating fake emails and identities to post positive spiritual information rather than the hate, rage, and lust for power they spew and brainwash their followers with. My primary concern is with the youth, I was one of them and I was head over heels for nearly everything JOS said. The thing is I don't know anyone who would be willing or patient enough to actually do that.
I suppose one of my problems is that I meddle too much, a fatal flaw, I'm sure. I don't necessarily want to "convert" anyone in that cult to a different way of thinking, I just want to present them with information as many won't bother going outside the site and forum for their information. So to post inside the forum itself may incite people, especially the youth, to search and dig for knowledge instead of just gobble up anything the HPs say (which sounds a lot like the fundamental theists they all claim to despise so much....). One of my biggest pet peeves is ignorance, willful ignorance is worse. They refuse to seek knowledge and choose to be completely blind to it willingly. I don't care if they accept the information, but to throw it aside without a glance is what irks me the most.
