Authoritarian vs Authoritative - TWO FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT WAYS OF BEING.
I'd forgotten the concepts for decade(s). WOW!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNDAMENTAL TO MY PRIMAL HORROR AT THE "CHURCH."
"Church's" VERY EXISTENCE IS THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST.
"Church's" VERY PURPOSE IS THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST / GOD (the Divine Spirit within,
Humanity, Universal Love, Compassion, Intuition, Vision, Revelation, Brotherhood, Wisdom, Initiative,
Constructive Creativity, CONSCIENCE, TRUTHFULNESS...),
that is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER... to be subordinated to ANYTHING; THAT IS, THAT IS,
THAT IS, THAT IS... CRUCIFIED BY BEING EVER SUBORDINATED TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE!!!!!! To....
Creed
Dogma
Rules
Hierarchy
Tradition
"Beliefs...."
Elders.....
Yet the very Purpose of the Church, evident in it's behavior is EXACTLY to
subordinate the Individual to these things. Oh My God. Oh My God. Oh My God.
How can you SUBORDINATE God? You can only Kill God OR Worship / Submit to God -
ABOVE ALL ELSE - SUPERordinate TO ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL, ALL.... ELSE.

Obama Breaks Down in Tears at Dorothy Height's Funeral
Posted on 30 April 2010
WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama broke down in tears at the funeral of 'Godmother' of American civil rights movement Dr. Dorothy Height in Washington today.
Obama was weeping openly as he watched the service for Dr. Height who changed the course of history by standing up for the rights of the Blacks in America along with her comrade-at-arms Rosa Parks.
Mr Obama watched as Dr Height's coffin was carried into the cathedral, and said he was here because of her as he took the podium to deliver the eulogy for Dr Height today.
The US president was joined by his wife Michelle, and Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the service.
Dr Height died last week at 98 after a long illness. She was a pioneering voice of the civil rights movement who remained active and outspoken well into her 90s.
Dr Height led the National Council of Negro Women for decades and marched with the Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
"You're NO whackjob" the male TX Teacher angrily rebuked me in front of his students.
for 12 minutes or so all the whats, whys, wherefores about the Vigil I got the usual
question - "Has President Obama ever come out to talk to you?" My standard
reply - "I think the Pr. Obama is FAR to smart to come out to see me.
Have you heard of Fox News? How much do you think Fox News would
love to have a photo of Pr. Obama here talking to some whackjob with
tattoos on his face, SO THEY COULD HURT PR. OBAMA?"
"YOU ARE NO WHACKJOB," the male TX Teacher angrily rebuked me in
front of his students.
Have I ever received a stronger affirmation?
Fw: If you think you are unhappy....
If you think, you are unhappy. . ..
If you think your salary is low. . .
If you think you don't have many friends. . .
When you feel like giving up . . . .
If you think you suffer in life,
Do you suffer as much as he does?
If you complain about your transport system . . .
If your society is unfair . . . .
Enjoy life, how it is, and as it comes, there are always those who are worse off than we are.

Daniel from Ind: "how many 10s of thousands of people you've touched deeply...."
maybe 10 months ago, and who remains a friend on Facebook:
"I was walking around downtown Indianapolis the other day, and I
saw this group of artists doing a street installation. We started chatting,
and it turns out they're from DC. I asked them if they knew about
you, and they lit up and said yes. Out of 300 million people in this
country! We had fun speculating on how many 10s of thousands
people you've touched deeply. :)"
Also:
"Just wanted to let you know you're on my list of "heroes." Of the ten
I listed, you, Dean Kamen and Bill Moyers are the only ones alive. :)
My Heroes
http://www.facebook.com/l/d27ea;danielscottpoynter.com/about.html#heroes "
I replied:
"Daniel, your kind words of encouragement mean an enormous amount to me.
I've been given sooooo much that I so desperately wish the share. Thanks.

"The squirrel erased my email. No, REALLY!" SL
Of course, to them I'm just another type of tree, or bush,
uh, make that tree; one that at times dispenses peanuts,
but it is pretty magical none the less. Most are pretty
skittish, but some are kind, gentle, nice. Just now
one lightly leaped onto my lap as I was typing, sat there
for a moment, as I typed, and then as I moved my hand down
to the bag by my side where the peanuts were, he casually
strolled across the keyboard to see what I was getting
him, erasing my work.
Thoughtless.
Hmmmmm. Secret Service? Nah.
Plop, he lands on my arm, he just came for another.
