That's true : as far as I know, no one has excommunicated you - in fact
we seem to be responding to your critical posts, of which there have
been quite a few, rather than ignoring them...

are quite capable of protecting ourselves against cultism.

I guess it never hurts to have one or two Jeremiahs pointing out the

Of course, a prophet is not without honour, except in his own
"community"  ;-)
