I keep making little observations about FDR, or people tell me about their own observations and I think they're cool but I don't feel like making some big article about it. Or sometimes I've written little bits buried in long-winded articles that could stand on their own.

So this might be a new feature on fdrliberated. Or not.

As always, opinions cheerfully accepted.

Quickies! (Nov '09)

You're brilliant as ever QuestEon, stating your perceptive insights with clarity and wit. Thank you! I hope that your thoughts are being read by FDR members, and that they will spark some independent thought.

Mega dittos!

Regarding selling "truth" for money:

I don't know if it has to do with the money, so much as it has to do with the "truth." Competent psychologists sell guidance and understanding, but do so in a much better way that leads people to their subjective truth on their own. Stef finds an objective "truth" and coaxes his followers to it.

Funny how Stef always bitches about parents emotionally bullying their kids, but he's just giving them a helping hand by yelling at them about how evil their parents are. But I've probably been abused too much to see the difference.

Hi QuestEon,

I really enjoyed reading your latest installment. As I read, I realized that as moly is renovating his image lately, he does suggest that each member who mentions the desire to defoo seek counseling. I believe his standard line goes something like this now, "I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this difficult time. May I ask if you have sought the guidance of a professional counselor through this painful process?" However, you are right, he never, ever suggests that the possible defooer go into therapy with his friends or family who he or she is considering defooing from. He never suggests trying to heal or repair the relationship. That is not a part of the equation. It is merely sympathy and a suggestion of therapy to have help through this "troubled time". That's it. Reconciliation is not an option that is ever spoken of.

The lastest lame attempt at whimsy and stuff.

January 2010: Christina's Web, Conrad's Conundrum, Abusing VJ Felittie's A.C.E. Study, Brain-scan thievery, Circling bastards!

Let me say that I've always wondered exactly what transpired to cause the separation between you and fdr, Conrad. It was nice to be able to see it all laid out in black and white. Brilliant.

Excuse me, did he really say that fdr true believers have not hurt anyone? Wow! That's quite a statement for one who professes "truth, honesty, and virtue" above all. I know for a fact (as you said Conrad) that is NOT true.

I have a couple of questions.
1) If Christina's professional partner is indeed a member of a religion - does that make Christina corrupt for working so closely with him/her? I mean, according to molyneux it might. Members of his site have quit their jobs for less close associations after all. And we know they have "quit" their associations with friends and family members over such. Is Christina not supposed to do the same?

2) I wonder if Dr. Perry knows of moly's incorrect use of his research materials and the like without his consent.

Hmmmmmm.......interesting stuff.

Hmmmm....okay, so if parents don't count as "anyone", how about friends, co-workers, fellow students, room mates, neighbors, etc. You know, people who you might associate with on a daily basis, and then suddenly decide they are "corrupt" and discontinue all association. Is this considered to not count as well? That is fascinating.

"Bad people". Ah. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up, Patience.

Ah, but you did not know that until you joined fdr, incapable of making your own choices up till then were we?
