Thermotron training — Journey thru Darkness
her*mit
1. a person who lives by himself in a lonely or secluded spot, often from religious motives; recluse 2. a spiced cookie made with nuts and raisins.
Cookies? Well anyway, during the last year, the Pacific Mountain Pilgrimage set up shop in an imaginary Tibetan Buddhist hermit’s cave. The goal was to be come isolated from civilization and to focus on matters of divine importance. To seek enlightenment. Noble intentions, right? That lasted about a week or so.
It gets [expletive] boring living in the [expletive] middle of [expletive] nowhere! Hey, we tried! Unfortunately, we’d signed a lease with no transfer clause. Not to mention that we had to pay for the whole year right up front. What are you going to do? The landlord is a lawyer too. <bleep>
Truth # 329-6437:
When the enemy is ignorance,
the warrior must be a teacher.
What do you do when the lights come on and you’re living in a insane asylum? What do you do when you can see the Horror right in front of your eyes, day in and day out?
What do you do when you’re the Jew who doesn’t just march with the herd into the waiting freight cars. When you’re the Jew who says Bullshit! Getting on the train is crazy! People say: “Oy, Hymie, don’t make an ass out of yourself. It’s just a work camp. Get on the damn train!”

Excerpt from the book ” The compassionate Beast: What science is
Discovering About the Humane Side of Humankind”
==================================================================
But it wasn’t’ all your people. It was some of them. There were people like Balwina Piecuch. Heedless of the danger to themselves, they had rescued Jews. As he spoke, Oliner realized how one-sided his lectures–and his own view–had been. There was a good side to human nature; he had to study it.
Oliner began reading about people who had rescued Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe. As a social scientist, he wanted to understand what had created the altruistic nature of these people. In 1982 , a grant from the American Jewish Committee enabled him to launch a study of the surviving rescuers.
He and his staff also interviewed 200 people from the same areas and of the same age, class and background who had done nothing to save the Jews. Then they analyzed the differences between the two groups. Among the findings, which cast light on how compassion can be built into human nature are:
*People who rescued the Jews were not particularly adventurous or self-confident; nor were they more religious than the “bystanders,” as Oliner calls those who did nothing. But they were more empathetic, more caring and had a much greater sense of responsibility for others. How did the rescuers become compassionate? In part, by having lived among people who were not of their own faith and background, they had learned to see others as fellow human beings.
*The most important influences were parental: How the rescuers had been disciplined as children was crucial. The bystanders were more likely to have been beaten and abused by their parents. The rescuers parents, on the other hand, used reason to discipline, thereby instilling values as well as compassion.
*Parents behavior toward others was major influence. Kind, caring parents were the model for kind, caring children.
Oliner discovered that 500,000 Christians had risked their lives to save a million Jews from death. His work ;had other rewards: The research, intimates say helped heal Oliner. Rabbi Harold Schulweis, a close friend, says: “He found the spark of decency in human beings.” At 60, Samuel Oliner is now a man at peace with the past and hopeful for the future, He says “The notion that we are each other’s keepers is gaining. Maybe we’ve reached a point where another Holocaust is unimaginable. He pauses, then adds: “It’s because of the people who cared that I’m here. There are such people in the world–and we can teach our children to be like them..”
Letters to the Editor:
Dear Pacific Northwest Pilgrimage,
It was very good to hear from you. We received your letter and the poems but to tell the truth, I had a very difficult time trying to understand it. I was able to glean a few things:
1) That you are planning on relocating .
2) That you’re very negative on people. I think that negativity is a trap that it is [sic] very easy to fall into as we get older. I caution you to strive against it. People are not as bad as you paint them, even in corporate America.
A G.
Dear A G.
Whew! Shit! Here’s the guy who turned me on to books like “Pigs in the Parlor, Signs wonders and Response (three days of darkness), Prophecies by Wladyslaw Biernacki, or Constance Cumbey The hidden dangers of the rainbow, and of course The Poem of the Man-God…….. Now he’s telling me that corporate life is normal.
What many companies are noted for are:
the wrong people in the right jobs, supra-talented people in the supra-menial jobs, and the one-dimensional types in the multiple-dimensional jobs. Management is summed up simply as “a matter of making sure everybody knows who’s boss.”
Authority that can not command respect by leadership dynamic or credentials or expertise often shifts to authoritarianism out of a “fear of being found out” Where abilities are lacking, insecurities evident in relationships to that, and the complexities of the organizational function too difficult to cope with, the leader often will resort to authoritarian postures in order to save what he can. Because for him to admit to limitations or incapacities for “corporate’ problems is but to contradict the image.
The shape of an organization is a direct result of the administrative weakeners or strengths that were brought into it, and GOD will not perfect that which has been ignored, especially when the cure is readily accessible at the local business college.
On top of that of course is the already defined authoritarian syndrome which becomes more and more rigid as the ability to cope with corporation complexities becomes less and less.
Weakness of rank and fine can be worked out and perfected but only as there is capable leadership knowledge enough and self-experiential enough to detect them.
In an organization if you ask people how the company values them, most workers will comment along this general line: “It’s a job.” or “i don’t think I’m really that important”. All of which says that they have learned to accommodate themselves to their “value” as set by the company, or director, either directly or indirectly, which is that they are merely piece workers hung together on restrictive codes. If mediocrity is to be explained at all it has to stem from the empty “value system” of taboos and internal behavioral circumspections. An organization whose “value system” spins around negatives will find the group spitting into the the wind rather than with it.
Christian workers perhaps more then their secular counterpart are sensitive to the emergence of “false values” based on contradictory images. They have come to expect much more,. When these false values continue to go unchecked, they whittle away at the respect until the organization becomes the subject of mean, caustic jokes.
MEMO MAN
He loves paper, lots of paper
see him shuffle all day long.
He loves memo’s writing memo’s
that say the things that should be done.
He’s got a style, and uses techniques
that a nine year old boy knows;
because he loves memo’s pretty memo’s
but don’t ask him what to do
Don’t ask him what he’s doing
because he doesn’t understand
He loves memo’s, pretty memo’s
those letters he can comprehend
He looks good on paper
Yes paper is what he knows
His clothing is from the “50′s”
and Sears Roebuck is the brand.
He loves memo’s lots of memo’s
don’t ask him what he knows
He doesn’t want to hear you
and tries not to let it show
Don’t tell him what is happening
He is a spineless deceitful man
Show him memo’s lots of memo’s
that’s all he understands

I sat and we talked
for two hours
and he told me
all of his views.
He was looking
for a handle,
a button to push
in me.
I listened to
the words he spoke,
but I didn’t believe
a word.
I’ve never trusted
shifty eyes,
and his eyes
were the worst.
I guess
he needed practice,
because i wasn’t
conned that day
Or maybe
he was just a hack,
and didn’t know what
to say.
I wonder if he
believed himself,
his eyes
were the story to me.
His eyes
were moving everywhere
it’s a wonder
he could see.
So, he could have used
some training,
He could have used
some luck.
He should have stayed
somewhere else,
until he got all the bugs
worked out.
But he thought
he had it down perfect,
He thought
it was a sm-o-o-th act.
But he never tried it
on a man;
So, his story
just fell flat.
I watched his shifty eyes
moving across the room
I though to myself
“here we go”
The company store In Bloom
So, his eyes
told the story,
and his words
betrayed the plan.
He found
it wasn’t working well,
deceiving
this honest man.
He really should
have practiced,
maybe in front of a
mirror.
He would have
learned”what to avoid”
so, he wouldn’t have
sat so near.
In this World
shifty two-faced,
liars, cheats and thieves,
They’re still a dime-a dozen.

” It is the duty of the executive director to remove ruthlessly any one especially a manager who constantly or consistently fails to perform with high distinction. To let such a man stay on corrupts the others…Indeed I have never seen anyone in a job for which he was inadequate who was not slowly being destroyed by the pressure and the strain, and who did not secretly pray for deliverance. “

Have no dealings with dishonest people.
Neither their promises nor their friendship
are worth having.
Their promises are like gusts of wind,
and they do not know the meaning of friendship.
The dishonest cannot offer their honor as a bond,
because they have none to pledge;
and without a bond,
there can be no forfeit.

THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES
“Perhaps you raise the question of hallucination versus the divine imagery of a genuine spiritual experience. I doubt if anyone has authoritatively defined what an hallucination really is. However, it is certain that all recipients of spiritual experiences declare for their reality. The best evidence of that reality is in the subsequent fruits. Those who receive these gifts of grace are very much changed people, almost invariably for the better. This can scarcely be said of those who hallucinate.
“Some might think me presumptuous when I say that my own experience is real. Nevertheless, I can surely report that in my own life and in the lives of countless others, the fruits of that experience have been real, and the benefactions beyond reckoning.” [Talk 1960-pg 182]
Marks of the Spiritual Man.
The concept of spirituality varies among Christian groups.
In some circles the highly vocal person who talks religion continually is thought to be very spiritual’ others accept noisy exuberance as a mark of spirituality. and in some churches the man who prays first, longest and loudest gets a reputation for being the most spiritual man in the assemble.
Now a vigorous testimony, frequent prayers and loud praise may be entirely consistent with spirituality, but it is important that we understand that; they do not in them selves constitute it nor prove that it is present.
True spirituality manifests itself in certain dominant desires.
These are ever-present,
deep-settled wants sufficiently powerful to motivate and control the life. For convenience sake let me number them, though I make no effort to decide the order of their importance.
1. First is the desire to be holy rather than happy. The yearning after happiness found so widely among Christians professing a superior degree of sanctity is sufficient proof that such sanctity to not indeed present. The holy spiritual man knows that God will give abundance of joy after we have become able to receive it without injury to our souls, but he does not demand it at once. John Wesley said of the members of one of the early Methodist societies that he doubted that they had been made perfect in love because they come to church to enjoy religion instead of to learn how they could become holy.
2. A man may be considered spiritual when he wants to see the honor of God advanced through his life even if it means that he himself must suffer temporary dishonor or loss. Such a man prays “Hallowed be thy name” and silently adds, “at any cost to me Lord”. He lives for God’s honor by a kind of spiritual reflex. Every choice involving the glory of God is for him already made before it presents itself. He does not need to debate the matter with his own heart’ there is nothing to debate.
The glory of God is necessary to him’ he gasps for it as a suffocating man gasps for air.
3. The spiritual man wants to carry his cross.
Many Christians accept adversity or tribulation with a sigh and call it their cross, forgetting that such things come alike to saint and sinner. The cross is that extra adversity that comes to us as a result of our obedience to Christ. This cross is not forced on us; we voluntarily take it up with full knowledge of the consequences. We choose to obey Christ and by so doing choose to carry the cross.
Carrying a cross means to be attached to the Person of Christ, committed to the Lordship of Christ and obedient to the commandments of Christ. The man who is so attached, so committed, so obedient is a spiritual man.
4. Again, a Christian is spiritual when he sees everything from God’s viewpoint. The ability to weigh all things in the divine scale and place the same value upon them as God does is the mark of a Spirit-filled life.
God looks at and through at the same time . His gaze does not rest on the surface but penetrates to the true meaning of things. The carnal Christian looks at an object or a situation, but because he does not see through it he is elated or cast down by what he sees. The spiritual man is able to look through things as God looks and think of them as God thinks. He insists on seeing all things as God sees them even if it humbles him and exposes his ignorance to the point of real pain.
5. Another desire of the spiritual man is to die right rather than to live wrong. A sure mark of the mature man of God is his nonchalance about living. The earth-loving body-conscious Christian looks upon death with numb terror in his heart’” but as he goes on to live in the spiritual he becomes increasingly indifferent to the number of his years here below, and at the same time increasingly careful of the kind of life he lives while he is here. He will not purchase a few extra days of life at the cost of compromise or failure. He wants most of all to be right and he is happy to let God decide how long he shall live. He knows that he can afford to die now that he is in Christ, but he knows that he cannot afford to do wrong, and this knowledge becomes a gyroscope to stabilize his thinking and his acting.
6. The desire to see others advance at his expense is another mark of the spiritual man. He wants to see other Christians above him and is happy when they are promoted and he is overlooked. There is no envy in his heart when his brethren are honored he is pleased because such is the will of God and that will is his earthly heaven. If God is pleased, his is pleased for that reason, and if it pleases God to exalt another above him he is content to have it so.
7. The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgements. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company fo angels and the general assemble and church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served.
And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual
(that incredible Christian pg113)
A.G. thinks there is too much focus on the ninth commandment:
“thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor”
False speaking in any matter, every attempt or purpose to deceive our neighbor, is here included. An intention to deceive is what constitutes falsehood. By a glance of the eye, a motion of the hand, an expression of the countenance, a falsehood may be told as effectually as be words. All intentional overstatement, every hint or insinuation calculated to convey an erroneous or exaggerated impression, even the statement of facts in such a manner as to mislead, is falsehood. This precept forbids every effort to injure our neighbor’s reputation by misrepresentation or evil surmising, by slander or tale bearing. Even the intentional suppression of truth, by which injury may result to others, is a violation of the Ninth Commandment.
Even though there are nine other commandments, lying is a corner stone for violating the other nine commandments.
A liar lies because it is the easiest
and most expedient thing to do. He has something to hide, or can’t face the responsibility of his actions. Or to some lying is a game.
Juvenile Delinquents generally turn into Delinquent Adults !
Fre- the Punk say’s “Gee isn’t everybody a thief and a liar ??”
It so stunned me that all I could say was
“maybe, but some people are more committed to it then others”
Some people view stealing as their real job, and the place where they are employed is where the opportunities are.
Some background on this guy, when the year end W-2 forms came out he would comment that he made 5 or 10 thousand dollars more by cheating on his time. And lied to the National manager when he didn’t want to help his partner in Texas He said his partner was milking all the jobs.
When Stan-The-Man quit went to a competitor and worked in sales. F–The-Punk started
saying that Stan-the-man was lying when he told the customers that the equipment he was selling had a performance rate that far exceeded his previous employer. This was proven true.
As a matter of fact the manufacture covertly
had someone buy the competitors equipment so
they could dissect it and determine how that manufacturer was achieving this performance.
The Co. where this improved product version
was developed and marketed was a spin-off of
T-land, they drummed out their hardworking creative people and then had to steal the good ideas back that they had originally rejected. Of Course.
F–the -Punk was just voicing what his bosses were saying of the competitors (politics). It didn’t matter if it was true or not.
He was a channel, a survivor, a whore.
The next example is provided by
H– the Blasphemer and thief
when he said
“being a thief isn’t called stealing
” it’s called “working the system “
besides he wasn’t as big a thief as Neu-ville.
ed. [Neu-ville a renowned Texas thief]
One of the times he bragged he was “a company man” I found out he was plotting to defraud a co-worker, and as I told him “anyone stealing twenty to thirty thousand dollars a year had damn well better be “A Company Man.!!”
He did tell me after I left that the manager
complained that I was difficult because he found it hard to pull the wool over my eyes, because “I Didn’t Believe His Lies!!!
She-y the ugly slut provided a classic when she said: “Libeling and slandering people
is just called Politics”.
Low-Life- La-ers asked me when I was leaving because ;
Good-People-Don’t Work-Here !!
ed. [ He was right ]
“Poor little Giggie with his lame duck act, a typical “Creep” who was “a company man.”
Creep:
noun ass, asshole, blockhead, boor.cad, clod, cretin, dimwit,nerd, pain, jerk schlemiel, schmuck, stooge, trud, turkey,
verb coast, crawl, glide, prowl,skate, skim, skulk, slick, slither, snake, sneak, steal, wiggle, wriggle, writhe.
FACTS THAT TYPIFIED HIS CHARACTER;
and dominated his behavior.
Small lies,
The Landlord where he was renting required the tenant to maintain the general upkeep of the property, mowing the lawn, raking the leaves. He gave it lip service, Or as the Landlord said “he says yes, yes it will be done but nothing is taken care of”. He was not allowed to have pets, so he tried to keep his two cats hidden. He was only allowed to use part of the garage for storage, but he ignored that contract also.
They moved out on bad terms to say the least. This landlord warned me about this guy,
I understood but no one else did, or cared.
Petty Thief & stealing time,
The Company where he had worked last (Mountgumary Wards) was building a case against him because neighbors complained that his service truck was always at home. He quit that job just before the axe came down.
Do you want to see how the Holiday Inn’s were decorated, and the type of towels used? Go over to little Greggie’s house and take a look. Do you want to see the type of tools and equipment that was in the San Jose, and Washington Offices, visit and take a look. Four secretaries, two salesman, and myself tried to enlighten the Spineless Wonder(see definition on pg-20). But you Can’t tell a DUMMY anything!!
That’s why they are called DUMMYS.
Oh one more thing, the janitorial service was changed four times in the fruitless attempt to stem the tide of stealing. You just can’t tell a Holland MI. Dutch boy any-thing, unless they want to hear it.
ed[Hey, ya know that commandment about
Adultery well it’s pretty far down the list]
When he was having an affair with a woman out of town he decided that he would keep his current wife because she was all ready trained and under his thumb (during this time he was abusive to his wife). For a short time he and that wife lived with his Mother-in-law (two months of the first stages of Real Estate(I tried to give the manager a clue of the Real estate stuff, and when the salesman let him know that POOR LITTLE IGGIE wasn’t working but selling Real Estate; The DUMMY DUTCHBOY plotted to defraud and set-up the salesman to get rid of him); any way his Mother-in-law saw through his manipulation behavior and tried to enlighten her daughter and get her to leave him. So they moved out and he convinced his wife that her mother was her enemy.
At this time also he didn’t show up at work for two months, and the Dummy Dutchboy manager never knew it never guessed it.
No-News-is-Good-News.
Embezzlement
This guy stole everything he could in the office he worked at and cast suspicion onto his co-workers. His expense reports were about a thousand times higher than similar workers.
Some of his methods were: buying a round trip airline ticket and only using half and cashing in the rest, over charging the company when taking customers to lunch, or pretending to take customers to lunch, buying tools and anything else and charging them to a job, He never had a personal gasoline bill once he was hired, checking into hotels and then checking out before staying and getting a full refund and submitting the bill for reinbursement, tires for his cars, just about anything He would brag and show me his paycheck after he padded his hours charged to a job. His daily job became not a serviceman, but a thief, his real job was to steal everything he could, or as he said I just look for the advantage in the situation.
ed [H– the Blasphemer was doing the same thing in the San Diego office and these two
would share information on new and improved methods, as a matter of curiosity; H– had an regular “For Sale” add in the newspaper for stuff he wanted to convert into cash ]
When I asked the manager and national manager if they ever went over expense reports, they got indignant and said:
Do You Think I Just Sign Them??
I said “YES
I am Quite Convinced That is all You Do”.
After I left the New replacement National Manager said “That office stuck out like a sore thumb” and as I told him OF COURSE That was obvious to the most casual observer.
Fraud
While driving to lunch with his wife on Company time, in a company rental car, under the pretense he was taking a customer to lunch. He got in an accident and claimed a back injury, so he go a few months off with pay. This enabled him to work on his car and try to sell Real Estate. He was supposed to be going to a therapist but he generally “Blew that off” There just wasn’t any checks and balances, what ever he could get away with was the limit; and because of the Dutchboy Holy Roller
The Spineless Wonder Manager
” The Sky was the Limit”.
Sibling and Slandering
Trying to find fault elsewhere to lay blame on his co-workers he succeeded in getting the manager to get rid of four secretaries, two salesman and one serviceman and that was only one of the offices. The Manager wanted to believed his lies. Or as the creep said
“Who ever tells Him what he want’s to hear must be right, and it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You are supposed to tell him anything he wants to hear.”
It doesn’t matter what you do to anybody so long as you get away with it and you Make IT.”
Stealing Time
He was always trying to get as many personal things done while he was as he called it “On the Company’s time. His typical behavior was to show up at the office and say he was going to go work at Company “A” then go back home, he’d fill out a expense report the next day, faking the time when he was supposed to be on the job.
When he started to try break into the Real Estate business you can guess when he got most of his work done. When he wanted to get the company to sell an old service truck to him he changed the sparkplug wires around so to ran poorly, and then had a mechanic verify the it had a bad engine, but this time he didn’t get away with it.( he got them to sell the old salesman car to him CHEAP by submitting a false estimate of value)
One additional item; Once there was a job in the same town that he grew up and as we drove around he pointed out the many places, and houses that he had been in. Yes, burglary, breaking in and entering, stealing what he could had long been a part of his life style and Character. This was one of the many times where he really gave-me-the-Creeps.
He was the Managers Pet.
A “Pet” Psychopath.
Psychopath:
noun a mentally ill or unstable person
This manager had such a high need of a FALSE WITTNESS that he always protected him. As De– the Trip stated ” They like people like him”.
When D–The –Trip would visit this office the punk would lie to him about his co-workers and The Trip never verified those lies.
As I said to the Trip:
“did you expect him to say that the secretary, the salesman, or the other serviceman, were complaining that He was never around, stealing everything he could, and the customers were complaining about his work???
Of course he threw suspicion on the people around him.
ed. [ the workers at the next place of his employ-
ment said “He Bragged about all the Stealing he did.]
Loyalty in this organization was demonstrated by telling the manager anything they wanted to hear, “making it hard” on someone as directed;
ed.[no concern for ones co-worker, lookout for yourself]
and with total personal loyalty to the boss.
Ideally when possible false behaviors and statements are acted on in front of other co-workers to help promote the image.
id-i-ot :
noun a feeble-minded person re- quiring complete custodial care,
oo a silly or foolish person, dim-wit who will believe anything regardless of the facts, adj. manipulative asshole who has shit for brains.
The Manager being outstanding IDIOT would call this creep up on the sly to determine what the status was at that office.
The Alcoholic salesman hit it on the head when he stated: ” They are all phony “
Yes, A.G. I have certainly had the opportunity to work with a twisted, evil and corrupt group of people.
The amazing thing is:
They think they are
“Normal and Sane”.
ed [ Read *People of the Lie * by
M. Scott Peck for additional info]
The list of examples are almost endless that demonstrate the absence of morals or ethics
in this group of people. As will be explained later their conscience was deadened along the way
ed.[after the 50th time lieing, cheating, stealing, and slandering someone, it gets easer]
But we know that their own medicine isn’t good for them, they would be the first to complain.
At the next company people called Greggi
“A Cry Baby” [Why am I being picked on?]
As De– the Trip said of the manager, I don’t think that manager has any morals or ethics , or at least they don’t weight very heavily.!!
He does what ever is the easiest ” there is no right or wrong!!
and hides everything he can!!!!
Picture a society or company held together entirely by fear and greed. On the surface, manners are normally suave. Rudeness to one’s superiors is suicidal; rudness to one’s equals might put them on their guard before you are ready to spring the trap. For of course “Dog eat Dog” is the principle of the whole organisation.
The dutchboy Religious manager did
conspire to defraud most of the
co-workers; and if someone didn’t
go along with the stories (support his lies)
he would point suspicion about them
by saying things like,
“they have a problem”.
A.G. has overlooked the character
of a liar; a liar will: lie, cheat, steal, slander, murder, lead people astray,
blame it on someone else, deny it,
then lie about it.
Everyone wishes everyone else’s discrediting, demotion, and ruin; everyone is an expert in the confidential report, the pretended alliance, the stab in the back. Over all this their good manners, their expressions of grave respect, their “tributes” to one another’s invaluable services form a thin crust. Every now and then it gets punctured, and the scalding lava of their hatred spurts out.
Seems that ole A.G. has taken a strange tack here. I used to think that I had missed something by not moving directly from college into the weird world of neckties & suits & shoulderpads & high heels..
That is, until I got the last few jobs. Now I can see that I didn’t miss anything. That I was blessed to have taken the narrow winding path instead.
My recent leap right smack into the world of mainstream has been a Piss-in-Your-Pants sort of exp.
Really! A non-stop journey through the Twilight Zone. Astonishingly illuminating. Naturally, my response has been sharp and merciless.
It takes a good grip not to get sucked into the machinery.
But anyway, Jung said if you become highly individualized
(free thinker) , you can become independent of the mass consciousness.
It is these liberated individuals- who live outside the circle of the druid dance- who sometimes change the course of human history. (the Lutheran religion started thus)
Tis the hermits and pilgrims and magicians that will save us, if anyone can.
So, A.G., this is what I think:
there are two kinds of critics. There are critics motivated by poison and insanity who criticize with the intention of causing pain (read Mein Kampf by A. Hitler);
and there are critics motivated by an intense optimism [now rare] who criticize for the sake of awakening rapture (read Island by A. Huxley).
I hallucinate that I am of the latter type. Thanks for your concern. What I’m doing is necessary to my voyage. Sorry it’s so weird.
Being a Seeker-of-Truth is a difficult path to walk, people want to hear what they want to hear… and what do they want to hear?
That they are fine, good, clever, smart and successful whom we all have a great deal of respect for.
ed. [Seeking human respect can be fatal, a fatal error]
The games that people play, reinforce whatever social rules they are trying to fulfil; Whatever dream or image they are trying to promote.
Big John the Tindink early on dramatized the game of deceit at one weasel factory I worked. In the effort to hide his backstabbing and defrauding his co-workers he would say :
“Old Bob is as Smart as a Fox.
Old Bob the Original “First Ever” National Manager. You might say he was ” the Godfather ” of the “I Lied for You ”
Good Old Boy’s Club in the environmental chamber industry. So, lets take a look at his Character and the business methods he employed.
The nature of the environmental industry;
The demands and requirements of equipment performance results in:
the product shapes the character of its masters.
The industry really started to take-off and develop in the 1960′s as a result of the space program. What was being sold were primarily custom made environmental test equipment, and every unit had it own particular personality or problems. The basic engineering was done on a drafting board, the final engineered product was produced on the production floor, in the their final test dept, with many setbacks and problems. As late as 1982 the industry was still taking up to a year over its given ship date to get (custom work) equipment operating and shipped to the customer. There was always a push to ship equipment prior to having all the -bugs-out to get that final payment.
It was then the responsibility of the field service dept. to satisfy the customer needs, and equipment requirements.
No- news-is-good- news!!!!
What this then did was produce an attitude of getting the customer off their backs. Get a body-over[service representive] over there to the customer’s shop so they will shut up!!!
ed [customer concern was “really” about number #9 on the list, the real concern was to get that last payment]
So this pressure encouraged the “I Lied For YOU” Philosophy of management.
Good Old Bob’s business philosophy as told:
“I consider it part of your job to do the final sell-off of this equipment; It doesn’t matter if the equipment works right or not:
“Your job is to convince the customer
it is working correctly!!!!!!
So, of course you’re going to have to lie.
The next step in this process you are supposed to tell the customer anything they want to hear(always agree with them, Yes I understand was popular.).
This means ship dates–promise anything because of the long lead time to produce the test equipment the customer will be locked in six months down the road; even if there is a drop-dead-clause (refuse to accept the order upon delivery) because they won’t have the time to reorder from anyone else.
Performance–promise just about anything because it will perform at that specification sometimes “the manufacture just doesn’t know when or how often.”
ed. [if it doesn’t work correctly
get-a-body-over-there.]
If the customer wants to verify the test results of the equipment prior to shipment that’s “ok” EXCEPT how about if we just send you a copy of the doctored test results. [doesn’t everybody else do the same thing??.]
Well do you get the drift??—everything is set-up for deception.
You might say that the client is:
“Someone who you get drunk so you can then find out how much money they really have got to spend”.
Or insert a straw into the back of their skull and suck until their head caves in!!!!
Thus the introduction of the
“I–Lied–For–You–Club”.
{The Good-Old-Boys-Club}
He typified the management style there;
the rule for management was simple.
“It’s OK to lie to a little bit”
if it keeps him or us out of trouble.
It was sometimes an adventure talking to “Old Bob” you see he had this pregnant profile and when he would talk to someone he would preface the conversation with:
” Well ya, know I’ve been in this business for twenty-eight years now “
[as he would rub his hands up and down his fat belly]
“and the environmental business has been very-very-good-to-me, I’ve seen a lot of things, blah, blah. blah.”
Big John and Old Bob were a good “fit” Big John was also technically incompetent, lazy, and a drunk, and his main snitch(but a “fun” guy to be around). Observing Big John’s activities it was not surprise that he would sell anyone down the river. He was always running behind everyone’s back.
ed [perhaps the ease of the environmental chamber business attracts the thugs]
I honestly don’t think that “all people” are bad – Like sheep, they will pretend or believe anything two sources tell them and all the vague inuendo’s. Whatever the “group think” is that’s what is best to believe,and say.
ed.{I’m not cynical just experienced}
But as the shifty little pathological liar and klepto thief said after he helped plot to defraud and set-up four secretaries and two salesman and other co-workers.
“people are fools to try to live an honest life because every one will walk all over them”
Further more it doesn’t matter what he does to anyone it’s ok to lie, cheat, steal, etc,-etc..etc…!!
so long as they get away with it…
His classic was ” you are supposed to tell anyone anything they want to hear and it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not you just tell it to them anyway” He was one of the biggest thefts. He used to practice lying on a daily basis, developing stories that might cover his actions. If all else failed he would say ;
“Well I lied for you”
(or I’ll lie for you),
or who’s gona know?
ed. [he was a company pet, and had the mgr wound around his little finger.]
D- the Trip stated that:
“they” like people like him.”
Keep in mind he was stealing everything that he could get his hands on, defrading his co-workers, and the customers were always complaining. But he told management anything they wanted to hear (of course).
He was fired from the next company, “they couldn’t figure out why they hired him in the first place!”
a bad organizational fit there!
When I spoke to the last company he stole at, hey said that he wasn’t really very good and wondered how someone could work for a major manufacture for three years and possess such low skill qualities. It was no mystery to me so I explained to him that his main function was to be a false witness for the manager, and that he had the manager wound around his little finger.
He was finally fired for charging customers time for when he was not on the job. But it took them a week to find him, they went to his house on the weekend and told him to get his junk out of their service vehicle.
He was the manager’s false witness, a lazy, liar and thief, an all around thug.
ed.[ Remember the company before got rid of him also.]
He is right !! the major flaw in people is the lack of character but.. try to live dishonestly ???……
A new saying :
” real Christians are a myth “
people revealed by their fruits
Yes, A.G. I am trying to correct that major flaw .
As Satan said ” Aventa, Aventa”
translated:
for their skin, for their skin.
People will do anything to save their skin…
When you really look at it, we live in an apocalyptic time. It’s very shaky and scary..
“N”
There also is this strange philosophy abounding
which says:
Truth or Lie—Be “Positive About It.
There are many gods afoot.
There are many evil powers…
I know where the Darkness resides !!
Ah yes, If lying, cheating, stealing, and slandering people is your forte then
Holland Michigan a town that boasts a church on every corner is for you.
ed. [and the environmental chamber business is your ticket in.]
The writer of psalm 73 spill out his frustrations as he struggles with his loss of perspective, but ends in a doxology.
When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny (Ps. 73:16-17)
Twenty years ago a woman friend warned me about the Dutch and Christian Reform . You see she grew up in that community and developed a strong distrust of holy roller image orientated Christians. I thought perhaps it was an isolated group of people that was being focused on;
I was to learn that this was not so.
Now when I hear someone called a
“Holy Roller” I think of crook.
The Dutch and Christian religion itself had become a very twisted and
corrupt version of Christ’s Teachings.
The astounding find was that their church members invariability encourage the false image and pretence of Christianity by peer and social pressure. (get along, go along)
The most profound change in this religious organization is the
Absence of the
“Ten Commandments”
ed.[ and the absence of sin]
In the Dutch and Christian reformed Religion It is called:
“THE TEN SUGGESTIONS”
Mark 7: 06
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.
What they do realize by violating
THE FIRST COMMANDENT,
They have doomed themselves and their descendents to further corruption.
The LOVE OF MONEY, IMAGE AND SOCIAL STANDING is so powerful that it controls their every action.
The bible is very explicit in Exodus 20-5- of the consequences.
“Thou salt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth genera-tions of them that hate me;
It is inevitable that one’s children should suffer from the consequences of parental wrong-doing, but they are not punished for the parents guilt, except as they participate in their sins. It is usually the case however, that children walk in the steps of their parents. By inheritance and example the sons become partakers of the father’s sin. Wrong tendencies, perverted appetites, and debased morals, as well as physical disease and degeneracy, are transmitted as a legacy from father to son, to the third and fourth generation. This fearful truth should have a solemn power to restrain men from following a course of sin.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandants.
After spending a few years working with this religious group,
I left in disgust and returned only to continue the research.
Western Michigan is known as
“The West-Michigan Hypocrites”
ed. [locating in Holland i was originally enthusiastic, a town known for it’s abundance of Churches. Anyone seeking further Spiritual growth understands this desire but i was to learn otherwise.]
Its interesting to consider possibilities of why western Michigan is known as the W. M. Hypocrites. In order to understand some reasons we need to understand Satan’s kingdom [ the father of lies and deceit] we need to recognize his work when we see it. According to Ephesians 6, his kingdom is comprised of four major divisions: principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness and wicked spirts in heavenly places.
The first of these divisions in Satan’s kingdom is called principalities. The Bible alludes to the fact that the world has been divided into sections, or provinces, and each is controlled by a prince( demon). Daniel 10 spoke of the prince of Persia as one of these principalities. Daniel had prayed regarding certain concerns, but he had to wait 21 days before the answer finally reached him. A powerful evil angel, known as the “prince of Persia”, had hindered the message. It wasn’t until Michal, the archangel came to the rescue of God’s first messenger that this evil being was overcome and the message was delivered(vv.1-14).
This incident is illuminating, it proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that evil angels do seek to influence. Without a doubt, all earthly governments from the national government on down to its smallest segments are attacked by evil spirits. These demons seek to manipulate and influence people in power. Whether officials realize it or not , some of the pressure brought against them stems from the fact that Satan and his organized forces are trying to force these influential people in the direction they want them to go. No wonder we are instructed to pray for those in government!
