I remember some Moonies who lived around my hometown. Weird stuff.
And in the unlikely case you aren't really the Messiah, good luck in your wandering on, Mr. Moon!
Reverend Moon is dead!

Reverend Moon is dead!
Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Re: Reverend Moon is dead!
I always regarded Moon as a "karmic" payback to the West for the Western/Christian missionizing in the East. Well, Moon is dead. I won't miss him, though I do recall a very odd full page newspaper ad he took out once about relationships or some such thing and how when two people are really meant for each other they can tolerate the smell of each others' farts; however, he used far more euphemistic language. Now, that is a true Messiah.LonesomeYogurt wrote:http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/02/world/asi ... ?hpt=hp_t1

I do definitely remember reading the New Testament and thinking, "You know, this would be better with more fart jokes."tiltbillings wrote:Now, that is a true Messiah.
Like I said, there was a weird enclave of Moonies around my home town and they were quite obnoxious, even in matters unrelated to their religious beliefs. It was like a social club for really maladjusted white professor-types.

Oh lord, my son works at burger king as a 17-year-old p/t burger flipper.
As for Moon - gone to hang out with Rajneesh, no doubt.
One only hopes for Moon and his followers he didn't die from a fart attack.
It wouldn't be good for the Messianic aura.
