I won't be taking advice from anyone who turns a blind eye to Trala's sordid behaviour in here. You might be foolish enough to drink Trala's 12 step kool-aid baloney, but read it:
- We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Seriously, if you think Trala's fixation with the sex lives of strangers on an internet forum is following God's will you need to get a grip. You, Hooley, were and are Trala's disciple, but preaching to the unconverted is ridiculous and turning a blind eye to her revolting behaviour is clear. When have you ever called her out for misbehaviour. The thought of Trala passing even 3 of 12 is fanciful, as is the thought of following the advice of people who lack the spine to put her in her place. You are just displaying your own malleability to buying her garbage.
I actually don't believe in God, but a higher power - but each to their own ....... I skim though stuff some people say, that I don't agree with - maybe that is because I can be Lazy or I could not be stuffed with the back and forth conversation that will never bring an outcome ......
Sums the education divide in here up, really.
It never past my mind, that any form of education had any form of relevance on this forum. Unless it was a debate about who was smarter than who ..... Some people in life are not gifted nor supported to nurture ones own intellegence (note I am messing up on spelling and grammer, to just attract your words about how really dumb I am)
To be totally honest, I would not like to have your smart arse brains, and your so called set up life because I would rather be around people that laughed at my wrong words and stuff than be a condesending, self noting person - like you. Just because you travelled the world, doing your 'work' does not make you better than that posters here.
I feel it relates to credibility, absolutely. Trala is so ashamed of her conduct in here she hides it from her partner, while busy sledging others about 'cyber'. Trala forever moans about supporting the tax system when she has been a statistical societal burden and the prime beneficiary of it. The thought of her repaying her own cost/debt to society in her lifetime is implausible, yet having to join the world in her latter years has her pretending the world owes her.
She is JOKING with some things she posts - I think???? LOL
Also, how do you know if she hides her post from her partner? Maybe they have a great laugh at what she does? Who knows?
As some background for my views, I was living in Tokyo when the Noriko Sakai scandal unfolded and encountered some of the press feeding frenzy. Her husband had been busted for under 1 gram of illegal stimulants so they raided her house and found 0.008 grams. It made headlines for months, her whole extended family is forever black sheeped and she is in permanent submissive disgrace. In plenty of cultures, you lose privileges such as judging others when you commit crimes and make bad decisions. In Australia it is divided, but precisely what proportion would and should listen to Trala's hypocritical sermons isn't for dotty hooley to
cluck decide.
A Dotty Hooley Dress would be a pretty good outfit for me!
And you are the Judge on all you have mentioned ............ You have your view and I have mine and everyone else has theirs.
Does not mean that any view is right, it is what it is.
Thanks for taking the time to point out my flaws and whatever .....
Shame on me, and others not being so perfect, as you think you are ........
