Little pun here Unto? Sometimes I feel like a "
patient."
While I tend to avoid all doctors and hospitals like the plague (
people die there!), my wife spends much more time with them and has this chief complaint about the medical profession -- "
they don't listen to me, they think they already know what's wrong with me, especially these young doctors right out of school."
I'm starting to understand how she feels.
Repeatedly posters try to explain our symptoms. We say, "no it's not a cult, but occasionally it kind of felt like that." You can tell the "doctor" is still not listening. He has some long fancy title like "apologetics." He has already made up his mind --
I believe you have a bad case of "idolatry." No, I don't think so, doctor, I grew up with that, and this is really different. Explain to me again what "idolatry" looks like. Well, if that's true, then everyone I know has got it too. All mankind is sick with it.
Now ... when people ask how I'm doing, I just tell them "
I'm fine, just gettin' old, like the rest of us." I guess I'm in denial.
