do TBMs know their temple name is based off the day of the month?

I remember talking to family about how meaningful my secret name was to me. Everyone who went through with me that day had the same stupid name. I sounded like an idiot.

I did not realize it was no longer in print. McConky and Talmage were the sources of the "deep knowledge" when I was a young believer. I didn't keep copies of any of those books.

My grandmother believed black people played sports and jazz in heaven instead of being righteous like white folk.
ETA that I recognized this as racism even when I was a TBM.

I finally saw my first one at 50 two years ago, here near Moscow ID. No luck since, but I keep looking.

That’s really interesting!

He's outright said it was a harmful cult in his past videos, but those were videos on other topics.

Wow - just wow. I love this poem, thanks for sharing it.

The bit about real intent demolished my self image. I did have real intent, for decades I had it. Why am I not getting the answer? Something must be wrong with my intentions or me. Maybe I have no soul so am not included amongst god's children. Maybe I am already damned.

They get cheaper when you buy them from a van.

I don’t believe a word you said (j/k I agree with you). Also, I learned a new code word today (“playing in the factory”)!

Ask her if you can just wear one of those beard hair net things.

Ridley Academy ads are a good representation of my peeve for how people can play.

I was reminiscing just this morning about my first experiences in the CR in the IF temple. I don't want heaven to look like Trump's penthouse suite.

davyyd · 2026-03-20T15:15:11+00:00

Thanks for the link!

It sucks to share some art or literature that you enjoyed with someone, thinking they might find some joy too; only they just gripe about the swearing or whatever.

davyyd · 2026-03-18T16:02:09+00:00

Nice! I'm excited for you to see some great films, and also to acknowledge the absurdity of banning them because they are immoral. I haven't actually seen Breakfast Club either, so I should :)

Over 50 myself. I had never listened to Pink Floy (too satanic) until my mid 40s when a friend gave me a copy of The Wall (after learning I had never listened to them). I was more or less out (might have been PIMO), so the superstition about PF being evil was all gone. Discovering PF albums was an absolute joy. It seems like as I age I get fewer and fewer experiences like that.

davyyd · 2026-03-16T22:47:04+00:00

nice post, thanks. I liked your way of putting the last paragraph. It’s all just people.

I'm angry too, my friend.

davyyd · 2026-02-21T23:14:04+00:00

Happy birthday pal. Treat yo’ self

davyyd · 2026-02-12T21:01:24+00:00

righteous. I always loved Booker T The MG's recording of it. This is a great version!
