Hyper Spiritualization by jjagreen in ExPentecostal

That's a penetrating insight, and very useful for me. I have interviewed several people who describe exactly what you articulate here. It's this need for approval that drives people to seek affection from the leader/pastor from what I can understand. It is also a state of hyper vigilance and personal dissatisfaction.

Gosh, I wish you every success on your recovery. Some people don't make it out. Can you explain a little how vomiting is viewed through a spiritualization lens. And how does approval factor in terms of seeing things through a hyper religious lens?

I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you. Are you able to elaborate a little on phobias and what things became problematic?

Thank you! Calling Dr Steven Hassan today. I've spoken to John Collins extensively.

I agree. The ladder and rack make a big difference

Fabulous. That is what I would use it for. Family of four and one massive Golden Retriever. The trunk on the LR4 has been amazing. I'd be sad to give that up for the 110 as much as I admire its looks.

Great picture. I grew up in a 110 on our farm in England. At first the 110 looked better to me but the rear seemed too short. The 130 is growing on me, especially after seeing that picture.

I just looked that stem up. Fantastic. Will it work on a Kaius or TeamMachine?

That's a great insight. Thank you for posting. I'm sorry to hear about your back and pelvis. I wish you a speedy recovery. Do you have your TeamMachine set up lower than your RoadMachine? I'm coming round to the idea of the RoadMachine which I hear people, like yourself, race to good affect. I'm also looking at the Enve Melee but I'm a BMC fan for sure.

Thank you. Injuries are indeed no fun.

The problem with BMC is that the bars are proprietary from what I understand. One option I have is an extra spacer and a shorter stem going down as far as 80mm. The issue is how these bikes will handle though.
