cb, i'd be careful about calling it a myth that attending MKP endangerous christian souls. I happen to agree with you that it probably does not. That being said, taking an oath of secrecy in prohibited in some denominations, as are the calling of quarters. No one of us really knows then if it is a myth that their souls are engendered.

[quote]You've hit something here that I think is important. If societal norms were working in a man's life, he shouldn't have a reason to attend MKP. Actually, I think you've hit something there. The presumption that someone attending MKP means that societal norms aren't working in a man's life. I think this is the essence of the problem with this type of educat

Here's a brief answer to your question RU?ing. For sake of argument, let's assume their processes work. Some of the men have issues with mommy, significant other, or women in general. Part of the weekend process is expressing anger at those groups. I have heard some pretty hate-filled rants at those groups. I think men would be uncomfortable expressing that anger with women in th

BearSong Is it possible that some had a different experience than you and want a safe place to discuss that experience(similarly to your space in the I-group) or is the process so perfect that the only way someone could not have had the same experience be that there was something wrong with them, or they are fabricating?

RU?ing I know you have taken some criticism for you political comments, but personally, they have helped me start to critically analyze my own beliefs and what is going on in the US. You have also mentioned similarities between this group and the masons. Was wondering if you cared to expound on that a little. I know little of that group and was interested in what similarities you see.
