Bob, have you seen the movie “Rashomon?” It stole your idea 75 years ago.
I haven’t seen it but your description and the image I just googled makes it look fascinating! I’ll check it out.
That looks very interesting. I’mma check it out too.
Adam da Atheist sez: Metaphysical claims aside, Bob has dropped a lot of useful knowledge and concepts and frameworks and strategies in this episode.
Kudos!
“I have keep having these relationships that blow up in my face” “People walk around sabatoging themselves” WOW. It’s a can of worms because it is you. You sabotage yourself and you harm others and you have had practice walking around confidently in denial of the effects of your sins you deny. Instead of this, you should tell people the truth and take that to your pastor and confess and repent. “What are you doing to make that happen?” You don’t take responsibility and you control and abuse. You manipulate. You do terrible things and and play victim, and then try to break your wife and run from all your sins and actions. If you believe Christ died for you, you would confess and repent and talk to your pastor. You most certainly would not sound like this. You picked a Christian wife, and it wasn’t the wrong one and then proceeded to allow Satan to destroy your marriage and take out all of your serious issues with your mother and ex wife onto me. This is so messed up. You need to talk to your pastor and not hold back or deceive like you do with everyone. You are not obedient. Your accusations and how you abused me were confessions, projecting and blameshifting. You are describing yourself. You have revealed yourself with your abuse and what you’ve done. That is exactly what I was helped with through marriage counseling, because you scapegoated me and abused me. What are you doing?? Jesus is the answer, and you refuse him. You were not loving and you are not living your faith. If you lived your faith you want cease this and address the evil in your midst. instead, it’s left to me to carry. There is so much wrong. You will never let anyone know either, because you know it’s true and you don’t want to face it or do anything about it. You didn’t care about my wellbeing. You hated your own wife and did not pray You did not do anything you ate saying here. You blamed me for you not praying. You didn’t even pray for me or anything for my wellbeing. You abused me and gishgalloped me. You need to talk to your pastor without DECEIT or OMISSION.
