Well,
I just had to weigh in and let you all know that those (((HUGS)))
from last week, were very much appreciated and savored by Moi.
Also, to let you know, that despite KOMF's False Accusation against me
last week - that I was "antisocial" - well, I just had to dispel that
notion immediately, if not sooner, that I, we, me, Tom Talley, the Tallyman,
who used to be the Tallyboy, and even before that, the Tallybaby...
have ALWAYS been a gregarious creature. From the crib.
Yes, I'm very much the social inter actor and thank God for the Internet
that despite the socially isolating effect an illness can have upon one,
one is still able to socially mix and interact with others.
and then KOMF accused me of being "obnoxious"... ? ? ?
Well! I never!
How would anyone, in all the 8-9 years I been online EVER THINK,
much less _Accuse Me_ of being "Obnoxious"... or "AntiSocial"...?
Ahhh, yes, yes, I remember being called those things several times
over the years, online, but it was NEVER by a fellow X-Dub,
a companion fighter against and exposer of the Evil Watchtower Empire.
No.
Rather, those accusations (and many others!) were made by the Watchtower
faithful, the devotees, the loyals, the dyed-in-the-wool fanatics
who did not like my (the Tallyman's) criticisms of their "religion".
"the loud, aggressive, antisocial behavior you exhibit online must be",
(according to KOMF)
Must be Unpopular with the online jehovah's Witnesses who would characterize
it (Tallyman's behavior) thusly... because ANYONE who dares criticize
the Watchtower Religion mildly, wildly, s o f t l y, LOUDLY!!! -whatever-
would automatically be characterized as "aggressive, antisocial and obnoxious"
- by those who hold their Watchtower Religion dear.
But for a fellow / former jehovah's Witness who makes out like he is against
the Watchtower Religion... and occasionally even actually criticizes it...
to use those same characterizations of me that only the WTLoyals have used -
well, maybe "As someone experiencing great emotional stress and upheaval,
you [me] aren't expected to see the subtleties at work here..."
Yeaaaah. Maybe that's it. I'm still so emotionally overwrought
(good thing I'm a man, or I might be accused of being "hormonal", or sumpin')
that I'm failing to get the drift of what is actually being said.
That could be it.
Or
Or, it may be a case of KOMF being Emboldened to say those things about me,
because his is yet "Another case of aggression emerging from behind the shields
of internet distance and invisibility?"
Ewwww, calling someone "obnoxious" and "antisocial"... Whew! Man!
... is that ever "aggressive", or what?!?
but being able to hidey-hide, ducky-down, behind a phony name/acronym
with a hooey-dooey email address... well, then, goodness gracious me,
there is No Tellin' WHAT might "emerge" from the keyboard
of someone - so distant - so shielded - so invisible.
Ummm, help me out here, someone, if anyone will... I need understanding.
Like somebody said recently, now who was it that said it?, well just
somebody made the remark, that "there is a Know-It-All-In-Every-Crowd".
Okay.
If that's the case here:
"Calling All Know It Alls!"
"Calling ANY Know It All" ... please help me understand something.
HOW does someone like KOMF, who says he has family still in the Watchtower religion, and say it is his son, and say that son is Very Devoted to the WT Religion, and then when I question HIS ANONYMITY and INVISIBILITY,
after, once again, he has Falsely Accused me
of being anonymous, distant,
invisible, shielded...
how (why?) would he/could he come back with the retort:
"...it's understandable that you would so easily overlook
the obvious reason why I don't reveal my name
and particulars online.
I have a son still in.
He is a very zealous witness; extremely so.
But for reasons only he knows, he does not shun me
or his disfellowshipped brother.
I expect that
if he knew of my activity as KOMF,
that would change.
I'd rather it didn't."
...then IF that is the case, how could someone then be IDIOT enough
to plaster a photograph of himself beside EVERY post he puts up
on this Discussion Board, where lurkers abound... and NOT expect
someone recognizing the face of "KOMF", as being the father of
that Zealot Son, and getting word back to that WT Extremist Son,
that his Dad is online engaging in all kinds of "activity"...
whaaaa...?
I don't understand.
Hey, like the saying goes: "It's a small theocratic World!"...
and the Internet reduces the size of it even more.
Sooner or later... B u s t e d !
Matter o' time.
Can some Know-It-All out there, here on the DB help me to understand
this "logic", since it is so "obvious" (to others?)
and could be so "easily overlook(ed)"?
Help?
Anyone?
Unless, UNLESS, the photograph beside the fake KOMF acronym
is ALSO fake. That's it! It's a fake photograph.
Something pulled out of a little metal frame purchased at Wal-Mart.
A sample picture of a smiling Dad. Right?
Then,
EVERYTHING would be CONSISTENTLY Phony and Anonymous and Invisible.
Now, even overwrought I, can see the "obvious reason(ing)" behind that.
Okay. 'Nuff said.

Now, getting to the title of this thread:
"A Paean To Myself"...
well,
I rolled out of bed this morning and hit the floor (I meant to do it!)
(I could have defied gravity, but I chose not to do so.)
and I said to myself: "I AM god!" "I AM god!" "I AM god!"
(I said it three times for emphasis!!!)
and I looked out the window and the day was wet, cloudy and dreary...
but since I am in control of EVERYTHING as god, as the "I AM", I am,
then I MEANT IT TO BE CLOUDY, RAINY AND DREARY!
I did not want it to be sunshiney and nicey, as god.
And then I walked up the hall to go and sip my Ambrosia,
which is coffee, which is the Nectar Of The gods,
I thought I felt pains in my muscles, but it was an Illusion,
because I said it is so. As god, I Can Create My Own Reality,
so I created a pain-free body, just as I created the weather today.
Whatever the weather is like wherever you are today? I did that.
Unless, you are god too, and I defer to your godship and accept
that the weather at your location is of your own choosing.
We gods are like that. We have a godship kinship.
So, after my godly Nectar took effect,
I decided it would be good, as god, to go and sit on My Throne
and contemplate... and things went well and came out okay,
and it came to myself, in a big burst, in a revelation... that,
as god, I needed a Paean to myself, and who better to write it than me?
(I know, I titled it "I Rote"... well, that's because it was by rote,
because I Am a god, and this stuff is so mechanical, almost routine...)
So, here it is, My Paean To Myself, I share it with all of you:
.
.
I Am Captain of My Fart.
.
I Am Master of My Stool.
.
.
.
Eureka!
I thought it was a stroke of genius.
Of course, being god, I would.
That's it.
Two Lines.
Says it all.
Why say more?
signed:
Tom Talley
(yes! it's a real name! and that is a real letter 'K'!)
p.s. Understand, there are MANY subtleties at work in all the above,
and I, as god, realize that most of The Great Unwashed here,
will be "expected to see" them.
(Ha!ha!ha!... how us gods DO like our amusement!)
p.s.s. Soon, I will be making a guest appearance, along with Shirley,
on "The Opera Windbag Show". All I have to do is will it, to make it so.
And I will be there plugging my New Paean on her "Angel Network",
and she will make it a "Paean-Of-The-Month" Selection.
I will will her to make it so.
("I will will"... heee, didja get that??)
p.s.s.s. Some may be wondering why I asked all those questions above...
about grasping and understanding and all...
because as god, I Should Know It All Already... well, remember,
I am "a" god. lower-case 'g' god, and, so, well, you know.
p.s.s.s.s Anyway, once again, to Omega out with the way I Alpha'ed in,
I want to say, I appreciated all those (((hugs))) last week.
Now, as god, I think I'll go give myself a (((hug)))!
