whokebianism has a life of its own, independent of whok. it's in the things we practice and believe in, in our community, and in each of us. it's grown to be something he likely didn't intend, and that may in some respects run counter to who he is.

i didn't say he doesn't matter to it. i'm saying that the character of whokebianism doesn't change with every thing he does. it has a life and momentum of its own.

this is a paradox that i had always struggled with internally.
my prophet is a n-threader of great renown, yet i am very strongly anti-n-thread.
how do i reconcile this?
has radek eclipsed whokebe, much as muhammed eclipsed jesus, and jesus the jewish prophets? should i branch out and study the vedic scrolls of watchmen the poster?
i'm not committing to any action at this point, but i am VERY confused.

will you burn me at the stake like fallen whokebians past?
i simply have questions. responding with "this isn't funny" or "don't you like me" or whatever people have responded with don't help. in fact it makes me worry that people want to obfuscate things to hide the TRUTH.

i don't know man; i can't answer this for you. you have to find a philosophy that fits your personal beliefs, and that you feel comfortable openly promoting and adhering to. only you can decide what that is, and what that can't be.
i reconcile that conflict by recognizing that whokebianism and whok aren't and one in the same, and that i can follow basic whokebian practices -- kindness, doodness, threadbumping, poster-rating, disuse of punctuation -- and still differ with whok on certain things (for instance, his idea that dirk is better than dwight howard). but then, niggerthreading doesn't bother me quite like it seems to bother you, so perhaps for you the conflict is more pressing, and one that isn't meant to be reconciled, but rather to compel you to leave whokebianism altogether in search of a belief system that better suits you.

i don't know if i am prepared to face the possibility you describe.
whok was my Shepherd for so long. so many times i would be down -- maybe in a fight with my ex-gf or my dog was mad at me if i ate in front of him without sharing -- and whok would be there to rate me an "A" poster or give me a 180. would i be disloyal if i moved on?
i have cried over this.
everytime i think about leaving i think about the times i could only touch rim and thought about him and turned it into a white boy dunk. or other times when i couldn't remember what the thing was that was between an amoeba and the taildood in HS bio and there's a text from whok saying "paramecium."

i've had my doubts from time to time; more than a few people have asked me about my commitment to Whokebianism, and with a barely concealed skepticism. around harvard, there's a lot of bigotry directed at whokebians, too. but you don't cast aside a world view casually

if you do renounce him you renounce your baptism by his hand. perhaps you think this is of no great consequence: with or without whokebe, baptized or unbaptized, you will marry, work, father sons -- and whokebe and his teachings will be of scarce import in such affairs. but this in time must yield to a new broader view, for a renouncement inevitably must have an embrace far vaster than the object cast aside. suppose a painter consecrates ten years of his youth to painting landscapes in a certain village. he is skilled and becomes renowned for his works' embodiment of the godsent beauty in their subjects. may he then disavow and burn them, without thereby making himself forever apostate to the mountains and washes he painted, unto the very village he resides?
and what of that baptism? is it possible for those who were once enlightened, who had been faithful partakers, if they renounce their faith, to be renewed again to repentance? no -- for they would be demanding that whokebe baptize them again, which would put whokebe to an open shame.
the apostate painter walked the road leading into the mountains that he once painted as the edges of his landscapes. along the path he met a stranger, or perhaps a man already known to him. the man asked the painter what he planned to paint -- since he had painted only landscapes for so long -- once he left the village. the painter said, "i'll paint the great farmhouses on the pasturelands that lie beyond those mountains." "for how long?" the stranger asked. "the rest of my life on earth; i will never paint anything more." "and what if there no are such farmhouses, no such monuments to man's vanity there?" the painter replied, "then i'll paint the outer dark." for how long...

just bumping the only two posts under this moniker I can remember. if I get the 180s, great. If not, there's enough in the other thread to last me a while.
