Yes, right again, Maria, and I will do that.  After all, who would have thought - indeed, who would have even dreamed that Mike Rinder would leave?  And so many others.  So thank you for helping me work this out in my own mind to realize that my hope is not a delusion.  There is evidence that it can happen - plenty of it.  There are STATISTICS that it happens - plenty of them!  Thanks again :)]]></description>

I guess once cult mentality has its claws in, all they have left is delusion. So sad.

BUT for us on the outside, we can hold onto their hope or them :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They don&#039;t want anyone to come into the morgues. Here&#039;s a video taken outside the Mountain View CA Ideal Morgue (which was completely empty of parishioners) showing a staff member trying to get the police to trespass a couple of photographers from the public sidewalk.   The police completely ignored the insane request from the staff member.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4lSkGPuKzs]]></description>

I agree!  &quot;Where there is life there is hope.&quot;  So true.  But then, the question remains: when does hope stop being hope, and become delusion?  Perhaps, these people who cling, year after year, decade after decade, to their &quot;hopes&quot; (which are obviously delusions) do so because to let go of their hopes (delusions) would be a kind of death for them...? I&#039;m just thinking out loud here.]]></description>
