I also think its awesome you found someone on here to start a relationship with. Thats just too cool. I wish you both much happiness.
Thanks. I still try to offer info on Thelema. Of course, it's on YouTube and tannhaus.com...where several other Thelemites spend some time as well. That way, it's not just my point of view, you get others as well. You can see us disagreeing on points, see all the debates, and get a better feel of the overall subject.
Of course, with the new developments in the LG15 series, I no longer feel any loyalty towards LG15. This idea that you can take the prophet and writings of a religion....make them out to be some evil thing, and just because you don't CALL it by the name of that religion it's ok.... bah
I've now hit over 200 subscribers on YouTube. I now have tannhaus.com. Even though the idea for the YouTube videos came from my experience here and the fact people didn't know anything about us nor Crowley, it's obvious that people all over the place are interested in learning a little about it. So, I try to spend my time helping where it can do the most good.
But, I do appreciate the people here who were my friends when they were. I don't think a lot of people got me in this forum. They couldn't see things from my perspective. I remember you and I had an argument in which you were saying you couldn't see why I couldn't just make silly videos and "have fun". But, what I'm doing is a lot of fun to me.
When my girlfriend first got here, she was sorta worried that she would say something wrong about spirituality and I'd get upset with her. But, she slowly realized that as long as she respected my beliefs, I'd respect hers....no matter how much they clashed. So now she quite often disagrees with me.
I do my best to keep Thelema out of the relationship. I can't do it all the way since it is a big part of my life, but I do it enough that she doesn't feel like I'm trying to convert her. She also feels like that is a PART of me, and not all of me. We're both happy with me being an agnostic Thelemite and her being a normal agnostic. I'm not looking to convert anyone...especially her.
Sorry for the rambling. I just woke up. But, back to the original post, there are a lot of people that I appreciate in this forum...for the friendship they gave me when they did....romanceismusic, kasdeja, Mirage, etc. Of course, I also appreciate my fellow Thelemites who have been friends through all of this, such as SororYZBL and Maxomai. Then there are those that came after I started pulling away from the forums such as apotheosisAZ and trainer101 that I'm sure I'd have become good friends with had I spent more time here.
But mostly, I appreciate these forums because I met my girlfriend here. We've been living together since November and it's been amazing. We have so much in common, I think it's awesome we found each other.
