Love him, hate him, or disagree with his religion you cannot deny what an influential human being he was.

Just like the late Billy Joe Dougherty, he put thousands upon thousands onto a better path in life.

A better path than addiction, hopelessness, dispair, sickness, and spiritual illness.

I'm a flag waiver for spirituality, whatever flavor someone wants to choose to get there matters not to me.

Nah, no labels for me anymore.  I found what I've got primarily through Christianity, but other world religions figure prominently in my spiritual life.  I don't prostheletize because what works for me would send another person into heroin addiction, prison, or listening to the Grateful Dead.

Lots of dear friends at All Souls, but that's still organized religion and I've still got a slight issue with that and too many damn liberals...LOL.  They do have some great social meet 'n greets though.

To me it's all about being the best humanitarian you can and finding inner and outer peace.  All things that have happened to me in the last year.  Well, I can always improve, but you get my drift.  This has been a totally remarkable year for me that others would have thought to be a total downer if they were in similar circumstances.

The thread on TUROBY's facebook page on this read likes a TW comments thread. I'm not a fan of Oral but never would've imagined there are so many ready to pee on his grave.

I grew up being back door neighbors w/ the Roberts family; we shared a fence between our properties. It was like having an area 54 for a neighbor.  Never was a big fan personally of his ways. Ran into a relative of his once...at Burningman (what a small world)!
