Now Mike, fess up, you hacked into Myer's computer and inserted this into the chapter, didn't you? (just kidding)

I wish I could either be that smart, or even discover that Myer was reading my mind. But I know better. I think that despite the relative unpopularity of some of my positions of late, it would seem that I'm not the only one thinking them. And I feel fairly comfortable declaring that John Myer probably gets more if it right than I do. By a long shot.
But it is the elimination of the true garlic room that has helped both of us.
The LRC is a garlic room like no other. Our systems cry out for the leeks of Lee. The scallions of Nee. The "fix" of the LSM. Our minds still are trained to default to a kind of "Lee was right," "the LRC was right," or "Nee was right" position without a critical thought.
It is like that quote to "Just give the children Christ" that seems impossible to think it could be wrong. Could be hollow. Could be even used of Satan. We fail to realize that such a phrase is just a phrase. The inclusion of "Christ" in it (or "God," "church," "Spirit," or even "spirit") does not make it right. It just scares you away from actually considering the whole phrase and instead do the knee-jerk "it has to be right" dance.
As I said before, Lee played the pipe and we danced. And unfortunately, we still start dancing to some of his music.
