Data one review: Snake oil?

RantWoman UTTERLY Blesses one Friend frequently written of here for his gift in the realm of Truth telling. RantWoman blesses the Friend; that does not mean RantWoman agrees with everything that splutters out of his mouth.

This Friend's question this morning: "How was the snake oil session" (referring to Adult Religious Education)?

RantWoman "Did you go to any of the weekend's sessions? Could you say more what you mean Snake oil?"

Back to the Snake oil in a moment.

Friend had also missed previous sessions. This Friend saw the part about "What happens about conflict in Meetings?" The gist of his reply: mostly Quakers don't deal with conflict and then when they do they gaslight the noisiest member."

Nooooo! Really?

Friend was also taking exception to use of the word "healer." Exception as in "touchy-feely," "woo-woo," and a couple other terms.

HELLO. We are talking licensed massage practitioner, so touchy-feely is right there. Add more than enough deep spiritual work to use the work healer, not to mention RantWoman's personal experience.

So if Friend were to ask RantWoman..., RantWoman would say "Next time SHOW UP." step outside your comfort zone. You never know WHAT you might learn.
