Blog Update

As you can see, the page looks a little different. I decided to add "pages" to categorize all of my posts for your convenience. I have written a number of articles in the last two weeks (on the problem of evil) and now have a total of 66 published posts (and more in the making). As such it seems rather impractical for anybody to scroll through all of those to find a particular article. The main page is just what the blog solely consisted of before, which organizes posts entirely based on temporal order. But now there are additional pages which are essentially sets of articles and set membership is determined not merely by temporal order, but also by theme. It's not perfect since no categorization of this sort is, and on some occasions, certain articles are cross-listed, but I still think it makes finding a particular post significantly easier than before. Oh and the one category that might not be familiar to many is labeled 'metaphilosophy'. Roughly, this page contains articles pertaining to philosophical methodology (i.e., stuff like what is required for philosophical discourse or investigation?). Gangadean often speaks of things like "common ground" and the need for clarity at the basic level as the very pre-conditions for thought and talk, and the like. The Metaphilosophy page is where you'll find my critiques of his views of this sort.

At any rate, thanks for reading (stats indicate that visits to this blog are continually growing) and also thanks for comments and emails. It's encouraging to hear when a particular article is of some service to my readers. To that end, if you find the content helpful, and/or know of someone that might benefit from it, please spread the word. Note that at the bottom of each post there are small buttons which link to social media outlets for easy sharing.

  1. Please consider adding a donation or "support this blog" link. I, for one, feel indebted to you for all the work you've done to help those who have been harmed by WF.

    1. Thanks for the suggestion anon. I'm very moved by the offer and am so glad to hear that this blog might be helping others. However, I wouldn't feel right about taking anyone's money. Please just continue to spread the word!

      Also if you know of anybody that has been mistreated by Gangadean or his camp, and wouldn't mind writing up a testimony to that end, that would be helpful (I'd keep them entirely anonymous if they like). Just have them email me. I'm thinking of adding a page with a collection of personal accounts since I think it might be useful information for the general public.

      Sadly, my impression is that a significant number of people have been hurt or mistreated by the church, but we're all sort of scattered. It would be great if we could unite in someway.
