For my part, I see them all as attempts by humanity to represent divinity, and the record of human history shows such an endeavor is a mixed bag of treasures and tricks.

Dear Rob,
 +
 +
If everyone who has a doubt about a certain TR or a certain transcript were to do with it as you want to do, then there would be several sites that mark up as "questionable" certain tr's and transcripts- but they'd all be marking up different transcripts from different TR's.
 +
Isn't this doing the same as all religions of the past have done? Blessing only certain passages that the leaders personally view as true? Kind of reminds me of the way the Bible was put together... only certain gospels were chosen. Kind of reminds me of how Christianity broke up into different sects as well. This is all just more acts of separation, of personal judgement against others' beliefs and experiences. It's all the same mistake Rob...
 +

I've had to fight my own tendency to dismiss certain TR's too! If something doesn't resonate with me, the tendency is to dismiss. But, truth is, there have been portions of every TR's transcripts that at times did not resonate with me. Still, I would rather read them than not because there is always something in it that will resonate and help me grow in spirit and love.

When will we learn to just love and support one another's paths to God regardless of specific beliefs and experiences? It's the only way this world will ever reach light and life. Light and life cannot be built through the use of yet more separation. Haven't we seen this enough through history? Time and again "leaders" deciding what will be acceptable in a religion and what will be discarded? When you discard someone's experiences and beliefs, you discard the person themselves as well. This always fails to unite the world because it is just more separation! We should love one another and appreciate each person who is trying from their heart to reach God regardless of their specific experiences which are personal and just as real as any other.
 +
 +
Well, that's my own 2 cents on this subject....
 +
 +
Much love :), Mich

Hello Michelle-
 +
 +
It is good to hear from you again! If nothing else has been accomplished by this recent decision, hearing from you and Roxanne will have been worth it.
 +

As for Daniels' work in general, it has little if anything to do with religion as it is focused on the development of material infrastructure serving economic and political development. Charles has said it best "there are certain protocols involved in our work; they have nothing to do with morality or ethics".

This editorial decision has to do with assessing the value of purely journalistic comments that are found to be in error of material fact(s) while supporting of partisan politics and is subject to change.
    
Gratefully,
