I tried to focus on the weddings this meeting and keep the newlywed couple’s spirits up. However, just hearing how high the popular vote for Hillary is makes me so uncomfortable because we have to admit our votes don’t matter. I have never been comfortable with the electoral college and this just made my discomfort more intense. I think we have to get rid of them. The reasons for keeping them do not hold water. Smaller states will have the same problem they do now. All the electoral college does is allow smaller states to have this special voice that is still over showed by the bigger states, it just doesn’t make sense. I’m very uncomfortable with Trump as president basically because of his disrespect of women, and his temperament. I am a white woman who did not vote for Trump and I’m ashamed of all the white women who did.

I like talking about and having my concerns about death eased. I love it when Mark reminded us what Mason says about this being hell and when we leave this life, and graduate successfully, we will ascend to the next realm. We either ascend are come back here to hell in a new life. I don’t want to come back to this hell. I am comforted that I will ascend, that takes a great deal of stress off my shoulders I am one of those who fears dying. I think this part of our meeting was a highlight to all of us and it was good to see Michael at the meeting. It felt right again.

I'm really trying to focus on and enjoy the happy highlights that occurred during the meeting this time. The weddings were beautiful and so sweet. I also liked our topics this time. they were encouraging, comforting, and calming wow. The trump situation is so unsettling but I agree the lack of democracy is even more disturbing. We can't keep allowing this so the electoral college has to go. Anything that can be used to sway or be used as a mechanism to dismiss the voice of the American people needs to be abolished. Every vote should count so we simply have to get rid of the electoral college, we have to.

Mike I’m glad you were able to make it. It was good to see you

I just look at all the hateful groups coming to the surface and it is disturbing. To hear them say things like this is the white man’s land sickens me. It’s simply not true. I’m really disturbed by this election and it’s hard to see a positive future because of it. But like many of you have said, it’s the voting process that is most disturbing. I agree we do need to do away with the electoral college because it's a way for republicans to keep cheating their way into powerful positions. What stuck out for me was hearing most of the republicans say they voted republican because of a sense of loyalty to their party. Right or wrong. One guy in our group and at the meeting said they don’t do the right thing all the time but that doesn’t mean you abandon your party. I just shook my head because that was unbelievable to me. Mark directed a question to all republicans, asking them how they would explain their loyalty to the republicans fundamental wrongs to the most high. If you know a group isn’t doing the right thing you don’t sit back idle and watch it. He compared it to white people watching other white people do and say racially hurtful things and saying or doing nothing. None of them could answer the question. I hope they think about it.

I like the stance to not capitalize or address trump with the presidential title, ever. I’m sick of the republicans cheating to get what they want. And I’m not paying taxes. If they elected a top dog that doesn’t pay taxes why the hell should I. That’s how upset I am. This man has so many interests that conflict with his ability to be leader it’s staggering. He’s not my president and he never will be.

On a lighter note I, as always, I enjoy or group focus for this meeting. This focus was death and what we fear about it. I think it’s time we all stop believe in the hell the Christians use to cause fear and compliance. It’s really not the nature of Adonai.

I am glad we will talk more candidly about the 95/5 and what kinds of people fall under each umbrella. I’m really looking forward to it.

I want to congratulate both my parents on their weddings. I think they both made excellent choices

and I’m looking forward to seeing my new sister or brother Dad. Stop crying

I love you and mom and I’m so happy for both of you.

I really enjoyed the weddings. I love the tears of joy and how the families are literally joining together. I like that we are taught to respect each other and I really enjoyed meeting Kendra’s sister.

Now…I like that we are taking a collective stance it makes me feel good. When I say his name it will not be something I capitalize. I have no respect at all. And I am struggling to understand the significance of the 95 period. So I’m going to pay close attention to the 2017 focus. I also like the idea of not paying taxes especially if it’s to pay his racist cabinet and to pay off all his damn debts.
