A question about bears?

And Locksley, I appreciated immediately that the link you posted was identical to mine.... you just posted it prematurely, but since everyone else seems incapable of following a simple question and response (what do you "remember" it to be- not "go look it up and tell me what you find") I'm not shocked. If I appear to be short or curt at the moment, sorry. I don't understand why a person asks a simple question and a person gets lectured on the nature of things.... A person can die a slow death being snipped at day after day....

For those of you following this thread and wondering why I am concerned about the meaning of all this, I would reply, why did you do everything to figure out my intentions and not just answer a simple question about children's books? Why were my instructions so hard to follow? Why did you insist that I had incorrectly asked the question or "implied" something I hadn't? WHY?

So it was a science experiment. That's why it went over my head.

Why did you insist that I had incorrectly asked the question or "implied" something I hadn't? WHY?

and I thought you were messing with us.

Much animosity from so many

We shall never seek so much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Sorry guys,
it's a sad day, though, when so many think I am messing with them just to mess with them. The theories behind all this are fascinating and simultaneously troubling to me. The idea of death into rebirth: sounds awesome. Still terrifying. I nearly died last October, and the fact I lived and the circumstances around it have cause me to question my entire perception of reality. Hence my affiliation (though not officially as I am still a guest for whatever reason- I've taken the oath, completed the exercises up to stage 4- connections; I digress) with this Order. I don't usually assume people are f***ing with me.... maybe I should. I am a man of few pretentions and even fewer assumptions.

It wasn't clear why you were asking, so you were misread. I think it probably would have worked better as in person conversation, online any emphasise you intended was lost (capitals doesn't really count). It appeared to some of us you were merely asking us because you didn't remember.
I think perhaps the thread should go back to discussing the Mandela effect and forget the 'intentions' bit.

Well you have to admitt you did seemed vague and evasive in the begining?

Fine.... a new thread then. Mandela Effect. Talk amongst yourselves.... I feel like I have been dealing with Time Warner Cable for the past 2 days. Jeepers

In reviewing my original message, I CAN see how it may have cause confusion.... which is why my next post said not to look it up, but to remember. For which I was immediately chastised. #Exhausted. If someone else starts a new thread on Mandela effect as it relates to the BerenSTEIN bears or anything else, I will follow it, and may contribute. Frankly, this particular thread has only served to reaffirm some of my fears....

I think we are hanging on to this too tight and should let it go. BJ please have no fears about posting here. It's all good.
