@kasch – good luck man! Maybe Jenna will be there and be able to help?

Let’s not forget that Tom might be a sketchy dude who isn’t even her dad

@joemarblez – I just want to say that Alkaline Trio is one of my favorite bands

Also, @lukasrl was just out here to do Ascension and he’s around Chicago as well.

I see your point and I get it. For this, I think not having clearly written rules makes the experience better and gives people that opportunity to actually alter the story (not break it). For example, if the rules were: Do this and do that, don’t do this. Then you’ll have all the people in your group doing the same exact thing. That leaves no space for any alterations. Over the weekend, I went to a traditional haunted house and right up front, the rules were 1) don’t touch the props, 2) don’t touch the actors. That means everyone is going to have the same experience (walking through and looking). You couldn’t interact, you couldn’t change anything, but within Tension, you can. If you push too hard on something that isn’t alterable, then they let you know. I experienced this when I went through and I think a few others did. So while there aren’t written rules, I feel like they let you know when you’re on thin ice.

The more I think about this and speak to others, I think there’s a fine line between trying to alter your path and breaking your path (which no one wants to do). I think there are things that you HAVE to do inside (whether is be for safety reasons or story reasons or something else) and things that you still have to do, but can alter the way you do it or it’s done. Look at it like this…if you want to play Monopoly, you can’t refuse to roll the dice right? But once you roll the dice, you can choose to buy a property or not. You can’t refuse to move after you roll the dice either. It’s all how you play the game.

Wow…between @reaton ‘s call (I was there when it happened and could see his reaction) and this…I don’t know what to do or believe anymore

[MikeParticipant]

Holy crap @kasch – Amazing! I wonder if the Omega Council got to her! Or if she was on the run this whole time. Keep us posted!

[MikeParticipant]

@sweeneyskip – Welcome and good luck tomorrow! It will be something that will stick with you, that’s for sure

I also want to say, that all of this, your decisions, your _path, your choices…are your own. It’s important to look at all the information that’s presented. Remember, there are always 2 sides to every story and just because there are members on this forum trying to pump you full of “information”, doesn’t mean they are right. It also doesn’t mean the other side is “right”. It’s a matter of perception. I just think it’s funny that the people calling the OOA out for brainwashing are basically trying to do the same thing to new people by saying all the negative that they PERCEIVE and told is happening (meaning, no facts, no personal accounts…just “we were told this”). Perception is a bitch. No one talks about the good that the OOA has done or that they’ve “perceived” they’ve done

Get ready for the fun…

[MikeParticipant]

Yeah, I get that…and then they took precautions after she went to the lab to “correct” the issue and ensure we don’t see what we’re not meant to. I feel that if we were meant to see it, there’d be a way. Also, this isn’t a drop, so all we see is a scan (and not a real piece of paper with marker on it). Another reason I think this doesn’t lead to a website. At least not yet anyway.

Here’s the thread on the letter that Mumu got – http://thetensionexperience.com/forums/topic/the-letter/

For the crossed out address, I think there might be 2 clues to ignore it (in my opinion)
1) it’s crossed out, so we weren’t meant to see it (and @mkarrett isn’t meant to take it to her Batman lab to decipher)
2) web address don’t have “characters” in them like @ or &.

I did try to email truthconspiracy@web.net and it got bounced back as undeliverable, so that’s not it either. Web.net is a hosting company in Canada though.

Is the OOA the disease? Or the ODSM?

If it’s the latter, shouldn’t we take a scalpel and remove it as cleanly as we can to ensure the infection doesn’t spread?

Or will you believe the entire body to be infected and that to save it, it must be destroyed?

@mumumusings – I think there is still good within the OOA. I think there are people inside who remember the way it was and want to keep the traditions. The thing is though, the “OOA” name is soiled now because of the OSDM and BoS. So while the entire organization may not be bad, the name is bad. I feel like it needs to be destroyed and built up again and post a fancy new “under new management” sign on the front door.

I think of it like this…if you have a favorite band and after a few records, they change members and change style but keep the name….is it the same band that you knew and loved? No, it’s just a name…a brand at that point. If the old members of that band created a new band, under a new name, and played music that made you like the original band in the first place, wouldn’t it be better to “destroy” the first band name and follow the new one?

[MikeParticipant]

Never forget this piece of advice –

“Lesson to the class- support that which you built. You constructed this, not us. Always defend that which is yours. ”

You stand by and defend what you believe in @mumumusings

Granted, BoS will also defend what they believe in…hence…waarrrrrrr

[MikeParticipant]

Oh totally @reaton – I know you’re never paran…..hey why is that guy staring at you?

[MikeParticipant]

Kinda wish we had not mentioned it publicly.

No…it NEEDS to be publicly said. They can burn and shred a paper trail, but they can’t delete a podcast from everyone who has heard it. If something goes down, we need it documented and we need people to know what lead up to things.

[MikeParticipant]

Holy crap! Good job @mkarrett ! How did you figure that out?

[MikeParticipant]

Tomorrow, when you wonder why you got so many new Twitter followers, just remember this post 😀
