This afternoon I was standing at the sink, enjoying
Smooth Jazz on the radio, while doing the dishes.
Then I heard it. A fear monger had actually shelled out
plenty of peanuts to have his commercial
professionally produced. He then shelled out even
more denero to buy plenty of air time, late in the
afternoon, when fatigue and stress had suitably
softened-up the listeners, thus lowering their
resistance to his fear oriented commercial.

Vince Lombardi is famous for saying,
and he was correct. That’s right kids, those fear mongers
can sure be wily, clever and down-right strategic!

Yep, that radio fear monger was extra sneaky. He began the
commercial with a guest, giving his testimonial in a way that
made it sound like a hospital or an insurance commercial.

but, that if he had waited, it could have been fatal.
At this point it felt like an announcer would come on the air and
encourage all the listeners to heed all neurological symptoms. But
instead the guest then emotionally added,

THEN the announcer, a card carrying fear monger, uttered
cheerfully,
Which, of course, inferred eternal damnation for any and all who
fail to believe what he believes or practice how he practices. Then
he said,
Hmmmm, so let me see if I’ve got this straight. FIRST the fear
monger scares me, THEN he invites me to run into his arms?
Why? So he can manipulate me even further? Why would I do
that? So he can tell me what to believe, and what to do and what
to think?
Guys, fear is pain, fear is suffering. How could we possibly trust
someone who’s ethics are so dodgy that not only would they pull a
bait and switch, but they’d deliberately cause us to suffer in the
name of winning our souls. If someone is enthusiastically willing to
emotionally injure vast numbers of radio listeners, late in the
afternoon, when they’re tired, stressed and vulnerable then what
will he do to his congregation, no less the poor bastard who
actually stumbles into his office for a “counseling” appointment?
A very famous Jew once scolded,
Let’s not fall prey to the sticky webs, spun by our friendly,
neighborhood fear monger. Whether you fear Jewish-hell,
Christian-hell, Taoist-hell, Hindu-hell or Buddhist-hell…fear is
suffering and
I know! I’ve squandered decades of this life by allowing myself to
by pulled by the puppet strings of the fear of hell. Listen, insuring a
safe, wonderful, auspicious rebirth is easy. That is why I teach the
Karmic Dynamo, so you can purify your bad karma, so you can
multiply your good karma, so you can shed your selfish fear, so
you can replace it with something much better, so you can replace
it with devotion so you can add to it love, so you can add to it bliss,
so you can add to it peace so reserve your copy now
But don’t dally. There are only 10 days left to take advantage of
this month’s discount and I’d hate for you to miss out.

how he lost his ability to keep his balance; even when doing
