Well, thanks for the ritual OBKB. Just how many of you are there? I'm thinking it would work better this way: Insight, knowledge, wisdom. One has insight into a situation or condition and builds upon that insight a body of knowledge which, when used wisely produces salutary results. So then, the ritual goes:"We baptize you in the words of Insight (Holy Spirit), knowledge (Son), and Wisdom (Father). Unless the ritual wont let you change the names around. Some won't and there is just nothing you can do about it. Let's try"We baptize you in the words Insight (Son), Knowledge (Father), and Wisdom (Holy Spirit). I think it works either way. How'bout you? We could use white candles for the Holy Spirit, red ones for the Son and that big purple one for the Father...yes...the big purple one...for Daddy...I like it. Daddy. Realisticly this takes three people minimum and not more than six because it gets kinda growded but then I've known it to work with a dozen or more but that takes way lots of planing and the clean up...well, I don't have to tell you do I. So get back to me soonest. Sounds like fun.

PS. I was thinking that if there are a lot of you all the big ritual might just work. Take a head count and let me know. Kisses to Poopsie!

(edit) PSS I just got off the phone with Larry and they haven't opened the pool yet so that's out but I have that wonderful cut
glass bowl we fill it with rain water and dip and sprinkle one of those old silver tea steepers works great for that. I'm just so excited! See ya soon.

If your response to my post; ”I am married, OBKB “ presupposes an invitation other than intellectual investigation then I owe you an apology.

This sentient being was not endowed with knowledge of wisdom nor insight at birth.
However with time and experience I have acquired some knowledge that collectively represents a bit of wisdom. Some of the wisdom gained through the acquisition of knowledge could be used to determine the outcome of a given set of events. Some insight is intuitive, some requires analysis.

This one was born with a lesser endowment regretably. In time no doubt the pain will lessen. It offers no insight. The knowledge of it determines its' outcome but no set of events give me the wisdom to analyze it and the collective is tired of hearing about it.

It was pre-emptive rather than presumptive.

I try not to presume.

Okay I'm confused. Is OBKB here only to see if he/she/it can prove that he/she/it is more intelligent than the rest of us? And why would someone need to do that?
