My Kol Nidre 16May2013

__ My experience with human religion was: "should's & shouldn't's," so in my transpersonal-experience; I've narrowed my preferred value-systems from 4,015 down to 7:
1) progressive, scholarly LDS-Christians 
2) http://NewThoughtAlliance.org/ & UUniversalists 
      http://icUU.net/ (they overlap)
3) Sikh-humanist
5) pragmatic, international, Buddhist-humanisthttp://www.sgi.org/
6) peaceful, inclusive Muslims: Ahmadiyyas & Sufis 
7) Jewish-humanists http://www.shj.org/

__ Then later I further narrowed it down to these orgs which overlap & seemed to me to be doing the most & best of what the world needed to survive & progress:
5) pragmatic, international, Buddhist-humanisthttp://www.sgi.org/ 

__ For 51yrs:6mos:15dys I have struggled & struggled via various value-system-associations to constructively-influence this world toward greater HAPPINESS for all. 
__ I measured my constructive-influences by how many individuals I influenced to progress, e.g.:
~ be healthier thru vegetarianism & halfathons, 
or 
~ complete college & join Mensa, 
or 
~ join upscale societies & have fulfilling relationships, 
or 
~ become a little wealthier, 
or 
~ enjoy more recreation, 
or
~ be more in-ethic. 

__ Working thru many orgs (e.g., IARF International Association for Religious Freedom, etc., etc.) I struggled & struggled to help various clerics see the need to quantify their progress, but almost all of them want to do is just be as P.C. and vanilla as possible to secure their jobs and never make any definitive statements or strides FORWARD to greater MEASURABLE world happiness. 

__ Finally 16May2013 I had enough, my patience reached its end, and I pronounced my personal Kol-Nidre declaration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol_Nidre):
"All vows, oaths or pledges I made or am likely to make, I publicly renounce. Let them all be relinquished & abandoned, null & void, neither firm nor established. Let my vows, oaths & pledges be considered neither vows, nor oaths, nor pledges."
So since then I'm ONLY a Vinnieosophist
