I only post this for some sense of balance, because Jerry Olsen's post always 
have a tone of declaration! This is the way it is! But fact is his 
experiences 
are only his experiences, nothing more. The regulars know he is very 
opinionated, and those opinions have cost some of us believers plenty of cash 
too.
I consider Jerry a friend of sorts, but  these posts of his, leave me shaking 
my head!
