It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 3, 2010

The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more
