"He went to war"... I said "I" which looks like one of those Freudian slips.
As a long time Freudian, I wouldn't deny it.
Quakers are permitted to use war metaphors. "Outward weapons" are
what's despised meaning "inward weapons" must be OK, but what are
those.
It's a similar lingo to "jihad" (meant spiritually / inwardly) and so Lambs War.
"Speak Truth to Power" by Bayard Rustin & Co. has some links to
"jihad" as well -- a lot of my links have worn away over the years
(the Web is like water in that way).
