aw Linzee... you can come work with me at the sno-cone stand!

I can't tell you anything the others haven't already said here... but... if you'd like to an indication of how it will all "pan out" go to a fellowship with her... and ask (in a loud enough voice to be overheard by others there)... ask them the questions about TWI... When they give you the same "canned" answers your girlfriend gives you, delve deeper... and also ask them how come they all have the same answers... is it because it's what they've been told to say? ...do they not think for themselves? ...how can they ignore all of the messes that have NOT EVER been dealt with but merely brushed under the rug? or don't... just remember, you cannot think of this (as others have said) as just two people from different denominations... it's not like that, it never will be...

no prob Jonny, just 'hit me wrong' I guess... I'd still like to hear from CES/STFI folks about the following: Is the existence of a 'Prophetic Council' that evidently plays a large part in the guidance of the folks who are running this "ministry" a commonly known thing? Or is it something that has been held "close to the vest" for only those at the top? And, if this wasn't 'common knowledge' doesn't it make you think twice about supporting this group in the future?

OK.. thanks... and I'm really not trying to make this about you personally but... Doesn't it make you think twice about supporting this group in the future? That (1) they could be doing this stuff without letting the folks know and (2) that John S. (who some say will be the next pres) evidently knew about it and (IMO) went along with it? (Those questions are for any of the CES/STFI folks out there BTW)

Dave, I know you're not. I know what you've posted before (and a couple of pages back)... So let me put it this way: In all the literature you've received, and all you've "known" about them, are you saying this is the first time you've ever heard of a "Prophetic Council"? ...or the first you've heard of all of the things going on between the individuals in the pdf files? I guess that question goes out to any of the other CES/STFI folks out there as well... Is the existence of a 'Prophetic Council' that evidently plays a large part in the guidance of the folks who are running this "ministry" a commonly known thing? Or is it something that has been held "close to the vest" for only those at the top? And, if this wasn't 'common knowledge' doesn't it make you think twice about supporting this group in the future?

...a few weeks??? dude! it's the hot time of the hot stove league!

Can we get us one of those prophetic councils like the CES/STFI folks have? niKa, it's the dancing dear... I tried to tell you... but I know how much you love it! ...as always, a call has been put in to the mothership.

The news that there is a "Prophetic Council"??? Is this "Prophetic Council" something that the rank and file of CES/STFI know about? ...practice? ...go along with?

'PROPHETIC COUNCIL'??? ...A FREAKING 'PROPHETIC COUNCIL'? Someone please tell me this is all just a big, malicious joke... (cuz it really is) Now for that I'll call you NAIVE... for not expecting folks to make the STFI/stiffy connection I'll call you innocent... ...must...not...comment...must...hold...tongue!!! Here's my question Jeff, if John has been on the board all this time, and knows of and endorses this 'Prophetic Council'... how will that be any different? Where is an example of this 'Prophetic Council' in the Bible in the Grace Admin? ...or anywhere that it could be construed as "of God" and "profitable"? Dave, do you buy into this 'prophecy council' stuff??? SWATRATTRA? ...is it just me or does that sound like the name of some super-hero from a cheap porn movie. BillyD, so there was a poor choice of words... how about these words: Folks are making a living off of other folks donations selling this kind of krap. Is that a 'fair-er' statement to you? ...gotta go dream on some things now... I wish you would have expressed this to her via PM, there was no need to do it here. Take it to heart...

oh well...

(tee hee)

Was that picture taken just before inviting it over "for dinner"...?

Rats! good job horned one!

methinks Simon is speaking of the back of the dromedary...

we're missing something here I think... (I wish I knew what it was!) Is it: something Velocity? (pile zsa city)

aww how sweet Belle... did you walk to school uphill both ways, too? (just funnin' witcha!)

I'll bet Rocky and Simon can see the mountains! myseestorEx... can you see the mountains?

OK... BTW, I have no clue on this one!

yeah... those BoSox and Mets are now 1b and 1c with the Yankees as far as payroll goes aren't they? It looks like Toronto is trying to tie up Wells for a few years... I don't know how he can turn down that kind of money... so my dream of him playing for his hometown team looks kind of bleak barring a trade... well, there's still T Hunter out there and while he didn't grow up here, he does live here... Mstar... where are you???

GSG: I would have thought that you would have put something in the "in Memoriam" section about the guy the came up with "the Green Hornet" and "the Pillsbury Doughboy"...

Funny TBone... I always heard that as "Silver and gold have I none since I joined TWI, but such as I have left give I thee, take my wife and kids please."

Well, let's see... we signed Lofton and Gagne... Mulder is in today for a visit... Zito's still unsigned... seems like a lot of 'treading water' kind of moves... I understand (I guess) bringing Lofton in for a year. He's still viable and it leaves us open to bring in Hunter or Wells or (Andruw) Jones next year when the CF derby starts. BUT at least one of those guys better be a stRanger next year. We're (still) being patient, but the general feeling around here is that we still need to ink another quality pitcher this year. Entertaining signing Mulder for the future (like StL did with Carpenter) is a risk, but could turn out good dividends... And Mstar... rumors are still circulating down here about Manny... also, what's up with Boras and "D-Mat"??? He's expecting the BoSox to pony up the money without even a physical? If he goes back to Japan they may bury him... but who knows with "the Baseball Anti-Christ" (Boras) involved...?

I can't see the mountains either slipper... and the sky is clear here!

Sometimes I might know the answer, sometimes I might not... but I do not cheat and do not appreciate being called a cheat... one has nothing to do with the other...

I just don't know why you insist on the disparaging remarks dooj... I thought we were friends...
