Awe... ((((group)))) ... now everybody... koom-bai-ya my lord...

...now that's funny!

I knew some guys that were given the "choice" of going to jail or going to Nam... but none of them were 'violent' crimes...

Don't know it... sounds like Dylan though...

we used to do it a long, long time ago like Galen describes in his post... glad I wasn't around for the wonder years...

I didn't 'hear' her saying that... and I thought her post (right above) was pretty well thought out and interesting... have you read it? what are your thoughts on THE POST?

OM... you're working on your merit badge as well aren't you?

we would if we could Rhino... well, truth be told we would probably send them somewhere else... but we have lots of empty space down here... ...just remember to keep an eye on the 'dry line'...

Mink Dick? Fur Crook? Mink President? Fur Politician?

Obviously you've never seen "The Exorcist"... a little movie that came out in 1973... or you wouldn't make that statement!

Do YOU? ...didn't think so... IF you have something, anything that might lead one to believe they did... please do post it.

Suda, I'm getting to know you from your recent posts just as I've gotten to know your husband from his... you seem like good folks... both of you. But I do have to say that I'm kind of uncomfortable reading about this here... and I really have gotten 'uncomfortable' reading the replies of "those who think they have all of the answers"... I appreciate what you two are trying to figure out and what I perceive you're trying to get to... I just don't like it being thrown out here for the wolves to pounce on since you both "visit" here often... Like I said... my perception is that you're both fine folks with good hearts... that's a good combination.

What Belle said... for the most part... :)

huh? ... oh yeah... You're correct George... just a tidbit of the genius of Brian Wilson... ...I had a feeling it would only take that one line.

what in tar nation is up with the weather? yesterday we hit 100 at my house... today it's supposed to be 98... and then mid 90's tomorrow... I'm not watering yet... if Jesus is sending this weather then he must want it to be desert...

ooh! ooh! Mr Kotter... I'm so sorry.. but I've been wanting to put this one out there (cuz it's been clanking around in my head for two days)... (please forgive me wasway) You guys should be able to get it from this one line: this is the worst trip I've ever been on

WOW... you don't check in for a couple of days and just when you think the little trolls can't get any more bizarre they kick it into overdrive! I won't address their little rants... for me to be affected by them I'd have to actually give a sh1t about what they're saying... which they proved long ago to not be worth my time... On the other hand: here we have johniam in his Dr Jekyll (or is it Mr Hyde?) personna trying to muddy the waters by ranting about how it's about "those of us who recognize VPW's good"... You're really pitiful johniam and for some unexplained reason I expected more of you... the little trolls are catching so much heat because they keep saying "VPW did no wrong"... flat out... categorically... no wrong... are you working on your troll merit badge, too?

I'm kind of leaning this way as well... no offense Freud, but you mentioned in your first post that “some of my work centers around the various aspects of religious belief and the dynamics of cults and religious leaders.” Then later you said “I have an interest in cult groups and dynamics that drive the leadership of such groups. It may seem suspicious that someone with this interest and background would by chance encounter a notorious cult leader..but that is exactly what has happened.” And I guess I’m picking nits here, or maybe I just misunderstood… but first you referenced it as “some of your work” and the second time it was “an interest”… I suppose it could be work you are interested in, or an interest as well as your work… I guess that’s not a big deal, I’m just a little leery here… mainly wondering how someone whose “work” or “interest” was the “dynamics of cults and religious leaders” didn’t already know about The Way International (TWI) or L Craig Martindale until accidentally stumbling on the material the other day… As Satori said: “I hope you'll continue to post your thoughts and impressions. True or false, you have my attention.” I’m curious to see where this goes…

well... it is centrally located...

yes... but... as usual... a sweet one from myseestortothenorth... who is in charge of refreshments tonight? is afterfellowship still in the sonlight room tonight or back around the pond?

I'm sorry Dave... THE doesn't really exist outside of your cyberworld... (said in HAL 9000 voice)

Perhaps we could all get together and buy it... and turn it into "The Greasespot Cafe"...

Bird in Paradise?

Girl in Paradise?

so Belle... have you added "Greasespot Radio Star" to your resume?
