safari... I too enjoyed the comedy from the past... the socks and tuttle show would be a hit on 'comedy thursday' (well, at least a lot better than 'Joey')... I guess on this thread it is kind of relevant since the 'nature' of the thread (as I take it) was that there were (now) 3 VPs at TWI (which was new news then)... I think...

wasway... dude! you do always do the older ones... wouldn't it be nice if we were younger...

dooj, I'll guess "3 days of the condor"... In the meantime, if you get here quick enough, could you edit your post and put all of the images on different lines? (that way the screen won't expand!) If you don't get here in time... we'll just wait for the next page! And George... now it's YOUR TURN!! (again)

Hey Ron... I think I've found the cause of your cat's problem... is that an egg carton in the picture? Keep that cat away from the eggs man!

someday maybe your eyes will be opened ck... someday... for your sake, hopefully soon...

Starman... did I miss something? Has TWI taken credit for the concept of 'home fellowships' or 'self-sustaining home fellowships'? I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ here (for once), I just didn't know they had taken credit for that as well...

I agree that the story was more than likely a result of a TWI PR move... but there is a remote chance that it is also the result of proud parents making the call themselves... it's not out of the realm of possibility. You guys know well how I feel about TWI... and if I've been reading them right the last couple of years, it's all been about improving their public image... so... that being said, I can see them wanting to change the way the community views their kids as well... and I can see them 'lightening up' a bit and allowing the kids to be involved in the things this young lady is... I know (at least I'm pretty sure) that none of you folks think anything bad about the young lady, and I know that you're speaking of TWI but I think the larger picture here is that we should be happy for her and wish her well... and maybe I'm taking all of this wrong but the tone (for lack of a better word) on this thread just doesn't 'feel right' to me... but that's just me... I don't think TWI has changed their 'core beliefs', and I don't think that they actually wanted to 'loosen the apron strings' either... but I also think that they've probably felt like they had to do something, anything to try and change the public perception of them... whether they like it or not... So what I'm saying is all of this seems legit to me... it doesn't change how I feel about TWI because I know about TWI... but I'm happy for the young lady... sounds like she's got a fighting chance once she gets older... At least that's my take on it...

I'll wait to weigh in until after this gets moved to the politic and tacks area... but... Part of me thinks that "the Arab World" would go on attacking us if we "dropped" them... and Part of me thinks we should just move them over here... or somewhere else... But all of me thinks something's got to change... that much I know...

hmmm... something to do with a russian...

...let's see if he can offset A-Rod... I'm betting not...

What's with the stubble? Do they get slack on the rules during spring training? I liked these couple of lines: good article...

great... just great... Adam Eaton is going to start the season on the DL... same finger problem as last year...

Of course you are correct Sir George... pretty soon I'm going to run out of Kevin Smith movies...

Well... I don't know if they're a 'surprise' team or not with all of their off season activity... but your boys better take heed of the Bluejays... In the NL it's probably going to be the usual suspects but I think the Brewers might do better than folks expect... there's just not many teams over there that impress me... It will be interesting to see how the Padres do with their two 'Ranger' pitchers (Park and Young) in a ballpark known to be pitcher friendly. We are excited about the stRangers though... but the AL West is tough... Anybody else got any ideas?

Here's an easy one:

why whatever do you mean?... moi?

Help out my simple mind please obi-Johnuare... what does one have to do with the other? (a corporate charter vs an internet presence)

Clemens will reportedly attend the Rangers' opener against Boston on Monday, as the guest of Tom Hicks.

Dooj- Why wouldn't God 'smile' upon folks defending Him and His Word? This thread (along with any involving Mike) always gets 'stuck' in the same pattern of Mike throws out his unorthodox opinions as 'statements of truth' and others state theirs in that they believe they are only Mike's opinions and they believe they are "not of God". For those who take the discourse seriously I think it actually helps them 'bone up' and re-affirm what they believe. Of course this too is just my opinion. Personally, I think God has a lot of other bigger things to occupy His time than what banter takes place on a message board called GSC. But if that's the way you feel then that's the way you feel.

Ex10 said: I think your and your husband's record speaks for itself... maybe God knew His plan for you guys better than TWI or the church leaders...

Rhino... that was kind of "out of left field" wasn't it? I was totally taken by surprise by that comment.

Is that the name of Geer's deal?

Mike... that's exactly why I think your doing a Myspace.com thing would really be a neat thing...

Look back six months, look forward six months, see anything different?

BB: birds fart? That's funny... I thought all they did was sh+t on you!
