??? Isn't that the dude in the Harry Potter movies with the cat named Mrs Norris???

TWI, the leaders in the field, never in print that I know of, PROMOTED abortion as an acceptable form of birth control. This was rampant, in all parts of the country that I was in, in the 70's. Given the continued vagueness about sex outside of marriage that continued (maybe still continues today?), I see no reason to think it wouldn't still have been counseled as a viable form of birth control in the 80's and 90's. And we all know (ginosko) how things can be presented in "counsel"... often (not always) as YOU WILL DO THIS or YOU NEED TO DO THIS... that's no surprise to anyone present I would think. Rascal's account fits perfectly with experiences many of us had ... as far as feeling there wasn't really a "choice"... So I don't really understand what the "hub bub" is all about. Her account fits perfectly with what was going on within TWI. Her personal anguish and other feelings are just that... personal. Those are something that I won't know about experientially for the same reason as her, but I do know those feelings for other reasons. I'm sure many do. I'm guessing that's why folks posted here in her defense. I know that's why I did. Some of the posts on this thread do not even merit a reply. They're outlandish and ridiculous.

Mark, these learned folk... what would we do without them? If you can spare the dough, go get a new PC that can run XP like John Hegotout suggested... 98 itself is probably the cause of a lot of the slowness you still experience... then do the other stuff these guys suggest...

These last few posts are interesting... I'm curious to see what they'll send to me... if they don't "lose" it... Back in the 70's they would only sell PFAL books and collaterals to grads... the other stuff was fair game... looks like they changed that according to Radar's post, and she would know...

Wayfer, Yes, next season (whenever that happens) is the final. I think the empty house happened this season, wasn't it when Tony cleaned out the "Movie Room" of all of the A/V equipment and furniture? I don't think there was an episode where Janice and Bobby got married, this season just kind of opened that way. ...at least that's what I remember through the haze....

great bro! have fun!.... umm... cast your net over here my son...

well Imbus... you just find me... I'll be the guy with the ice chest full of Shiner...

...it's the "drive by" thing!

You're right Raffy, but if someone wished to know who I was it's not hard to figure out... (if you sift through the zillion posts)...ShegotJohn, I'll get you one if I get my "list"... (or do you think they'll take a long time filling my order?)

guess that settles that!

well... I didn't get transferred to anyone else... just asked who I was (I told them)... they looked me up and found me (how they did this I don't know since I got out so long ago)... I did mention a family member's name who was still in... hmmm ... maybe that was it... I'll let you know if I do in fact get the stuff in the mail...

yeah... that's the ticket! ...as long as it's not in Texas in July!

OM... maybe you're on the "approved" list! Or maybe, just maybe... they have PR's number in the computer, and whenever a call is received from that number it gets routed to a 'special operator' to handle with the utmost urgency... that's gotta be it! I called and I'm still in their computer! ...they're going to send me a product list! ...she even wanted to know if I wanted to subscribe to The Way Magazine or STS tapes! Hooray! now I won't have to pay those outrageous prices on Ebay!!!

How about Sean Penn as Del?

Bramble... we'll be out in the hall, to the left...

we must always remember when lecturing and preaching to folks, that it's important to 'point' with your palm open, all fingers pointing away... so as not to point any fingers back at yourself...

So now what happens??? a) with Johnny Sack and the gang in prison, Tony gets to take over NY 2) Little Carmine comes back north and takes over c) Johnny Sack and the NY guys think they've got nothing to lose and go to war with Tony 4) Tony wakes up from his dream hahahahahahahahahaha ...even though we didn't have a huge blood bath in the last episode... I thought the last episode did a good job of showing Tony's 'turmoil'.... And on Kimmell last night, during his opening bit, he walks down the street and stops at a dumpster and finds the picture and brings it inside! ...funny...

Mr. Hailey in the sixth grade was amazing!

If this were going to be a "Bible Meeting"... I'd probably still go... I'll hang out in the back or in the hallway if I feel uncomfortable... but I doubt that I'll feel that way... most of the time I manage to create my own 'environment' :D-->... I'll focus on meeting the folks I don't know, reconnecting with the ones that I do... and have fun... Imbus, you can hang with me if you like... dmill, relax man... it's just where she's at right now... you're somewhere different, so am I, people feel and believe differently... it's OK for that to be... there's plenty of room for everyone...

man! ... why does it still 'feel' like I'm missing something here?

will everyone be "tapped down" at the door to make sure they don't have any string on them?

man! ... I must've missed something here... I better get myself in order...

Sure... heard this lots of times in the mid to late 70's... thought it was kind of a goofy saying... but heard it many times nonetheless...
