Hey we managed to post at the same time in two different time zones. Cyberspace, don't you just love it!

Welcome again Doug! :)-->

Tom, maybe they should figure out a way to use their snoop/deductive skills against the acid queen. You know kind of like that old Robert Redford/Paul Newman movie Sting. If they are smart enough they may even figure out how to walk away with a sack dinner brimming over with gorp and pbj's. LMAO!

While I agree we can think I stand on my assessment above. Which includes both sides of the issues. With myself having posted and deleted before hitting post button more than once. ;)-->

WordWolf, at risk of assumption I think you're referring to this "And not that I would want to do a study of it but wouldn't it be interesting to see if there is a Red Thread (so to speak) of Satan in every book of the Bible." And I agree about the work required. As well, it could be a bummer to focus on the subject matter for long periods of time for myself. But I may yet tackle it someday. :)-->

Are you boys enjoying what is going on over in Open? It must fit into your description of us reprobates rather nicely about now eh? Hopefully it will resolve itself and us not have to mark and avoid each other. --> But don't get too friken comfy there boys. It's your leaders past and present that help set us up for this crap in the first place. And unlike you, we have an opportunity to kiss and make up with hopefully only a few bruises. But you'll still be sitting there hoping we get into another mud fight while your acid queen controls your every move. As bad as this crap here is of late, we still have the chance for escape.

I'm amazed anyone even noticed this thread with all the activity over in 'Open'. But George when I peeked in here and saw you had posted it brought a smile to my heart. I like you, you old curmudgeon you. Thanks guys for your time. Things to attend to...later!

Go figure! :D-->

We received this while in twi, but did it originate from them? And not that I would want to do a study of it but wouldn't it be interesting to see if there is a Red Thread (so to speak) of Satan in every book of the Bible.

You folks are freaking me out! Welcome LongHauler/aka..Doug!

Sudo...Sudo (spoken with my mouth full of cotton) after all I did for your family, umm wait, I don't know your family. Well after all I did for my family, yea that'll work...and you treat me with this disrespect. You tell UncleHairy it was you that hid the song (by the way, I much prefer the one over in Brando thread :)-->) but oh no when I ask was it you what do I get, huh? I get your lawyer acquaintance would probably advise you against incriminating yourself but oh let UncleHairy mention the hidden music and you admit it to him. And after all I did for your family, umm oh yea, well okay then what can I do for your family? Yea that may work. :P--> Man oh man, a person leaves this joint for a day and the place goes bonkers. I think there should be some code of honor around here. If it goes bonkers you have to advise everyone so we can come read this stuff real quick, before it gets edited into eraser land. ;)--> Great looking family Sudo!

Thanks lindyhopper, that's pretty much what I remember also. You nailed it on their using it as part of their superiority complex. Back to Tombstone.....I got your huckleberry. :P-->

Question! We were taught in twi that the holocaust didn't happen the way history portrayed it. And that book was part of the explanation for such. However, I could have sworn the author later corrected himself on having stated what he did about the holocaust. Yet I don't recall it ever being addressed in twi. Any help on that?

Sudo, tell your lawyer friend I will make him an offer he can't refuse. Now tell me was it you? And I promise I would never hurt a perfectly good horse. ;)-->

Am I the only one hearing Godfather music. Sudo is it hidden in your post somewhere? Cool!

Refiner, may I impose on you to tell me where your link to the JW discussion forum is. I can't locate it and wanted to snoop there for a bit. Thank you! :)--> Found it, thanks anyway (edited to tell you this ;)-->).

This thread is delightful! :)-->

WordWolf, thank you very much man! I had managed to avoid posting in this thread. Then you had to go make me spew coffee all over my screen. I am like so angry at you right now. :D-->

Well...exceptin' Alice which Garth already reminded us we can't get...we can't get garbage. "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope under that garbage."

It's a quote from the account of Arlo Guthrie's putting together a work called Alice's Restaurant. I have several years on you so can understand why it may sound a bit crazy. It was mentioned a couple times in above posts. It was a wild time back then, when once I was young like you. :)-->

He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind! We're gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington"! And, friends, somewhere in Washington, enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm singin' you the song now is 'cause you may know somebody in a similar situation. Or you may be in a similar situation, and if you're in a situation like that, there's only one thing you can do: Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink, . . . you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant", and walk out. You know that stuff will give you a mental infection leading to flashback reflection. Where cyberspace folks give an inspection and if desired place their rejection. Including injection of a sense of dejection. :P-->

Steve, political correctness is against my religion. ;)-->

Last night I mentioned my holding back when offended here, stating my thankfulness for the most part when done. But this morning after reading your heart post I have to speak more. I can not prove with tangle touch for one to see the existence of God in my life. And that in itself would support those who feel He does not exist. Yet I know if I could prove it that also would be attributed to some other source like fate, the stars were in alignment or the like. Stated recently by one here they lost no sleep over not trying to convince people that God is real. TWI taught me to not fully share outside the household and at first that was such bondage for me. Here I found ones that understood that thinking so it was easier. Today I try to learn from all things, but like you have found myself feeling like a traitor inside and I still don't understand that fully. Work in process. Attributing blame to God is probably my thinnest skin issue on GS. One other is a mighty close second but that one shall hold to myself for the time being. If a man who puts one pants leg on at a time is capable of removing my belief in God or His goodness then the belief was not rooted to start. And I have no doubt that will offend some here. But like the one that said they lost no sleep for not trying to convince people that God is real, I shall lose none for my opinion stated either. As for learning from Refiner, I still believe I can. But I have not let his beliefs move me from mine one iota. Dot, I can not convey my thoughts regarding your heart, if I could be completely honest with you as to who I am and what we hold mutually it would make it easier but that is not available. I love your bravery and your conviction!!!!!

WaywardWayfer, how true! If they in fact were the "faithful household" that one could depend upon it would not be conditional. Jesus Christ was faithful and desired to take care of our needs, which he did an awesome job of providing by way of the new birth. Yet those 'few' that would call themselves the "faithful household" will turn you away in a heartbeat once you leave the ministry. I can count on one hand the number that didn't in my life. The greatest example of a disciple that could be trusted with my needs I foolishly pushed out of my life this weekend. Yet I wonder did those who pushed me out of theirs when I left twi feel anything even remotely close to the pain I now hold. Sadly I suspect not, they are too blinded in that household of theirs. :(-->

Your welcome.
