sorry.. it's easier for a .. what were your words.. Ha! A sexual deviant (?) me, no. drunkard? perhaps at times, yes. to figure it out, for myself.. scary thoughts.. sorry, I'm not taking anything here personally, but on the other hand I am..

Christ.. just do your job, you internet searching and reporting sonsabitch.. do I have to tell you EVERYTHING? I mean.. what's the big deal here? There are what.. about a half dozen posts or so worth reporting.. friggin moron..

personally.. I think the older we become.. the more spiritual we become.. if we are lucky.. that does apply to those who run the vile organization.. if my premise is true.. how miserable must they be.. no, there is no antidote.. all I can think.. there is a place.. do we want to meet, or do we not.. *mr*(?) linder.. or pudgy once muscle bound replacement.. please forward these posts to the appropriate parties. thank you.

what I wonder is why *they* still consider the organization to be so important.. that's really it isn't it? Magnify a little known religious hoot above the bad manners and sins of it's founder and successor.. and successors.. is it just because of the MONEY they raked in in the "good years"? "if you continue on the right path mah son.. one day.. you will inherit the reins over an over-rated 501 C.." I really think they believe its the goose which laid the golden egg.. maybe rosie is really being merciful here.. those who want more in life absolutely have to look for sustenance, somewhere else.. scary thought isn't it. a "witch" with a (more than slightly twisted) conscience.. makes sense to me. "go figure it out.. just don't touch my junk.." though my impression was.. "don't mess with my hookah.." ah yes. Why the "greatness" of da organization.. I really think it is one of the proverbial love/hate relationships..

Naw.. I thought that was resurrection sunday witch hunts..

Death in the tall grass? Interesting.. maybe there is supposed to be some connection to da way- "mogged in an Ohio cornfield" might provide a more fitting comparison..

I find the details intriguing. EIGHT bedrooms, NINE (?) bathrooms.. and its only valued at 508,000? The only thing I can think.. either it's a deal of a lifetime, or its a real dump.. Apparently its does not have central air conditioning either..

ha! the second case stares me in the eyes, from one moment to the next.. hmm.. both cases are the same, aren't they.. will I ever recover from it.. hmm.. heh ah yes. I remember a conversation with a student from Mexico.. he is in the graduate program.. "well.. nothing is guaranteed, is it.." "nope".. only problem he will have is an unsurmountable bill, payable to his government.. I hope he gets what he wants in life here..

I hope the baby does not look like her. It would be the scene out of Rosemary's baby..

Ha! At least apple cores have a possibility of actually producing something.. ah yes.. was it a meeting in Greenville Michigan? Many years ago.. Free apples for the eating.. the instructions were for the most part.. "screw the cores into the ground.. one out of four of them will germinate.."..

why couldn't people just SERVE.. if that is what they wanted to do.. I find myself in the same situation.. sometimes I think the only reason I'm here, at some particular moment in time.. is to try to figure out how to help some student to pass Math 105.. I'd just give them all a free pass.. but there would be some serious consequences.. The Sowers people need me to teach an Algebra class.. Adjunct faculty.. then maybe we can think about Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus.. Well. It's just a twisted dream.. I'll find it somewhere..

as far a corps "sponsorship".. it was JUST MONEY. *we* (or I) were every as much as "deceived" as the poor bloke who had the privilidge of sitting at "da man of gawd(?)'s" feet.. so we were flim flammed together.. I'm sorry it cost you in terms that it did not cost me.. but then again, it did cost me, didn't it..

maybe they'll take a lesson from gramps. Invite me to speak at their advanced class.. so interesting.. gramps and Arthur Ford were friends.. bizarre.. Ha! that was it. The Superman world where nothing was where it belonged.. Bizarro..

the sad thing here.. I am the best friend that they possibly could have.. and they will never figure it out.. I shouldn't say never.. pigs can fly. It's happened before..

I'm surprised rocky hasn't weighed in on this (yet once again..) the whole "problem" with da sowers thingy.. I was invited. No, not by the now whoever is in charge, but gramps. No strangers at "da way".. is it "da way" or isn't it? new name, different farm.. weather perhaps slightly more hospitable in February.. oh yeah.. not to mention one of the "keeds" sold his soul to me for a tank of gas.. so I was invited. Are you going to attempt to pull in the welcome mat at this late date? there are more than a few reasons your "prayers" haven't done much to change the situation here.. yeah.. I know the "drill".. why didn't it work..

Yeah.. if all it was was a scam.. we would have had to scammed ourselves.. heh.. well, there could be stranger things..

Ha! as rational as I can be.. I can't conclude that.. maybe I'm just a dreamer..

sorry.. it is happening eveywhere.. where do we go from here.. friends, or are we not.. sorry if this is asking too much..

Ha! he was such.. a friggin moron.. rock, ...... without penile inducing drugs.. he didn't stand a chance.

I remember the bar scene of the very late sixties.. there were some (reallY) uncomely "ladies"(?) taking their positions at the bar.. sorry if this seems... what is the word.. heartless? no, that's not it.. it's just an observation.. so in the Anchor Bar.. there were feminine what is the word.. all I can say. The young guys called them.. "ugly".. somehow the very old card holders didn't care.. rosie is no different here.. I wish.. Chip Davies would come here to contribute.. he "witnessed" to these poor souls in the bar.. I'm trying to understand as well.. Mr. Davies was my teacher in Physics.. what do you have to say now, friend..

There was an old proverb.. any port in a storm..

because.. there was not anything better AT THE MOMENT.. they ended up being a tired, well used prostitute.. I'm sure you have the same opinion, to the extent of YOUR experience.. sorry if I'm wrong here..it's just a thought..

that is the whole "devil" of the thing. suppose the u.s. of A enacted law stating debt to be illegal. There is some check and balance in the Constitution.. something about post-facto law.. in other words, they don't have the power to make a whole bunch of people engaging in previously legal activities and label them felons, at the stroke of some executives pen.. apparently that does not apply to da almighty bulbous representatives of da way.. I don't know why followers put up with it.. taxation (tithery) without representation..

yeah.. what if the transmission, or fuel pump.. or whatever it is went out on my car.. maybe I'm lucky. I keep enough cash in the account so I can ride the damned bus if I have to to fulfil my commitments.. I know a lot of people don't even have that..

So what is the motivation? i.e. behind the no "debt" policy? No student loans.. a less educated, and less skilled following? no car loans.. no reliable to hq within the magic 150 miles or something? no house loans. No "commitment" in terms of dollars and cents, to something outside of da house-hole money pit.. credit cards. I have to partially agree.. "its not a good idea" if you can't pay. There is a modern alternative, a DEBIT card. Not really any more costly than a checking account. Credit cards can end up being extreme usuary. for debit cards.. now you sign an agreement with the bank. "in the event I try to debit more than the account balance, I either: 1. Authorize the bank to pay, and charge me exhorbitant fees.. or 2. You will decline the transaction, on the spot.. which one do you think I chose? the lady behind the counter explained some people like the buffer, in case they need some kind of emergency loan at the spur of the moment. I still declined. I'd rather beg.. :
