Ham

So did rosie see her shadow this year, or not?

reminds me of Abrahams' prayer for Sodom.. interesting.. their ugliness was not abated one bit.. so God answers the prayer, and Lot finds himself on the outside of the city walls..

No, I wasn't around to pray for the "dear". I just don't see how she could be worse.. or any uglier.. just sayin..

so why didn't it work? I mean.. look at rosie. Didn't change her spots any..

In other words, da "adversary" has them exactly where he wants them..

sheesh.. that pic reminds me of a visit to wally mart one evening.. No kidding.. no drugs were involved.. from what I saw, you'd think so.. :biglaugh:

OK. I'll place it down. Face down, and back, slowly, slowly, away..

If so, I hope it is far more encompassing.. than some little movement in California, or New York..

why is it.. the third lady in the back row from the left of they guy in a bad tuxedo.. looks like the living dead.. really.. pale skin, like.. exposure to sunlight is verboten or something.. the rest of them.. just look drained..

Jumping Deer? No no no. That's just another banking industry scam. You know, deer aren't so smart. They can't figure out how to cash their paychecks (or is that unemployment checks.. hmm) So these opportunists set up these little stands, marked deer x-ing. The deer make their x on their paychecks, witnessed by a notary, and from behind *wham*, the hammer hits. And the perpetrators go laughing all the way to the bank (and to the butcher shop). well.. it makes more sense than a lot of twi's stowries..

its really, really weird.. like some kind of strange waltz.. strange dance.. anybody who gets that reference.. wins the boobie prize.. The flamenco dancers of death..

But as far as close encounters of the TWI kind.. *they* never gave me an offer to come back.. its almost comical.. there is one family I run into a member at least once a year.. They say.. "say hello to so and so (the ex).." I say "wonderful.. how is so and so doing? (they kicked own kid out of the house.. )" "oh, they are doing FINE..."

I would have been better off driving through downtown flint or detroit.. rolling down the windows, and throwing the money out.. at least nobody would have confronted me or thrown me out of town or anything..

ya know.. this was supposed to be a freaking CHURCH for crying out loud.. we sent tithes and offerings into a brothel..

I thought she was one of loy's "pets"..

Same here

so in essence, *they* have reneged on supposedly God's deal.. their precious money is a curse.. think about it.. they have to put on a nice twi(g) face, get in front of the few followers that are left, and scheme up some kind of godly action they are supposed to be following, month after month, year after year.. I'll bet it eats rosies stomach out..

maybe he thought his was a kinder, gentler version.. from what I've read.. he wasn't QUITE as depraved as Crowley.. but his "ministry(?)* was based in rural Ohio.. some of the more bizarre blood and sex rituals might not sit very well with the locals..

this shows it was supposed to be kept in a "lockbox".. using sex for magickal purposes.. isn't it the same thing? Loosen up so you can be da manogawd you really want to be?

Yep.. sure is isn't it.. and it seems Crowley employed the same bait and switch routine, with regards to his version of da magick of believing (will).. seems the inner few really got what they "wanted".. all kinds of sex, etc. etc.. and it was supposed to be "lockbox" material.. to the rest, it was "spiritual" abundance that was "available".. even on the level of an organization, the similarities are striking..

from the quoted article: compare the vicster's theology.. and recommendation to loy to "loosen up in that area.." to become a great *minister* or something..

Seems remarkably similar to "Crowleyism".. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema despite claims to the contrary.. seems lots of these guys end up feeding their own lusts..

Fedora 10. I have the movie player installed.. it plays video from YouTube OK..

Its probably the rant about the brown's consequences to offspring due to lack of faithfulness or something.. my linux machine won't open it. But I think I've heard it before..
