aye, aye aye..

True.. I generally try to rein it in though, use my provocative "powers" for the good of man.. sometimes I'm just trying to provoke a laugh.. people don't always take me the way I intend it.. Oh.. the roast. It's like Vegas. What happens at the roast generally stays at the roast.. or something like that.

Maybe we can convince Lilhawk to bring some more elderberry wine.. consume with caution, if there is such a thing..

Technology had to catch up with Babbage.. Now Ada Lovelace.. She died one of the worst deaths of the day..

We really need another wienie roast. No, we REALLY do.. Now, the one in Kentucky.. nobody got damaged, did they? I'll bring the gas fired expresso maker.. along with the Cabernet. I'll be an *innocent* bystander this time..

well.. there are "better" drugs. Just not entirely legal anymore.. I was at some kind of crisis in life.. and somebody suggested some kind of Buddhist meditation.. so I thought.. what the hay. Can't do a whole heck of a lot.. so I spend the few moments focusing on the energy coming out of an area a few inches or so above the belly button.. the results took about a week.. but it more than blew a couple of fuses.. then I was on a Quest. *what* happened to me.. heh. I asked everybody.. I didn't care what they thought about my current or lack of current mental state.. the nice lady with the finest education and degree said basically.. "dang happens" heh.. she had seen the same thing before. She ended up being more a guidance counsellor, than a therapist.. the lady who studied Kaballah said something like.. "we tell our people, don't look directly into the light, you'll get BURNED.." heh.. sowy. too late friend.. about 3/4 of a second was enough for me.. another fraction of a second, and I don't think I would have survived, in this current material form.. well.. they still let me roam the streets.. heh The really weird thing about all of this.. I am at peace. Anybody else who experienced anything like this.. I'd love to hear from you.. I hope I'm not the only one here..

how does one see it.. I don't know. I had something like that happen kinda by "accident".. but it really wasn't an accident. I was just ignorant enough to ask a question.. the only thing I can think or say.. *we* (or *I*) only give *them* (he, she, it.. whatever..) only at best the significance that I assign to *myself*.. I dunno.. does this make any sense, or do I need another glass of cabernet..

I thought of half a dozen sarcastic answers to this.. I'll spare you that.. what I think it comes down to.. one has to see something bigger than *them* or *him* or even oneself..

No kidding.. Interesting point about their possibilities of employment, after stffi.. preying on fear, what would the KIDS do.. where would they go.. "where else can you get these kind of RESOURCES.." You guys ARE parents, right? (not talking to you Pond :) ) I mean.. you have a bible or something, don't you? Concordance? You want your kids to believe that the dead aren't alive, or the Trinity.. or want them to know about the supposed "administrations".. etc. etc. etc.. I presume you have at least a bible and a brain.. why do you need a stinking corrupt organization to educate your kids??? "oh, they provide a backbone, an organized connection with da rest of the known world that believes like us.." You do have a phone, do you not? What about email? It just seems their rotten services are kinda overpriced.. ten percent or more of your income for what, to provide some kind of social structure?

um.. who is "we"? "we" use?

so.. besides all this minutiae.. what does the way, as an organization actually DO?

There were no special characters in the "original".. they were either cursive or manuscript. there was no difference between "God" or "god".. Somehow, I thought differentiation with capital letters were an invention of theology.. well, according to the class and all..

Which god? There's more than one ya know..

I'd still like to know. What is it exactly that the way, as an organization, DOES? Seems pretty simple and all.. "well.. we.. ahem. well.. we.. ahem. well...." I honestly think that is the best response I should expect..

EXACTLY what I thought.. they are doing NOTHING. Or worse.

I would suggest that you would not recognize one if you saw one..

Still didn't answer my question. What exactly are they DOING? Not talking, not "researching".. not imagining.. what are they DOING? You really don't know, do you..

soo.. did he actually DO it? Or did homosexuality remain in the inner sanctum of da way, where all he could do is cry and complain about it?

That's what I've wondered. For a while. What is it exactly that *they* are doing? *Doing* being the key phrase in the question. Have they *finally* (questionably) gotten up, and gotten their thumbs out of their.. asses? So what are they actually DOING?

Hope it was a day of gladness, good health.. hope you have many more..

I think they are.. they just don't know it, yet.. I'd substitute.. "these guys.. are OPPORTUNISTS.." intelligent, yes. I love human logic.. but it only goes so far, even for me..

If you love your kids.. that's just starters.. ripping the damn sticker off your car, that is.. and you'd BETTER sound damned convincing.. to the kids, that is.. I wouldn't be emotional about it.. I'd be very, very logical.. it might be too late for some.. but if you don't at least try.. well.. its your life.. no *big deal*, eh?

The "scariest" part of this, at least to me.. parents actually trust their own offspring with these jokers.. solely on the basis that they don't believe in a Trinity.. no kidding.. forget character, years of insane doctrine and behavior.. "well, they won't *contaminate* my kid with more than *one god*.." for lack of better words.. maybe the *objectors* of the phrase can give me a better description.. how much more "cult brained" can someone be..

That's about it.. It almost sounds like a disease, or a diseased mind.. what then might be the cure? I dunno.. maybe there is one place in the human psyche they either cannot, or are merely too terrified to look.. the prospect that they might actually be WRONG.

the board apparently documented his "behavior" in the way, and BEYOND.. but they aren't exactly publishing what happened in their little meeting. Yep.. now they hold the heartstrings of some, with regard to the CHILDREN. Where will they go.. what will they do.. reminds me of something.. the ironic part of this, they are actually paying to have the fella to play the flute, and call the kids off somewhere..
