I mean.. what's the deal here, fellas? Don't you see this not unlike the parent organizations little pat on the hand, and putting the loyster in charge of RESEARCH? What does that say about YOUR character? Either way, you've hung yourselves.. if j.l was so rotten all that time, you're complicit.. if he's innocent of your charges, you are despicable.. take your choice..

and.. if jl was so "rotten".. i.e. displayed DEEP character flaws.. and you've traced and documented all this back to the SEVENTIES.. and you were perfectly aware of all this "shocking" display of ungodliness.. why did you wait until as little as a YEAR ago to cut ties? Maybe as long as he could move a crowd and not appear too much as a buffoon.. he was "worth" something to you and the organization, in terms of dollars and cents?

It might be a *small* point, but you do realize he wasn't a "doctor" don't you? i.e. he never had a legitimate doctorate degree.. maybe he BELIEVED he did..

Sooo.. it's been what.. three days since the "meeting".. anything of more significance than finger pointing and extended blood-letting happen? been pretty quiet here.. maybe they swore the "participants" to secrecy or something..

maybe you need to go to a Greasespot weinie roast.. anything planned for the coming year, fellas?

That makes two now.. Not exactly sure of the timeline, but wasn't it m.g. and wife. Now j.l.. I think they are almost literally consuming each other..

I wonder who is next..

so it sounds like they shifted the focus to jl's odd, arrogant, obnoxious behavior. I wonder how much of their own was discussed.. these guys on the board and such are what.. in their late fifties, sixties? And they've been in the "business" since when? Yet people seem to hold out hope for some kind of change.. I really think they will exhibit the same nuttiness, as long as people are willing to pay them to do it..

I wonder how it went so far this morning.. Did they have a 6 a.m. flag raising ceremony, along with fervent prayers for the president, and those in authority in this country.. prayers for gawd's protection on the household of stffi.. a big banner behind the podium "da word speaks (but we's not wistening..)" Maybe what I'm asking is.. are they SERIOUSLY going over the real issues, or are they trying to perpetuate the same nonsense?

what I wonder.. was DWBH invited to this high, holy event..

*New Knoxville, 0. Greasespot Cafe, 1.*

*ham throws a rather over-ripe tomato in the general direction of New Knoxville at this time*

the sad thing.. they'll ring the Pavlovian "biblical" bell.. and most will emerge from that meeting, tears running down their face, sobbing about how the "presentation" was like it was, back in the good old days.. what I further wonder,will it end with some kind of guilt ridden appeal- "well, what are YOU doing to move da wordagawd? It's EASY to sit on the sidelines and criticize those in the "heat of the battle".. taking onslaughts from da debil spirit relm.." I can almost hear it.. tell me it isn't (or wasn't) so..

and why is it going to take TWO DAYS in MEETINGS to answer a few *simple* questions? they won't give answers.. they will give TEACHINGS. They've got a whole day and a half to wrap peoples brains around a dozen or so taken out of context, twisted interpretations of a half a dozen sections of scripture or something.. I wonder if they'll start the session with a "believer's meeting".. or something like that..

what kind of questions? http://www.greasespotcafe.com/main2/the-off-shoots/christian-educational-services/questions-for-the-board.html but I can see how it really will go.. "now, let me anticipate your questions.. why was our actions in regards to jl correct and biblically justified.." he'll probably launch into an hour "sharing" of scripture or something.. at the end, "now do you have any further questions?" the poor drooling on their bibles from acute boredom group.. "nawww..... that's about it....."

So how did you celebrate the "holiday"? well.. there is a black cat in the house. I can't say I "own" her.. she crossed my path a few times today. That's ok.. just "guiding" me to the morning feeding.. If I used salt on my food, I would have insisted on spilling some. No ladders towards any location, alas..

so is this the famed (infamous) *meeting* they've planned? sounds to me.. they've shifted the focus from legitimate questions to the for lack of better words, John Lynn Circus of events.. tell me it isn't so..

the thought of rosie.. being "frisky".. based on an over ten year old photograph.. it hurts for me even to think about it..

What makes me wonder.. when the *mighty* rozilla passes from this life.. what is to come after her..

hmmm. Seventy some years old.. isn't it at this point.. kinda beyond "pathetic"? just saying.. I mean.. what can one really do at seventy.. what's the deal here? maybe all that's left is a long forgotten sense of loyalty or something..

How many did you count? I count (a disturbing) three. but I guess it all depends on what you are counting..

I *almost* got to see them in Tampa a couple of months ago.. I dunno what happened. I'll modify what I was going to post.. my original thought had something to do with his age. That is all. I'll say no more..

before his "assumption" into his "exalted" position.. didn't he admit to whiteside something like "did you know three times attempts have been made on my life.." or something like that? yep.. the young "tender" years in the denomination.. probably some angry husband or something..

how do you know that? I'd cite the vicster on how *little* sins are as bad as *big* ones.. but maybe that would be fruitless.. he raised "those who would EXECUTE you" IF they lived in old testament times.. you know. The homosexuals.. then the "compromised"..then the "worthless".. then those who happened to be "inconvenient" ..

I had one really weird dream.. everything was in it. Yep.. everything.. my bike I had "chopped" in the sixties.. yeah, we did some silly stuff with bicycles.. and everything else.. all the old electronic junk I'd dragged home from various shops and dumpsters was there.. the two motorcycles I had owned in the past.. and everything else I had come across in this life.. the ex wife.. all the junk she hoarded.. weird, weird, dream.. but I guess it all was "me".. heh..
