if someone would post a bona fide birth certificate here, it would remove all doubt..

I'm sorry.. but I'm not.. what really is the difference between a "positive" cult.. and a negative, languishing one.. only one answer comes to my feeble mind.. a *Charismatic* "leader(?)".. if *she* chooses to post here, and address the *issues*.. I will be kind.. what *she* does not yet understand.. we OWN *her*.. at least until *she* steps down, and returns all special favors to the *household* from which they came.. at least in my observation..

just wonder.. what in God's name has *she* (well.. if she really is a she..) done to address the *issues* of those her predecessor psychologically damaged, and cast out as "compromised" "possessed" or "worthless"? if she (if that is the case) is really *all that*.. I just don't see where she(?) is living up to the challenge, so to speak.. Maybe she(?) needs to post a newer picture on Greasespot. The old pictures don't exactly "do her(?) good".. I hope somebody understands this rambling..

well, its one way to learn, I guess.. but this character is all over the place.. a little bit on set theory, a tiny bit on lebesque measure, back in sigma algebras.. I'm getting it and all.. I just don't think that is happening fast enough.. I'm glad HE knows real analysis like the back of his hand and all.. at this point.. I will hang in there until either I pass, or they ask me to leave.. there's quite a few others I know who feel the same..

hmm. Then some of them stayed stoned out of their gourd, and still made something of their lives.. then there were those who just stayed stoned out of their gourd.. kinda like lifers in da way in leadership or something.. no skills.. no real self-improvement or anything.. same kind of character, just a different drug of sorts..

Hmm. A great trip, for whom? it was a great trip if you happened to be mog.. money for nuttin.. chicks for free.. Now a great trip.. would have been a trip across the country with Kesey. I was only thirteen at the time.. but if the bus rolled up, ma would have had me by the ear.. "where do you think YOU are going, young man?" From what I read, it wasn't too bad a trip. People generally eventually sobered up after a while, and made something of their lives..

not really. At this point.. considering the "effectiveness" of twi doctrine, I kinda hold these "truths" to be rather trivial.. providing they are indeed "true"..

I think twenty minutes or so, before showing up on main stage, he for the most part convinced himself that he was god and all.. a half hour after the service was over, I think it was business as usual

But ya know.. Brennan had more to offer to American culture than the vicster even dreamed of.. funny Waysider.. I kind of liked that song.. just can't see it coming out of the vicster's mouth on his death bed or anything..

Did you read one of the reviews on that clip? "howlingly bad".. I can't find the words.. where do you dig up this stuff from, friend..

excuse me while I go to choke myself.. words fail me here..

Teaching? No problemo.. now Real Analysis? I'm about ready to strangle somebody..

I remember that as well.. "he turned to the wall and gave up the spirit" or something of the sort.. p65 of Light through an Eastern Window.. "It seems to me that Hindus know how to die more gracefully than some Christians.... A Hindu seems to have a premonition as to when he is going to die, so he puts on his good clothes, lies down on the bead and calls the family to the bedside to give them a final blessing. The Holy Book is brought and a suitable passage is read. Then he raises his hand in blessing and expires." Then the vicster made some mention about how Pillai just believed to die.. turned to the wall, closed his eyes.. and just quietly expired.. I think this is where this came from.. One thing one could say.. herr vicster did not die exactly in a "graceful" manner.. whined and complained and hissy fitted to the end.. ran to geero for sympathy.. "boo hoo, they've all abandoned me in da usa.."

Doesn't seem it would take too much "discerning of spirits" to detect a fella, with a striking resemblance to Brad Pitt in a black suit, just sauntering onto the back of the trailer..

some sycophants have thought up a simpler solution. Just hold some kind of "wild card" that is one doesn't relish the treatment "ahem* training, off they go..don't have to relocate priests, mogs, or whatever.. just make it the victim *ahem* trainees fault.. any system which holds this kind of wild card over Any Body's life, I hold in high suspicion.. whether they are only some kind of innocent bible thumping only beating the snot out of followers or not.. Yeah.. we don't *abuse* them, we just beat the snot out of them with the old vicster's teachings.." ha. why does one seek that kind of power, without having intent of USING it? I haven't met an exception, yet..

The answer may be simple. Why? Maybe they just want to do an interview or something when *he* shows up..

No, I don't believe this any more.. I'd say more, but in a "biblical" sense, it would sound "nuts"..

and it is VERY difficult to prove anything in an environment where *they* can skip the packing up step and ship one off in the middle of the night..

Maybe the question is (or should be) what are YOU doing here? seems most other people have half a clue why they are here.. just a thought..

I dunno.. you really need to go to a GS wienie roast.. :) are there any planned? I would propose one (at my individual convenience..) sometime in late December..between the fall and spring semesters.. only time I've got. I've been to one on *your* terms.. I just got finished canning up about 9 gallons of tomatoes. just one gallon in December would make the most awesome GS chili you have ever had.. :) Anybody want to come? small gathering, or large? there are a few here, who I've never met.. that I'd love to meet..

was that really the last "demon"? what if you found out EVERYTHING you believed was for lack of better words, "wrong".. I had something like that happen.. in a fraction of a second.. :) and it didn't really hurt or anything.. maybe it was beyond that.. well, I wanted a few answers. I asked for it..

and remember.. you have an uncle in the furniture business. (from http://www.dbusiness.com/DBusiness/September-October-2009/Old-Line-Retailers/ ) maybe its just a coincidence.. uncle.. harry.. used furniture.. then harry didn't end up dead in the trunk of his car.. I suppose coincidences only go so far..

Have you developed a few *new* skills from the last time you've been here? we come back to the same *problems*, with a new set of skills.. and the experience looks entirely different than it did, ten, fifteen, twenty.. forty years ago.. maybe you never "grew up"..

Hmm.. maybe I know them.. maybe not.. are they hiding out in otherwise legitimate businesses and or professions?

Maybe its just an ageing organization, which wants to "retire" in a rural setting.. smaller, less people.. less "witnessing"..
