Perhaps. I think he is a victim of this carefully designed disgrace.. *they* gave him the *name*, probably stroked his ego with "prophecies" of moghood since he was in the crib.. painted a rosie picture of da way, it was.. I don't think he had a choice in the matter. They made him.. though still a NOVICE.. unmarried, unexperienced, knows little more theology than gramps "heritage"..yet somehow his position is supported by gawd almighty.. The majority of the flack goes to "uncle" mac, pops, and whoever else stroked his fragile ego.. He really thinks gramps is some kind of super-hero. Thinks da way was a mystical, mythical place of goodness before the "bad people" undermined gramps work.. yeah, they made him. I wonder what his ma thinks..

ah yes. Kind of like going to school in the old days..

I know friend.. heh.. but it did get me to think.. what kind of answers we might be soliciting in some of these problems.. this one is everywhere:

Its awful hard to produce a non offensive, politically correct math problem these days.. One of the newest.. no kidding.. I saw this one assigned to my students.. two planes 1200 miles apart (or something like that). One is travelling east at 492 mph.. the other, travelling west at 500 mph.. when do they meet each other? that was the question. I was thinking.. asking the students.. "what do we know about this problem.. etc.." nooooooo. Not me.. I would be among the first to say, "what do I KNOW? I wouldn't want to be a passenger on either of these planes.." no kidding..

hmm.. well, for this particular math problem, let's just let him run out of gas.. at 192 mph that can't be boo long..

Leave it to Google ads to come up with the *best* solution.. every offshoot needs a few of these.. http://www.jenesco.com/mold-and-mildew.html?gclid=CJmw4-P_05wCFQ8MDQodw0wUIg

simple. They spike the tires.. now at 192 mph, I'm not exactly sure how a flat tire plays out.. maybe he went to the hospital..

One of my childhood memories.. neighbor had coats and clothing that were in a damp place.. he hauled them out and put them on the clothes line (they used to have them).. me being a snot nosed young wascal "WHATCHA DOOOOIN, neighbor?" putting this moldy crap out so the sunlight can kill the mold.. "OOOOOOO, O, K...." what a lot of these offshoot "morons" (excuse me, no better description I can come up with) can't figure out is, light really doesn't kill truth. I suppose if one just happens to BE the mold, they might have a few objections..

the general "principle" of any offshoots seems to be.. at least in my personal observation.. "we don't air our dirty laundry". why not? "it'd give da product, ahem, da *word* a bad reputation". God forbid that we would want the "world" to think we were ahem, "wrong".. just seems to me.. if the "product" is so stinky, mouldy and mildewed that a little exposure of light of day can't "fix".. isn't it time to find a new product?

in my brief "stint" in even a relatively BENIGN offshoot.. I've seen what happens when a "follower" applies the "law of believing" in "reverse". That it, "where was so and so's (one of the big leaders of said offshoot) "believing" when they died, or succumbed to a terrible disease.. or.." experienced some other such "negative" in the world.. it does not go well. For the "follower" that is. One might never see or hear from them, again.

I dunno. If someone has a burning itch to contribute.. why not Greasespot Cafe? There IS a little "donate" tab on the main page. We could even invent a little slogan: "Don't be a greasespot, donate to Greasespot.." or something like that..

Charleton Heston said something like that..

If I knew his parents, I'd ask them if he's ok or something..

umm.. your pontiac bonneville didn't quite show up.. :) while you are tooling about in the Bonneville for secret rendevous in New Breman and St. Mary's, you need a few of these to chug down..

it might be bizarre, but some are still stuck in that kind of mentality.. some old deposed leadership saved up tithes from meagre wages from working at places like mcdonalds or taco bell.. waiting for a "god approved" place to deposit it.. I am thinking specifically of one individual.. naw, he'll never post here..

or more about making one. Or maintaining power over people, when one's past highly disqualifies them..

heh. Only when it suits them. Other than that, its legalism..

what I find interesting.. many of us who "watched" this nonsense for so long are now comparing notes.. not that I'm trying to scare the hell out of you or anything.. but if I were you fella, I'd want to know why..

You WILL be answering that question to Someone, someday.. for your sake, I hope the genuine answer is "no"..

ah yes.. hmm. "and don't bring her back empty boy.." good grief.. especially when you have free gas..

I guess he said Tiger Woods would never amount to anything,either.. gawd, what kind of morons were we following.. the popes big visit didn't seem to get woods off his game..

something like that. I think he bought a slightly used one, that the navy only drove to church on Sundays with.

Are they adding? Probably not. What they mostly might be doing, is building up a small stockpile from ex-wayfers who can't find any other meaningful (?) place to tithe and "abundantly share". *We* all know that we *owe* provision of physical comforts and such to *those who labor(?) in the word and doctrine, do we not? Now the kids involved.. they will be left with 501c organizations which they can only leach out a little sustenance at a time.. the smart ones (hopefully) got an education, a profession, a life..

They are so cute.. but think about it.. that's 120 cans of cat food a day, 3600 a month.. even at 10 cents a can, that's what.. $360.00 a month. 4,800 pounds of clumping kitty litter a month.. unless he trained them to go potty outside in the neighbor's garden.. and fleas.. treatment for fleas once a month perhaps. And one would want to treat them all the same week. Plus are they all neutered? If not, the cat population would be astronomical in a few short months.. You'd need to run spreadsheet to keep track of them all.. One of the resident cats here eats a minimum of a can a day, and all the dry food she wants.. with a 120 of them, I can't even imagine the cost. I'd HAVE to put them to work.. oh yes, plus two eggs. at two eggs a day.. that would be something like 7200 eggs a month for 120 cats.. that's just a mere 600 dozen.. he could save money and only neuter half of them. Typically males cost a third for the procedure. Of course, accidently miss one, and with one intact male.. sixty females.. yeah, the population would still be astronomical in a few short months.. the sole intact male would probably have a heart attack..

heh.. tell *them* that.. I was with one with a foreign accent once for some time trying to get it to work.. forget it. I'll take the internet access, use the yahoo or hotmail account.. in short, I've given up..
