and as he walked up to the lecturn, he was probably singing to himself.. *Happinesssss, is a warm gun (bang bang shoot shoot)* *hapinesssss, is a warm gun mama..* *when I hold you.. in my arms..* vic groomed these guys.. taught them how to wear matching socks, color coordinated clothes.. how to make a suit look good.. and who was it that did the hair.. I forget the name of the department. Makeup.. how to get and hold a crowd's attention.. how to put on a talk.. but that's all "window dressing" as they say.. think what you want, but I think these are frivolous "virtues".. at least concerning an alleged "holy life".. I think the model that fits these guys was outlined by Erskine Caldwell.. Semon Dye- the blood-eyed, whiskey swigging, gun-toting, womanizing, thieving half excuse of a human being.. but he could make a suit look good at revival.. they are a dime a dozen.

"Packing heat" to a CHURCH SERVICE, of which one is the "featured speaker", just in case things "get out of hand".. doesn't that strike you as at the best, troubling, bizarre, sinister behavior? Just a thought.

Pretty big "snip".. aren't you just being a TAD too generous? he was a gun-toting PIMP for da mog, and WORSE, for crying out loud.. other than that, I'm sure he could be a charming, polite, quasi-intellectiual individual- if circumstances warranted it.. :)

He probably CAN'T retire.. that is, unless he's gotten special treatment or something.. and I'd think he couldn't get a job if or when they put him out to pasture.. what a waste of life.

I dunno.. it's a hobby.. maybe it has carnival kind of attraction.. gruesome, yet one can't look away.. compare the image to this: It's almost like somebody sprinkled some pixie dust.. maybe it's just advertising. "we can work with practically ANYTHING.."

Looks too good for rosie.. If it is, I'd bet on tons of digital enhancements to the image..

yeah.. maybe it's an illusion.. that those who think they are "not of us" would actually wake up.. I dunno.. I'm a dreamer.. maybe the dream will live in another day.. sooo.. we wait quietly for the next "incarnation".. have we really learned anything.. I hope..

so.. why did he abandon any kind of *legitimate* work for his *doctorate* now.. I'm out of breath.. on my way to a bachellor's in math.. a minor in chemistry.. I really appreciate the kind of work required for any kind of degree to begin with.. and even if hell freezes over, they are not going to simply give it to me.. sooo.. the *mogster* already has an actual legitimate master's degree.. what's gives here..? He goes from the potential of actually *being* what he claimed.. to what only he could repudiate he claimed.. I dunno.. it's sometimes hard to try to put one's self in another's shoes.. can't say I haven't tried..

I wish he could BE well. Unfortunately, there's not a lot I can do about that.. I don't know if there is even anything he himself can do.. and it seems the world is filled with these angry young men.. look at the "sewers" *phenomena*.. he's ANGRY.. how the *ministry* treated one of the heirs apparent.. I bet every single day rosie's lard rear occupies the seat in the cornfield is a spur digging in.. it's arrogance against arrogance.. I prefer to think it's his one last chance, and a life jacket held out in the highly improbable chance he'd really take it.. instead, he's probably gonna have the same karma follow him into the next life.. and wonder why the hell people hate him.. but *we* don't believe in reincarnation, do *we*.. :)

I think the "sewers" kid and paps are pretty much the same. Poke the skin a little, and arrogance just runs live a river.. "how dares ya question *my* motves and *the* doctrine.." and it probably really hurts.. other than that, I imagine they can be really nice people, pleasant, charming..

One thing a person could say for crowley.. he probably didn't have some kind of multi-personality disorder. Claimed to be evil, wicked.. and he lived it. The interesting thing is he STILL managed to have a few friends.. without covering up all of his blackness. I think he was more "well adjusted" than vic, or even loy.. other than a little bit of sensationalism, I don't think crowley left very many curtains to be pulled back in his life.. he just appealed to a different kind of audience. Some of the "religious" types I've confronted.. give the sheep's clothing a little poke.. they've growled and hissed..one of them, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY RIGHTEOUSNESS... growwwl, hisssss.. grrrrrrr.." it's one of those distant memories, burned in my consciousness forever..

I think it's debatable whether he even CAN live in "the real world".. put his name and address in a phone book.. I don't think so. Of course, that might be more along the lines of survival instincts.. hold a job that can't tolerate more than the average arrogance.. or muster up enough stomach to walk in a holocaust museum.. or offer a genuine, sincere apology, to everyone he's ever abused.. but then again, I hear sometimes pigs can fly..

I dunno.. if it looks like twi, quacks like twi.. to me it's pretty obvious.. if it has a system of "overseers" who function with no observable accountability.. if the group exists, mainly to serve it's own little self..

Yah.. simply because one believed.. should I say it? A lie, a falsehood.. despite my or anyone elses better judgement.. Maybe some can't look at that kind of darkness..

Well, I can't argue with that. *They* have always said I'm "special"..

Sorry.. too many arcane references.. if anyone REALLY wants them, I'll supply them..

Don't knock it. "Bear" had a "trip" like this once.. it isn't all as bad as it looks.. Mike.. come back..

Ya know.. hey, I really do pay attention in class.. I've read a little bit.. In quantum mechanics.. if you want to be *really* "right" .. you've gotta be hydrogen.. pretty lonely little world there.. :) for all of the other "citizens" in da world.. they are doing a desperate amount of spin why it isn't all so simple..

and as far as "absolute truth" is concerned.. it's the same as being able of holding "absolute wealth".. if one could, it would break the "game". If you've won EVERYTHING.. you've just inherited a heck of a lot of nothing.. I'll say this in the least offensive manner, and the least threatening mode that I can.. Bub, you can have it.. :)

Soooo. *we* have broken off (or were booted out of) twi.. so the big question (I'm asking it for offshoots.. I've heard at least one actually ask it) "WHADA WE DO NOW".. so along comes this wonderful, professional character.. gives a few GENTLE words.. that if they'd do at least a few, he'd actually lay some honest RESPECT on them.. isn't it like.. God's SCREAMING at them? and why here? Pretty simple.. this is about the only place they will receive an honest critique of sorts..

Oh no. We just know how possessed liberals are..

don't even ask where I got the skin.. you just have to be vewy vewy quiet..

Yeah. I was a masquerading as a liberal wearing a conservative's skin. really.. it was so surreal.. it's like, the allegations this person was making was so far "out there".. I really wasn't prepared to argue with that level of "nuttiness".. no less with a room full of .. well, I won't use that word.. who were sitting there in agreement.. Groucho, they probably think he was a closet liberal..

sowie.. wrong thread.. brb.
