I dunno. The red eyes don't make them necessarily evil or anything.. maybe he's just trying to match the rest of the decor.. just remember to wear your garlic, and keep smiling..

I dunno.. what is most pathetic here, is that the people who run the thing likely don't know how to do anything else.. other than to drill recruits and bark orders, try to beat "discipline" into them.. followed by hours of mind-numbing replays of old stuff better off left buried.. in what.. about seven months or so, they will release their "clone army" on the world..

Electronics technician/ repair person. Yeah, people actually still do have tv's, computers, old radios.. and "antique" guitar amplfiers repaired. Some have pronounced the death of the repair business, but somehow it keeps on kicking..

I've seen them almost literally bleed people dry around here at times.. I think they live on negative energy. Not sadness, or even HONEST, appropriate anger, but on rage. Often they seem able to leave a stint or something behind to keep the teeth holes open.. and with one off-color seemingly innocent comment, they seem to be able to bring an otherwise seemingly peaceful individual to an explosive rage. so.. I toast to the herbs of nature, fellas.. Praise the Lord, and pass the Garlic..

The reason they bite is to drink blood ya know.. it might be emotional or "spiritual" blood, but it is blood nonetheless..

Wasn't the Van Wert church the one he referenced in der vey living in lust? His side of the story seemed to be that when after his *greatness* left the church, that *they* had a successful work plowed under inside of six months or something.. no mention of his actions or accepting any kind of personal accountability or anything. then we get what I believe to be another display of arrogance.. "looking back, I just know *I* shoulda taken the congregation with me.." Perhaps he was forced to make as a discrete exit as he could. I wonder how many of the old congregation are still alive.. have any of them documented what it was like?

too bad it doesn't ward off a few vampires at GS

I don't think it's really an issue with about being RIGHT, more than an issue of losing an argument..

I'll say this.. I don't have the heart to give om the beating he's getting over in another thread here. It's futile. There will be no change, even with both tits over half-way up a wringer. The exchange is typical. I hear cries of "fowl" and "unfair" and "geeze, this really HURTS.." and he doesn't have a clue why. It's all just another GAME.. why feed it? It's the same old thing.. some of us just LOVED debate in our twi days.. some of us never grew up I guess. some people would sacrifice their own grandmother to get back the good old feelings of twi of yesteryear..

Happy Birthday friend..

I think that's the whole point. It seems to me, that those in charge would appear a lot more innocent of wrong doing if they dealt with these monsters APPROPRIATELY before it is "found out". The laws of probability suggest that it WILL be found out. Sometimes a lot sooner than one would anticipate. loy should have been sent packing.. the FIRST TIME they knew about his predatory nature, abusing his position in the organization That would have been what.. about 1981 or 1982 or therabouts? Maybe even before. They have to put a lot more spin to it after the fact, once it gets out. "Dear beloved in the Lord, it is with much regret we must announce the canning of the loyster. We have irrefutable evidence of his sexual escapades, and to protect the people in this organization, we have removed him from all postions of authority and sent him packing.." or even vic.. the then "trustees" could have voted him off, could they not? the first time he or howie laid a greasy hand on a sister in the organization, they lost it all, to begin with.. the organization is really bankrupt..

never mind.. I found it. :)

I have an older computer at home with win2000 on it. has about 90 meg of memory, so it "thrashes" about quite a bit. What I'd like to do.. put one of my unused cheap 2 gig flash drives on it if I could figure out where the virtual memory settings are, and designate space on the flash drive instead of the hard drive.. I suppose the thrashing would occur so fast I wouldn't even notice it anymore.. and it wouldn't sound so annoying. I understand that the flash drive has at least the reliability of a hard drive, as far as number of read and/or write cycles.

Just bringing this to the top. Really, it's almost painless, as easy as voting..

I sincerely believe those who covered it all up have as much as or even more blood on their hands than the perpetrators.

I remember at a "weekend in der verd".. maybe it was a trick with the lights, but on stage, the vicster looked like he literallly glowed.. is it possible, he could wear a figurative, or even literal suit of "light" when it was convenient? Makes me wonder what kind of entity we really were following..

it was one of the "manifestation" moves. kinda funny looking, kneel down close to sitting position, quiver and shake.. I'd better not speak any more graphically than that. Don't want the moderators to get me in the back room and work me over here..

Maybe I'm just evil today.. I thought you were referring to the little s.i.t. "move".. kinda looked like he was stuck on something..

Oh, you mean the atheletes of da spirit "s.i.t." move? Asherah pole, about four feet tall? :biglaugh: hahhahahahahhaha... *cough, wheeze...*

I think when it goes beyond able to agree to disagree.. especially after years.. something has to give. Some people post things just to get a reaction.. have about as much tact as stopping a funeral procession to argue with the survivors about the cause of death.. it's not meaningful dialogue to begin with. Have to cut your losses somewhere..

Some personality types demand confrontation on one level or another.. why feed it? It was like back in old way days.. we were told the debil would try to thwart our efforts, try to drill holes in our brains with the wrong kind of doctrine and the like. How many here, other than myself thrived on confrontation? I think for some it's not a learned behavior, more like it's wired in.. just a thought.

"How TWIish of you" I don't think so. If somebody came to my door selling what I deemed (in my opinon of course) a toxic brew of leftovers from twi days past.. I'd politely say "go try to sell crazy someplace else".. if they persisted.. I'd shut and lock the door.. same for me I suppose. If I'm driving you nuts.. turn me off. Won't hurt my feelings or anything..

It just seems.. if one views another's opinion as toxic and despicable, and conditions reach an impasse with no hope of any kind of reasonable reconciliation, what other option is there?

I dunno. There's always a solution.. maybe a massive group "ignore" would work..

Bride, now that's just what I needed.. *ah, ooh, a little lower.. no, up a half an inch.. ahhhhhh.."
