Even if you thought it was a little slice of heaven, you can vote anonymously and not get lambasted or anything..

Interesting numbers so far. I personally gave it a "4" for perceived value. With the stated goals and promised results, it looked good.. I'd attribute it to the advertising. what's more interesting is the realized value. It would suggest to me that the product either wasn't exactly what it was advertised to be, or it simply did not live up to it's promised expectations.. I'd like to see a couple of hundred votes.. somebody needs to go campaign on that "other" site and tell them some deadbeat Squirrel needs help..

Hey.. that's me. I'm only a LITTLE manic today..

pretty big assumption, on all counts, at least in my opinion.. some people might just think they hear the screams of gramps as debils work him over.. "Noooooo.. don't do it boy..... NOOOOOOO.." But then again, that just might be some people's opinion too..

The whole key in this, in my opinion, George, is not to hang on very tightly. Usually something better comes along..

Hmmm.. how about.. go a whole YEAR without speaking in tongues. Don't do it for ANY reason.. intercession, prayer.. etc.. and see if you are any less "spiritual" (or perhaps more) at the end of the year than you were before.. just a thought. :) Perhaps there is a legitimate "biblical" usage for it.. but I think the way we used it, it just got in God's way..

If someone goes to the "ex-way, ex-corps" site, please direct them to this little poll. I'd like some kind of "legitimacy" in the survey. Thanks. :)

This is for a "friend".

I imagine it would. I got about half of my credits from a junior college here, at 1/4 the price. I also inquired if the credits would transfer. They documented that they had an equivalency agreement with almost every other accredited college in Michigan. When I hit the level of credits that no more would transfer, I transferred to the larger four year university.I could have put in about 15 more hours and gotten an associates, but would have lost them. Suppose it depends what it is one wants to do. I would really really like to teach on say, a junior college level someday, at least to start. A degree from pikes peak arithmetic and divinity school would hardly open the door.

Plus, by coming here, you can pretty much gague the satisfaction level of customers who bought another product that remarkably resembles your own. I think the product needs a *little* tweaking..

I'd only add.. here is about the only place you'd get an honest critique of the "product". It's kinda outside of the loop of the self admiration society that many seem to rely on for encouragement and sustenance. Those in some splinter groups might think it, but they won't say it.. it's really impolite. If my internet site looked like I was dredging for volunteers to split and stack my firewood, haul off the old cars, herd my animals for me, and toss them to the curb when I was tired of them, or the farm was finally done, I just might really NEED somebody to tell me.. it's kinda like body odor. The polite thing to do is to discretely say something like "hey, ya know, soap and water has been in fashion for a couple of years. You might want to try some on.."

damn.. one lifetime after another I've chosen a losing cause.. maybe we all have..

Friend.. we were scattered to the four winds.. and's that's part of the initial agreement with this new little slice of "heaven"..

what happened to OUR "community"..?

The call to the "ministry".. "Here am I, chop my wood.." There's an Amish community about forty miles north here.. I'm sure they live life "on the edge".. at least physically speaking.. I dunno.. once these people chop the wood.. build the farm.. what's REALLY in it for them.. the Amish.. at least you have some kind of community..

My first reaction to the link you provided. when's they guy gonna jump out from behind the bushes.. "boo.. April Fool! Nyuk nyuk, I'm not REALLY trying to perpeptuate a blood and life sucking cult.." Then I looked at the calender.. heck, it's not even February yet.. there is NOTHING on that site to indicate anything different from what I initially thought..

Tick made more sense than his master though. He "fleed" fornication, didn't he?

$%*@#.. why do I have to go hunt people down to find out their friggin motive.. &*($^&*.. I've been saying this most of today.. I've really got better things to do.. but maybe not.. I hope it doesn't end up as a real war with people.. but sheesh.. they have no idea who they're up against.. and no, it's not the devil.. maybe it's a close second..

well, all one has to do is ask, mustn't one? :) The only thing I'll say.. it is TOO DAMED BAD that "some of us" leave that unexplained. The motive, that is. All I have is my friggin knee jerk reaction to this kind of thing.. and a real bitter feeling in the pit of my stomach.. see.. it's not up to me to explain why I feel this way. It's just not an "unrenewed mind" or anything. I'd go to the source. "Why do I feel this way about your little endeavor.." It better not be an answer like.. "well, you're justa thinkin evil or somethin". Now lynn and crowd.. they've already ruined themselves to the place I wouldn't even BOTHER going to them for an explanation..

I dunno. As "lame" as it sounds... one has to find "their own" truth.. I prefer to think of.. what once WAS God.. is now US.. String theory and Jewish mysticism at least partly might agree with me.. :) I've asked him a couple of times.. how could you be so bored as to pull the plug on a bunch of dimensions.. what a mess..

Thanks Dooj.. of course you notice who was in charge there.. doing all of the song leading and stuff..

I wonder if they got the idea from my little write up.. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.ph...+good+men+women

guess one can't be perfect on all points..

umm.. I think "some of us" have.. I almost feel like it's April the first..

no "biggie" for me.. just.. that's three or four benefits of the doubt I handed to a half a dozen or more "well meaning" clowns before.. The page you linked to.. honestly, it looked not like a scam, but more like a joke. The "residents" of the farm: a beat up truck, a couple of farm animals.. the subject line of my email "is this for real?" If it indeed is the young character you refer to, the last I remember, he was heavily involved in an offshoot. What's he doing there? Starting another splinter of a splinter of a splinter? Just another little thing that at least suggests to me.. if it ISN'T a joke, it SHOULD be..
