Well.. thought somebody might enjoy it, for whatever. If you don't have one of the clips.. You could have a photograph place blow up the pic.. 1. Frame it (why?) 2. Throw darts at it.. hmmm. It's pretty bad, when you have a hard time just GIVING AWAY vey perephanalia..

I was digging through old files, I found a letter from 1983, celebrating 35 years of PFAL. Includes a piece of the film class, seven frames of the 8mm film to be precise. First come, first serve.. If you are internet paranoid.. no problem. Just give me an alias and the closest post office, and it's yours. Or even a post office box. I'll send it General Delivery.. Includes the letter from vic and schedule for the weeks events.. somebody may find better use for it than me. :)

I met one of the guys in the Grateful Dead, was here for a concert of sorts.. I said "you know, I feel like I was born too late in this life.." The guy says.. "we ALL were.." :)

I dunno.. if one of those funny looking day glo busses pulled up here on Main Street.. I'd get on.. I was probably six or seven years old when one theoretically could have shown up here.. Ma would have had me by the ear, "just where do you think YOU'RE going, young man.."

Groucho, some threads just BEG to be derailed..

"french wine" "wench finer"

No argument from me Roy.. What about faith, hope, love.. these seem to separate, yet joined in their true nature. There are lots more "threes" in the bible. the three responsibilities of fatherhood.. exhort, comfort, charge.. these seem to join in "one".

"cmon Buttercup.. we've gotta go bail Granny out again.."

Interesting though, how kids change all the "rules".. Even when they are grown and out.. "rrrring, rrring" "Hello?" "Ma? what are you saying? You want me to go give a bond agency a deposit? For what???" "When when I get you home, old lady, you're GROUNDED, for LIFE!!!"

Inquiring minds perhaps really DON'T want to know..

I used to read those comics.. I remember one where Freddy did Thanksgiving dinner for the three.. after dnner Frank compliments him on the stuffing in the turkey.. Freddie: "Stuffing? .. it wasn't empty"..

No, I let them out of the house once in a while.. socialize, join scouts..sports..

Raising kids.. if a person can't put off pursuit of pleasure for a few years, I think something is really wrong.. Personally, the satisfaction of raising kids at home (they are both out now), was more enjoyable than anything I did in the 1970's. I remember groups wanting to take them, activities.. etc.. and the big advertisement was "wouldn't you REALLY like to have a break, get away for a while, have FUN" nope. I told one person, "no, you can't have them.."

Sorry you had to go through that. I for one think if you mix children in the equation.. you'd BETTER get it right.. If you can't live for somebody else.. you better be able to live for your kids.. A lot of hash that came out of those countries was loaded with opium besides. And who knows what else.

I would agree that the concept was MAINLY isolated to people at the top of the organization.. like "they" say, the cops have the best dope in the world.. I dunno.. I think this kind of teaching.. the spirit is holy, the flesh is merely flesh.. kinda made people schizophrenic. Like you have two personalities, a good guy, a bad guy.. I remember merely asking a few questions of someone in the 1970's about having morals of a Guinea Pig.. not really being accusative.. the easy going party guy went away, and I was talking to the "spirit guy", "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY RIGHTEOUSNESS!!" I was waiting for his head to start spinning around.. I think it's like.. there's two of them in there, and they have come to some kind of agreement.. "you don't touch my women, beer or dope, and I'll be nice, and let you look important when you teach in fellowship.." Who knows.. maybe these people were screwed up to begin with..

You know your circumstances better than I do, but I wonder GENERALLY how much pot related that kind of experience is vs. character related.. I've seen people who for lack of better words, are not able to fully function in society. Pot was the least of their problems. More of a symptom of something bigger.. couldn't function very well without it.

Well, if you haven't, you don't know what you've missed.. I wondered about the ones around here.. the other day they were kinda "funny".. frantically digging in a flower pot in the back yard. I think they were trying to dig up somebody's stash..

Yep.. and some of us can't afford the possible consequences of loss of scholarships, financial aid, even student loans.. ham radio licenses, which ARE viewed as a government grant, and convictions are considered when one is applying or renewing. Too many consequences.. But I think the current "zero tolerance" policy against such a broad spectrum of substances, which range from basically harmless to deadly lethal, is not a policy in people's best interest. I kind of side with number 8..

One thing I can say.. if you REALLY "see the light".. you don't mind if your a** gets kicked in the process of at least attempting to do what's right.. :) I don't think there are any real shortcuts for some people in some situations..

pros: 1. It gets you high. cons: 1. It gets you high. That is the objection or agenda on both sides of the issue.. I think, live and let live. There are far worse substances that are REALLY worth addressing..

and not to mention, young, and NO HEALTH PROBLEMS. They have been known to turn out staffers that are advancing in years, and present a health "liability".

Actually, I expect nothing. At least I won't be disappointed. I personally don't think he has the needed character to really set anything right, any more than loy, or the other cronies.. won't happen. I think they honestly don't have the capacity to consider what they've done without destroying themselves.. That is a lot of baggage to carry into a new "ministry" or endeavor.. I wonder if he remembers screaming at people, practically pimping for vic, slandering somebody who thinks adultery is wrong, as he boldly proclaims "da word".. I really don't think so. I think it's like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.. he could be a nice guy, that some here have met, then turn around, drink some of vic's koolaide.. and turn into a beretta wielding thug.. so Dr. Jeckyl breaks off from der vey, starts a new practice somewhere.. he took so much baggage along with him.. I don't think he is doing anybody a real favor.

Larry, I saw that there was at least one post while I was posting. I just quickly edited it so that you knew it was for you. What he's currently doing is one thing.. what he did before is another. Only thing I'm suggesting is that there are a WHOLE HECK OF A LOT of people that he is not at peace with. I'm only one of them. He helped cover up corruption and abuse that if exposed, I would have left in a heartbeat. And that is precisely WHY the junk is and was covered up. He honestly must think that I am merchandise, secondary or tertiary to "da will of gawd". I am only slightly annoyed.. imagine those who had to put up with his wrath.. Based on his track record, nobody in their right mind would ordain him to even mow the lawn.. let alone teach the bible.. and he himself has let the record stand. So what to do? Hmmm. Get an honest job.. maybe even go back to school.. or.. ordain yourself. Just break off, start a new organization.. "water seeks it's own level" I dunno.. maybe it looks a little harsh, but I think politics beats religion here.. can you imagine the furor, if he were to attempt to run for public office?
