Yep. "We have something we REALLY need to talk about..." To me, that kind of prelude said "brace yourself for a big one..." Doesn't do much good, at least for me. Already have my undivided attention with the first word out of the mouth. Too much fanfare- just TALKING about it seems more effective.. just get to the point! "Honey, I would feel a heck of a lot better if you put the toilet seat down.." "No problem, glad you told me about it". Usually it could be that simple. I think a lot of times the women think they have to use extraordinary methods to get the man's attention. 99 times out of a hundred, they already have it.

I have had my share of nosy, nasty, controlling, hitler-types, and they were the majority. But I can't say they were all bad. My cousin and her husband went through it, and turned out to be a couple of terrific folks, who love God and God's people to this day.

I'd like to see a REAL scholar get a hold of this thing..

Well, one thing.. in all this, Der Vey has affirmed their rights to run- a cemetary.

One more thing.. I think this assumes far too much, he does not speak for me. What I observed was men to turn from callings and gifts to fear and manipulation. They still think they know how to sell the product. They just don't have the product anymore. Even preaching from the same bible.

I partly agree, but I don't think he inspires them in a godly manner. I have heard some "sermons" that should have shaken the world to its foundations, at least for me. But I found myself sitting back wondering how somewhere I was "missing it". Perhaps that is why loy and crowd had to scream at the top of their lungs. What they said no longer had any valid effect. Maybe the "gift" was still there, but no power, no love. No "sound mind" either.

Case in point. MAYBE he had a ministry, MAYBE he did some good for some at one time, BUT- Where were the miracles validating VP's "ministry"? And yes, he claimed to have a healing ministry, or "gift" if you will. But I NEVER saw one. Not once. I heard a lot of claims though. And this self-appointed spokesman for the lord claimed he had knowledge like it had not been known since the first century. Ptooie. Just another scam, at least at one point. Behavior seems to validate or invalidate any calling.

I wonder if God feels like "tossing His cookies" when He hears people like that speaking his word.. it does that to me. Seems more often than not, people in that category are operating a scam, not a "gift". May look religious, bring tears to some folks eyes, but so can cutting an onion.

Well, perfect solution it may be.. but still not "qualified" in my opinion. Mr. low forehead would require constant supervision. "Now Loy, it is time to use the funny looking little brush.."

Unbelievable. One hundred and fifteen pages. Like to see them do one like that on adultery..

Happy Birthday!

But as to the question why they keep her there- Is she really THAT good at housekeeping? The idea that they don't have anybody better qualified for the job is kind of scary. Kind of like putting a janitor in charge as CEO or something.. must make sense to somebody. OH, I forgot. In Vey World nothing has to make sense.

I don't think so.. I think she smells just like what she fell in. But for the followers, I can just imagine.. "Hey, doesn't that smell like ****??" "No, it smells like a floral shop. Any other questions?"

Does it disqualify Donna from a leadership position? I think so. Ignoring all of the destruction unleashed by her unbridled tongue, covering for her (EX?) husband's activities, and open ALLEGED relationship with the current pres., yes, even this "minor" point would be enough. People were summarily dismissed for at least half of the above infractions, including divorce or separation. I don't think ICor 7 will justify it either. They have been apart for much longer than a "time". The suggestion that they are apart for "fasting and prayer" is ludicrous. And they have not come back together. Divorced or not, I would say either way, neither of them are qualified to wash toilets at the place..

Yep. And its unbelievable.. The defendant's lawyer was standing there, saying how poor his defendant was, pleading for the jury to go easy on them.. his reason- he claims that the unanimous verdict was sufficient to "send them a message that they would hear" ptooie. Only took six years.

Congratulations Raf. Its nice to see good things happen for good people at times.

He did look like he was, the last time I saw him on stage..

Heh heh heh heh heh..

Well, I can't see how loy would know if he is divorced or not. He probably has a hard time figuring out whether he is or is not pregnant.

Marvin is welcome to come visit me in Michigan. I will have to think of a couple of things to keep a super-genius from getting bored.

I'm back! Well, kind of. I'd rather stay there.. Only hint I would offer: begins with a "J", but I could be wrong. Linda, it is in Upshur county, somewhere close to Buckhannon.

Song, I feel the same way sometimes- I'm a strange rascal in a strange land..

From what I have heard, any RAPID weight loss is not a good thing. If you lose ten pounds in ten days, its very likely that most of the loss is water. Not good. Proper food and exercise is the best way to go. Even with that, you're safer if you talk to a doc..

Last year, one of the dogs there ate my tent- literally. But that's OK, the stay was worth a hundred tents.

My cousin may be one of the mysterious posters here- if my suspicions are correct. If so, I offer a hearty "see ya there" if you are coming.
