Thanks Belle.. I'm going to northern West Virginia. And the people are at as wonderful as you can get.

A heck of a lot trickier, to say the least.

"have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?"

Happy Birthday! Hope you have lots more of prosperous, healthy ones too.

Yep. Well, life may not be all about me, but there is a little bit of me in life anyway. Gotta love yourself. Before, I would have taken it for the greater good or something.

Yep, going on vacation, to probably the most beautiful place in all God's creation- at least my opinion. There may be no computer in sight for a week. But my radios are coming. Can't camp without some fun! Unlike certain staffers, I can enjoy my education without massaging ole rosies back, ewww.

Well, it would be like putting finger in a, well, forget that idea..

Yep. It is like death of sorts.. and I think you have to experience it to understand it. Before this, I had no idea what people were going through.

I'm honored :o--> heh heh.

Yep. Well, another day has passed, and who knows how many bricks and how much medicine or whatever PFAL has purchased for someone who needs it.. I can almost see poor old rosie now.. "Grrrrrrr, kids were made to be EATEN..." "Donna, Donna! Where did you put the cauldron???"

I think you may have hit the point Belle, it was without HIM.

Yep. "but... but.. they are our SLAVES, we have a RIGHT to go through their mail.."

If true, his teaching turns an ear doctor into a gynecologist..

Sounds very logical to me. Apparently murder was "no biggie" either. We know that there were "those among us who would gladly execute you" if they could get away with it. But its a good point. He did teach that sex was not really sex, just a bodily function or something, then turn on a dime, and say that sex was an abomination against God and nature.. The bastard was really warped.

Looked like an inquisition to me. "Are you now, or were you ever, a member of the communist party.." Gave me a picture of ole Joe McCarthy working over some poor slob.. I look at offshoots with a wary eye too, but I thought the "interrogation" was going a little too far. But who knows, maybe he had a good reason for asking.. just not obvious to me.

Well, could be something different. Maybe the poor folks there found out how much similarity in name they had to a *** ****** cult, and pulled the plug. I sure would. Can you imagine putting your name in a search engine and finding the scum of TWI attached? I'd get real sick.

Yep. And what they do have left is not exactly marketable, it still has ole loys autograph on it, for crying out loud.. you'd think they could learn something by now. But think of it.. these people at least are doing something good with it. Building and maintaining a school, looks like they are helping with health issues there.. Must chafe the crap out of TWI. Something they wouldn't do, not in a million years. "Duuuuh, we're just supposed to give them DA VERD, and nothing but Da VERD"..

The interesting thing, I saw it coming, a long way off. Seen it too many times before. I told the person that they were not even supposed to treat a DOG like that. No less a human being. That was the nicest thing I had to say. The other thing- I could care less if the person chooses to sever friendship. Honestly don't give a damn. Its their choice, not mine. But I didn't release pent up hostility or anything, just drew a line in the sand. Well, we'll see what happens I guess..

In some ways I know. I had an interesting "encounter" with a person a couple of days back. I've been trying to be nice and help the person out, be a friend.. But when I "screwed up" on some arcane protocol, the person tried to "ream me a new one". Not this time, not again. Not ever, not for ANYONE. Not even if my life depended on it. It was ridiculous, and it was from a VERY religious person. I almost thought of asking if they ever heard of Da Vey. My replies put the person almost in a comatose state for a couple of days. I don't know how good this really is, but I just can't take that kind of crap any more. I stopped short of labelling their religion a false one, with some rather colorful words. I think that would have gone a little too far. Anyway, one day later, and I'm feeling great. That kind of crap from people in the old ministry would have kept me in a slump for two weeks, and I would just sit and take it.

The ironic part of this all is, the Belizean folk are likely to be hauling in trash bag fulls of cashola out of a product that TWI ABANDONED. I wonder how much TWI raked in last year through classes? I bet they didn't hit ten percent of what BBRC took in. There are likely to be thousands of old grads that would buy a copy- but wouldn't have a copy of WAP if you begged them to take it. Its gotta sting, at least a little bit.

Don't get me wrong about the Belizian BRC people though. I imagine their motives are pure, they just think its the right thing to get old doc's theology out there again. Agree with the classes or not, I say peace be with them..

Yep. Well, you know they seem to be fighting a war on many fronts. But you know, the Belizian "problem" is a matter of PRIDE. They have LOST CONTROL of PFAL, old music video and tape publications, in short, THE WORKS. I imagine the BBRC could publish all of the old classes, including doc vic's advanced classes, WITH IMPUNITY. I do not claim to be any kind of legal expert or anything, but I looked over Belizian copyright law. Under their law, the copyright holds only if whatever material in question is CURRENTLY published, and in a SUFFICIENT AMOUNT for the market. TWI loses on all counts. At least that is the way I understood the wording. Considering they would go to the grave, clutching their precious copyrights, this has just got to hurt.

Its funny in a way, TWI has made quite a "stink" over their precious copyrights and such the last few years.. When it comes to Belize, they are QUIET. Quiet as a church mouse, I wonder why? Could it be that they are not as "prevailing" as they once thought? Perhaps someone found a weakness in the armor? You just GOTTA know that this had to be one of the agenda items prior to the new board and assignments. I admit, it would have been fun to see rosies fat and veins bulging profusely, and sweat running down between her ears, because they are so close together (Spike Jones, forgive me).. Had to have been pretty ugly. They don't pay those poor guys enough.. So what to DO? 1. Send a group of high-class lawyers on a really nice trip to try to prevail against impossible odds. I'm sure this was discussed at length. 2. After sending them, try to recover the losses. They could always market PFAL themselves, at two-thirds the price the Belizian people are. But they would have to explain to the innies why they are offering admitted "old wineskins" to the world. Sure they could come up with something.. since they supposedly consider all options, this had to be included in discussions, I am sure. 3. Or they could always do the customary alternative, shut their da*n mouths, bend over, and take it. And don't let the innies have a clue about it. Only those who lurk here will know where you can get the class. If I was just a lurker, this is the last thing I would ask about at the next household fellowship..

I wonder if they sent the BOT a catalog, so they would know where they could get PFAL again. Could advertise on one of those empty signboards close to New Knoxville..

But I think the Belizian BRC probably are doing what they think is right. Plus they are actually doing something good for the people of Belieze. From what I understand, the Belizian government LOVES them. Yep, lets see ole rosie go down and do some litigation against them, on THEIR terms. The Belizian group may not be doing it on purpose, but it really is refreshing to see somebody with impunity rub those fat bastards noses in s*it.
