"Enraged" may be an understatement. I imagine ole rose is on the phone every other day with their now rich lawyers.. "Whadya mean, do you mean to tell me we can't do anything!!!??" "Well, Ms(?) Rivenwoof, outside of giving our star lawyers a nice vacation in Belize, without results, that's about right"

Makes perfect sense. Instead of the customary three, they now have five that can be named in the next litigation..

I imagine ole rosie is just FUMING. The pictures of the staff there, they actually look, well, happy.

Probably working the latrines over as we speak..

I smell another lawsuit..

I'm suprised they didn't name this one "the decade of performance". I wouldn't want that hulk (headquarters) on my back.

Could be, Belle. And I bet they will have to justify (squeeze the financial life out of who's left) their existence. I bet with fifteen regions, innies are about to feel the real pressure.

I just wonder what kind of "wisdom" of "forsight" went into the new five year plan, and what do those numbnuts expect to actually ACCOMPLISH? There must have been meetings.. Let's see. Now they have ten regions. For what? What can possibly justify it? Certainly not "growth". Certainly not increased revenue. Unless they plan on REALLY putting the screws to the few innies that are left. "You want FORTY percent now? Oh well, why fight it.." And adding two more to the board, if they could handle things with three board members already, why the need to add two more vice presidents? What possible amount of growth do they anticipate, to take such a drastic approach to business? Certainly lawsuits and copyright infringment were high on the agenda.. specifically, the Belize "problem". Personally, I think the best they can do about that, short of giving a team of lawyers an all-expense high class vacation to Belize, is to just quietly wish that the problem will go away by itself. They have left the WORST of the Nazi, power mongering, hateful SOB's in charge of whole regions. That fact alone suggests to me that whatever is in planning is NOT an attempt to "redefine da ministry to da world". Same bunch of crooks, in my opinion. So, what's the deal?

Yep. What weight they've got left. But it is bizarre, to say the least. PFAL can hardly be considered the "cutting edge of technology", as far as the biblical world is concerned. Outmoded, outdated, flawed, plagiarized, and impractical. Much like the organization itself. There is far far better out there, if you want that kind of thing. But PFAL is the BEST they've got to work with, yet they refuse to use it. Sure makes sense.. And to top it off, if they re-marketed it, there are a few here that would drop what they are doing, return to da ministry, give them fifteen percent of their income, and GLADLY suffer the abuse to hear ole doc vic's (praise be his name, Steve!) voice once again. Seems like they don't need the money, anymore.

Belle, I loved it. Especially the one about male genital injury. One frame, the guy reminded me of the Bobbit character, heh heh. "Aggggh" heh heh.

Wouldn't suprise me if they made a move claiming they had copyright to the King James Version. But it makes me wonder why they even think PFAL is worth fighting over. Honestly.. they refuse to "publish" it any more. It is NOT a current source of income for them, only a liability. Costs money to try to defend their "honor" in this matter.

Well, you could always ask it for its I.D. Probably have a picture of Dracula on it, DOB in 1942, and definitely NOT an organ donor.

And there are those among them that would do the same to some if not all of us. One thing you can say though, the law worked death, literally. I still don't quite what to make of all this yet. But I agree with you, I can't understand how a God of love can dictate and organize death, especially to the innocent. The argument that the Almighty would know ahead of time of some devilishness, and dispatch it with due haste- well, what about Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc., etc...? They'd a been greasespots well before midnight, along with any of their possible devilish "replacements". A lot of the OT was certainly bloody. Seems they pick and choose the worst of it if it seems to support their desires.

Makes me wonder what will happen when some of the Broward hanging chads resurface in about eighteen years or so..

I think a lot of them are just finding out who or what they really married. It may take twenty five or so years. Or maybe they just forgot. I think my ex figured out that I was from outer space or something. I won't argue.. Can either be a good thing, or scare the carp out of them. I witnessed the latter of the two. We were ALMOST fifty. Does that count?

Now you're talking!

Yep. And we are sooooo thankful for that pile of bricks in da cornfield.. My name is even in the stinkin book, if they still have it on display. Ptooie.

OK, Belle, heh heh. I used the wrong word anyway. It should have been "appropriate". There, I fixed it..

Seems pick and choose depends much on the context of the situation. If its about THEM, they seem to like to pick something peaceful and "blessed" like Psalm 103. If its about OTHERS, they usually can find something nasty to curse with, like in Joshua with the Achan in the camp. Whatever fits the "need" I guess. It seems quite easy to steal the blessings or benefits of God for themselves, and at the same time leave the curses to hurl at the "ungodly" or "unfaithful" in their eyes. The unbridled tongue sure is evil, indeed.

The real sad and scary part of all this is much of our former overseers, with da love of god in their souls, would do the same to some of us in the good old USA, if they COULD. And gladly, at that.

Perhaps he should consider marrying up with himself..

Yep. The eyes of strange, erie things are upon us, Belle..

Belle, I have witnessed this- but not exactly in the same words. It is MORE than just another notch in the belt. There are some that seem willing to sacrifice whole families over their arcane beliefs. They are willing to divide whole families simply to showcase the results of not following their stupid mandates to the letter. The last nice little suprise meeting with my ex and I, Mr. vegetables actually said, "when I separate you, then we will find out what really is wrong". The guy was (still probably is) a RAVING LUNATIC. We did not admit it at the time, but at least we finally saw it. We left the meeting, and never came back. His last words, "well, what do you have to say?" "Hmmm. I'll get back to you on it, bye". Mr. vegetables, you farking idiot, don't even think about claiming some victory that the almighty YOU split us up. Just wait till you see what's coming to YOU. Let's see you justify THAT. Miserable SOB.. The scary part, the miserable SOB is STILL in charge of no less than a REGION.

I'm sure you will (are) Exie.

Deleted. Wouldn't have done much good anyway. Belle, hope you had a nice weekend. It was rather hot here Saturday.
