Aha.. now we are starting to see a little light on da situation.. so now you are accusing a MACHINE of a falsehood. What "falsehood"? That you are "welcome"? FINALLY, somebody in this new and improved version of the organization is going to admit this. You are NOT welcome. "Our ignorant machine, which is stating otherwise, is lying". And you do have a good point. We paid once, and most of us paid again and again. Sounds reasonable. Just refund us our "membership" fees. Interesting.. the more this guy "dances with devils", the more doo doo he seems to getting himself into..

"whadya mean I can't take it with me?!!!"

Yep. Like a squatter on a supposed silver mine. She will be clawing the ground to stay even when she is long past dead..

Aha. He "looked at your website"! Uh oh.. must be "puzessed" now.. heh heh. Another victim of "web debils". Roy, I am really suprised that he responded to your email to begin with. It's gotta go bad for him now- now he's having whole conversations with "web devils".. heh heh.

"You can only improve on the tithe by increasing the proportion" (e.g. give us LOTS more money)

She probably thinks she owns da place..

I think they got rid of all of the welcome mats a few years ago during one of the infamous "burn the chaff" weekends.

"you're welcome" in Vey vocabulary- "we will "put up" with you if: 1. You have LOTS and LOTS of money. And be willing to throw generous amounts of it in our direction. Even doctrinal issues can be ignored if you are willing to throw enough dough our way. 2. If you do not have LOTS and LOTS of money, just LOTS of it, you have permission to throw a generous amount of it in our direction, provided you do not "cause trouble". 3. If you have only SOME money, you are allowed to humiliate yourself by jumping at our every request, provided you throw generous amounts of what you do have in our direction. 4. If you have no money, see numbers 1-3. Achieve one of these and you may be "welcome at der vey"."

Like anything else that is "vey", their website smells well, so Rosie.

Hey, it could be a tag-team Saturday morning wrestling spectacular. Let Donna in the ring and work over Harv and da other guy for a while..

Kinda reminds me of "da good ole days". The teacher would go on and on about the accuracy of the word, how everything is in it, can trust it, find a promise and believe it.. then he turned around and said something to the effect of "what do you think? Do you think this is some kind of magic book?" I felt like saying, I thought that's what you just said a few minutes ago..

And remember, groundhog day is not just a holiday. Its a state of mind.

I feel sorry for the poor folks left in there, thinking things might get better. Each pres seems to have outdone the previous pres in the category of sin, egotism, and just plain meanness.

Maybe they can't find anybody willing to step up to the plate. If I had to be/look like her, I wouldn't want it either. Cripe, they can keep the money.

That's a pretty good point. When things are going right, it's "see, He does what we tell Him to do"- but when things go wrong, I pity the poor guy that's maybe just having a bad day. Doesn't work? You MUST be evil, or slothful, or "spiritually asleep" or... on and on. I personally did not know the Wierwille died from cancer until a few YEARS after I was out. Even then, people kind of got huffy saying "that's pretty morbid, why would you want to know that?" "well, you say it's a devil spirit. How could that be?" I guess they're still trying to figure it out. In the meantime, they leave it where it is, swept under the rug. I guess you have to do something to be able to live with yourself..

Ex seventies.. now that's a real idea. If Bally's is wasting his "talent" he could "help" Enron out of all of their little problems.. he could claim he witnessed first hand an organization heading for sure disaster..

I think they changed that one, "I've got no friends when it comes to da verd" to "I've just plain got no friends". Sad, but true..

Well, smart she may not be, but she can "sorcer" with the best of them.

Wouldn't suprise me if they copied it- word for word.

Now now. Can't accuse the old "gal" of being slothful. Why, at this very moment, she is probably merrily prancing around the cauldron, trying to "conjure" up the greatly anticipated class for the followers to "enjoy". And they WILL "enjoy" it.

Sorry Satori, not trying to kill your thread.. I just find the resorts people go to to put God or miracles in their particular box astounding.

Ignore this if you are squeamish.. heh heh. They really should take a lesson from the witchdoctors, if they have not already have done so. Seems these guys would ingest latex too- lots of it- then projectile vomit white stuff almost upon command. This was obvious proof that they could "dance with devils". Come to think of it, Loy already tried that..

Just when you thought it was safe, there it is again! Oh well- anybody else notice that its still pretty cold? We still have snow around here. I think Phil was right again..

Somehow, "I is da man, and you WILL obey me" probably wouldn't quite do it.

But to watch the "interview" would be amusing, in the least. "Now, "Mr" Martindale, what qualifications do you bring before this board to obtain this position?" "Well, umm, cough cough.."
