Ham

OH YES! Now I remember.. he was a physics teacher at the high school here. Now it is defunct.. the building was torn down a number of years ago.. He ended up marrying one of his students.. He and very young *wife* went into the corps.. I've put his name on friend tracker as well. No reply, nada, nothing.. ha! why couldn't we just.. get.. what is the word.. carefully, and genetically guarded.. just plain.. well, carefully. Laid. Now that we choose to speak at least explicitly sexually.. where is Johniam.. is it just shock to you, or is it reality.. yeah. Witnessing always sucked.. it got so much in the way, so to speak..

I have only two offspring. Both conceived in love, at least as far as I am concerned.. The seventies really sucked. at least sexually and spiritually.. ah yes.. this character's mentor. B*tch D*v*es. he witnessed in the local bars as well.. The Anchor. Kanawha City.. they generally served alcohol to anyone who exhibited the capacity to be able to breath air.. where is all of this going.. I wish I knew.. Has to make sense to somebody here..

then there was the time I gave a "lady(?)* a ride to twig on a motorcycle. It was a Honda. Lower form. About a 360.. the "coordinator" says something like.. what are you going to do.. just witness to the "lady"? I'm thinking.. now you're telling me. sure.. makes perfect sense. I can barely support myself here.. Unintended pregnancy? Yah.. that's the ticket to the more abundant life, I'm sure. This character was really demented. On many levels.. I've mentioned his name on friend finder. No, he will never read this, nor will anyone guess his identity.. probably still some kind of household coordinator, in da way. well, one chief difference. I don't have a half a dozen offspring trying to chase me down.. at least probably.

why can't these nutcases just allow such situations progress to their natural conclusion.. now that's what I'm talking about.. a divine, heaven and earth moving "movement" of sorts. and the Creator provides the means to clean up the consequences.. Cool story, friend..

This is one of my most pleasant memories of the years of involvement in "gawd's ministry". I found an individual, just as insane as myself, at the time.. the weird thing.. I came to the realization it was all a sham. But it was still like music..

Yeah. That's about what happened.. my old ex brother in law.. he comes back.. he says something like.. "I can't leave you alone for five minutes and you're casting spirits out of each other.." well, paraphrased of course. I wish he'd come here and give the exact meaning of his words..

Well.. mine was.. Dueling Exorcists. "We are not here to study the bible" OK lady, agreed. Those ground rules will work both ways, now, won't they? She knew I was involved with da way. "I rebuke thee, foul spirit of blasphemy, in the name of Jesus.." I fire off the next volley. "out, thou foul spirit of idolatry, in da name of the Lord.." the exchange went on for some time. We traded exorcisms of "foul spirts".. from error, to who knows what. I have a good imagination.. finally.. at the last.. she called for a truce. "You just have to hang loose with Jesus here.."

Yes, quite.

Thank you for your kind words. Even though we are using *slightly* different vocabulary, I think we practically agree on all points here.. what kind of experience and brain power does one need.. well.. seems the more one has, the less one has..

Plus it was a *convenient* name to drop in 1967. Barth was what.. eighty years old at the time, and within one year of the end of his life? Somehow, I don't think confirmation of da victer's claim was exactly part of the vicster's plan.. I think the one at HQ wasn't wearing a filter.. came out of packs of Kool shorts..

vewy vewy interesting.. why pick a *revelation* that was not exactly documentable? I mean.. if he could have shown some record of a run of twenty or so winning tickets, it might be a TAD more believable.. "don't try this at home, kids.." maybe he got the names of the winners from the fortune-teller..

Interesting. Too bad many others of us didn't do the same.. at least a lot sooner..

The last creature I watched.. was lucky. Normally, the speed limit through this zone approaching a dead end is 20 mph. Squirrels could easily gambol out onto the road, and out of the way of danger.. but the car was going at least 45. The Squirrel leaped, and ran like there was no tomorrow.. he missed the front tires of this idiot by about six inches, by estimation.

yes. very, very good friend.. thank you for your kind comments.

Maybe.. the only difference between a Holy Creature, and a grease spot.. is the humane application of the brakes during one's pilgrimage through life..

Just out of curiosity. What was your first impression? My first impression of some wiccans.. I couldn't label them as evil.

There are so many other schools of thought. Life was not very "interesting" when there was no male or female designation..

I think the big problem is trying to shove an Infinite God into a well behaved, logical, sane, predictable package.. I wonder what it is like to be normal, predictable, well behaved, logical, and self-contained for an eternity.. I can be that. Well, for a few moments at a time.. maybe at least when it counts..

Targeting the vulnerable.. I think da way had a lot of targets. On one level, those searching for answers, and who could provide a little bit of money, blood and sweat. On another, those with excess of money looking for a wort(less) organization to throw it to.. on another, those with excess of fame to provide some kind of stamp of approval..

from Skyrider on another thread.. How come I never heard of this? Was it at an old advanced class or something? Anybody know any details? did herr victoid emcamp himself about the tent.. Loudly claiming "victory* in jesus' name over da spirits of one so possessed? Was it a case where he was just so obnoxious that any reasonable (unpossessed) person would RUN in the other direction? I had a similar experience once, but I did not run off. I just started "casting spirits" out of the insane religious nutcase trying to do the same thing to me..

I don't remember this..

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy.. maybe this is too much.. :)

You have to read it in the original.. some of the verses.. it sounds like he is singing.. "nothing is going to chain my world".. Yeh! I heard it.. in the second repetition of the chorus..

I know where the dream ends. I have seen it.. just not sure about the timing, or exact details..

What is it.. there is a verse, somewhere.. about someone who hastens to be rich will not be innocent.. god bless them.. the wife of one the corps "men" here.. said boldly.. "you can't blame US of that.."
