HA! :D

Yes I am! or -- wait --maybey I'm not! I thought I knew where I was but ----- Hmmmmmmm??? Why am I in this hand-basket, and where are we headed?? :unsure:

WN -- HA!! Reminds me of the time I was dating an ex-Jehovah's Witness gal, and she invited me to their *memorial service* (communion service to you and I). Even though she was *dis-fellowshipped* (M & A in our terminology), she was still allowed to go. I dressed in my *best* (or what I thought was my *best*). I was the only guy there, that wasn't wearing a dark suit and tie. Hey -- my idea of dressed up is a shirt with a collar, and buttons up the front of it! :D Yea -- I stuck out like a sore thumb as well, and I nearly compounded the error, by almost taking a piece of bread, and a sip of wine, as it was passed around the parishioners there. But I saw that no one else was doing that. They don't partake. The bread and the wine are passed through the aisle's --- (just like a collection plate at a Protestant church service), but no one takes a morsel of bread, nor do they sip at the wine. Something to do with *only the 144,000* who will be in *heavan* can do that. Maybe Raf can elaborate on that. :) But -- because of my lack of *proper* clothing --- I got descended on by 8 to 10 men, after the meeting with a gleam in their eye. After all -- they are witnesses, eh?? I think they saw *fresh meat* for their particular fellowships!

Wonder if they can plead *the munchies*, as a defense!!

I thought he mighta been on a pilgrimage to the *Holy Jonny Lingo Land* in search of more smoked salmon! I like the *new* name too, Chef. :)

Like this?? :) ??

Mary Cate sure-as-h***-won't show up, but I bet Dougie would! I would too -- for that matter. :) Any other Minney-sotan's here??

After all this -- I'm still having a problem with the *signless return*. Methinks I need to print this all out, and take some vacation time to look it over. Something doesn't sit right here. (Just my IMO -- don't you know)

Aw shucks -- the *filters* here, shut down the link. :( Hmmmm. Go to http://www.snopes.com -- click language, then acronyms, and see which one shows up first. :D

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge??? See SNOPES.COM

Whenever I hear someone mention a company name --- I add the www. in front of it, and the .com behind it! :D It almost ALWAYS works. ;)

Yes. Yes I have. Not many left up here in Northern Minney-soda, but there are a few. I ran into some ex-wafers, at a Baptist church I decided to attend one Sunday. I ran into a couple more at a Vineyard fellowship, several years ago. I got a phone call from an ex-way lady (retired, and living 25 miles from here), cause she saw my posts here on GreaseSpot, and wanted to know if it was *safe* for her daughter to get involved with twi. And heres another one too--- This happened about 10 years ago (ancient history - I know), but relevant to this here. I was doing deliveries (my job at the time), and while unloading the van, and a familiar looking person was walking my way. I looked at him, and he looked at me, and I realized he was someone that had taken the class about 10 years previous to that. :blink: He walked right up to me and said ---- "Soooooo. How is the F***** WAY OF WIERWILLE doing these days??? I told him that twi was (for the most part) toast. I've never seen a bigger grin on anyone's face, than I did that day.

BINGO!!! :D It was the *brown* book, NOT the *yellow* one! ;) T-Bone ---

Hiya Galen. :) Not an exact quote -- but I did some looking through J.E. Stiles, and E.W. Bullinger books I have here. Came up with this -- from E.W. in his WORD STUDIES ON THE HOLY SPIRIT. Of course -- HOW TO ENJOY THE BIBLE by Bullinger --- Has all the *To whom*, *when*, *how*, *where*, etc. Perhaps docvic got *original*, and lumped the chapter headings into one saying?? Dunno. But it's a speculation I wouldn't discount. ;)

Hey there Medic. :) Check out GIBSON GUITARS to see what's *available* these days. :)

Well shucks! Now I've got a coupla other ideas, but danged if I'm gonna trot 'em out here anee-more! :D I saw the feet move as well, and what was Mr magic man doing when his hands were pressing on her stomach??? It's *supposed*, yet that is where the attention was drawn? Well -- I'm not a New Yorker raised wary of any and all things. Mah Hoosier upbringing never included that *lesson in life*. I've always been fooled by the *pea under the nutshell* trick. I confess -- I'm not getting it. :( He he he!! Wordworlf -- this is starting to sound like --- "Keeds! Don't take my word for it! Search the illusion for yourselves!" We should nominate you for MOG --- Magician Of GreaseSpot!

Dan -- then I'll look closer. :)

Hmmm. I don't think that is in JCING. I just did a cursory *flipping through* the book, and no mention (that I saw) of anything other than the Council of Nicea. Perhaps what you are remembering came from a SNS tape??

I was out in late '85. When the POP hit the fan, I felt a bit better about it. ;) Wondered about my decision at first --- but then looked at those lost in the leadership fog, and knew I did the right thing.

Are these television shows??? :unsure:

Hmm. Maybe one midget sitting on another's shoulder's? Or trick photography?? The latter seems more plausible. :)

HERE, and HERE, for your perusal on past ones. :)

JOGA TV :D

Even I --- Mr. Non-movie goer -- could get that one right!!

I know! And I was quoting verbatim from my copy of JCING! I agree about Buzzard. His is a good book. Another good one to look at is WHEN JESUS BECAME GOD, by Richard Rubenstein. Rubenstein's book is VERY easy to read and I'd recommend it to anyone. :)
