An interesting observation, about tapes from the past. I remember clearly -- 1975, and fellowshipping at a *Way home* in Bloomington, Indiana. Two *townhouses* side by side, men in one, women in the other. Twig was held in the men's *abode*, where a prolific collection of reel-to-reel tapes, lined the walls in a bookcase that extended from the floor to the ceiling. All cooking was done in the women's *abode*, And nothing (from a *ministry* viewpoint) was ever held there. J*hn and D*rcie Sc*tt (6th corps and the branch leaders at that time) {from what I was told}, *donated* those tapes, to the branch here in town for all to access. I remember the first 3 tapes were all labeled 101, and --- they were all Bishop Pillai teaching on Orientalisms. The tapes where Docvic got Bishop Pillai to sit in front of the mic --- and expound what he knew, concerning orientalisms -- from Genesis -- to who knows where he ended up at. :) This was 30 years ago, and each time I have gone back to Indiana to visit my family, I've tried to find these tapes. There were (about) 600 of them, in totality. No luck. They've all disappeared. Some of the folks in that way home were : Jim McKe* Jeff Tiedem*n Bill Mort*n Ed Weather*ll (and other's who I remember -- but can't put a name to). and when J*hn and D*rcie left for headquarters, Rick Pany*rd, and Chris Sk*dgell took over. The two *way homes* (side by side) ended up in obscurity, and so did the tapes. What a history *available* , and what has been lost. :( Granted -- these tapes weren't *old wine-skins*, yet they disappeared, just the same -- Somehow -- I don't think they would be welcome in way-world, these days.

Single Women Are Skinnier Than Married Women --- A news report out shows that single women are skinnier than married women. The main reason citing evidence for this fact was --- A single women comes home from work, looks at what's in the refridgerator, and goes to bed. A married woman comes home from work, looks at what's in bed, and goes to the refridgerator!!

templelady and ckeer --- Thanks!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Grandma's Marathon is this weekend. One of the premier marathons in the country. It starts in Two Harbors, Minney-soda, and ends up (conviniently), at the doorstep of Grandma's Restaurant, here in Duluth --- (surprisingly) an exact 26.2 miles, from the starting point! 9.000 runners are expected to participate tomorrow, and they bring with them -- family, friends, onlookers, support teams, money, you name it. Duluth just grew in populatiion by 30,000 (plus) folks, for the weekend. (click the runners) The *original* story told -- is that a bunch of lumberjacks up in *da nort voods*, worked all summer, and then were transported down to town (Two Harbors). Grandma's has always depicted themselves as a bordello (from the ealy days), and *as the story goes* --- back when the lumberjacks were deposited on Lake Superior's Shore in Two Harbors --- with money in their pockets from working all summer, and lust in their hearts from lack of female companionship --- It is said that ---- Ole (the Norwegian) said to Sven (the Swede), that he was going down to Grandma's, and was going to take all the women first. Sven said "No Way" and began running down the highway to Duluth --- (Highway 61 --- for all you Bob Dylan fans!) ;) Ole followed in close pursuit, as did all the other lumberjacks, each fearful that *nothing* would be left for them when they got there. Supposedly -- THAT was the 1st Grandma's marathon! Well -- that's the *legend*, but the reality is, that this is one of the most sought after marathon wins. (Boston Marathon is obviously still in number one position). The temps (for you runners) will be about 59 degrees the entire route, as Lake Superior is on the left side of the runners the entire way -- with all the winds, and temps that it may decide to bestow that day (tomorrow) on those running. Just thought I'd share a bit about what is happening here. This is the 30th anniversary -- and one runner is there, who has run 28, of the past 29. :blink: (PS --- I don't go anywhere near the race. It's a ************ down there!)

Topoftheworld goes to Topoftheclass (Not PFAL!!)

Sunesis -- thanks soooo much for your input! (You too, way2much) It adds volumes of understanding. "Over-by-then". I got *in* in '75 also. Had anyone told me it was *over* when I was just starting, I'd have told them they were nuts. Not now. :(

From John Juedes' Site --- "(Wierwille also claimed that "I took everything I could take at the Moody Bible Institute, too, through their correspondence courses" (TWLIL, p.175). However, although Moody records the names of all the students who completed courses since 1901, Wierwille's name never appears, indicating that if he took any courses, he never completed a single one.)" Ya just gotta LOVE this site!!

And those two lines are ..........????? :)

SSDS -- (same s###, different sport). Same thing happens in hockey -- except it's on ice, and not grass. :) (PS --- I agree. Make em play till the cows come home. Let's get a REAL winner here.) ;)

Now THERE'S A DEFINITION OF TRUTH you don't hear too often. ;) He he he! :B)

Where's Mrs. Lingo --- Hmmm???

Heh! Glad you could *see it in the original*. ;)

Oldies -- You can stop (anee-time now) in your striving to master the ridiculous. <_<

Now why didn't we know that!?!?

Can't help you out with that there, Sprawled Out. It surprised me too, that docvic's teachings were tossed into *Gehenna*. I was outta twi before the *3-ring lcm circus* got into full swing. (Lions and Tigers, and Athletes!! (Oh My!!!!) Never did have the WAP class, so I don't know about what was taught there --- As the *New, Present, Truth* (gag).

I ALWAYS put the seat back down --- but NEVER the lid!!! (am I disqualified???)

Worthy of being repeated. Thank you way2much.

Let's just bring this to the top. History of twi, posted by those who were there early on.

Tv.? Movie? Offshoots??

We've had our *Phil* of vp worship!!
