*Dooj dons Kevlar waders* Okay, what time do you want that croissant snack? (Nervous laugh...)

:blink: Why does he feed you in the first place? :blink: As the chef around here I should know...I don't want that kind of reminder...

I'd want to see if we could use the auditorium for concerts. We could use Captain Morgan's peg leg as a rolling pin. The rest of him we might need to find another use for. We'll keep the rum, though. ;)As for Captain Crunch - he's going into the fruitcake - added texture. So... no "Captain popsicles..."

I won't use the title.;) I like bourbon - but if you insist, then I suggest you start patrolling the waters for some pirates carrying rum. Hey. Didn't your grandmother have the captain of the Titanic over for dinner... ;)

Thanks Eyes... I have some moments of clarity when I'm not busy making gravy... I was also thinking: Even IF TWI were to be fixed and changed (BIG f'en IF, I know ;)) there is already so much baggage associated with TWI. Why fight all those decades of negative publicity, and the "cult" label? Why start to rebuild something from two miles underground? That's a huge hole to dig out from. If my kid came to me and said that she found a wonderful ministry called "The Way" I'd definitely have something to say... On second thought... keep the name. That way we'll see you coming and tell everyone to run.

Paw, My slow cooker recipe doesn't call for browning the meat first - but I did it anyway. I'll try it without and report back to you with the results when I do.

Why do they need to overtake or outlive the current regime? I say, get out into the world, have a life. Get a job. Struggle to make a life and watch how some folks deal with their problems. Meet some real folks with real problems and real deep despair and spend some real time on your knees for these folks. Really see how things are and not how they appear to be when you are safely tucked away in some cow pasture in Ohio. THEN - after you've gotten to know real people, ask God to help you help them. Listen to Him. You may not have a mutli-billion dollar "ministry" but you will have a Godly ministry. God doesn't need a "President." He needs people who have their hearts open to Him and are willing to lay themselves down for his people. Jesus is Lord. All other postions are subject to change.

If they passed the mantle to the Squirrel, they'd get to make it smaller and use the extra cloth for something. Hiding the nuts could be a good thing - but if you hide them in my pantry they WILL show up in a meal. ;) (Of course that would mean I'd need a whole staff in charge of biscuits and gravy just to keep Eyes happy.) When the Lord Squirrels descends from heaven with a shout, will he be holding a fruitcake in his other hand? Fruits and Nuts seems about right to describe any future of TWI... Maybe they'll need to do a purge first....

I'm fairly certain that if there was a roll in the vicinity, Eyes would be calling for extra gravy and Larry would be lunch.

Uhhh....I wasn't in the dark. I was thinking that maybe you could give a few more details about his character. I apologize, but telling me that "he has God's word in his heart and wants to change things out there" really tells me nothing. The standard for "having God's work in his heart" is based on TWI's teachings - which I believe to be highly inaccurate. He wants to change things - that can be both good and bad. Just take a look at the Old Testament kings and you'll get my drift. You'll notice that I never joined the fray concerning B M*y....... I try not to go after any of the children - even if they are full grown adults now. What I saw of the dad I never cared for. I have heard mixed stories from folks concerning he and his wife. I never knew them personally. You know this guy personally - fine. I'd say that "his friends" have done more to thwart his alleged plans than anyone here....but time will tell. I hope for his sake that he's a good guy with a heart instead of a small nuclear device in his chest. Since you know where the cream and sugar are, perhaps you'll bring some down to the prayer room.

Thanks johniam - I never heard the music of the Dead Kennedys... I was more going for a pun - as I"m sure you could figure out. I think once a person is mixing their worship with a paycheck you have problems. I heard of a ministry lately, that has no (or very little) full time staff. Everyone has a full time job and they do what they do when they can. I believe it is called "The Prayer Rooms." I really don't have more information, except that they have a place in Kansas that has kept prayer going 24 hours a day since 1995 - in this particular location. I know very little about this group, my friend sent her son to camp there this summer.

Wasn't there a group called "The Dead Presidents"? ;)

"Dentist in Gravy" Hmmmmmm.....sounds like a gourmet meal if you add some new potatoes with rosemary, asparagus, and a nice Pinot Noir. Hon, I'm not jealous. I wouldn't dare to tick off anyone with that much blood on her teeth.

There are some folks here that would liken it to "Night of the Living Dead."

I see your point Abi. But I can still dream... I think I'd nominate Rainbowsgirl. She has said on more than one thread that she made the hard (but RIGHT) decision to not go in the Corps because she put her son first. So... she was never Corps - GOOD quality for a new TWI leader. She put a person over a position - even better quality! Now the question is, if nominated would she run? And if she won, could I be ordained as chef?

There's a good side?... :blink: Good thing you're in the ocean, cuz it takes a lot of water to do the job your asking...;)

Geez! Not even her mother called her that...

You can't make a federal case out of hearsay... :biglaugh: Okay Johniam, I see what you mean. OTOH - I also don't see HOW a big deal could have been made out of this. There was no appropriate way to call attention to the rest of the students while the class was going on, IMHO. BTW - I have never bashed you in these forums....I've not appreciated some of your words - but "man-bashing" has never been in my repetoire...

Well for this you'll need to wait at least 4 days. The recipe starts out : "Condense one moose to 1 cup..." :biglaugh: I'd start trolling now...

Rack of Lamb....Yummy! Moose Pizza, Moose Meatballs, Moose Steaks with Mouse Pudding, Moose Mousse..... The title of my next book:;) "How to Serve Moose"

Ahem. I'm a chef, thank-you very much! ;) I'm working on my latest cookbook as we speak: "Evil Ways With Sharks - Or How to Cook Like a Devil"

I think Bumpy has fin envy. Me? I'm happy being me and doing what I do... ...someone tell me what it is I do, again... ;)

Happy Birthday Rumrunner... you still can't make a decent cheesecake - but you got time to learn... ;) Have a great day...

Socks, I do believe you should write a song for that post.

Look out Larry!... :o
