Well you know... Where the men are men, the women are scarse, and the sheep are nervous!

I first heard these as the "Pentateuch of P's for Practical living." John Lynn used to teach it and at the time the teaching was based on the 5 unique occurences ot prothumos. If memory serves right the word only occurs 5 times in the Book of Acts and each time it is followed by major growth of the Church. And yes, the use referring to finances was to give of one's abundance - TWI has CHANGED a word ( signs of a fall coming!) to make it FINANCIAL giving. Of course they don't really want anyone giving them anything else. And ex10 I noticed that too - very little mention of Jesus Christ. I think this omission is so that they don't have to tip their hand before the indoctrination. It seems to me that they are being VERY careful with what gets written - casting the widest net possible. The last time (and only) I looked at their website it looked tired and stilted. Everything I always hated about religion to begin with.

That's it! Your turn Raf...

I'm sure that I'm on some list somewhere - but who really cares? As far as I'm concerned TWi is on MY "mark and avoid" list! Oh and welcome back Jonny!

Ok now I think I finally got it!

sounds like Bob Dylan's style - but no clue other wise....

Ok guys, I am fairly computer capable. I followed ALL the ideas to a T! But I keep getting error messages like " Error cannot use dynamic (IMG) images" And "Domain errors" WTF? :blink: I could try to download these to my computer and then put them up as thumbnails - but the I also get mixed results with that. (Oh and I AM using both Google and Yahoo! images.)

Ok I'm not exactly sure I know how to put the pic in correctly - but here goes..... Dang I did it wrong! I need some help getting the images on properly - any help out there?

"Hamlet!!!!!"

niKa, I would love to hear from MJ! Please check your PM's because I gave you my name so that you can tell her who wants to contact her. I can also send you another email address if necessary - just in case she doesn't want to be handing out hers.

Say niKa, Are you originally form Oklahoma? I had a good friend - 11th corps - who's dad was the Pres or Vice pres of OU in Norman for years. I spent one Christmas with her during Ho Ho relo and got to attned an OU basketball game. What fun! The audience on the OU side all brought newspapers and when the other team's roster was announced the up up their paper and shouted in unison"WHO CARES!" Her name was Ma ry J*ne G*nning.

I need a drink just to start playing! Who's gonna' get Divine Design to make the poster of the rules ( cuz you KNOW that there's no way we'd all remember them after the opening prayer!) BTW Dmiller - now would be a good time to sell those tapes you were just kidding about!

I will be in Bethel from July 25 - Aug 5 2006. hey david - is that a Llama!?? wow! Doesnt' look quitel llike a horse. I'm looking forward to the beauty. Thanks to all!!! I'll keep you all posted. Oh and Digi - Gold, gold what gold????

Ok garth - imagine this lcm is the farmer. The sheep are little corps-ettes ( like in athletes of the spirit) ........Now do you get it????? If it helps, imagine vpw as the farmer serving drambouie to the sheep.....in the motorcoach..... ;)

Well no DH. At least that's not how I see it. A perons's emotions are what they are. You can say that a person should or shouldn't feel a certain way but it's a bit futile. My concern is always how hurt is handled here in cyberspace. I guess I felt that WG went from hurt to accusing awfully fast. I have found it valuable to give a person the benefit of the doubt - especially given that a lot of the signals that we normally get from each other in a conversation are hidden behind computer screens. WG got hurt and it appears that Mark's feelings were at least bruised a bit as well. I always tell my kids that they have to TELL someone when their feelings are hurt so that then the other person has the opportunity to respond. I also tell them that it doesn't matter if they meant to hurt someone else - if someone says that they're hurt you apologize and ask forgiveness. I feel like that process was somehow aborted. ( it doesn't really matter if I MEAN to hurt you - hurt is hurt and I should take no pleasure in it.) Asking forgiveness is the best way I know of to get things straight again. This topic is currently 5 pages long. WG was already upset by post 5 and stopped posting altogether somewhere on page 2. So now there have been 3 pages of discussion on who's hurt and who's too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Mark was not the initial person that WG was most upset with (I believe that was satori) yet, Mark is the one bearing the brunt of the accusations right now - or at least the one doing the most explaining - perhaps because he truly wants to do the right thing. Hopefully WG will take some time and return. I do think that there is a tendency to treat each other rudely here at GS - although there is also a great comradery considering that many of us do not know the person we are posting to. I often wonder if some of us would be surprised to know who is at behind the screen name - especially if it turns out to be a long lost best friend that never reveals their true identity. Ok, now I'm rambling and on my soapbox = I'll let this dead horse lie and quit beating it. Ciao

Ahhhhh - Ok carry on - sorry for the distraction. I have nothing I care to add here. seems like its all been said.

As a full blooded Italian I want to agree with david - but sadly it still is spaghetti even if it does have pineapple - but he might like it better if yuou just called it a pasta dish/ My garandmother used to make a great leg of lamb. She trimmed all the fat, drilled holes with a paring knife and inserted both garlic and mint, then made a paste out of bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic and mint and enveloped the leg in this. Bake. it's delicious! the crust keeps the juices of the meat in and gets a little crusty. We never had mint jelly. Oh and the first course was homemade ravioli! Excuse me - I have to go count my weight watchers points now...

My in-laws have a time share out there so I will have to find out some more info for you CC and Shaz Thanks! all of you this is great, I would love to meet sith as many of you as possible. I'll post more details as I get them right here on this topic. My kids LOVE rocks and minerals so that is a must. OE I'll have to contact you too - my neice is a serious moose freak! I definitley will bring a camera and possibly even my field paint box. Thanks again!

Hey out in cyberspace. Like the title says I am going with a LOT of extended family to Bethel,Maine this summer - in late July. My hubby and his siblings grew up Bangor and Limestone. Here's the question: What if anything, is there to do out in that part of the state? (Bethel that is) We might take a day trip and head to the coast one day - but we were looking for other sites and main (no pun intended) attractions. We will have 3(!!!) teens with us and one 9 year old- so just watching grass grow isn't really a big option, no matter how beautiful the grass might be. Thanks for the help in advance!

Oakspear, I'm confused - and yes this is off topic - Am I wrong or don't you practice some form of Druidism? I thought that I read that somewhere in a post. If so - doesn't Druidism believe that all living things have a spirit? I might have my facts wrong but I was lead to believe that fairies were supposed to be the spirits of flowers.....So I'm thinking that there once was some kind of worship involving all these spririts of the woods.... I'm not asking this to put you on the spot - but it seems to me that this is theism in some form. Pan-theism, granted, but theism just the same. Now if I'm wrong I apologize in advance.

I'll take a SWAG ( Scientific Wild A$$ Guess - tho not really all that scientific) and venture Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd ( I'm not really all that confident tho)

Now Now Groucho, be nice. Not all Corps were like that - maybe all the corps you knew were like that , but I never was and I knew an awful lot of Corps who weren't like that I just have this thing against sweeping generalities - makes one sound like LCM himself - or any other memeber of the BOT. I'm fairly certain that you aren't in either category, Groucho

Thank you Exie. I bow in humbleness to your acceptance. Then I dance my a$$ off just 'cuz I can! Do we need a salt covenant or something? Got any pretzles? Don't lay hands! If God doesn't tell you to then keep your hands off! (That's for you tom)

This isn't about the poster anymore - maybe it never was. Quite frankly the first time I saw this topic I ignored it because I don't like posters - period. Then I clicked on the topic to see if there was a photo of the poster - out of curiosity and to see what this kind of stuff fetches on Ebay, Woo HOO! what a pandora's box I found! I never saw WG harassed - I did read a great dislike of the class and all it represented. Perhaps that is where the discrepancy lies...If WG still finds good in the class ( although she DID say that she didn't feel comfortable selling the books but thought someone out there might like the poster...) then all those comments might have hit a personal cord within her. No matter how much anyone hates TWI, WG is not responsible for all they did- I'm confident everyone has that point clear. Mark - I don't think you insulted her either - didnt' read it that way at all. I hear Christians all the time saying to separate the person from the deed ( so it wasn't just a way thing) isn't it also fair to separate the person from what they sell? I mean WG's not Rozilla, LCM, VPW, etc etc ad nauseum as infinitum ( no Latin corrections please - I get that from hubby) It seems to me we are all better than this - or at least should be. That said, some people really are thin-skinned when it comes to sarcasm... Being a New Yorker living in the South, I can attest to that - and I had it even harder in Kansas where next to no one got New York sarcasm and humor. Ok so why doesnt' everyone lay down their swords and take about 20 steps back and = B R E A T H E
