    Hi!

    You tell him Raffy.
  2. David, If I start drinking the Penta water, how long does it take to feel better? How long did it take for you?
  3. But they didn't support him after the charges were viewed as valid. When it was legally proven, or "threatened" to be legally proven that the charges were valid, what did TWI do? They booted him. They didn't continue to support him. They could have even kept him in that same position and just paid the same amount of cash out for the lawsuits. But they did get rid of him.Not only are the TWI directors being accused of openly, with full knowledge, publicly supporting child molestation (which would be a stupid thing for them to do even on a 5 senses level, even if they couldn't give a rat's a$$); but also the folks who "packed the house" in support of Mark are being accused as well. In other words, you're average twi Joe Believer supports child molestation as well? Maybe I look like I have the word DOPE imprinted on my forehead, but I don't believe some of these accusations that are flying.
  4. I'm thinking about this, and it makes about as much sense as TWI giving their complete and public support of Martindale, after everyone knew about his sexual abuses.Are folks to believe that TWI has absolutely no problem, no scruples at all, and with full knowledge supports this vast orgy of evil celebration of child molestation as is being suggested by some here? How stupid is it for TWI to openly support child molestation? Come on folks. Doesn't make sense.

    Tivo

    Hey Tom, I am thinking just that. Only problem is, I live in a co-op, and they have very strict rules for where the dish can be. The dish can't be on the roof. It must abide on a part of the window and window sill that belongs to me. So it would depend on whether I can get a good signal from where the dish must be installed. I'm going to wait till I get a little more fed up with cable and then try to make my move to satellite.

    iPods

    Mister P-Mosh said: Mr. P:Please correct me if I'm wrong and I haven't tried this yet, but to my knowledge, you can copy all your music files and photos and other files and store them on the iPod outside of iTunes. To do this, you need to put the iPod in hard disk mode, then use it as an external drive. Files stored in this manner cannot be heard or viewed, only stored, then copied to another computer via your USB cable. So the trick is to get enough space on your iPod to be able to have your music to listen to in iTunes, AND to store them elsewhere on the iPod in the event of a computer crash. Check this out: USING IPOD AS A HARD DISK
  7. Quote from LLP: LLP, if what you're trying to say is those folks who packed the house in support of Mark acted out of ignorance, I tend to agree. Doesn't make sense to me that TWI as a whole was very comfortable booting Martindale for sexual abuse, yet they support this guy wholeheartedly?

    iPods

    One suggestion if you're buying an iPod: keep it stored in the thin plastic holder that comes with it, until you buy a protective rubber skin. These things get scratched very very easily and you don't want it all scratched up, especially the viewing screen.

    Tivo

    I have DVR but am thinking about switching to Tivo cause my cable company (Time Warner) keeps telling me that I can store 35 hrs. on the DVR hard drive when I can only store around 25 hrs. I'm now on my 3rd DVR machine because of this apparent problem. But DVR only costs me $8.95 per month to rent, and the machine itself is free. Am I correct in saying that one must buy their Tivo machine outright (around $99.00) and then pay for the subscription service, which runs around $12.95 a month?
  10. a few thoughts: --cancellation of the WOW program --shelving of PFAL --statement that "The Word is now Over the World" --anal retentive legalism --harsh treatment to long-time employees

    iPods

    Mark, I think it's definitely acceptable. I'm an original vinyl man, so nothing sounds as good as the original on vinyl. But for overall listening and especially while doing activities this is hard to beat.

    iPods

    My3Cents, it's very easy, all you have to do is press the middle button, then lightly graze your fingertip in a circular motion over the wheel a few times until you get the song you want and viola! you have the song you want! Whitedove, I need the 40GB or 60GB photo compatible model for that. Thanks for the tip!

    Also did you check out audible.com? If you want to listen to books rather than read them (like me) this is the way to go. I signed up for a year, it costs $14.95 per month and that includes 1 book download plus 1 periodical download per month. I already downloaded the New Testament by Gregory Peck, and some other free stuff, like the first Bush/Kerry debate.

    iPods

    From what I hear, they're also starting to make BMW cars with iPod sockets. I hope they also do that with their motorcycles, since I ride BMW... So Kewl... Exc, I think the free songs are chosen for you, you can't just choose what free ones you want.

    iPods

    I think each week you may have to download it from HERE I think you first have to load iTunes to your computer (software comes with the iPod) and then download the Free Single of the Week which downloads right into iTunes...

    iPods

    Jim, that doesn't surprise me in the least. This past weekend, I took a trip to the Danbury Mall and ventured into an Apple store. Nothing but Apple iPods, iBooks, and accessories. They're really making some kewl stuff now.

    iPods

    Just bought a 40GB Apple iPod and this thing rocks. I have almost 2000 songs now stored on it, and a few books. They say this 40GB will hold 10,000 songs. Goodness! This may be hooked up to your car or motorcycle via a combination car charger and FM transmitter. You can hear the songs on FM radio while charging at the same time! Also bought a contraption called "autocomm" which allows me to hear the iPod music inside my motorcycle helmet while riding. Any other folks have an iPod?
  19. I'd go and check out what's happening. Fear not!
  20. I guess it's a tough call. On the one hand, we went on the program to believe God to meet our needs without necessarily asking our parents for support. On the other, you have a parent willing to buy you a new car that will bless you and your family for the rest of the WOW year. I'd have been blessed with it and thanked God for such a generous parent. I guess others wouldn't.
  21. Getting a car loan while out WOW is a highly stupid thing to do, don't you think, for how can one possibly maintain a car loan when one is working 3-4 hours a day, earning minimum wage? Ridiculous. What if the parents had run on hard times and couldn't make the payments? Geeze, I think I'd have raked the person over the coals too. We know the rules before we enter the program, not being in debt and all; but that compounds it with stupidity.I remember one of my WOW years, asking my parents to send cash to buy a moped. That was so kewl in the summertime. Another year, a truck crashed a wow sister's car I was driving, and a wow brother came through with his car as a replacement.
  22. George, since you had a bad Christmas, then make up for it with a very Happy Focking New Years.
  23. I'd like to add that I don't know and really don't feel confortable judging that VPW taught that to manipulate people; all I know is, it doesn't work the way he taught it.
