only?

I think I might see the problem.

Traveling down a slippery slope there, me thinks.

What we'd really like to know is whether you'd prefer coffee or tea and your pastry of choice. Oh, and welcome to GSC.

All memories eventually go into oblivion. Except for the ones that morph into something that never was.

Sending a special shout out to the individuals who change the oil and rotate the tires here. Thank You.

You presume correctly, Sir.

I know I'm a couple weeks late with this, but here it is anyhow. Lessons From Jeju

I'm not a lawyer, but I think there may be legal complexities and restrictions involved with a non-profit organization selling property.

Fake toenails? I've heard of fake fingernails, but never fake toenails. To be fair, though, I'm a guy, so I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing.

From the article: "Dr. Wierwille said I would always have a home in The Way Ministry." Note for those who haven't been paying attention: He wasn't really a Dr.

DMiller, rumrunner, and pretty sure Kris, as well.

Looking back at this thread, I realized that at least 3 of these posters have already passed on. Time just keeps marching ahead. Maybe we all need a little T-Bone Shuffle.

You can say that again!

So, let me see if I can break this down. I left my real home to move to some fake home and eventually figured out the fake home was a scam and that they had ulterior motives. But now, I can't go back to my real home because it no longer exists. So, the fake home says, "Hey, no problem. Come back here and we'll pretend we're your real home again, just like we did before." No thanks. I'll take a hard pass on that one.

Will there be refreshments?

IT's the secret ingredient. https://www.google.com/search?q=ersatz+coffee+firesign+theater&rlz=1C1CHWL_enUS850US850&oq=&aqs=chrome.1.35i39i362l8.335994217j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8f127e4f,vid:DwUS4dXUNnA

Whichever one is available. But, first, I have to figure out what to do with it.

I'm picturing one of those old, green, Way Tree bumper stickers with that as the motto instead of "Word Over The World". "Never fast enough! Never strong enough! Never good enough!"

It doesn't matter whether or not he believed it himself. The point is that he lent credibility to a guy who did.

So, the answer is to tell people they're possessed by a "devil spirit"?? Yeah, I think I can see why they might feel unwelcome here.

A long time ago, I got to be pretty good friends with this guy at work who knew a lot more about the job than I did because he had learned it from his father. He was always ready to offer help and teach me new skills. I was appreciative. We weren't really friends outside of work, but one day I offered to buy him a beer and a burger after work as a way of thanking him. As we sat there talking, the conversation turned to high school and working on old cars. "Well", he said, "I didn't work on cars because I was too busy learning about makeup and clothes." He saw my startled response and laughed out loud. "Yeah", he said, "When I was born, I was a girl." He showed me a picture of his kid and an old Mother's Day card and we talked about it a little more. He said his family had disowned him. He really opened my eyes to things I'd never thought about before. Then the conversation shifted back to work and we had a couple more beers. We both moved on to other jobs not long after that, but I tried to look him up a few times, maybe have a couple beers for old times' sake. Do you know how hard it is to find someone with the most common last name in America? Life is short, everybody. Just accept people for who they are instead of who you want them to be. We're all gonna leave this planet some day. Let's make the best of the time we have and be good to each other... That is all. Carry on.

I saw a meme once that said "We know the earth isn't flat because, if it was, cats would have knocked everything over the edge long ago."
