I sat on my front porch Sunday and watched as 75 mph winds toppled a massive Black Walnut tree. The wind was literally stripping the green leaves right off the trees. Power here is expected to be restored by week's end. I borrowed a bit of power from my neighbor's generator to run the refrigerator. Mother Nature is one tough lady.

Very well stated, TL.

There are at least two The Sower magazines that i know of. One is the magazine associated with the splinter group. The other is a publication for Roman Catholic leadership.

And lest we lose perspective, the whole ball of wax evolved from a CULT! It's like taking clippings from the poison ivy in my backyard and wondering why they won't grow into apple trees.

Thanks for the LW, Don. And now that you've heard Juke "in the original", here's a guy who knew how to "interpret in in literal usage" and "make it his own", George *Harmonica* Smith, the true "Father in The Harp" to countless West Coast musicians that he not only inspired but personally mentored one-on-one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AVEzq3wMfg (The ending is pure theatrics. According to all I've read and heard about George, he was really a "gentle giant".)

Do you really believe this stuff, WhiteDove? Hundreds of posters???? Authorities of the crime???? There are people here (the number really is irrelevant) who have given firsthand, personal testimony of events that happened to THEM. Not to Uncle Louie or Aunt Millie's cousin twice removed. These events happened to THEM. Get it? They were there. And not all these events were "crimes" in the strictest sense of the law. So how would you even know you are witnessing "a crime in progress"? I mean, if you happen to be at Wal Fart and see some guy stuff a turkey down his trousers, you can be pretty certain you are witnessing a crime. But suppose some old boozer claims he can heal the psychological wounds you sustained from childhood sexual abuse by having sex with him; who are you going to tell and what exactly will you tell them? Suppose he uses God's Word to justify fondling his own daughters; who will you tell? We don't know for certain that he fondled his daughters, but we do know for certain that he claimed to have done so in front of a roomful of people.( on more than one occasion.) The guy was a lowlife drunken egotist.( not allegedly). Why on Earth would you feel compelled to stick your neck out to defend him?

You are correct, bulwinkl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4c5lY_5NNU

A "false statement" is one that has been PROVEN to be untrue.

No takers? Here's some more. The keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the dreams. I wait outside the pilgrims door With insufficient schemes. The black queen chants The funeral march, The cracked brass bells will ring; To summon back the fire witch

If only you knew, Ham. If only you knew.

I just hope they have a truck stop nearby that can keep them supplied with Moon Pies!

Mine is paisley. What's that mean?

Giving personal, firsthand testimony of a wrongful event is not the same thing as libel.

(from that same era) The Purple Piper plays his tune. The choir softly sing, Three lullabies in an ancient tongue

Is it All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople?

I just afraid people will see my name and go---WHO????

One point you may have missed is that there are people here who heard it firsthand, themselves, directly from Wierwille. That is not secondhand hearsay, it's personal testimony. Unlike an urban legend, it can be traced directly to it's point of origin. Wierwille said it. That's a fact. Whether you choose to believe it or not means very little to me.

And so, with their bellies full of fig pep and familia, the journey begins----------

Great article Geo. It brought to mind this other tune as well: Desafinado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wJn5E_GyAY...feature=related
