If I can do it, there's hope for us all. Here's how my son showed me how to do it: 1. Go to youtube and find what you want to post. 2. Click on it to get it playing.(it doesn't matter if it finishes before you are done.) 3.Line up with the window that says "embed" 4.Right click----The window will highlight. 5. While still there, left click.------------An options menu will appear.--------click on "copy". 6. Click on "minimize"---That's the little "minus sign" box in the upper right of your screen. 7. Now go to GSC and log on and click the reply box. 8. Type in your text and hit "enter" to drop down a line. 9. Left click again to get an option box and click on "paste" 10. Now use the curser(arrow) to move down to where it says "yada, yada, "OFF" 11. Click to change that to "raw line break" "ON" and then "submit" If that's wrong, somebody bail me out, please! Hey!! No snickering in the back row!

Come,come,now. Was not the Titanic viewed as being a vessel greater than any e'er to precede her ? Did not the crew beam with pride to serve her with devotion? Did not her accoutrements entice as the sirens of folk lore? Surely, you are not suggesting this great maiden of the seas might bear some analogous resemblence to wooden spoked wagons that transported snake oil peddlers in olden days! Nay! Say 'tis not so, I pray thee.

Nope Never did. No particular spiritual reason. It just never made logical sense to me when factoring in the continuing expansion of the world's populaion. Of course, millions of people on the other side of the Earth feel quite differently than I do. Note: In my thinking, at least, "after life" and "reincarnation" are two different things.

Actually, I think the "hearing 3x" thing came from a K.C. Pillai teaching on an Eastern custom called "constrainment". As far as I can remember, here's how it works: Non constrinment version: "Would you like a glass of water?" "yes, thank you."/ or "No, thank you." Constrainment version: "Would you like a glass of water?"---1st time "No, thank you." "Are you sure?"---2nd time "No, thanks." "It's nice and cold."----3rd time "No, thank you."----Your intended response. ---------OR-------------- "Yes, thank you."-----Your intended response. Sheesh!----You know you were in a cult when you remember that stuff 30+ years after hearing it!

For me, it's not a matter of right or wrong, though some religions do consider it taboo. (That is part of why it is such a serious issue for a holocaust survivor to have to live with a concentration camp tatoo.) No, for me it is more a matter of taste. I am from the old school. I don't like to see tattoos on women. I don't think it is wrong(imo), I just don't think they look attractive. My niece, who is a very attractive young lady, has a very tasteful and artistic one between her shoulder blades. It was very obvious when she wore a backless?(don't know much about dresses) wedding gown. I thought it looked tasteful but still somehow distracting. I don't much care for tattoos on women. That's just my opinion. But what do I know? I'm just an old fart.

Well, Mr miller, you've gone and done it now. You've invented yet another game. So far, name that tune has been played by posting a snippet of the lyrics. This is more like the pictionary games. I kinda like it. I can't post pictures yet but I think it is a pretty cool twist for name that tune. Now-----What to call it----"Pictionuney"? I think not. :)

Close enough for me. Friday on my mind-----------Easybeats I put the youtube on the *Music* thread yesterday if anyone would like to hear it------(post # 699)

James Gang----Walk Away

Pond I think I understand what you are getting at regarding talking to people about the past. For me, the hardest ones to talk to about any of this are family and in-laws who were never involved. I sometimes feel like , somewhere, in the back of their minds, they're waiting for a chance to say, "I told you so!" Of course, they never do but it's still kind of embarassing in a peculiar way. NY? I don't know a whole lot about Scientology. From what I have heard, they are also big on a version of the "Law" of believing. You've stirred my interest in how Scientology saved your life. Can you elaborate in the "My Story" thread?

I'm gonna have fun in the city I'll be with my girl, she's so pretty.

I read somewhere that, because of tight budgets and the high expense of video tape, shows were often erased and taped over. It's amazing that so much of the older material remains.

One from 1967

OK Just to clarify my latest post; when I said I "knew" every song on the first 3 SPIRIT albums, I surely didn't mean I knew how to PLAY them. I only meant that I knew them by regognition. If I thought I could actually play that stuff, I wouldn't have spirits in the garage, I'd have bats in the belfry.

Muddy Waters(1977)--Blow Wind Blow

Hmmm! Would that happen to be a POODLE? You HAVE been away from the threads awhile, haven't you? There are a couple of threads here that deal with the subject of poodles. I suggest you start at the begining of the "Mrs. Wierwille's Poodle" thread to really get the gist of the context. Good to see you on this special day, Smokey.

Frank123lol Why do you feel your post will be ignored? I think you packed a whole bunch of insight into 5 short lines.

Waitress> "How's the chicken?" Customer> "Great, tastes a bit like rattlesnake." Hey! Anybody old enough to remember that old Rosemary Clooney Song,"How Much Is That Poodle In The Stew Pot?"--?

Oh my. I hadn't heard those two songs since the "night owls" in Fellowlaborers. Oh, she sailed away on a sunny, sunny day--------------------- Had to edit that because, although most people know what "songs" are, few, if any, know what "sopngs" are.

Ha Ha Ha!! I was told the same thing about "Moonshadow". I had forgotten all about that. Here's the crazy thing. There's a line that goes" leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow." Doesn't it seem like Moonshadow should have been the one doing the leapin' and hoppin'? Just a thought.

I must confess, I have not read your book yet. Still, for someone to send you a CD rather that come right out and give your an opinion makes the person appear to have an agenda. I'm not saying they do. Maybe that's just the way they are. It kind of looks to me, though, that contradicting"The Doctor" may be the sore point in this scenario. If you are confident in what you wrote, I would give it the big "shrug". just my 2 cents.

I think I was "in The Word" all of 2 months when I first became a twig leader.(1972) Was I "spiritually mature"? HA! HA! HA! I had the 2 main qualifications----- a car that ran and an apartment big enough to hold fellowships. Nobody seemed to mind that my hair was down to my shoulders and I wore a big gold earing. They were a bit concerned about my choice of music at the time but didn't press the issue immediately. Nope, as long as people were signing that "green card" it was all good. How it went from there to here is a question that boggles the mind. And so, Mr. B, a guy with your kind of spunk probably would have made branch leader status or at least twig area coordinator in no time flat. Spiritually mature? Yeah. I knew just about every song on the first 3 "Spirit" albums ( "Spirit"= A hippy jazz group from California who were quite popular in the 1960s)

High school marching band. Wowzer! that sure was a long time ago. We had a huge marching band(110). That was nice because the "so-so" guys like me were able to hide somewhat. I marched trumpet and baritone. We did a new half-time show every week so we had to learn 10 new shows a year. Everything we did was "high-step" and formal, complete with flip turns. It kinda bugs me when I see a halftime show now and the whole band seems to drag their feet. Same thing with the majorette routines of the present day. I much prefer the the crisp, precise moves of the past. Our director was an alumnus of TBDBITL so we even did a version of "Script Ohio" using our town's name(five letters). We did that one to a piece named "Piccadily", not sure on the writer. It was a tough piece to march to so I sorta--ahem-- rewrote my part to bury some of the triple tongue stuff. Shhh! Don't blow my cover. And parades:BRRR!----Those white cotton dress gloves were definately not meant for long stints in parade formation.

Do the five day drag once more. Know of nothing else that bugs me More than working for the rich man. Hey, I'll change that scene one day. Clue: The rhythm guitarist/co-writer of this tune has two younger brothers who went on to become rock "icons" in their own right.

Shop Around------Smokey Robinson

And you see that as proof that the adversary is trying to stop you from moving the Word. SHEESH!!
