The pic says Andromeda, so I guess that's either a tv show or a character's name, although I have no clue...is it within the rules to look up Andromeda in Google, or is that a no no?

Word.

For a man to be so prideful in that he won't even intervene when others attempt to destroy his marriage and rip apart his wife by using a christian "manifestation" which he introduced to the congregation, labeled godly, and spearheaded the congregation's complete immersion in, he has to be one solidly blinded, prideful, convinced he's right, and everyone else is wrong, kind of guy. A long time ago, we shared a similar birth and upbringing in a backwater religion...where we are now is two different places...he still has one foot in that old hell hole while he continues to go down that same path, but hasn't put the work in to really examine what he came from. He would do that if he was genuine....I, on the other hand, will never go back to that place.

You got it, go George!

More.... They're starting to die on us. Oh my god. Well at least you weren't stood up. 35 and they're dying. We should just give up now. Well, on the bright side, this could explain why they don't call back. Hmm. How did he... ? Heart attack. Oh. At the gym. See, this is why I don't work out

Brushstroke, it is important to find out her motivation for partying like this, as Socks said, she may be acting out on her own, outside of her beliefs. On the other hand twi is infamous for teaching one thing and really having an undercurrent of practice which is quite the opposite, a culture within the biblical teachings where everyone gets a "pass" for their actions no matter how bad they are. There is quite an elitist attitude wherein everyone is so righteous that they can do whatever they want because all it takes is an "I'm sorry" to God for broken fellowship and everything is back to normal again. There was a whole subculture where partying, binge drinking, and casual sex, was acceptable. There is an attitude that twi has the market cornered on truth, no other organization is up to par, that they are better than anyone else in the world, which also feeds into the attitude that there is no accountability. They are taught there's in no condemnation (in Christ), which also translates into do what ever you want, the penalties are low. In contrast, the leaders use the scriptures politically as a club to impose order and to elimanate members that don't measure up. TWI is a unconventionally weird conglomeration of doctrine vs practice.

“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?” “Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

Thanks G, please, you take the stab at it, I'm just helping with the clues.

It kinda reminds me of 80's hair band lyrics, but I can't put my finger on it, I'm stumped too.

That's Billy Holidays

Incredibly selfish and ignorant parenting, reminds me of twi.

Amen to that, I feel the same way, hopefully we all can find peace in the now, and are not haunted by what we were, what was, and what could have been.

Scary Movie 4?

Gilligan's Island?

Ding* Yessiree George, that is right. Those were sunbaked summer time grass covered hills in Ca, guess it didn't translate too well by the pic, seemed obvious to me, will pick better next time.

I can't believe how we willingly gave so much creedence to what vpw said, considering his real motives and predilections. Here's the front page of Cnn's special programs, including Escape from Jonestown, many links, videos, testimonies, audio tapes, FBI docs and transcript links. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/presents/

Linda, exactly, I regard Wiki the same as you do-unreliable to a certain extent, content often "donated" by its readers, the same with the abundanthope webpage regarding the CIA contributions. The Wiki page's information about Rosalyn and Jimmy Carter's involvement is accurate and corroberated by news sources, including the Cnn's "Escape from Jonestown" broadcast last week. The abundanthope.net website is particularily on shakey ground which seem to be fertile ground for these conspiracy theories. Their instability and outlandishness give more substanciation to their claims being false rather than their theories being the truth. I put that last link up there as a representation of what vpw heralded as the real facts behind Jonestown. Unless I see rock hard evidence that gives creedence to the conspiracy theorems, then I'm going to put them and vpw's rantings in the same circular file and chalk it up to paranoic Drambuei dreams.
