Happy birthday, you young whippersnapper! How much is a non rez hunting license up there? What can I hunt with my .50 Hawken (muzzelloader) or would I need a .70? I always wanted to hunt up there, but I find the cold very daunting.

The usual... Tomatoes (Roma and cherry), winter and summer squash, green peppers, jalapenos, cayenne, okra, cucumbers, beans, peas, beets, onions and tobacco. I used to plant a lot of potatoes and corn but since I've cut way back on eating starches, I no longer plant them. Herbs include rosemary, cilantro, stevia, thyme and cumin. Garlic grows wild here, which is why we've never had any vampires here in the Ozarks, so I don't mess with that.

Admittedly, the PFAL class got lots of people interested in the Bible and made it live for them. However, following the logic trail of PFAL, which I think VPW didn't plagiarize, but was his own invention and unique to him, that... Jesus Christ, seated at the right hand of God and on this earth is in absentia, ergo, no personal relationship with the Savior is necessary or even available, but rather a personal relationship to/with the self appointed 'man of God' via his chain of command ergo, We must follow the Man of God (to whom this light was given exclusively) who was placed in His 'stead' while He (Jesus) was too busy doing Jesus things (and, of course, dictating to the MOG how to direct our lives), And the name Jesus Christ reduced to a 'magic name' to be used to force God to be an errand boy for the MOG and his followers, ergo, to do the will of the MOG is to do the will of God. This IMHO was the ultimate (intentional) error and evil of PFAL and why it's wrong and dangerous. I generally stay out of this stuff because I was never Corps or anything special in TWI, but that's my take on it, and why it's no longer useful to me. All you Corps folks and people more involved than I are encouraged to tell me if my take is innacurate or wrong. I enjoyed Year2027's original concept.

I live in the rainsoaked Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and know of no TWI presence. There's probably 2 or 3 down in Little Rock, but that's, most likely, about it. TWI was pretty much unknown in these hills...hillbilly's have better sense than that. I just know of one other exWay person, and I've never met her or her family. She lives somewhere in the nether regions of the Arkansas flatlands. I just know of them because she posts here. You might write a letter to... The Teacher P.O. Box 328 New Knoxville, Ohio (I don't remember the zip code) Maybe they can help you out.

Buy a $25 ticket for a chance on a full auto Vector Arms Uzi submachine gun. They even pay the transfer tax. http://www.iawca.org/annualdrawing.htm You know you've always wanted one!

Hey shiftthis and all the other Simpering Sophist Sycophants of the Way, Is Rosie still there? Oh yeah? Well, bud...your assertion that "all the bad leaders were driven out" just crumbled to dust (to coin a new phrase no one here has ever heard before). Sorry bud, but it just don't wash.

WOW Garth! That's along the lines of something I'd say. It certainly reflects my thinking. Let's go have a beer....on me.

There's one significant difference, George. This time, there's no forced conscription i.e. draft. How long do you s'pose that's gonna last? Until that changes, at least the kids can enjoy it from a distance.

Although I always thought the Cocker Spaniel was one of the dumbest, I know from experience that the VERY dumbest dogs are the dogs that belong to me. Akela (aka Dogzilla), the half wolf half malamute mix, HAS to take the prize, tho. After a fun time playing in yesterdays record rainfall and swimming in the ensuing flood waters, he decided to fight with the tree that was cut down by the high winds....in the lightning, of course. What a dog!

I remember Britt Lynn. I seem to recall him as a man of integrity who I respected and liked very much. I also remember when he was summarily fired and replaced by Paul M. as LC of Texas.

For Dennis Prager (whoever he is) to make such a blanket statement leads me to think he's pretty self absorbed and narcissistic to presume such a thing. I think maybe Dennis Prager (whoever he is) is someone to avoid in ones daily listening regimen.

So you say you have this...uh... problem. You don't know what to do and you're too embarrassed to talk to anyone. Well, don't despair. Just click on the link below! At Last!! Relief!!

In the mid 80's, or so, when still in Florida, I overheard someone saying that WOW originally stood for "Weirwille Owens Weirwille"...as in "the Wierwille Owens Weirwille program" or "ambassadors for wierwille Owens Weirwille" etc. I have no idea how true that might be, I don't know anything about Harry W. or Owens....they passed on long before I came along, but I heard it again a couple of years later in Texas from a different source. I haven't even thought about it in years and years, but this thread reminded me. Could there be any validity to that? If so, does it mean anything? It seemed like it was intended to be "top secret info" not for the unwashed masses. Anyway, what difference would it make? Just curious. Edited to mention that little stuff like that occasionally trickling in caused me to maintain a healthy cynicism throughout my entire tenure with TWI.

First time in 1987 in Universal City, Texas... T. W*ll*nb*rg: G'nite, Ron. See you next week! Ron: Oh, you're going to the Sports Page Lounge next Tuesday to watch me play darts? (I'd decided I'd had enough and was done with it and joined the local darts team) T.W.: Huh? Ron: Never mind....bye. T.W.: Bye Second time 1996 in Oxley, Arkansas (on the phone from Little Rock)... M*nte H*bb*s, Arkansas LC: I understand from Rev. Pl*t*g that you have problems with obeying and you left California without his permission. Ron: Yeah.....and? (HP and I had that conversation earlier and it was kind of unpleasant as I reminded him that I was 47 years old and could and would do as I damn well pleased as long as it didn't violate any state, local or federal laws or regulations and punctuated the conversation with the same thing Bride of JC said in her post on this thread) MH: I need you to take the Way Magazine and read every article faithfully and subscribe to the SNS tapes and listen to them faithfully while working the collaterals, the PFAL book and Rev. Martindale's "Rise and Expansion" book over the next six months and move down here to Little Rock where you can be near people and move the word. Ron: Yeah.....and? MH: Then call me and we'll discuss you coming back. Ron: gotcha....bye. MH: Bye Six months later, I was still living here and had done nothing of what I'd been told. MH, however, had gone in residence in a federal penitentiary and so I figured since he was probably only allowed one phone call, I'd spare him the trouble of it being wasted on me. See how nice I am?

Yeah, a model can show anything and make it appear desirable or believable. That's what models do. Just be very careful when you tell them they can keep what they're showing.

That's a great story Rottiegrrl, but like you said, it's been around for a while. The reason is, it's based on a TRUE story. In actuality it wasn't a guy named Sulio. It was Pete Sanchez from Idalou, Texas. As everyone knows, Pete Sanchez from Idalou, Texas ALWAYS wore an very old and beat up cowboy hat. It was his trademark. When in the courtyard at the Vatican, Pete's boss kept asking everyone who that was on the balcony, as he was so far away, he couldn't see well. Finally, one spectator who understood Pete's boss' English replied, "I don't know WHO that guy with the funny hat is, but the one standing next to him is Pete Sanchez from Idalou, Texas." But then you probably know Pete Sanchez from Idalou, Texas...everyone does.

Agreed. I was brought into the Way by a WOW twig that made such a profound impression that we subsequently went WOW in '81. Most I knew were most assuredly the real deal. I remember going to ROA that following year and seeing ol' VP struttin' around in his WOW vet regalia and wondering silently to myself "When did he ever do this shi t?" Of course, I would never DARE voice such heresy aloud, at that time (and probably still shouldn't), as the common perception was that he did it every day of his life 24/7 and we WOW's were mere shadows compared to his great superhuman feats of spiritual derring do.

Believe it or not, the scientists are now saying we are facing global cooling. I kid you not. I first saw this in the international press about a month ago. Naturally, the US press didn't cover it much. I remember in the article from last month that it said that the scientists are now admitting "that the planet might be more resilient than they first thought." In fact, for the last 7 years, the earth has been cooling. Combine that with the relatively recent discovery that the lead scientist at NASA who provides most of the fodder for the global warming nuts has been secretly funded by George Soros and all of a sudden, there appears to be a small conspiracy going on with a hoard of lemmings unknowingly supporting it. Just google "global cooling" and you'll get a number of articles. Here's one on weather.com. http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_15153.html and an article from Investors Business Daily http://ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=287279412587175 I'm not saying that it is time to stock up on winter coats but it will be interesting to see how long the US press will bury this story.

After listening to RD's podcast, seeing the comment about being "out of fellowship" in another thread and now this...I may not sleep for a week. It's like deja vu all over again (as ol' Yogi Berra used to say). I think there's probably at least a hundred little websites like this one run by old denial ridden exway folks. I seem to run across one every time I try to google somebody I once knew. I'm not sure it'll ever end. I was in the chatroom a while back and someone mentioned the number of myspace users who revere the memory of the good doctor...mostly kids and twentysomethings. I went and looked and, sure enough, there they were. It's truly scarey. I used to say the main thing I learned in TWI was to never trust a preacher with a boner. Now I have to add to that, never underestimate one, either.

GAWD dmiller...I haven't heard or even THOUGHT that expression in well over a decade. I'm gonna have nightmares, now.

Thanks Paw and Ralph. This is a very articulate rendering of what happened. It's quite a contrast to the "Galatian's tapes" (I think that's what they were called...not sure now) that LCM spewed forth about 17 or so years ago and is well timed and very appropriate for bringing closure and healing to a lot of folks. Kudos to you both!

I think we may have found a solution to your yard problem. Just hire someone to clean up the yard, then borrow or rent a roto tiller and make a garden. You'll save LOTS on groceries in the long run and you'll get much higher quality produce. Of course you'll still have to provide your own bags, boxes and containers. It works for me.
