Bolshevik

I asked for about 5-10 years why I was not allowed to choose my religion. What was so special about twi? They'd hold a gun to your head if they could. One day I realized that God was dull, a renewed mind for eternity was not what I wanted, and heaven is something to fear. If there was any enjoyment of existence, it has to be taken in this life.

I'm trying to understand the mindset back then. That's one of the things people keep trying to relive.

Should I buy more? They're dirt cheap! They've gotta go up someday . . .

When you first heard "Power for Abundant Living", what were your intial thoughts/emotions/feelings/response? Looking over the green card, what thoughts went through your mind (if you can remember)? How did your thoughts/perceptions of PFAL change over time? Not necessarily in hindsight, but during those years following your first class, when you still believed the "teachings" of twi? What was your perception of PFAL, before and not long after taking the class?

Did vpw know he was dying? If so, at what point was that?

That's the stuff, bleh. :)

I was reading an article about the Sox's new Japanese pitcher . . . My wife caught me bowing repeatedly to the computer . . . I didn't even realize I was doing it . . . In a few weeks, you'll be able to smell that smell . . . maybe it's just hot dogs, I dunno.

Cognitive Dissonant!!! Damn, I forgot to say that . . .

This dog book helps make things make a little more sense. I brought this up, and people have heard of the book. Their first instinct is to defend Wierwille, of course. "He learned from others, yes we know blah blah blah . . ." :blink: jees!!! this isn't a discussion on plagiarism . .

Wouldn't it be putting lcm at the helm? vpw put the scamed in charge of the scam.

Was lcm deceived or just a propagator of it? Didn't he really believe in what he was doing?

how did things used to be? what do you mean? twi was simple for me, not complicated. Sit down, shut up, good boy. What new idea do you propose?

That type of thing has been proposed to the current BOD. It was struck down immediately.

Oh, Mister-P-Mosh, Was that an "inappropriate" comment?

Making the Majors. Family business, big family business. Wanting to live on a hill in a land far, far away . . .

"Goose Island Honker's Ale" from Chicago bleh

probably likewise, I'll know when the time comes I disagree I agree

Spoudazo, I will say, Jesus Christ, I know nothing about the guy. . . But can you tell me how many people he died between?

That's what The President said tonight. I have mixed feelings on it.

Please, your thoughts.

wouldn't lcm be included in this group (the idealistic youngster)? He fell for it all too, obeying with all he had, and was eventually set at the top? would he be a different person had he not run into twi? The adversary got dropkicked and shotput to the moon damned near everyday by god himself

there's a whole 'nother subject. They were thinking about the future I'm sure. They were thinking about the bema, the gathering, eternal rewards, beating up unbelievers in their new resurrected bodies. . . but that's a different subject. (sorry Tzaia, I guess we were thinking the same thing)

Would this girl want her kids to follow suit?

Wayfer child raising techniques come from a book on raising hunting dogs? I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious.

Where the Golgatha (poop demon) can be summoned?
