You're over 30 and you're still framing posters! <_<

George - I'm sure he does. And he probably has a white jacket with wrap around sleeves to match.

My favorite quote from that article about him: Sounds like he's still on staff...

I wanna know why it always takes people 30-40 years to get their $h!+ together for a seminar...?

(slightly...) We always tell our oldest when he askes that age-old question: "What's for supper?" Deep-fried dung beetles with cheese sauce. To which, he replies, "I don't want deep dung fried beetles!" (and of course his little malaprop is as funny the 60th time as it was the first!)

For the record, RFR was a big behind-the-scenes player in much of LCM's ministry - including the "homo-hunt". She had always had the Presidents' ear (yes, president is meant to be plural there.) She had more ways and means for getting rid of people who got in her way than you could possibly imagine. There's been many accounts here on GSC about this and I can attest to some personal dealings with her that I've been told about by others. She is ruthless and calculating - she knows how to go for blood. As someone who's life was turned upside down in a matter of hours due to the policy they practiced on some but not all with the homo hunt, I can tell you that it is - to this day - hypocrisy at it's finest. My ex-husband was kicked out for his "thinking" - not anything more - certainly nothing to the extent of what these people have done or appear to have done. For the record, RFR had two women living in her basement who shared a bed - not just a bedroom and had exchanged rings during a key year (like a tenth anniversary) that they knew each other. I've had a couple of my closest friends now for over thirty years - I've NEVER exchanged rings with any of them, thankyouverymuch. RFR vacations with DM exclusively. They share a bedroom with one bed in it. These are key examples - I'm sure you, if you take the time to weed through some of these threads around here, will find more posted by some key players who were *there* and have firsthand accounts. C'mon people! Do the math! Anyone else who practiced something like this would have gotten the boot YEARS ago just for being a homo-sympathizer - never mind being suspected of the actual practice. What's the verse about "give no appearance of evil" ? DM and RFR, and some of their "buddies" certainly don't give the impression of being straight - especially with some of the practices they're known for. But would anyone ever confront them on this? NO WAY - you wouldn't go to Henry The XIII to tell him not to divorce his wife, would you? RFR would have YOUR head on the chopping block so quickly.... This thread is very relevant - this practice is still used by TWI and yet the highest level of leadership even gives the appearance of being homosexual in her private life and housed a couple who were, without a doubt, practicing it in their own lives. I don't see it as a homophobic thread - I have seen no posts where people make sweeping statements slandering the general population of lesbians and gay men - read the thread. Personally, I don't care what someone does in their bedroom - I DO care when they have a say in my life about what happens in my life and then practice just the OPPOSITE. Then, it's my business - you bet! By the way, I also liked the original title better. The definition varies, if you look it up, the more modern definition of the word includes women who have sex not just with women, but would include men. A woman who has sex with women, exclusively, is a lesbian. The word dyke used to be used in a medical (anatomical) sense to talk about the vulva. If you prefer, we could call them "lipstick lesbians" - is that less offensive? I could break out the George Carlin dictionary of slang for you, if you wish...

I remember there were a couple of gals in my area who were on their WOW Vet/Apprentice WC year who were sharing a bedroom and had bunk beds in the room. One night, the gal on the bottom bunk had a dream and in her dream (and in reality) she pressed her feet on the bunkyboard above her. She did it with such force that it caused the board to come out of the brackets and the gal above her nearly fell off the top bunk. I guess one of them hurt their ankle or something - I know there was an injury from it. When the TC/BC they were living with found out about it, he roasted the gal who had the bottom bunk - had to know what she was dreaming about, etc. As it turned out, the dream was.... uh... let's just say an "adult" dream. Well, he went PURPLE screaming about it. The whole twig found out about it - he ran his mouth for days about it and even threatened to pull her from the WC program for it. She had to be embarassed to the hilt for it - I can't imagine if that was me.... good grief!

I LOVE coffee, but....

Shrek the Third is, as you've guessed, the third movie of the Disney/Dreamworks series on Shrek. It was just released this weekend, I believe, and is riding the coattails of the previous Shrek movies. This one has more than the usual household names giving voice to the cartoon charaters - even Justin Timberlake is in on this one. But it doesn't make up for the fact that the storyline is more cliche than ever, if not tired this time around. It was amusing and entertaining but did tend to drag in places and there was some pointlessness to some of the characters that were introduced, like Merlin. There were pleanty of "adult" jokes - the kind of thing you needed to live some life before you'd understand the funny behind it, but overall it's not the best of the three Shrek movies. There were also some suprises in the soundtrack which made it interesting - who would have thought they'd hear Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song" in a Disney movie? It's probably with the cost of admission - especially if it's a matinee. But don't expect a lot of bang for your buck.

(I still can't believe no one got the D&D reference I made earlier...) (are there no geeks in this forum??)

Please tell me the story you MUST have behind this one... :)

The sad thing is that the couple (the parents) checked references - they did their homework.... :( We've been really really blessed to have some wonderful daycare providers for our boys but it only takes ONE person like this to give them all a bad name/reputation. I hope this woman gets similar treatment in prison - they won't be kind to her, to say the least.

I FOUND COCO! She ran away and joined the circus!

After dealing with plagues of gypsy moth caterpillars here - to the extent where they had caused car accidents because there were so many of them in the road that it was like driving on ice... I don't get how you "love" these bugs... seems like an Alfred Hitchcock thing to me...

I love the dating one - OMG - rich!

You are a charismatic or pentecostal believer. You believe in the primacy of spiritual gifts and the importance of renewal of the body of Christ. You are likely to be suspicious of or even hostile to older non-charismatic churches and revival is high on your list of priorities. You are a firm believer that God's Spirit is as active today as in biblical times and you are likely to devote less time to academic study of the Bible and theology. Charismatic/Pentecostal 71% Classical Liberal 68% Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 68% Emergent/Postmodern 61% Reformed Evangelical 54% Fundamentalist 54% Modern Liberal 50% Neo orthodox 46% Roman Catholic 36%

Not only have you strung chairs - you've strung RESIN CHAIRS!

I came up with: Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order. --excerpted from the Player’s Handbook, Chapter 6

OMG - I remember the day that pic was posted - what a scream! HA! Dang, I miss LarryP.... WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!?!?!

Why? There was no contestant named "Chad"...

** SPOLIER ** (for those of you who haven't watched yet tonight - DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW....) I CAN'T BELIEVE MELINDA GOT THE BOOT TONIGHT! Why bother watching the finals after this? What a farce!!

AND - you've tried all the spin-off cults from it!

You always correct people about Catholics.... "They're ROMAN Catholic...."

Make sure those water wings are aired up, eh?

Dang, another good one - and so obvious, too. Geez... Why is it so hard to think of these things when you're working on a project but then when you're done... well, there they are! I'm going to be doing this project again at the end of the t-ball season, so keep 'em coming and I'll have ideas for the next few years!
