  1. Now that I think of it, I don't think the S-word is even used on FOX. This might be a Showtime series. I have no idea. George
  2. I was hoping that someone would (incorrectly) guess Linda Ronstadt as the artist. Her cover had somewhat different lyrics, obviously! :) George
  3. He's about 18. Since he was planning to go to Ohio from Houston, I don't think that distance (at least within the continental US) is a problem. He's just looking for a chance to grow spiritually before (I assume) college. What's the name of the camp? George
  4. Since no one has guessed, I would say, yes. George
  5. "You are the butter to my bread, you are the breath to my life." "I have to murder and dismember a crustacean." George
  6. When I find a new girl that I want for mine. She always breaks my heart in two,it happens every time. George
  7. A young man in my fellowship has shown interest in doing a S.O.W.E.R.S. stint. I have no personal acquaintance with the program, though there has been enough press here at Greasespot that I cautioned him against it. Our local leader couldn't advise him one way or the other, because he didn't have enough information. The young man asked me if I knew of any alternatives. There have been a few people from our area who have gone to Idaho for D@N@ Armstrong's program, and were happy with it. Are there any other programs out there that I could recommend? Obviously, they don't have to be TWI-derived (in fact, it's probably better if they aren't); but something with a strong Trinitarian bent won't work either. Any ideas? George
  8. "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." Aretha Franklin George
  9. Sounds like a FOX cartoon. "Family Guy"? George
  10. Well put, Gen-2. Paul,in the context of giving and receiving, pointed out that he knew how to be abased AND to abound. I think that TWI's leadership (and that of many other churches, make no mistake about that) have decided that only the abounding part is worthwhile; and, by God, it's the laity's responsibility to make that happen! George
  11. "More wolfbane, Doctor?" "Stronger than wolfbane, Count!" "Ahhh!!" George
  12. Actually, LCM had begun the de-Wierwilleization of TWI, and that was before any significant outside knowledge of VPW's sins came to light. I just think it's easier for Rosie to cement her own power, given that LCM's foibles are well-known. George
  13. I actually did quite well on the test. (Human, at least when I took the AC, there was a test you had to take before registering. It tested your understanding indoctrination in areas of PFAL and other classes. Your response seems to indicate that the test was done away with in later years.) It's funny, actually, because I purposely "threw" some answers about the Trinity. I knew what answer was "correct," but I wasn't certain in my own mind at that time. As I understand it, "Jesus Christ Is not God" was a weak spot for MANY applicants that year ('79), which is why VPW hit the subject so hard in that AC. George
  14. I was thinking of that movie, too. I just couldn't remember the title. George
  15. Obviously a fairly new show, but not one I've seen. George
  16. What's more important than Way-bashing? I spend a lot of time in the game threads in the Greasespot Gallery and Reading Room. If you're thick-skinned, try Politics 'n Tacks. Oh, and when I left, I thought it was just a problem with megalomaniacal leaders. All the scandal stuff I learned about later. George
  17. "Crying? There's no crying in baseball!!" George
  18. You got kicked out by the BOD? I'm impressed! With me, it was just my Branch Coordinator (with the Limb Coordinator on the phone). George
  19. Indeed it is. Although this past season was supposed to be the last, it will be back next fall by popular demand. George
