I'm for putting the mom in a dryer and turning it on. Say five minates a day for the rest to her life. Lets let the punishment fit the crime.

I originally came here to find old friends. I stay because I like this bunch of twisted people.

Eyewitnesses:twi from 1966-1975..your stories?
ex70sHouston replied to WordWolf's topic in About The Way
Reading the responses I want to add a little. In Houston we were told which twig to go to. I moved from one side of town to another and was informed where I should go. I was also chastized a little for dating girls outside twi. When WOW's came in we were told not to date, not to go to their twigs, basicly don't talk with them unless we saw them at a branch meeting. It was almost keep away at the brach meetings. When a class was run you best show up at each session or have a reason. -

I think I know what your fishing for. I jioned in 75. THings were great and everybody loved everybody. In Houston there was only one person from the corp. It took a couple of years before I understood and liked her. There wasn't any real power strugle or hq only things that I saw. The ROA was great and everyone shared. The basic concept was bible study, holding the class, and taking classes. NO PROBLEMS. They started for me in 78. -
Don't squat with yer spurs on. There's two theories to arguin with a woman. Neither one works. Don't worry about bitin off more than you can chew. Your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin somebody else's dog around. Never smack a man who's chewin tobacco. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. Always drink upstream from the herd. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. When you throw you weight around, be ready to have it through around by someone else. Lettin the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin it back in the bag. Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Never kick a fresh cow chip on a hot day.

After being in self-imposed poverty for 19 years(being self employed) I have only one sugjestion. WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. When evrything works its great. These are some of the pit falls. Customers who don't pay. Customers who file backrupsey. Employees who steal. Employees who go into bussiness for themselves and start with your customer list. The IRS. The IRS. O' did I mention the IRS Employees who forget to work. Employees who don't care. Changing markets. Stay on top of this. What sells one year may not the next. Weather. It does affect biz. Figure the cost of a vacation as double. It took my secratery once the time it takes to fly from San Antonio Tx to Atlanta to cost me $40000 in sales. Find a good company with benifits and go to work for them. Its safer and you sleep better. Theres nothing like waking up in the morning and thinkong about what someone else did that just cost you $20000.

You know your not from Florida when you cousin calls and tells you that their Florida room blew off and is now across the street. They finally explained what a Florida room is.

It just hit me like a ton of bricks. THirty years ago I graduated from the class. I even have the proof. A girl named Sharon made a sunset picture into a graduation vertificate. Its just dated November 1975. Now I feel old. So the puzzling question is why does TWI still play in my head?

Ok hear are a few more notes for you furiners(yawl that arnt from TEJAS). Beans do not belong in chili. Tea comes in a glass with ice. Sweet tea is not from here. We ad our own sweetner. The lease means where we hunt. THose small bodies of water you see in a pasture are "tanks". If you call them a pond we know you dont belong. High school football rulls. I have season tickets. It takes years of waiting before you get the good seats. As a side note we made the playoffs the 10th year in a row. $60,000 for a car is nothing. A crew cab one ton dually 4X4 with a deisel can easily run that. Mainly off the road. If you dont have a deer rifle, shotgun, and a pistol you dont understand

Don't judge a book by its cover. I have been a member of a small urban church. I was a member of TWI. I was a member of a large urban church. I was a member of a medium size suburban church. I was a member of a large for the town church. I was a member of a mission from that church. I am now a member of a large for the town church. Differant than above. Every church is differant. Some teach and preach the word of God to spread the kingdom. Some are great social gathering places to spread themselves. Some are just dead. One church was on fire for God. The church never seem'd to grow because it was always sending out members. Church averaged 60 a week. I can think of 4 men who have their own churchs now. One church who brough in tons of money but managed to give it all to less fortunate people and churchs. There is a church for everyone. Economics, race, social standing, politics all play into what church a person likes. My thought and what I've done is find a local church where God is present and working. Then I take off the coat, roll up the sleeves and get busy. Don't look at the green grass. That just means money is spent on the lawn. Look where they spend the money and that is where their heart is. Funny it works the same way with us.

I want you to know I've never shot any one in my yard. I almost shot my wifes step brother standing at our front door. But thats not in the yard. (This realy doesn't count anyway because she was telling me to shot) Besides my aim is real good. I came in second in my division at the shot last week end. Would have been first but I hurried one shot.

Maybe I'm getting older but. Blow jobs and masages are good but they don't make the day. A great day is where I get up and someone else makes the coffee and breakfast. Work all day without problems and get some things accomplished where I feel good about the day. A nice lunch where the conversation is about anything but whats wrong with their realationship. A nice quiet evening where I dont fix the meal and there is somthing worth watching on TV. The best thing about the day would be no bitching and complaining from wife or kids. What can I say. I'm easy to please. Just keep your mouth shut and leave me alone.

Belle will you move to Texas and marry me. You can even bring the dog so long as it doesn't sleep in my bed or vise versa.

What I look for in women is a lack of ugly. Outer beauty fades but the inner beauty stays. A beautiful woman on the inside stays a beautiful woman. When it gets down to it I have seen some ugly women.

Way back whenI took the class in 75 I was a young, impressionable, seeking person. I found a group that believed in God and was really worshipping HIm. I grew up in a dead church. I found a group where you were greeted with a kiss and loved. I found a group where I met a lot of friends. It took a while before the truths came out. The friends are what made it hard to leave. Its one of the few times I have left all my friends and support group and moved on.

No one left for just one reason. At the time what bothered me was some of the doctrine. I could have lived with that and believed my own way. Thats the way I am now. My beliefs are a little differant than the church I attend. The thing that bugged me the most when I think about it was the fact that you had no choice.They tried to run your life. Things where they controled (well tried to control) me. No choice in what twig I went to. Don't date outside of da way Don't date any of the WOWs. I never figured this out. Don't miss a fellowship. You would get a call. Always give a ride to the less fortunate believers. How many smelly people to I have to haul around. Let believers stay with you. Never again. I set towels out for the guy. After three days I ask if he ever bathed. Why didn't you take her out again? Why don't you call up so in so? Pick up this stuff and take it to the class. Take everything back after the class. I lived to close to the AC and had a pickup. I think I had the AC's apartment key for a while. Hell I think I want to jion again so I can leave again and this time make a big fuss. Thinking about it now I almost want to call a certin corp person up and ask her exactly who I should have married.

Here's something for you to thing about. How famous do you have to be to be asassinated and not just murdered?
-
NotinKansas The way I figure it were all related if you go back far enough. The best way of figuring is that we be both from the great state of TEXAS. Its more than a state of mind.

In my vast learned experience he should have looked at there mothers. Yes there mothers. What there moms look like now is a good idea what they will look like in 20 years. Lets face it. We all marry beautiful women. Its just scary what they look like in 20 & 30 years later.

I hate to say this but there is no handbook on how to handle siblings. My sister and I just call each other every once and a while. Well almost. I just found out yesterday that my neice got married again in June. She only gave my sis 2 days notice. Now my spousal units family is a differant story. She has two brothers, a step brother, and a step aunt and uncle that are all younger than her. All raised pretty mnch as a family. Its just who is mad a whom and how long the fight will last. One brother is off drugs and normal again. The anut is a truck driver and back to being semi normal. The other brother is great when he takes his meds. The step bro is the best(except when hes drinking). So if you can figure a system out that works for comunication you can make a billion bucks. Ok I'll trade the wifes family for yours. Anybody come near mine and their in trouble.
