    Paula was never married to Gerald. You're thinking of the wrong Wren(n).
  2. Rocky
    The one spelling her last name Wren looks like it could be her. I don't remember what her husband looked like. But a couple of pics of both are public so you can check.

    Well... you did INVITE response. Random thoughts? You mean like... Ephesians 4:14? Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Oh, nevermind.

    I suspect that many/most GSCers feel likewise. Of course, I wish him no harm but am unconcerned about whether he's happy or not.

    Does anyone care?

    Kinda like another religion motivates its people with the promise of 70 virgins... or something like that.

    For the sake of discussion, let me ask, "still time for what?" What warning has been sounded? Is the madness continuing in TWI? Who are you to be throwing stones? Have you pondered why and at whom you are very angry and sad? Are the complexities of life ever resolved by invoking platitudes? Peace dude!

    And here I thought the age for legally consuming alcoholic beverages was determined by each state. But in 1984 (under Reagan), federal legislation was enacted that apparently allowed the federal government to withhold funding that would otherwise go to states if the particular state allowed drinking by persons under 21. State legislatures moan and complain when the federal government does things like that, but they usually comply, as it has been with this issue. I was 18 when I took technical training at Keesler AFB, MS in 1973-74. I clearly remember drinking Miller Beer (not Miller Lite) during that time. Of course, off base strip clubs in Biloxi were strictly and officially off limits to impressionable youngsters like me at that time.

    As well as deficiency in emotional maturity.

    Actually no, one of our fellow GSC members had one of Stowe's paintings that he wanted to figure out what the possible sale value might be so he could sell the one he had. That's the only reference on this site to any interest in Mr. Stowe.

    Which suggests that WW was reasonable to surmise that susieV's post was simply an advertisement.

    I'm friends with OE on FB. I'll message him to see if he has any insight on a possible connection.

    In 2009, GSC member Onion Eater started this thread in the Open forum. When I searched (DuckDuckGo) for EB Stowe, one of the results on the first page was a link to that thread in Open. That's probably where susieV learned about this website.
  15. Rocky
    I'm guessing that Mr Stowe didn't have any such connection.

    It would be selfish of me, Mike, to say we've missed you. If you don't have time to be involved here at GSC, so be it. However, two things. One is that Vic's words on his plagiarism HAVE been cited at GSC. Repeatedly. Two, that your source regarding your interpretation of BGL's relationship with Vic, and what BGL may have said to a sixth corpse clergy member is dubious at best. I highly doubt that you'll "verify" anything that was told to you by such a source. One of the characteristics of the cult of VPW was the prevalence of dubious narcissistic myths. Someone would start a conversation (rumor) and it would get passed along with ZERO critical analysis as if it was god's honest truth. Very quickly, it would become the unquestioned God-breathed Word. That's the social model your claim seems to fit. If it's not YOUR first hand observation, it's likely BS.

    Parental alienation is very real. I figure you've already discovered that and have read some on the issue. I went through it and it devastated me for all of my daughter's teen years. I am most thankful that when she turned 20 (and happened to be pregnant by the young man she eventually married), my daughter initiated reconciliation with me. I now have two wonderful grandchildren who I adore. Even though I know the pain such alienation causes, I'd be encouraged that your grandson still has affection for your son. This article spells out some of the issues. The last paragraph has crucial guidance. During the years I suffered great emotional pain, I was convinced my ex-wife did have borderline personality disorder. If she did, she seems to have grown out of it.

    That would seem to be the same BG Leonard.

    So, it's okay for YOU to do what you condemn as long as you weren't the first one?
  20. Rocky
    Of course you don't engage in name calling. You're a highly trained psychiatrist, right? Isn't that why you diagnosed mental illness in someone you claim to have never met? Shift this also said: "right on ! speak nicely ! dont call people names or put them down."

    Translated into English: I drank the kool-aid and I became addicted to it. Further, claims that the cult Wierwille founded teaches "rightly-divided word of GOD" are nothing more and nothing less than an illusion.

    Karl's doing well... living an adventurous life... trying to sorta reinvent himself as a comedy writer.

    No, that's not what I was getting at. The Mormon church is obsessed with taking care of the social and economic needs of its members... unlike TWI. Is that clear enough? Thanks for asking for clarification.
  24. Rocky
    I don't know about the swagger, but the video may hold some clues as to how or why the Mormon church is far more successful that the small time cult based in New Knoxville, OH. Not that I'm interested in the Mormons either.
  25. Rocky
    Very good point. I wonder how many of us understand what makes a successful alpha male?
