excathedra

if i could re-do his tombstone from "i wish i was dah dah dah" TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT BEING ALIVE. geer, you listening ? any of you other offshoots? anyone with a brain ?

oenie !!!! i love you, how have you been ? i know i have to catch up and that your son is the most awesome person - - - - unscriptural conduct does not negate scriptural truth i don't know but that sounds like howdy doody time or twilight zone or some world where i don't live -- or want to live

you take care

thank you so much, you're a peach but really, i'm just older now and realize how screwed up i was but he was way worse ha ! and i have to stop feeling shame because that's silly, stupid, wrong, and on and on and on but sometimes your head is so -- i don't know -- from when you were little and growing up and all that

'tis a shame

snort good snort, geisha

I have to go back and read a whole lot more, but just want to post while I'm thinking of certain things. The "compartment thinking" is very interesting to me especially since I think I was a master! Geisha, wow, that was great. Peddling the Word is a fine description. What you said about causing one to stumble really touched my heart more than you can ever realize. Don, I copied something I loved from your opening post: "The Court finds that an important distinction exists between belief and conduct. The beliefs espoused by The Way, and its members, are not subject to review by this Court. The conduct of The Way, and its members, is subject to reasonable regulation designed to protect a compelling state interest. The First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution cannot be used to protect The Way, or its members, against legislation for the punishment of acts inimical to the peace, good order and morals of society." Excellent. Thank you, Court. I'll have to keep reading the posts on here.

Dear JJ, I thank God for family!!! I'm with you. The Way, trying to remember categories -- the Household (the Household of standing believers) the Household within the Household (like the maybe way corps) the Family (I would think saved people NOT standing, not faithful) Earthly Family (ppffttt) Believers (I guess believing Believers) Unbelieving Believers Body and Soul Man (aka Natural Man) Seed (you know the bad kind, seed boy or girl) Still thinking Angels should have gotten more credit -- And of course Unrenewed mind Wordly Copped out Tripped out Greasespot I'm sure there are a million more, just gave some of my faves

Awww thanks so much each and every one of you. I was born on June 23, 1956 at 3:08 a.m. -- I felt kind of crappy this week, not because of my birthday, but because i caught some kind of a bug. I also started this new part-time job and I think I'm stressing/obsessing because I'm trying to do so good. What else? It's Herbie's birthday same as mine, where is he???? I love him a lot and am always honored to share my birthday with him. I've been on "here", so to speak, since waydale opened its door at the beginning. It may have been 1999! So I always treasure the internet because of all this and all you. I miss old cyberfriends and am thankful for the new. I have a song to give you for my birthday. God knows why I'm thinking of this today, but this was my high school sweetheart and my song. I give it to you-- http://youtube.com/watch?v=Owm5rEEB_YA There. My birthday sharing. I will now hand the mic back to the head table. Mwah !!!!!!!

again, i wasn't trying to diminish foolagain's feelings i was trying to make a point, that she was not anymore special in the way hierachy my apologies

"I was so young, you should have known"

thank you don'tworrybehappy did all you hypocrites get that ? i seriously doubt it

I was favored until I played possum in the back of the motorcoach. Damn, who knows, I could have been ordained.... - - - "Possums are famous for "playing dead" when threatened, but this isn't quite accurate. They are not 'playing' dead at all: the possum goes into shock when particularly stressed."

that was my point before

Is today is his birthday? lol Wonder what will happen if I start a similar thread about the vicksterdang ? Not to take away from this one....

happy birthday even though i'm mad at you right now

How are you, Seth?

oh for godssake, oak, i wish you knew me by now the point of "who cares" means that she isn't something more "special" than anyone else in The Way Tree kind of way -- i guess i'll always irritate you

i think one reason sometimes it's hard to talk about what happened to you (me) is that you have no scripture to back it up -- that was a "funny" i honestly thought that you, white dove, and you, oldies, would take the higher road and leave this one thread alone that's why i reacted and said what i did do you, white dove i just can't argue logic and/or scripture when it comes to the deepest hurts/betrayals experienced in life and i do believe life is something we all experience -- and i have no scripture to back that up -- do i ? well maybe that one about there is nothing new under the sun....

whitedove, i don't think you should add your 2 cents here, i mean it unless of course you have no sense or respect

who cares

okay, moderators please delete this post whitedove, you're a piece of work please stop it

Sushi, I'm listening to it again and really loving it -- By the way, I just want to make a general comment, to no one.... I don't care about his young life or his history Knowing him was enough for me Love,ex Hope you know what I mean

I have to wonder about any group that broke away from TWI.
