In that case, they had better leave out the majority of those coming to fellowship anyway, including all the Way Corpse, because, with the exception of the BOD, pert near all of them are living around the poverty level of income, ... right?

Dumbest thing LCM has ever said? Like there was ever a time when he said something *smart*? -->

Telling people that unless they take TWI's droning classes, give MUCHO $$$$, and put up with enraged spittle spraying from Neo-nazi leadership, ... they won't be able to live that More Than Abundant Life. :P--> :D-->

Zix, How P4 compatible/capable is the Athlon 2600XP anyway? I heard from one guy that a 2.1 ghz 2600XP is comparable to a 2.6 ghz Pentium 4; or is that a lot of hyperbole? Thanks for the info!

Fine! YOU get Photoshop and re-edit it! ((hhhhmmpphhh)) :P-->

Hhmmmm, either the mysterious THE hath interceded on my behalf, or my images are now showing for some other unknown reason. Oh well, enjoy anyway! :)-->

Wasway, Let us not forget THE sequels to the Lord of the Peeps flick: :D--> (P.S. These links should work)

Zix, I have an Athlon 2600XP based system w/ 512Meg. I take it what you said applies to my system as well? Also, does the 2600XP support hyperthreading? Thanks!

Ick! Looks like Subways or Boar's Head subs won't be getting much competition if that is the kind of commmercial Quiznos uses. :P-->

Excellent post, Dot! :)--> The main characteristic which strengthens your argument is that Oldies will *never* allow himself to stray from whitewashing his teacher's reputation. Oh he might say that VPW has 'sinned' or even committed adultery. But it is always encased in the "Well, everybody sins" category. Always. And with, as you noted, the associated blame on the victim, usually as much as possible to alleviate any real blame upon his 'Father in the Word'. And for what? Any real good reputation and legacy accorded to Wierwille in the minds of those who were affected by his 'ministry', is either dying, or is already dead. Suffice it to say that Wierwille will NOT go down in history as a great man, ... except in the minds of the 2 or 3 who desperately cling to his memory. Sad and wasteful, isn't it? :(-->

Great quote, Excathedra! :)--> Definitely a keeper! Thanks!

... especially the beer snow-cone. Except you'll feel quite a bit happier after eating that one. ... and you won't have this iritating desire to bahave like a freekin' *troll*. :D-->

Wow! So I take it you aren't too big a fan of VeePee's, eh? :D--> Anywho, I remember that day as getting a call from a Corps girl letting me in on the news to give to my Way Home leader, and I remember that I too, didn't feel much of anything about it, and that it kinda surprised me too. Like I was supposed to go **bawling** or something like that at The Man of Gawd's death? But emotionally, ... hardly ziltch! I faded out from TWI shortly thereafter. I'm gonna **burn in hell** for that, aren't I? :D-->

(It took NOW! :D-->) I would like to remind Oldiesman that this constant and blind defense of VPW could have a very real possibility of having Oldies wind up looking like this: :D-->

(Never mind. Tried to post an humourous image, but it didn't take) :(--> P.S., *I HATE TRIPOD*!!! Because it won't let me link directly to an image on my space there.

Well, you could tilt your monitor to the side a little bit, ... and there ya go, italics. :D-->

Don't mind Roy. folks. He's just going through a Momentus moment. -->

:D-->

excathedra, Just curious. What is a 'gaylord'?

Oldies, (damn, I can be a pain in the a**, can't I? ;)-->) Sunesis is full of crap eh? As in not one word of truth about VPW being a nazi-sympathetic Jew-despising bigot? Got more bad news for ya pal. I also saw "Myth of the Six Million" sold right in the Way Bookstore back at the Rock of '75. "The Thirteenth Tribe" was also a big seller. Face it. You aren't going to make all this anti-VPW info go away. And the more you desperately try to ressurect his already **trashed** reputation, the worse it will make you look. And there is no godly or logical reason for you to keep holding on to VPW like he was some 'security blankey'.

Raf, I think that its in VPW's Extended Expanded According to (mis)Usage Version of the King James Bible. You ought to be able to tell where it is. The words of the account are in italics. :D-->

In this particular case, I think 'plague' is a more apt description. -->

*Finally*, Oldies, in gleeful desperation, snatches that quote that he got from Zixar (who most likely is *kicking* himself about now ;)-->), emblazes it in gold, and holds it up for all the world to see, thinking that he has finally found a solid basis of defense of his 'Father in the Word' against his negative railers and detractors. ... Unfortunately, it was only to be an illusion. ... Or should I say, delusion.

Brilliant quote, Zix, just *brilliant*! Wouldn't you agree, Oldies? ;)--> :D-->

(Initially posted as a private post, but I think ought to be shown here) Maybe its me, but I keep getting this image of the good ship Wierwille sinking ala TWItanic, and Oldies and Johniam trying desperately to bail out the water using pint sized buckets saying, "But its a good ship! I *know* it is!! We had so much **fun** on this ship!", while the rest of the exTWIers have gone their different ways in their lifeboats so long ago. Meanwhile Smikeol is blithely sitting in the captains quarters wishing vainly for all the old leaders to come back from their lifeboats and master his preciouussssssssss PFAL with him....... .....((blub)).....((blub)).....((blub)).....((blub)) (as "Farther My God From Thee." is being played in the distant background) (Thanks Raf, for the historical tidbit)
