Arkmeister! Corn-gratulations on your engagement, Ron! :)--> Just what the ol' Greasespot needs: Our favorite hillbilly getting civilized. ;)--> Hey Ron, When you guys do the wedding, why doncha send us some pics of you in a tux! We could then submit it to the Jeff Foxworthy Best Dressed Redneck of the Year Contest. And we can even come up with some real winners of a caption for it. I just know you'd win. :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Raf, Is that an implicit food fight by implication? Or is this the real deal?!? :D--> FFOOOODDD FFFIIIGGGHHHHTTT!!!! Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

We now take a 5 minute intermission for a word from our sponser. GO BUCS!!!!! ((insert RA-RA football muzak here)) And now we return to THE *Zix N' Raf* Figures of Speech Debate Championships. :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Here is Flash animation that I came across that I thought was hilarious. :D--> http://www.infidelguy.com/images/upload/peas08.swf Now tell me that that never happened to those raising kids. ;)--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Oh for the luvaPete! Why not break down and get one of those HUGE 52" monster plasma monitors. With resolution to drool over. :P--> I mean, they're ONLY what, ... $12,000-$14,000 bucks? Just trade in your Buick. :D--> P.S., I see that you got one of those infrared mouses. I have one of those myself. :)--> Aren't they the coolest invention since the mouse itself? ie., no more gunk stuck inside of the little ball.

Wouldn't Raf make a good Dr. Suess? :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Most likely TWI 'borrowed' the lyrics from one Marilyn Manson. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Mike, You call what Raf shows in the Bible a huge Bible AC (or state that it doesn't matter) without even looking at the biblical text. And simply upon VPW's account in PFAL. And you do so without question. I ask again. Is what VPW wrote really *that* important, that you must brush everything to the side that challenges it? Is what VPW wrote really that much God's Word to you? Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Stayed Too Long, You gave a an excellent answer to why many folks stayed involved with TWI, an answer that 'mind control' is simply too much of a pat (and knee jerk) answer to really address! :)--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Mike, "I’m only challenging the clarity of your charges... so far." Ie., it all depends on how you define the word 'is', ehh? ;)--> Man, you should be an attorney. O'J' Simpson's attorneys couldn't touch your side-stepping song-and-dance! Better yet, run for office, ... as Clinton, Part Deux!

Yup people, This POPFile spam killer beats anything I've ever seen. A spam filter that has true intelligence that just requires a little bit o' tweeking to get it started (make sure you read and follow along with the easy to read documentation) and some adjustments along the way, but like Zix says, and I've seen for myself, this thing 'learns' FAST. I am amazed at just how it can figure out what category your emails go in. And you can even set more categories than just 'spam' and 'regular' email too. Zix is figuring that out already. My hats off to the folks who developed this spam killer app. And if they are asking for some $$$, if you can do it (and I know I am when I get into a better financial situation), send it to them. They have done a Great Service for Humanity with something like this. :)--> And I rarely gush about any product unless it really impresses me, and this impresses me! Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

With some folks, I think 'bullpaddies' would be a better description. {{{SPLAT}}} :o--> :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Zix, I just downloaded and installed POPFile this morning. Apparently its one of those programs that you have to work with to teach it to become an effective spamkiller. But if its as good as you (and its website) say, the effort will be well worth it. :)--> We'll see. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

P-mosh, "Funny, I would have pegged you as a Macintosh lover." Nahh, that's Karl Kahler, Mac freak extraordinaire. As a matter of fact, for a short time, he was member of the Mac 'cult'--oops, I mean Users Group. :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

I love the standby mode. That way you don't have to set aside 512 meg of HD space to have the system 'go to sleep' as it were. And you can still have your apps in the same state, even in mid post (such as I did here :)-->), when you power back up. I love my Windows XP now. Heck it even beats Windows 2000, and that was a tough act to follow. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

RottieGrrrl, "These people forced this PFAL class down people's throats ..." Ahh no they didn't. Everybody who took PFAL took it of their own volition. How do I know this? There were people who said "No, I don't want your class", there were people who walked out in the middle of the class, there were people who, even after finishing the class, never took part in TWI again. Thousands of people did this. And nobody was *made* to sit thru the class. Geez, why is it necessary for 'mind control' (or like tactics) to be brought up in order to expose the crap that TWI did take part in? --> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

"One thing for sure I’ve locked onto is I must not think evil of Dr." "But if tomorrow I learn of any one of them that he has a HEART to disobey Dr’s final instructions, then that respect rapidly plummets depending on how vehemently they think evil of my father in the Word." "... I do allow myself news and entertainment info, but no other teachers will I mix in with Dr’s material. I’m done with that. “No man can serve two masters” is part of this carefully chosen policy of mine." Heck Mike, I think that your own words hang you far more than anything I or anybody else can say. And they are of your own choosing and belief, which pretty much kicks the old 'mind control' argument into the trash can. You have made up your own mind on this one, Mike. I just will not follow you into 'obeying Dr.s final instructions', so I guess that puts me into your disrespect pile. Not that I give a rat's a** about tho'. Caio.

Mikey, "These 4 NEW data points have never entered the discussion here, as far as I've seen, nor any single verbal conversation I have been in or heard about in 17 years." Maybe its because its just NOW that you bring them up. Maybe? Huh? So if there is any blame for us not doing so, how about sharing in that blame, ya think? "But, for the vast majority of you, because you choose to think evil, these possibilities have escaped your perceptions, ..." and further implications that we are supposedly just *chomping at the bit* to, in 'davilish' like manner of course, attack the Word and its Messenger, cause thats *really* what is at the base of all our motivations, isn't it, Mike? It has to be! I mean, it just cannot be because maybe we might have **valid** complaints about what the man taught or did; thus, according to what it says in I and II Timothy and Titus, holding VPW to the same standard to any other spokesman of God. (Not to mention the part in Deauteronomy that says that if someone says that he is a prophet of God, and prophesies anything that doesn't come to pass, then he's a fake & a fraud, and there have been plenty of places where VPW have Spake as a Man of God, and oopsie, it didn't pan out.) Nahhh, it just cannot be that way, can it Mike, lest it might have that ugly possibility of undermining this Gospel of VPW and PFAL being THE Word of God, and more being like many other Bible classes everywhere else, except PFAL was taught by some minister who ultimatily allowed the desires of the flesh and pride to overtake his ministry. And you are obligated to not even begin to consider that now, would you, Mike? Like you'll pi** God off if you did? "It’ll be interesting when I get back to see how quickly these new points are discarded. At least give them about 10 seconds each. That’ll almost be a full minute. I choose to think these through for another 17 years at least." A lie, considered for 10 seconds, or for 17 years, ... still remains a lie, Mike. Your attitude of "Look at all-l the years that *I* have spent on all of this about VPW and PFAL, so that proves me right" didn't work for someone else here who was so anal about the Illuminati, and it ain't gonna work for you either. Face it, Wierwille and TWI had their chance at really making a difference in the world. They screwed up. Looks like back to the drawing board.

Mike, One thing I can say about ya, ... I love your wierd sense of humor!! :D--> Firesign Theatre fan! Cool! That's right on up there in my book, right along with Monty Python, Bloom County, and Zonker! Now where do I mail my $$$$ .... Jeeezz, I almost got 'brainwashed' for a minute there!! Anywho, I can relate to trying to get everything done all at once. And even if I don't agree with hardly anything you say here, I do appreciate you being polite and all. But overall, perhaps the reason that Raf and the others are saying the things that they are to you isn't because of bitterness, unbelief in God's Word, or any other ungodly reason, but from an honest and thinking position that they have arrived at and that you might learn a thing or three from. Just like we can learn from you. Just as long as God is the final determining source, and not any man or organization, trinitarian or unitarian, Democratic or Republican. (Altho, I hafta draw the line at Reform Party hacks. I had enough of them with seeing Pat Buchanan and Co. :D--> ) Peace! Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Mike, I got a question for you, if you could find it in your heart to answer a question from this poor infidel. (I've noticed that you haven't answered any of my questions before. I mean, what is it, my breath? ) Weren't you the guy who, 3-4 years ago, posted on the Trancenet message board about some Corps-like program that you wanted to set up, and you invited folks on Trancenet to take part and join that Corps-like program? And I 'highly suggested' to you that the Trancenet boards weren't exactly the place to go recruiting for your 'Corps' program, because many of the folks there were still smarting from the abuse that they endured under TWI, and that they might turn some of that frustration on you, in no uncertain terms? And you got that kind of response back then, didn't you? In spades! So maybe that should be a bit of a clue for you as to the success (or lack of same) that you'll get here, ... doncha think? Anyway, let me know what your answer is to that, as I hope I haven't offended you too terribly by my questions before. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Karl, "Is this what it takes to bring the likes of you out of hiding?" ??? Me in hiding? You ask some of the folks around here, and they'll tell you that for some reason, they just can't get rid of me. :D--> Besides, I thought you were one of those who have had it up to here in exWayland, and have moved on to bigger and better things. Where is Walker? You mean Howard Walker? K.I.S.S.? I haven't seen that dude around in a LONG time; ever since the Trashnet days. And I remember him pretty much saying that he had it up to here with hashing over things Way. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Raf, "As for Athletes of the Spirit: Is there any written account of Wierwille's doctrine, where the writing/editing/publication was overseen by Wierwille?" Frpm what I heard in posts past re: Wierwille's response to "Athletes of the Spirit" production by dancing boy Loy, I've heard that he was quite disgusted with Craig's involvement with the whole thing. (yet nobody even payed attention to Vic, further contributing to his "Nobody loves/respects me/the Word anymore!!" whining to Chris G.) Probably had something to do with Craig not paying enough attention to "the Word". Hey! Wow! Victor got something right for a change. :D--> P.S., How's it going Karl, ya ol' hoss thief?

Raf, "You and I gotta hang out and grab a beer one night." Only make sure that he's 'prosperous' enough to buy you a beer. :D--> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com
