But on Target! Taken from http://jimmartin.typepad.com/place/2006/01...dults_only.html Somebody in here needs to grow up!

Probably enjoying some fireworks~

What the Hey must be super busy~

An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning till night (and sometimes later), she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot. One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began haranguing him again. Complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot. At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement. This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old farmer about it. So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer, and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men. The old farmer said: "Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement." "And what about the men?" the minister asked. "They wanted to know if the mule was for sale."

I'm sure I was there... was it in a convention type hotel?... So many meetings & classes. SO MUCH MONEY SPENT! <_< I do remember this being a somewhat ROWDY bunch... and, also heard some 'coordinators' getting REPROVED (horribly embarrassing)... they needed to get on TOP OF THIS before it got out of hand. Did this one have a Texas BBQ for the 'GRADUATION' meal? and the BIG TREAT FOR ALL OF US WAS TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH ol Loy in his big hat?... um... Howard Allen & Don Weirwille too... PICTURES ANYONE?!?!?!?

Cool OakSpear :) I know this man you speak of ;) Perhaps to all of that attention, it was okayed for him to do 'something'... what did he do? Smile & nod? Wave? The singing lady I'm referring to was the 'head girl' (for awhile anyway)... The LAW hadn't been in effect forever... started, I believe in the 90's... mid to late. The LAW about it all was MOST important during events that were video taped (that's when she'd see us in the audience~ our 'faithful' trip there once a month... we WERE in the 250 mile radius) ... anyway... THOSE HAD to be professional quality productions which word in business was that?... thinking back... It seems I took part in some of that noise :)

Very Happy For YOU Bluzeman!

Nope... wasn't me Jonny What does Moose taste like? Similar to deer? Hopefully NOT like rabbit... but if it's like racoon, snake or horse... then I guess I'd like it :)

Maybe I missed something in reading here, but WHY would VP even be thinking such nonsense? I just don't get it, did he read something and jump to conclusions? Did he have ulterior motives? Did this stance help promote something of his own? I honestly never new, previous to reading here, that he even talked about this…but then, after our first ‘encounter’…I didn’t like him much anyway ;) Here's a Map, counting the deaths:

Now don't that just beat all... I swear, I could hear ol' John a speakin!

I have them... but they're hidden in a box If nobody else can find them... just for you, I'll open that box

Now how I missed that part of your sentence... I refuse to see that stupid movie

Well guys & gals, when it all gets too sick and smelly in this 'room', let's move outside for some air and refreshments. Whadaya say~ This truck just pulled up outside~ And there are some eats out there too~

Yeee Hawww! Well I reckon, it's good if ya like it...

Button Pushers... Being lost for ideas to help motivate my children... Getting mad about stupid stuff Being overcharged for medical supplies in the Emergency Room When the Bank makes a mistake, but charges for their time to find it Stupid accidents from silly distractions

It was my impression that the crotch grabbing, gyrating, F**king Rap was Hell's first choice... Country Whining songs maybe second... Country Love songs would be forbidden there, I'm sure of it... and Toby Keith's "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue" still gives me the chills

Yep... it's TRUE GOEY!!!! There are PLENTY MORE... those songs just kept ROLLING OUT! I did speak personally with the Choir Director... Ted? Short guy…... anyway, it was his job to think up these songs, or okay any lyrics presented to him... I don't know if he agreed with this, but I do know staff DID WHAT THEY WERE TOLD! Even the singing ladies... my WOW brother's wife is one, we visited in their trailer on grounds (shared by two families!)... she IS NOT ALLOWED TO WAVE OR ACKNOWLEDGE IN ANYWAY anyone personally while on stage. She would get FIRED! TWI so wanted to be recognized as being PROFESSIONALS... Somewhere along the way, they LOST the HEART... This 'self-promoting' music showed this ever so CLEARLY!

Amen to that Bliss! Yes Goey, it did get RIDICULOUS, to the extreme! Some of the songs Bliss showed were sung by 'groups', which, people would sing to, and play for teaching purposes and even 'background-blessing' music. The songs I've typed out are in the Sing Along The Way. During the 90's those song books continued to be revised, and new purchases required. For a while, we were handing out 'new song copies' for folks to tape/glue/staple into their existing song books There were a few, with a melody almost impossible to bear. Some of the 'guys' kept 'losing' their paper copy, probably with hopes of NOT HAVING TO SING IT! Let's see... was there a song on 'no debt'... YES!!!!! Here goes: VE OWE ONLY TO LUB Ve owe no man anything, only to lub Gawd has supplied all of our need Ve werk mit our hands da ding which is good, Ve trust our Gawd and believe As to all the other Way Prod songs… I just haven’t had the stomach to open that box yet… Must be difficult Bliss

Sorry about that Rick... editing is no longer an option for me... I thought it was funny, since what you stated about the picture, were my thoughts on CK's rude persistence. The ‘Ignore’ feature seems to work well for me

Bliss... I HEAR YA!!!! My Gawd, those songs were horrible, avoided... we were MADE TO LEARN THEM! HQ was complaining about participation during the STS, everyone didn't know the NEW SONGS... I have music for 20, dated from 91-97 Title is underlined & part of song: (misspelled on purpose... not to infringe on copyrights) WE ARE LIVING SANCTIFRIED SPEAKING TRUTH WITH CHRIST INSIDE NOT ENTANGLED MIT DE VORILD IN DE HOUSEHOLD, IN DE VERD It's sanctifried living that sets us apart When we allow Gawd's Verd to dwell in our hearts. We search it with passion, our Fadda to know, We live De Verd daily, and daily we grow. All the energy I have for this tonight

... did you first type 'baby sister'?... cause that's what I thought I read... :unsure: eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

DMiller... that was one of the strangest poems I've ever read! Is it based on facts? Shocking!

Enlightening, MountainTop! There were so many conditions to meet. People were treated with the RESPECT they ACHIVED from classes/programs. Referring to someone 'outside' the fold as being good... was almost saying something bad... PEOPLE WERE NOT GOOD UNTIL THEY GOT COMMITED WITH TWI! And, you could never be sure until you heard them speak in tongues... so began the madness~ Sounds like a scripted play... were we all playing 'house'... or, um... 'life'? The longer I stayed and the more classes I took, the shoddier the whole image materialized... alienation from anything normal was expected. I'm so glad to be OUT too.
