Cents, I was in and out the same times as you so I have no first-hand info to give you. OTOH, If I were Rosie, sitting on the huge bank account that's accumulated over the years and at the same time, fresh out of charismatic leadership, I'd do everything in my power to stay away from things that might attract the attention of the IRS. You can bet they keep their heads down and their lawyers on retainer to make sure they dot their i's and cross their t's.

An interesting guy alright. I won't pretend to offer an opinion on his accuracy or depth of knowledge. I (and at least a couple of other believers) used to watch him live on TV back in the late 70's - early 80's. We'd compare notes and more than once we were amazed at how close his teachings paralleled TWI's. I think everyone was working out of Bulinger's books or something... He seemed to have the same dark side as VPW - controlling, short-tempered and a deep scorn for government. I believe he got into a big legal flap with both the IRS and the FCC over whether or not his ministry and tv station was a church or not. I still liked him and was sad to hear he passed away.

There's always some sadness to these things. I see that Carey W*ll**ms is still there. I would have expected him to see the light by now.

Try this... http://www.artakiane.com/home.htm Stunning work. It's too late for me to comment tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks exe for pointing her out.

Thanks Rick. I wasn't really looking for that approach since I use these silly little Netgear printserver boxes and I didn't think they could be accessed as real printservers. I had tried various NET USE commands trying to access them and had made no progress. It turns out that the Netgear website had just the command for routing LPT1 to a port on one of the printserver and it worked.

This seems like such a simple question that I'm embarrased to ask. I've googled around and can't seem to find an answer. I do a lot of assembly language programming, and I do it in a dos box and use Wordstar (non-document mode) as my editor. I've done it this way for 10 years and I'm not about to change. The problem is printing my program. Since my system uses a printserver, I haven't been sucessful at printing within dos to the server. I can print to the LPT port, but I need that for my FPGA programmer. But in a nutshell, all of this doesn't really matter. What I want to do is go to windows explorer, and drag my text file over to the network printer and have it printed out with no formatting or mucking around. What I have to do now is open my text file with Notepad (which messes up the tabs) and print from there. Anyone got any answers?

Reminds me of what we used to say in the Army. <sarcastic voice>"What are they going to do, send me to Nam?"</sarcastic voice>

All I would add is that it's possible to raise a loving, good and moral child without religion. That you can't understand love or peace or goodness without God is untrue.

Thanks for the coffee spew, from my mouth that is....

Good point Bramble. In all the years I've read Trancenet, Waydale and Greasespot, I've never heard anyone criticise VPW's ability to teach or to move a crowd. OTOH, my first reaction to seeing LCM teach at ROA (74 I think) was where did this jerk come from?

Ok, I have no axe to grind with this one. We're a Windows shop and as Microsoft Partners, we get just about all Microsoft products for free. That said, I bit the bullet and today I installed Vista R2 on a machine to get a feel for it and to make sure our development environment would work under it. More than anything, the experience reminded me of the old Windows 95 days. Graphic and network cards without drivers, the display defaulting to 16 colors and 640x480, goofy menus and constant nagging. I tried running Microsoft's file and program mover utility and it crashed. Three times. I actually like XP pro and I almost love Server 2005. But it will be awhile, if ever before I use Vista for production work. I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences.

Keys to Research. We giggled through most of it. I remember Donna pointing out that a Bible had it's page numbers at the bottom of the page, a good place. I mumbled that it was certainly better than having all the numbers on one page. Probably the worst class was the first B/W CF&S class. Terrible technical quality, doctrine that could not be reconciled to the Bible, then being insulted a few days later by being told the only reason we went to the class was to hear VPW say the word "penis".

Now I have to go out and buy some gallon ziploc bags....

I'm sorry for your loss as well. I didn't know LG well, but we're all related here on GS. That you would take the time to post here with an update speaks volumes of your character and heart. Know that your dad was a good man, loved and respected here. [

I don't thing you're so weird, Dot. My wife won't touch public handrails or doors if she can help it. In a restaurant, I like my silverware on a paper napkin or the plate rather than on the table. I used to eat each of the separate foods on my plate one at a time. I can't work with music on in the background. I wear clean clothes every day, but they all look the same, black denim pants, gray tee shirt. I do wear different shoes though. I don't trust cats. If something is broke, I get compulsed to fix it. I like lima beans and what my wife calls "stinky vegetables" such as brussel sprouts and asparagus. I brush my teeth with baking soda and the only type of soap I ever use is Dr Bronner's.

What would happen is that every employer would have to pay about $600 per month per employee for the insurance. About $5 per hour per person. I know because I sign the check to the HMO for my employees. I consider myself lucky because one employee chooses to work part-time, making himself ineligible for insurance, one has better coverage under his wife's plan and one is a college intern with her own plan. You can always start your own business. Then you can decide how much coverage you want to give your employees.

I think the group you're thinking of is called "lounge lizards"

It's not for me or my wife. We've been married 20+ years and we're happy with each other in most ways, but especially in terms of our sexual relations. Setting aside the moral issues, I just see a lot more potential problems than benefits.

Ok, I'm a Californian and I've been following this since day one. The proposed law is being written by a childless woman in Silicon Valley. Here in Sacramento, the letter-to-the-editor response has been about 10 to 1 opposed to the law. The responses have been: 1. You're childless and don't have a clue. 2. Spanking might be bad, but it's not the state's responsibility to judge. 3. It can't be enforced. I should note that the law as proposed would require a parenting class for the first offence, with no other penalty. Given the public response, I think it's highly unlikely the law will pass. The sideways implication that California is full of kooks and crazy people isn't needed. I've seen equal or greater socialistic tendencies in Oregon, eastern Washington, Michigan and New York.

Hum, No Weirwilles, no Reahards, no Loys. Lycos shows 5 Weirwilles, 57 Reahards and 1957 Loys. Looks like they need a better database.

Bird - Maybe it would help if I would explain what's going on here. GreaseSpot Cafe forums are mostly populated with people who spent many years as followers of The Way International, commonly called TWI. For more info on what TWI is, Wikipedia has a pretty good page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_International Most of us consider much of our time and money spent with TWI as wasted or worse. Many believe (as do I) that they suffered mild to severe emotional damage. Some of us found other ways to be Christians. Others of us choose not to believe or to simply say that "I don't know". We all try to respect each other's opinions. Most of us have read the Bible cover to cover at least once and the New Testiment several time and can quote scripture with the best. What I'm trying to say is that a simplistic message of going back to God or the need of being with God really doesn't say much to us. The people here that walk with God have probably been doing it for 20+ years. And the people that don't relate to walking with God probably gave it a real good shot. So stick around, tell us about yourself, and enjoy the company. But also know that our beliefs or lack thereof have been forged with the fire of time and pain.

It's worth noting that most grade school and junior high history books of the 50's framed the civil war as a states' rights issue with little or no reference to slavery. It wouldn't be too great of a stretch for LCM to drop back to that simplistic and sanitised view of history to meet some real or imagined need.

Perhaps in your life and from your viewpoint. No everyone shares that opinion. Why? Because they won't be blessed by God? Because they won't have eternal life? I really don't know how to answer you. I can say that I live far better and happier now than I did when I was in TWI. If belief in God works for you and makes you happy then by all means continue on. But please don't assume that all people who live independent of God are evil and unhappy. You could probably say that I'm one of those individuals that lives apart from God. I am generally quite happy with life, my family, and my friends. Furthermore, I doubt that you could find a single person that would describe me as evil. Yawn. The reality is that society in general is healther and lives in greater abundance than it ever has. So much abundance that obesity is a bigger problem amongst the poor than the affluent in the US and England. Virtually everyone in the US can find a way to get a college education. I could list other examples, but I doubt I could convince you. Now you're talking. I do have a problem with people starting wars and killing others in the name of God. And I do have a problem with people lying, cheating and stealing and then simply asking God to forgive them and continuing with their evil ways. On the other hand, getting everyone to believe in the same God and the same moral code won't work either. People must be given the freedom to believe or not believe.

Who the he11 appointed a stranger to worry about what I'm doing with my life? Yeah, we laughed, we cried, we hugged and got all spiritual back then. That was then and contrary to what VPW and his minions would have us believe, I'm free now. I spent about 10 years trying to pretend that I was "blessed" "moving the Word" when all I ever wanted to do was to build things. Well, that's what I do now and I do it well. Me and my little band of happy misfits designed, build, tested, sold and shipped 7500 industrial computers last year and *that's* what I was born to do.
