new year, new hopes, new promises... same old excuses on behalf of the Predator. The ONLY evidence that there was a snowstorm that day comes from the testimony of a man who is a DOCUMENTED LIAR when it comes to miraculous snowstorms that seemingly validate his ministry. There is no other reason to believe there was a snowstorm that day. The time of year is strongly against it. The nearest weather report is strongly against it. No contemporary documentation establishes it. The ONLY reason to believe it happened is Wierwille said so. Wierwille also said he was snowed in while trying to get out of Tulsa, a documented, established, inescapable dungpile of horsehockey. But we're to believe this earlier snowstorm, which he told no one about for... how long? BECAUSE he said so and for no other reason... Sorry. I might have made some excuses for him in 1989, but not in 2009. I do, however, wish you all a happy new year.

None of them? Hello? The producer, director, supporting actor...? Ring a bell? He was afraid the lead actor looked JUST like him. Been in a coupla movies... won a coupla Oscars... in a ROW! TH SZ TES EE RW GR None of them ring a bell? In fact, TH and PS were both in this movie, a treat for those who remember their cross-dressing TV roots.

That's OhNEDDers.

What if Greasespot required more than your login? It strikes me that the best parts of GSC can thrive if a few people were willing to gather a handful of resources and actually form a bonafide non-profit. Just a thought.

I, for one, haven't been able to visit here nearly as often as I used to. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I totally understand where Paw is coming from. On the other hand, I don't want to let go. This is a huge community, a huge family in a lot of ways, with a common experience at its core but widely varying experiences preceding and following it. We all have our "before I took PFAL" testimonies, our "when I took PFAL" stories. Most of us have our "I realized things were going wrong when" stories, followed by either "I decided to leave when" or "I got thrown out when" stories... And we survived. And often thrived. The Way International is a joke, a third rate wannabe cult that never gained a fame commensurate with its arrogance. Its founder bragged that he'd forgotten more about the Bible than some people ever knew, and then he set about proving just how much he'd forgotten. For a time, we who found our way out of the Way wandered, never quite certain about how to process this experience because, frankly, very few others could relate to it. And then this Internet popped up, and slowly but surely, we all began finding each other, first with e-mail lists, then off-shoot web pages, and finally the CES and Waydale forums. We were home again, only home was a very different place than an Ohio cornfield. We were free to disagree, and disagree we did! Greasespot carried that tradition on for 10 years (shudder, folks, it's been that long). And now we can and should ask ourselves some questions: 1. What purpose has it served? 2. What purpose does it serve? 3. At what cost? 4. And who is paying that price? Up until now, the answer to numbers 3 and 4 has been Pawtucket (and I know I am not alone in saying that I never quite thanked him enough). If the Greasespot Cafe is a hangout, then it is not worth the cost. If it's a security blanket, it is not worth the cost. If, however, it is a resource, then maybe it is worth the cost, but it may be too much to ask one person to continue to pay it. I'm just thinking out loud, so to speak. This place can only last but so long the way it has been operating. As it stands, the enormous good will of one man has carried us quite a distance. I would love to see Greasespot continue as it has been; as long as there is a TWI, there should be a gathering of people willing to stand up to their lies, distortions and burials of the abuses of the past. But at what cost? Certainly not one I would wish on Paw. I don't know if there's a solution, but I suspect it does not lie in the way things have been.

Orlando Bloom, Orlando Bloom, wasn't he in... Ah, yes! Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Neverending Title Liv Tyler That Thing You Do!

Yup, Twilight it was. I thought "You brought a snack" was one of the scariest lines I'd ever heard. Very well done, that scene. Overall, eh. Ok movie.

The Day the Earth Stood Still Jennifer Connelly... taking a moment to pause, sigh, and wonder what might have been... okay, I'm better now ...Hulk

I would be happy to tithe once the Temple is restored and the Levites are back in charge of taking care of it.

You know, I was going to apologize for vanishing, but now that I see this clue, I don't apologize. It's better than anything I'd have come up with.

Sorry, folks. Been real busy Christmasing. It is NOT Interview with the Vampire. "You've got to give me some answers." "I'd rather hear your theories." "I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite." "That's all superhero stuff, right? What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm... the bad guy?"

Banal, dull writing from someone who obviously chose the wrong line of work.

And I never understood why they left out the remaining letters of place names. FYI, it's Digne.

Lifted can take my turn. It's Victor Hugo, and those are the opening lines of Les Miserables.

Possibly my favorite novel/story of all time.

"How old are you?" "17" "How long have you been 17?" "A while." ... "You brought a snack!"

I've noticed that. Here, have a pizza.

Awesome puzzle!

Cool. You really do have to know the team nickname, though.
