I hear that Solaris really sucks, Analyze That is horrible, and there's not much else out there that I would have considered going to watch. My wife wants to go see a movie this weekend, but I don't know what it should be, since there's not anything of any quality out there that I am aware of. Also, the Two Towers comes out in one week or two weeks? I'll probably wait two weeks after it's release to go see it, but I am looking forward to it.

I think he may have mentioned it on his website, but if not, I remember something about how he had a few minor scenes in it but they were edited out. I'd look on his site but I'm too lazy, so if you want you can look around http://www.wilwheaton.net/. Personally I am usually repulsed by reading personal websites because they always seem too egotistical.

I am just angry that they've effectively ruined Wil's career and keep screwing him over every time they start talking to him about putting him back into the movies. His character did suck, but that wasn't his fault.

Actually the Incarnations of Immortality series. "For Love of Evil" was especially hilarious to me, but my favorite was the first one, "On A Pale Horse."

I saw it in the airport the other day and thought about it because I haven't ready any Michael Chrichton books for a while (I was on a Tad Williams and Piers Anthony kick for a while) but it does seem a lot like just another Andromeda Strain.

I translated it on babelfish. It's supposed to be, "I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so." Of course, babelfish is hardly as good as a human translator. I meant to post this on the computer forum anyway, it was an accident here. I was just curious if I could post it.

??????, ???????????????????????, ??????????????????

Oak, I don't know you or your situation with your children that well, but I don't blame my parents for anything. Whether you were in TWI or not, I think that as long as you've done your best as a parent with the knowledge you had at the time, your kids shouldn't blame you for anything either.

Pulling the statistics off the top of my head based on what I've seen, I'd say less than 5% for non-corps, and probably closer to 40% for corps. The main confusing thing though is how to distinguish this between parents who are still in TWI and those who are not. I was including both groups in my guess.

I have been wanting to write something, but I didn't want innies that I know to end up being harassed by TWI for association with me, especially my relatives. I'm pretty sure that quite a few people who may read this site from the state I first mentioned can figure out who I am, and probably WC could too if they cross checked some of the info I listed. However, I didn't put all of my information, I'm not quite ready for that.

Well thank you for responding.

Well, I've hid my identity in the case of WayGB here harassing innies that I know, but as time has gone on, I don't really care anymore what they do, because they can't touch me, and if any TWI leadership harass anyone I know because they are in contact with me, then the TWI leadership will reap what they sow. Anyway, I'll get on with telling a little bit about my life. I first got into TWI as a very small child, about three years old or so. I don't remember a time before it, but I do remember the early days of TWI in my life as being around good happy people. They had some of the same beliefs as the churches my grandparents went to, but seemed to be a lot happier and more tightly knit. I would grow up with this image of TWI in my mind for many years. After VPW died, I remember that I wasn't a big fan of LCM. I was very young, so who knows why, he just reminded me of Cobra Commander or something. He wasn't the warm grandfatherly leader that VPW seemed to be. However, the people I was surrounded by were good people and I liked them. As I became a teenager, LCM became more paranoid and more evil. I first started feeling the effects of the corps becoming more dark hearted. In particular, a corps family I had known very well and cared a lot about, R&V Oxxxx had moved to Florida, and new corps came in. TWI had changed at this point for me, as our new leader, John Gxxxxxxxx was one of the new fascist corps leaders. This guy began a purge of many people, he had public confrontations of families. Our state was probably one of the largest in the country at the time, but he had singlehandedly M&A over half of the people in the branch. One divorce in particular that he had caused was messy, and I remember I was brought along to help carry the stuff out of the house of the guy that was staying in, while his wife panicked. She was having a panic attack at the time, which was bad enough that I mistook it for devil spirit posession. It was also during this time that the ROA was starting to go downhill and LCM would scream at everyone during the meetings, he become obsessed with homosexuals, accusations flew around of teenagers having big orgies at the ROA, and the "Bless Patrol" became a mandatory thing to do if I didn't want to scrub toilets. In my youth, though, I thought this was actually a good thing. I thought that the purges really would protect us from devil spirits, and I thought that it cleaned things out. Some of the people who were kicked out of our fellowship (as my parents were HFCs at the time) I didn't like anyway, so it made sense for the most part. I was far in denial about the things I knew were bad, and just thought that we were in a rough patch that would eventually smooth out. In 1995, I took the advanced class and was there when LCM claimed that "the word was over the world." I was confused, but being at the AC, leadership explained and covered it and was harsh on our "old wineskins" of understanding of what WOW meant. I had a good time at the AC, met some nice people my age, and came back home gung ho for TWI. At the ROA in 1995, LCM's .... hit the fan even harder, and this was the last year of the ROA. I was on bless patrol right outside the fountain of dead waters, and was mean to people who just wanted to go hang out there, especially if it was during a mandatory teaching session. After that, other people were becoming M&A that I knew, including some that I wasn't very comfortable with. The Corps leader that was in charge of my branch was reassigned, and we had J. Wxxx come in, who I think is a good guy, and was not a grand inquisitor like J. G. was. Although things settled down there with that, the pressure on debt was stronger, and my parents were being scrutinized strongly. They stopped running a home fellowship at some point around then because they had not finished paying off their house. Suprisingly, they were not told to sell it because with four kids, they couldn't rent anything at as low a rate as their mortgage, and they also were working on paying it off very quickly. Other people did sell their houses though, and live in somewhat run-down rentals to this day. I had made a major change at this point, and moved into a house with other believers. There were some problems with us living together, so after a while I moved back into my parents house for a couple months, and then got a job at a local university. It was there that I started to meet other people in walks of life that I hadn't really known before, and other ways of thinking. I was in community college before that, so it wasn't exactly known for people coming from all over the world to attend. Anyway, I moved out into my own apartment and turned 21 and started drinking legally, but was not really an alcoholic. However this lifestyle change did affect who I hung out with and some other things in my social life. Ultimately, I had wanted to leave TWI while I was working at the university, but the threat of M&A had caused me to not want to do it. I cared for my family too much to put pressure onto them and stress if I left. I did end up taking a job in GA, and mulled quitting TWI, but for some reason ended right back attending a home fellowship. I got along with a couple of the people, but we split, and I was left with people that I wasn't very close to, plus having a little LCM wannabe for my HFC. His pressure on me to either join the corps or go Way Disciple, plus the complaining about things I did, and the intense scrutiny any time I coughed or wanted to go out of town finally got to me. I started attending less and less fellowship meetings, going only when I was scheduled to teach or lead. Soon afterwards, I decided it wasn't worth it at all, and stopped going altogether. It was then that I stopped calling the HFC to tell him why I wouldn't attend his fellowship that night, and I didn't return his calls anymore. TWI leaders left calls on my home phone, work phone, and cellphone, but I didn't respond. They tried everything from being stern and like a drill sergeant to trying to be tender and acting hurt that I hadn't called back. This went up to the branch coordinator, down to the people I attended fellowship with. Some of them were good people, and there were a few in with me that I know wanted to quit, or at least find somewhere less restrictive. Anyway, this was my story, at least for the parts pertaining to TWI. There were some major events I left out, such as the time I had to spend with my genetic father, who gave me as much hatred as my mother and stepfather gave me love. I left out the car accident I had where I should have died and how that changed my life. I left out the death of my grandfather which helped me clearly see that "God's plan" is a joke. I left out many other things that were fairly important as well, but this is all I feel like typing for now. If you have any questions, I'll address them here.

Marquee is not html. It's some Satanic abomination that (I think) is only supported in IE!

Does WinMX have the ability to download a file from multiple users yet? This is the only reason I use KaZaA Lite actually. I like having the ability to be able to speed things up by getting a piece from many different people.

Now it begins for you too, at least as far as broadband is concerned. If you're interested in getting music, I use a program called KaZaA Lite. The full version of KaZaA is really bad, but the lite one doesn't put ads on your screen or put spyware on your hard drive.

When I was about 14 my dad made me go see Three Dog Night performing in a park. That sucked really badly and was a quite scary and embarassing experience for a young teenager. They were playing for free in a park, and it was full of 50 year old hippies who got out their clothes that they wore in the 60s from storage to wear just for that one night. Of course, I've been to many, many concerts after that, and had friends in bands (I was never good enough with the guitar to be in a band, but I was a decent trumpet player.) A few of the acts I've seen are Metallica, Staind, KoRn, Wu Tang Clan, Cake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Life, Smashing Pumpkins...and a lot more that I can't think of right now. As far as non-rock music, I've seen a few different orchestras, Mariachis Vargas de Tecalitlan (one of the world's most famous Mariachi bands), and some small club bands of various music. I listen to weird stuff now though. For example, this morning I've listened to Ween (.... Up A Rope), Ministry (New World Order), Cowboy Bebop (Tank), Inspector (Amnesia), and that's about it.

This started out as "music our youth listen to" and became a reminiscing thread of oldies.

Ummm...according to the present truth, Jesus was crucified with four people rather than two, and it appears that God actually defined a decade on base 12, which is a more spiritual number than 10, and 12 is easily divisible by 4 to coincide with the present truth concerning the crucifixion. We also know that 12 divided by 4 is 3, which is the number of completion, so we have completion in the world to signify completely complete prevailing in the world which is the realm of the adversary. Therefore, the "Decade of Prevailing™" is an actual decade of 12 biblical years, which are different than secular years. (This was a joke.)

Well my wife bought me a new video game over the weekend.

I meant no offense either. I just meant to be very generic.

The U.S. has some of the worst censorship in the world when it comes to TV. To get worse, you'd have to go to a fundamentalist Muslim nation like Iran. I'm not just talking about sexy women and stuff like that either. In the U.S., it's illegal to have a roll of toilet paper on TV in a position that leads you to believe that it will be used for it's actual purpose. You can have TP rolling down a hill, you can have a kid using it as a shelf for his stuffed animals, but the moment your commercial has a guy walk into a bathroom with TP and insinuate he's going to do #2, you get fined by the FCC. Drinking alcohol is also illegal on commercials. You can show someone with a bottle of beer in their hand hanging out with their friends, or you can show the aftermath of it, but the minute you have a person taking a sip you're busted. I could go on and on, but the FCC are a bunch of bad words that I'm not going to type here. They censor the most rediculous things, it's suprising that they're not al Qaeda themselves.

I was actually going to bring that up, as well as men that stay home, but work called. Anyway, I didn't really want to bring up the morality of it there, just try to explain to a certain degree why men prefer the young skinny girls over average women. As far as Victoria's Secret goes, those models are mostly what gay men think straight men would like. I prefer women that have a little more meat on their bones.

This has no relation to morality or anything like that, but I want to help the women understand why men are attracted to the women they are, and stuff like that. It's not meant to justify anything, just to help spread a little understanding of how the male brain works. I'm also looking at humans as a form of animal here, so some may be insulted by that. Anyway, basically men and women come together for breeding. This is the same as with all animals. However, there are a few things about human males and females that factor into choosing a mate and breeding. One is that a woman has the most committment to having children. A man can theoretically (and unfortunately too often in practice) simply impregnate a woman in a matter of minutes, and be gone. A woman has at least nine months to bring out the child. Because of this, a man could technically have more than one wife, to improve his chances of having more offspring. This is the way it works with many mammals in the animal world. The alpha male takes many females because he is the strongest male and will give the best chance for survival of the female animal's offspring. The same thing has happened in other cultures of mankind, and was acceptable. It's more rare that it would be acceptable for a woman to have more than one mate. Women want to find a male that can provide them with the time and resources to raise a child, so women subconsciously place more importance in things such as how successful he is and how much of a leader he is (this is general, there are plenty of exceptions due to our society and stuff but this is how it seems to work.) Men, on the other hand, place more importance on appearance and youthfulness. This seems shallow to women, but it's just different. Since a man can be with many different women, it's best to have young ones that have not yet had children, and have a better chance of raising kids successfully. The problem comes with civilization. The roles of males and females are not static in the human world vs. the animal world, and we value other things than just physical strength. This is why you'll see a beautiful woman with an old rich guy for example. Also, our emotions based on our social structures have changed things. That's why we have things like monogamy, when it's not in the best interest for the man. We've overcome many of our instincts, for better or worse, but we're still attracted to others based loosely on our animal instincts. So, the women in the Victoria's Secret show are not the average woman. It's true, they do have breast implants and starve themselves to look thin. They also wear lots of makeup and get other things done to make themselves look more youthful and sexy. There's nothing wrong with that, any more than wearing lipstick is a bad thing. Things like lipstick and blush were first used to appear to have a youthful sexiness. When women get sexually excited, their cheeks often get blushed and their lips get a little more coloured. Makeup is an attempt to mimic this sexual reaction in an attempt to lure a mate. That became socially acceptable, even though it is not the reality of how a woman looks. Being thin is mostly socially acceptable, as are breast implants. The morality of this is up to the individual. One woman may find it degrading to get breast implants and prefers to keep what she has naturally, while another thinks it makes her look good and that it's acceptable. Both women are right, as it's up to them to decide what the right thing to do is. Men have to make similar choices, although they are more subtle because women are not as fixated on the physical being as men are. In our society it's usually something more like, "Do I want to give up on going out with friends to stay at home with my wife?" or "Do I want to give up sports to please my wife?" The sacrifices are not always the same but there are many things men do for women that is an inconvenience and sometimes a major personality change in order to accomodate a relationship with a woman.

I don't see what the big fuss is over the show. U.S. TV is too prudish anyway. If I were a parent, I'd rather let them see breasts all over the TV instead of crap like COPS where you see people shooting each other. In any case, people who get upset about those sorts of shows should just change the channel. It's supposed to be a free country.

A woman was sitting at a bar, enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends, when an exceptionally tall, handsome,extremely sexy, young man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her,"I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20---on one condition." Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The young man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed from her purse a $20 bill, which she pressed into the young man's hand, along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes and slowly, meaningfully whispered ..... "Clean my house"
