town*send.. in California. Barking Orders.. forbidding any kind of Christian Intellectualism. No Companion Bibles Allowed. They were beyond his Intellect.. must be devilish..
cummins. forbidding any kind of prohibition against adultery..
not *just* adultery, either.
I met a couple from California, subjected to town*nds numbnutiness.
But besides the logic behind the objections.. they would have not been any better than him.. or fiser.. or anybody else given free reign over a virgin organization.
a bunch of kids playing grown up. Doesn't that really describe the organization? vic pretty much alienates and throws out any real kind of elder..
I don't think he ever took the Advanced Class, either. In the class, he taught that you can't ask God for a sign, claimed the dew on the fleece was a one-time deal. Then, he turned around and expected us to believe some lame story about how he ordered God to make it snow, as a sign.
Sometimes people accuse me of being bitter. I'm not sure I was ever bitter. I'm damn sure, though, that I've been more than just a little embarrassed to admit I was duped.
No, he didn't take the advanced class either. Not *really*. "black heart, white heart" is so spiritually juvenile.
And this differs from reading Tarot cards.... how?
(not my) uncle harry raised skunks for pelts. *Miraculously* he never got sprayed when he picked them up. The whole story is in the little biography book the way used to sell. I do not have it on the book shelf now, it is long gone..
Patton studied at West Point.. MacArthur as well.. vic studied practical theology.. i.e. preaching. The only problem I have with Patton is that he did so poorly first time around with mathematics. Maybe he just didn't find the right instructor or something..
Well, you know what they say. Those that can do, do. Those that can't teach. Those that can't teach well start a cult to redefine what teaching well is.
So why can't I develop a few real, genuine friendships without joining another damned cult..
The older you get, the fewer friends you will have. Part of that, of course, is due to attrition. People get old and die. Or, they move up the corporate ladder and drive off into the sunset in a moving truck. That kinda stuff. But, and perhaps more important, as you get older, you are able to spot the so-called friends who are really users/manipulators and extricate them from your life. I wish I had a better answer but that's all I've got.

Way, I thought the AC was a waste of time, and money. What garbage!!

vic went "witnessing" a few times. With a female way corps "fox" hanging off his arm..
she said something like this in an open meeting..
but not exactly. I wish these Numbnuts would come here to compare notes..

vic was never in a "work program" either. Never mucked the pond, never fixed the mortar at Emporia.. never.. never. Never "did".
But he found a few "leaders" who could bark orders in this kind of situation..
I met one. Or two. Or three. I'll stop at four.

He claimed his "class" promoted harmony in the home. How would he know?
The only harmony he created was a long string of duets in the motor coach.

We really were played, in a major way here..
let's see what the cuss detector does here..
the women were $%^$#ed. the men (?) were f*C*@#d.
In a weird kind of way.. I feel more sorrow for the men. the women for the mot part figured out it was messed up. At least from what I've read here.

Tarot Cards are more complex.
Maybe it depends on the Reader.

or founding one.. or being an administrative assistant of one.. or enabling one.. or whatever.
maybe it is because I am asking for far, far too much.

Find some people with a common interest.
Become an engaging guest speaker, or something.
That last one probably is up your alley.
I've heard it said that the best way to have friends is to be one.
I don't know if you were skipping that step.
