quote: I understood why the movie Rocky was talked about and was suggested.
Never saw the movie "Emmanuel" (or whatever), but when "Rocky" came out,
P*ter Cr*dit -- the current area leader up here (at that time), sat a bunch of us down, gave us a teaching on believing, and then turned on the video, with instructions to look how his (Rocky's) believing got him exactly to the point that he ended up with, in that first film.
I knew her very well. CF is one of those people who managed to be at TWI, but kept one foot in reality. We were always cracking jokes about the boneheaded leadership at HQ - no one was immune. I think she probably just felt like going to a movie - something not so PG and TWI approved.
Don't get me wrong about Carol. I had a great deal of respect for her.
At first when she came to Houston she would demand respect and not get much. After two years she got respect because she showed she cared and wantd the best.
I know I've reported this before, but they showed the lesb & dogs film at an open meeting at HQ, when i lived in St Marys in '84.
Well, it wasn't quite an open meeting, it was a Christian Family and Sex evening, open to all grads of the class, otherwise I would have never gotten in there not being corps or staff.
By the way, there was nothing lonelier than living near HQ and not being corps or staff. But that's another story.

Yet another example of the "scum sucking unbelievers copying what the true household of Da Verd" came up with first?"

"Emmanuelle" borderline? Soft-core, maybe, but not borderline.
I was definitely in the wrong branch. ;)-->

Our branch leader took us all to see "One flew over the cuckoos nest"...At the time, I failed to see the irony.
