This one from ChasUFarley speaks for itself..

"Hell, there's more excitement and action in my cat's litterbox than there is in TWI - not to mention the litterbox smells better!"

Mr. Hammeroni on the law of believing:

quote:

Ever think that maybe in the big scheme of things, life is really not about YOU? "But God's just GOTTA give it to ME" me, me me. Ptooie.

These "infallible" keys seem to cater to the immature, in my opinon. And yes, the finger points at me too, at least at one time, probably even some to this day.

GrouchoMarxJr said this about the current corps program and the leaders

it's producing....

quote:

Serving God's people??? Maybe it was the title of a cookbook.

======

I picture the man standing on line waiting to enter the corps, as

someone runs up to him yelling...

"NO!

Don't go!

'To Serve God's People'....

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!!!"

A mix of the Twilight Zone episode and Soylent Green.

Good Ol' Ham said this about LCM teaching that sex is like putting a finger in an ear:

From Trefor, our friend from across the pond:

quote:

Freedom can never die when it lives in the hearts of men. Hatred cannot succeed because it contains within it the seeds of its own destruction.

[Trefor Heywood]

Gosh - I haven't really looked at this thread before and I find I am cited in it twice! :D-->

I await for the appropriate Nobel award in due course! ;)-->

[Linda Z]

Darn, what did I do with that laurel wreath???

Will a halo do?

[Trefor Heywood]

Sure if the cheque that goes with the award is as large! :D-->

Words of wisdom from Oenophile:

quote:

If it were my son who had died in this war of dubious purposes, I would be mad as hell too. Patriotism is not found in blind allegiance to leadership or among the flag waving throngs that support it. Rather true patriotism is found in those that support the ideals that founded this country, chief among them is to dissent when those in power have lost the credibility required to lead.

Oakspear responded to

"..but the Ford never explained Henry"

by saying

quote:

um...that's because the Ford was a CAR!!!

Bravo, Oakspear.

here's a gem from the Evan (in the doctrinal forum):

quote:

Greeks know Greek quite well and it hasn't made them more spiritual. Bible scholars are no more holy than Joe Schmoe. It's a treadmill that goes nowhere.

insightful indeed

From Juan Cruz: the real explanation of this pithy saying :)-->

quote:

God bless, I love you, You're the best (suckers and sex partners I could find).

[Belle]

A gem from Rascal:

quote:

It sure doesn`t say much for a God or his message, if all he could find to represent him and teach it, was the likes of vpw.

VPW gave God and Christianity a great big black eye in my opinion....when he endulged in more evil, found more ways to justify the sating of his lusts, was more relentless in his destruction of people than the vilest of unbelievers....

Geeze with a God and a minister like that...who`s afraid of Satan?

[Ham]

Belle, I think YOU are a Greasespot Gem! :)-->

originally posted in an AOS thread by GrouchoMarx Jr. critiquing LCM's dancing.

"...and suddenly he would leap through the air, moving like a ruptured chimpanzee..."

an humorously accurate description imo.

[irisheyes]

This thread is priceless! Just read it for the first time. Linda Z (if I wasn't a girl I'd say) you're the girl for me. ;)

[Belle]

Hi IrishEyes!

She is wonderful, isn't she? I love seeing that she's been posting when I come to the GSpot. :)

[irisheyes]

Belle,

I've read your stuff since I started, but read some really awesome stuff you wrote today. I think it was you who said we just never did enough for twi. ain't that the truth? I hate when that happens! Would you believe I've never sat through Gone with the Wind from beginning to end? Nice to finally meet you!

[Sudo]

Irisheyes,

Re:"Would you believe I've never sat through Gone with the Wind from beginning to end?"

It's one of the best movies ever made. I don't know of anyone who was ever disappointed that they watched it. So fiddle-dee-dee.. go on and watch it tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day. I'll cry into my pillow every night until you do!

Psuedo:

I'll watch it just so you get some sleep. Promise! IE

Commenting on a certain poster's *viewpoint*, GrouchoMarxJr. said the following:

His circular reasoning becomes a source of frustration for anyone who tries to help him. He confuses the unshakable stand of a prophet with the stubborness of an foot. At the juncture where most of us departed from Wierwille's false doctrines and redeemed our minds, Mike chose the opposite direction and dove headfirst into the depths of deceit, like an ostrich with it's head in the sand, he refuses to acknowledge even the slightest smell of smoke, while his entire house of cards is being engulfed with the flames of the false prophet.

Now, now, play nice on this thread.....

[Linda Z]

Thanks, WordWolf.

I really hoped this thread would be a respite from all the debate and mud slinging. For the most part, it has been. I sure hope it stays that way.

[dmiller]

Hmmm. Have always tried to *play nice*, and my sincerest apologies if it came across differently..

I thought the previous as something worth quoting here. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you know me, you know I don't try to *slam* anyone. :)
