Which Case was dismissed? There were 4, right? ~Chris

Rich and I were involved 1971-1987.

I missed that Rock. I never stood in line naked. :-) Hmm, maybe I was naked and just don't remember it. No, my kids would definitely be telling me about it now. ~Chrispy

I think there is a record of personal prophecy in Acts 16. Remember Paul's thorn in the flesh? The woman saying, "these men are the servants of the most high God..." :) Chrispy

Btw reminder to all those not used to our split personality I am the Richie half of the Duality of RichnChrispy. Hi to all my new friends I met at the BBQ.

Hey, dmiller! Everyone here at the BBQ says, "Hey! Glad to here your dad is doing well. Wish you were here!" The BBQ Bunch

So who invited you to this?

Wish you all were here! Who ARE all these people?

Is there more wine?

A little less Rum, a little more cheese?

T-Bone was right about Tom Strange!

Hey! Rich and I are here at Ex10's house for the pre-BBQ. Some people are already here. Still waiting on some others. The real shindig starts tomorrow. About 11 of us so far. Chrispy

This is Richard Chrispy & I were deeply involved with Momentus and the sponsorship team in Houston in the mid 90's. What started out as a good experience for both individuals and the church community eventually dissolved into chaos - in my opinion. Lots of blame to go around. But to me the people/the community got off track by focusing in two areas - away from Jesus and onto the training experience; and on the negatives in people while ignoring the positives, the gifts in peoples lives. We had one experience with some gifted health care professionals and volunteers who wanted to get rid of a troublesome woman at their facility for a weekend - so we agreed and they drove her over with her 20 pill bottles. She was almost incoherent and any amount of lgat training on her would have been useless. So we asked her what she did - what was her gift? She shared this and we happened to have a point of contact with her gifting and we put her to work. She blossomed immediately into a coherent and vibrant person for the rest of the weekend. She became a good friend. Our friends who sent her over could not believe it when we told them. Will this solve all mental emotional and physical problems? No. But I remind myself there is another way to work with people - accentuate the positives, focus on their gifts and let people contribute. Good positive work rooted in a person's gifts is a wonderful way to help a person blossom. Sorta like love, joy, peace, gentleness, and what are the rest? It's kinda like the kids in the sandbox who had a fight but lay it aside and just get back to the joy of playing. Jesus said something about being little children didn't he? Now I wonder how I can turn this into a weekend training and make money off of it? (joking)

Wow, what a humorous thread. But I am also so sorry to hear that some of you had bad experiences with the Colon Cleanse. I heard about the cleanse when I was 17. Our branch coordinator in 1972, gave me GreenLIFE (the little green pills of sprouted cereal grains, not just alfalfa) for my pregnancy. I had morning sickness really bad. Years later when I was out of the Way, I came across it again and became a distributor. Grace Bliss, who promoted the cleanse in the Way, died only a few years ago at the age of 94. She was something! I am not sure how the Corps was taught to do the cleanse, but I know several people who did it improperly and that is why they were terribly ill during it. I doubt the the Way provided all the supplements that you are supposed to be taking throughout the day for the week you are on the cleanse. These include, GreenLIFE, Vitamin C, Wheatgerm Oil, and sometimes Beet tablets. It is important to follow the directions, do the daily enemas or colemas and most of all, alleviate STRESS. I cannot imagine being able to do this in the Way Corps! I feel wonderful while doing it. And even better when I am done. I have never felt weak or ill. I do the cleanse about every other year. If anyone wants more details, please PM me. Happy cleansing! Chrispy
