I am aware of only one corrupt country on earth that punishes the descendants of a convicted criminal. When a man or woman commits a crime, not only is the criminal punished, but also their children and their children. If you should be thrown in prison for stealing, that was not the end of it. Your sons and daughters, and their daughters and sons would also be incarcerated. In today’s laws one must be convicted of a crime THEY have committed. Their children have no worry of being held responsible for the sins of their fathers. But, a so called loving God tells us we are sinners because OUR parents sinned against Him thousands of years ago! Someone I never met did a boo boo way back when, and you and I are being held responsible for it. And if we don’t acknowledge ourselves as a complete sinner to this loving God, he will drop us like a hot potato, and send us to hell to be tormented for ever. Yikes! There is no greater dictator on the planet than this so called “loving God.”

That's correct WordWolf.

"Watch this video." Sometimes you just have to roll with it. HERE

P.S. Some of the women victims of VPW's sexual abuse spoke out in Karl Kahler's book, still availalbe to purchase at The Cult That Snapped.

OK, next show. This show is not a current show. HOWEVER, a current show can be considered either a sequel or a spin-off of this show. If you're paying attention, there's at least one continuity error if you do, since two characters, in effect, switch ages, the older becoming the younger. The current show has had more than one season, and has had fast-food promos and tie-ins with it from one chain. The original show may be well-known, but it is NOT a recent show by any reasonable standard for "recent".

"Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count."

This one has had airplay during my lifetime! IIRC, this is "Lay Lady Lay" and was by Bob Dylan.

Um, any chance this is "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask"???

My most immediate concern is the outsourcing of one's thinking- to AI, or to mindlessly swallowing and regurgitating everything from a single source, whether online or offline. The idea of opening a "discussion" -on a subject where I'm concerned people aren't doing their own thinking and discussing- with a link for a video to watch strikes me as...well, a little ironic. In another context, I'd complain about someone who insisted he was right- and "explained himself" by posting a link and essentially assigning homework for anyone who wanted to know why they should take him seriously. (No, not now, but it's happened before on the GSC.) I remember "discussions" and I'm a little surprised that we've gotten a number of "discussions" where the "discussion" started with "read this book" or "watch this video" and not actually DISCUSSING anything. I'm a little dismayed that people think this is perfectly fine.

Their being nice folks, to me, is beside the point. I'll bet they really are very nice, just as many people were when I was involved back the day. I hope and think I was "nice" too but I was totally misled, deceived, and gaslighted by VPW regarding himself, the Bible, and his organization. So in my opinion, being nice does not mean the BOT folks are not misled or worse, that they are not in denial of facts that would make most nice people shudder. In Whiteside's book they are reprinting, if you are clear-eyed when reading it, you can't miss VPW's narcissism, his conman fast-talk, etc. But I suppose when you're still loyal to the image he wanted people to buy into, you can't be so clear-eyed. I sure bought into what's in that book when it was first published in 1971 when I was in the Corps. The questions that come to mind for the current BOT are many, but here are just two: 1. How do they explain why VPW was a great man of God, appointed by God (as Way leaders still assert) given the many women he abused, for example? I realize there is only one woman who put that in writing, in a book called Losing The Way (which is out of print now) but I assure you I personally know the names of many women who were in his sex ring, but they told me in confidence, so I am not at liberty to say their names here. Some have come out on social media, I think. 2. How do they explain why they sell VPW's plagirized materials as if those books and teachings originated with him? For instance the holy spirit book he copied almost word for word from J. E. Stiles book on that subject, as well as the book How to Enjoy the Bible by Bullinger. (These facts have been shown over and over from many sources. One good source besides my own book, Undertow, is John Juedes on YouTube for instance this video about the four crucified with Christ teaching that VPW took from Bullinger. The number four is arrived at by a fundamentalist approach to the Bible, a way of harmonizing the gospels that ignores the facts about each gospel's purpose, historical background and the men who wrote each one. For what it's worth, here you go:

Nice use of the inverted question mark, but no. Earlier movie. "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." "You are the greatest lover I've ever had." "Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone." "Oh don't, Boris, please. Sex without love is an empty experience." "Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best." "So who is to say what is moral?" "Morality is subjective." "Subjectivity is objective." "Moral notions imply attributes to substances which exist only in relational duality." "Not as an essential extension of ontological existence." "Can we not talk about sex so much?" George

Teddy Roosevelt was our youngest president, but I don't know anything about his wife. George

Now THIS one I've heard before. Not quite coming to me, though. George

WordWolf is up here too.

¿Don Juan de Marco

No. She wasn't one of the early first ladies. After Lincoln.

A different song then. His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean And you're the best thing that hes ever seen

Of course... what I do with these partial silver coins is go to a local coin dealer or coin show and cash them in for current silver melt value at the time.

Coins in circulated condition have significantly reduced value as collectables.

Go to bank(s) where you have an account, and ask for Kennedy Half Dollars. They may have some as people bring them in all the time, thinking they are only worth 50 cents. Maybe they are, but maybe they aren't. Employees usually are silent but will offer what they have in stock and sometimes you may get back a variety of coins containing valuable silver. Make sure to ask if there's any around from ALL tellers in the bank because one teller may have some while another may not. These are the current melt values as of September 19, 2025: 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar (90% silver): $15.50 1965-70 Kennedy Half Dollar (40% silver): $6.32 1971-2001: $0.50

WordWolf recently alerted us to the potential dangers of AI, so I thought it'd be appropriate to start a thread on everything about AI with WordWolf's gracious help. It's here and vibrant. This Google video popped up on my screen only this morning:

This is how most of our ladies grew up At the country club dances They learned how to handle the boys Gently but firmly They learned to say no There were four more young men Who were waiting in the color and the noise.

No.
