QamiQazi

johniam, I will probably regret asking, but why do you say Lot snored?

Firebee, you may need to call Roto-Rooter.

As bodies of water go, it would have to be Halle Berry's, as she emerges from the waves in "Die Another Day." Buoyancy was never so misnamed. The girl is truly see-worthy. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

I had a roommate who snored, Way back when. She was a rip-snorting type, and her particular nasal-glottal combo sounded something like a tuba, the mouthpiece partially attached to the exhaust pipe of lawn mower, a little 2-cycle Briggs and Stratton job with the "choke" open full and the throttle all the way down. You could almost see blue smoke and smell oil burning when she got cooking! And she was the deepest sleeper. Those were the days. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Happy birthday, Matilda, and happy holidays. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Do you snore? Do you live with a snorer? If so is the snore in question:

Congratulations! Many happy returns. What does that mean? I don't know. But congratulations. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Dr. Wierwille practiced a kind of voyeurism, by observing the reactions of young people deliberately subjected to viewing hard-core porn while seated close together in a co-ed environment. Are there any psychologists out there who know the clinical or legal word for this kind of manipulation?

From "A Child's Garden Of Verse," re-edited by Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille of The Way International: "Old mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone But when she bent over old Rover took over and gave her a --- of his own." I've read some Greasespot articles and threads, but this thing makes me wonder what else was going on. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Sunesis, thank you for setting the record straight with honesty and compassion. I've forgotten a lot of the people I briefly knew during my time with The Way International, but I can remember Rochelle's smiling face as if it were yesterday. She was the good friend of a casual friend of mine. I never heard about the accident, or heard so little I forgot it. There should have been lawsuits against The Way for negligence, and putting those kids at risk. I know they or their parents probably signed releases, but one lawyer tells me that releases aren't worth much in a civil court. How many other former Corps kids are still coping with injuries they suffered in that accident? The Way International is a corporation and they bear the liability for these things, and for the pain and suffering of Rochelle's devastated family. They dumped her out on her own (to "mature" of all things - what was the Corps supposed to be about?) and when she couldn't go on, she took her own life and they smeared her name to cover their own tracks. How ugly those people are. How cruel. How heartless. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Hope you have a very happy birthday, TheEvan. QQ "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

Since you're already gone I can't give you any parting words. But if I'd had the chance I'd tell you this: don't look back. As it is, even if you do years from now, Rip Van Moderator will just be getting around to determining this post is not part of another plague of infernal attack polls. Wait a minute, it's as I feared. It's the polls that drove you away! God forgive me! They're leaving in droves! Woe is me, a sinner and a no good poll cat. excathedra, you're a good sport to have read this far. You will be greatly missed, by the ones who count. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

QamiQazi is an interpretive spelling of kamekazi which is the interpretive spelling of @#$#@ or however you write it in Japanese. It means "divine wind," which we know in the Greek (if only you could read it in the original) is pneuma hagion. During WWII in the Pacific, receiving the holy spirit Japanese style meant your ship was under attack. But before the conflict there was a greater spiritual meaning, or I like to think so. I also thought it went well with my belief that to gain something we must first lose it. Crazy idea, isn't it? I must have read it somewhere and it just stuck like gum to the shoe of my soul. I also love poetry and words and many levels of meanings. Life gets curiouser and curiouser, and so do I. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus

They insist? With friends like them, who needs The Way? Why not ask God to bring you the person who is best for you? You'll probably know it when you meet him. Either that or you could arrange a nice group wedding and just marry your Christian friends, as long as they are volunteering to be the head of your household. "You don't really live until you find something worth dying for." - Jesus
