I have to agree with Garth in that, specifically, the Sanhedren convinced the Roman authorities to kill Jesus and even inspired mob crowds against him. That is the biblical record, so actually, CERTAIN Jews killed Jesus and NOT ALL Jews killed Jesus, along with CERTAIN Romans.

To say that Gibson is anti-semitic is like saying that those who do movies on World War II are anti-German or anti-Japanese, or those that do movies on the American Revolution are anti-British. We are just dealing with historical records and they are what they are.

But it is true that as far as to those that believe in Christ and are Christians, the belief is that Christ died for our sins and that we all sinned and came short of the glory of God. So we all killed Jesus in that respect since he had to die to save us.

I never knew either Jim or Ellen, but I can feel the grief on the pages of Greasespot. It makes me grieve now, knowing I have loved ones and the pain of them leaving. At least for now, until Jim sees her once again. And that may be sooner than we could ask, think or believe.

God's most wonderful blessings to Ellen. God's most heartfelt blessings to Jim and his family.

My wife and I will be praying for her tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.

I am so sorry to hear about Corey. It was so sad to hear of his young age. May God's greatest blessings be with him and his family at this time and always.

The Massachusetts law when written was intended for a man and a woman because at the time it was written it was inconceivable that a marriage would take place any other way. The Massachusetts Supreme Court absolutely knew this and instead of interpreting the law as it should have been interpreted, became the activist jurist body they were and "re-wrote" it to include their own political beliefs without changing a word of the language.

It once was that I used to just tolerate homosexuals if they kept to themselves and did their own thing. I could have cared less. But now, I am the opposite.

I have had enough.

I am opposed to gay marriage. I am opposed to gay civil unions. I am opposed to any more protection by the law based on sexual preference. I believe now in the right to discriminate against them and to practice it, because it is the right thing to do. I believe it must be now said they are either spiritually "off" or mentally ill. If it is due to a genetic flaw, then it is just like any other genetic flaw, such as cystic fibrosis or Downs syndrome, and the American medical and psychiatric communities must be compelled, and forced if necessary, by law, to find the problem and the cure. I believe in re-enacting and re-establishing every sodomy law on the books dealing with homosexuality. Jailing them won't do any good, but gives great ground to close down and eliminate every gay bar and gay sexual establishment in the country. I believe in breaking up every "gay" community in the country. We should punish any lawmaker or publically elected or appointed official that backs anything even remotely related to homosexual agendas.

I have lost what tolerance I have had, and that wasn't much. My sympathy is gone. Anger has replaced it.

Rottie Grrrl:

Terry Bradshaw was with the Pittsburgh Steelers and not the Patriots. Great thought, though. Had he been one of the two Patriots back then, he would probably be a Greasespotter now, wondering why the hell he did a spot for them.

Ha! Then again, Greasespot would have marked and avoided him for that.

I thought I saw LCM staring at a lot of guys once, then yelling at them. Since he gets his rocks off that way, or did, maybe he was thinking of them all naked. I don't know.

Thanks to all lifting me and my wife in prayer. Fred, I'll call later. I've been swamped. Just to let you all know who posted here, the blood appears to have stopped, the migraines seem to have subsided, my vision is better somehow, but I don't know what that is, and the abdominal pain is still there but very mild. I still have to get tests, but thanks be to God for all of you no matter what the results.

TWI by its teachings and practice has led many to commit suicide, so I say they do teach in an invisible way to kill for TWI. They just don't come out and say it.

I still don't believe that "gay" or homosexuality is the way nature intended. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, and I still believe you will see her again. Of that I am confident.

I will have to be going in for some tests soon. I've been having abdominal pain all over as well as a lot of short term memory loss. I've had some migraines come and go. My grandmother passed away of some abdominal cancer and I am not quite sure what has happened here. My wife is worried so I need some people to lift my wife Debbie in prayer. Right now she is okay but if the tests are not good, I don't know how she will handle it. I have a Will but I need to see that she can handle this if it is as bad as my grandmother's abdominal and ovarian cancer. Frankly, I hope I only have a bad ulcer because there has been some blood. But my wife is something really something to me, so please lift her. I would appreciate that.

I don't know if perjury can be done in a civil case. I suppose it can. If so, Rosalie is guilty of all kinds of perjury. I think the Peelers should go after that.

I'd probably try to get the entire International grounds, start from scratch, give all property back to the Wierwilles and lease it from them instead, open the firegrounds to visitors and treat it like the cemetary it is, and let CFF, CES, CBC, and whatever off-shoot there was use it again so long as they all get along. But all would be welcomed back and I would issue a formal apology in TWI's behalf whether they liked it or not. Then I would snatch and keep the big Way Corps seal.

Well, I have to give credit to Harve there. He paid his respects. That's a lot more than what others have done before.

If TWI charges anything, just the cost of room and board if at TWI. If not at TWI, the cost of hotels and such are borne by the attendee. The "registration" and "cost" of the class should already have been provided in the abundant sharing. Any costs higher than lodging and meals are a rip-off. The entire Advanced Class "Special" was only created to make money anyway and not teach anything new. It is a waste of time and people are better off spending Thanksgiving or any holidays at home and with family.

I kept a lot of it, but threw out the Way songbooks as I never could stand the singing in fellowship without music. It was boring. Another throw out was "Christians Should Be Preposterous" and "Christian Upchuck", I mean "Christian Etiquette".

Everyone is going to flame me for this...but, I hope VPW AND Martindale can be forgiven. That doesn't mean you still let Martindale or anyone still take advantage of anyone. But if they can be forgiven, so many more of us can be forgiven.

The best thing in my life was letting the bitterness die down a bit. I was already in Hell experiencing the frustrating bitterness of not being able to "get even". I have decided to let God be their judge. I want them both in Heaven. They won't be doing anything bad there, I am sure. I felt release in letting go and forgiving the Way. I don't visit them or let them push me around, you can be sure. But I cannot keep that bitterness in my heart. I can't. But I can sympathize and empathize with people that have a hard time forgetting or forgiving, especially the abused women.

A long time ago I was bugged for paying for the "honor" and the requirement of viewing the CFS class. I thought it sucked, and I am not using a pun here. It really blew. Again I am not using a pun here. What I meant to say was that it was pretty bad stuff and a waste of time and money. What say ye?

Sex?!!! That is such a disgusting habit!!! Why, my wife and I abstain from that for fear of going to Hell!!!!

Well, she abstains from that to keep me from getting any. I just go into denial about it to justify my lack of it...

Oh, Oh, she's back, it is that time of month, no not the menstrual time, the other time...

Oh My God, I am being attacked! My clothes are being ripped off!

I am so sorry to try to put Christmas into TWI. Cannot be done. I was contacted by Way Productions. They want me shot.

It was 1992, my last year with the Way as I was a twig coordinator and the "Keep it simple" is the one that year. He was African-American. He was the gutsy guy to turn away from Martindale instead of take it in his face. Martindale then lost an entire black fellowship. LCM, what drives his intellect is beyond me...the guy wasn't even trying to run the meeting or criticize Martindale. He may have ripped his armband off when I wasn't looking. It was Larry Panarello that chased him.

Thanks, all. Your comments really blessed my life. To be frank, when I left I was half-believing I might become that Greasespot at midnight. I honestly was shaking when I made the decision to split. The harrassment put me into a corner since it seemed I couldn't escape it without leaving town, and at the time couldn't because I had no money because TWI had it. I pretty much gave it to them while in. I think the fear turned to anger and the anger into near violent reactions. Thank God nothing became of all that. God Bless You all here at GS. Reading your support really boosted me. The doubts are gone. I feel I can relax a lot about my past now.
