I wonder how many reaming sessions they've had with the little sowers participants because they don't pay the mini mogster and company the "right" amount of RESPECT? after all *he* "sacrificed" ( academic integrity, good sense and a possible profession for all this) "get it right or we'll just send you all home.." I can almost hear this junk at times.. if anyone knows any different, now's the time to speak up..

Yeah.. nice people.. what I wonder is what they promised the kid that suckered him into this.. or maybe they just mentally beat the daylights out of him daily, "informing" him of his "destiny".. I think every human being is otherwise normally "nice".. but like the tee shirt I once saw, "Instant a**h*le, just add alcohol".. I'd rewrite it: "instant monster, just add enough worship, and unbridled adulation.." I think it's over and above any kind of "love bombing" any of us ever succumbed to.. and if one offers anything else.. he has no need for one..

I actually had some respect for him once.. once the family was out of der vey.. in the "real world".. actually having to get along with "normal" people..getting a degree from a real, legitimate university.. it looked like he and the family were moving on in life.. "getting over it".. then he hooks up with CFF.. and that in itself isn't the problem I think.. but I think for him and crowd, I don't think it went far enough- it didn't offer enough-enough unbridled control over people's lives.. not a big enough authoritarian position.. now he's hooked up with goons who pump his ego and are living off of his heritage and carefully chosen name.. I've gone from having respect for this individual to having an extreme urge to urinate on his heritage.. I guess an "elder" oughter not think such thoughts, ey? I wish they'd give me reason to think something better..

more like.. "to inflict physical castigation so as to lower one's resistance to der verd as it hath notter been known since da first century.." and always living on the "edge".. not knowing if arbitrarily, one will be sent packing.. sent on hazardous journeys.. hitchhiking across the country with only twenty bucks in your pocket, which one MUST bring back intact, and ON TIME.. and I BET they check the serial number on it.. putting absolutely UNQUALIFIED, reckless, arrogant FOOLS in charge of a situation which could potentially (and sometimes actually DID) have disastrous consequences to "God's People".. that's what a system of little or no accountability produced once I asked nice once.. more than once. "What are you doing that is any bit different than what the parent organization did?" "who are you accountable to, other than your own egotistical little selves.."

I wonder if that includes a diet of beans and millet, five hours of sleep at night (at best) and suprise "fun runs" at 3AM.. and LOTS of chopping firewood, clearing land.. nobody is saying though. Leave me in the dark, and I can have a pretty good imagination.. unfortunately, it turns out to be correct most of the time..

I actually heard in the old organization.. "whadya need a retirement account for.. just trust in gawd.. da word's all you need.." if (or when) the economy really tanks.. their fortune will have the same value as mine.. the bigwigs in that "organization" who can't fend for themselves.. will be out on the streets.. look what they did to the mrs.. and that was in GOOD times..

Yes, I know him.

I agree. twi is basically decimated, with little hope of recovery. Paw, if there comes a time again that there is a real, genuine, substantial NEED for a site like this to expose the evils of der vey, I'm sure somebody will step up to the plate.. probably in ten or fifteen years or more, after the sowers have gone through a few "disgruntled" "followers"..

just wonder.. maybe just a small point, but if GS shuts down, doesn't that make any arguments over the editorial process as some would say, a moot point? :)

Yep.. there's "work to be done" ya know.. us old horses just can't put in the same day's labor anymore..

ah yes.. the age factor. Young, healthy.. full set of teeth.. a real portrayal of the "more abundant life"..

Heyyy.. that reminds me of how big they were when I was young.. after trapping, shooting or otherwise bagging one of these, it would take three or four grown men to drag it home.. enough meat to feed the village for a week.. no no no.. this kind of thing just BEGS for more imagination..

I think they aren't on any different path than sellers of practical kaballah, magic or witchcraft.. USING "holy" material to get POWER.. If it "works", it's just another sewer line to corruption. there exist forums for people who "escaped" kaballistic "cults" that look not much unlike greasespot..

what makes me wonder.. he made it through high school, four years of college.. and apparently survived the "rigors" of intellectual honesty.. now he reveres these stolen, mere plagiaristic shells of the originals- the pfal "material" like they are the wordogawd.. puts them on display.. I don't think the situation is too much unlike one of capone's grand kids publicly boasting about inheriting one of the brothels.. thinking it's his "ministry" or something.. but here he is.. throws his academic integrity to the wind.. in my opinion. unless it's in the paperwork somewhere.. I think he has no performance or publishing rights to any of the material whatsoever. What further surprises me is that der vey hasn't moved against him in a legal manner.. there is rather bad blood between them and pops.. maybe they are waiting for the organization to get big enough to make it worth the effort..

Interesting that everyone here who "happens by" that little organization gets the same sour feeling in the pit of the stomach.. He gives out an email address. Fire a few questions his way.. like what are you doing any different, what kind of safeguards are in place to protect people from the practices of the old organization.. and if one knows him in real life, it doesn't go past two or three volleys.. I'd venture to say now one would be met with silence.. being turned into a living shrine to herr "doctor" kinda closes ones ears to any form of honest criticism..

Apparently he's not the only one: maybe it's a bizarre hazing at the university or something.. freshman squirrels, dyed up in school colors.. forced to sing the school song.. *all hail the orange and purple..* *crush em team, till they look like slurple..* sorry, not too many words rhyme with purple.

but then maybe the answer is simple: purple is one of the school colors. The Squirrel is just dressing up for the glee squad, or whatever they call it..

This is what some people do who have a little too much time on their hands I suppose... http://www.scarysquirrel.org/profiles/purple/index.html

to which I say.. not unlike another post in another context.. "the situation is URGENT. NOW might be a good time.. " don't feel pressured or anything though.. well.. God bless you friends.. whatever may come..

Yeah.. and if I've made a few assumptions.. what the mods must do, let them do it quickly..

*so the matter is on the floor for discussion* *no discussion?* *very well.. all in favor, say aye..* Paw.. if you invite me to the wedding I'll behave myself..

I'll second that..

Happy Birthday friend!

Dot, apparently they have learned (or evolved depending on your belief) to know which buttons to push, which promises to make.. Perhaps they are just as psychologically conditioned and trained to make these promises as those who accept them..

Yep.. and often they stay in the marriage until the one or few reasons to stay go away.. and they often just stay quiet, don't stir up "trouble", and they simply exit.. I am beginning to think it's a failed system, and some people just hold up better under it..
