I have an older computer at home with win2000 on it. has about 90 meg of memory, so it "thrashes" about quite a bit. What I'd like to do.. put one of my unused cheap 2 gig flash drives on it if I could figure out where the virtual memory settings are, and designate space on the flash drive instead of the hard drive.. I suppose the thrashing would occur so fast I wouldn't even notice it anymore.. and it wouldn't sound so annoying. I understand that the flash drive has at least the reliability of a hard drive, as far as number of read and/or write cycles.

Just bringing this to the top. Really, it's almost painless, as easy as voting..

I sincerely believe those who covered it all up have as much as or even more blood on their hands than the perpetrators.

I remember at a "weekend in der verd".. maybe it was a trick with the lights, but on stage, the vicster looked like he literallly glowed.. is it possible, he could wear a figurative, or even literal suit of "light" when it was convenient? Makes me wonder what kind of entity we really were following..

it was one of the "manifestation" moves. kinda funny looking, kneel down close to sitting position, quiver and shake.. I'd better not speak any more graphically than that. Don't want the moderators to get me in the back room and work me over here..

Maybe I'm just evil today.. I thought you were referring to the little s.i.t. "move".. kinda looked like he was stuck on something..

Oh, you mean the atheletes of da spirit "s.i.t." move? Asherah pole, about four feet tall? :biglaugh: hahhahahahahhaha... *cough, wheeze...*

I think when it goes beyond able to agree to disagree.. especially after years.. something has to give. Some people post things just to get a reaction.. have about as much tact as stopping a funeral procession to argue with the survivors about the cause of death.. it's not meaningful dialogue to begin with. Have to cut your losses somewhere..

Some personality types demand confrontation on one level or another.. why feed it? It was like back in old way days.. we were told the debil would try to thwart our efforts, try to drill holes in our brains with the wrong kind of doctrine and the like. How many here, other than myself thrived on confrontation? I think for some it's not a learned behavior, more like it's wired in.. just a thought.

"How TWIish of you" I don't think so. If somebody came to my door selling what I deemed (in my opinon of course) a toxic brew of leftovers from twi days past.. I'd politely say "go try to sell crazy someplace else".. if they persisted.. I'd shut and lock the door.. same for me I suppose. If I'm driving you nuts.. turn me off. Won't hurt my feelings or anything..

It just seems.. if one views another's opinion as toxic and despicable, and conditions reach an impasse with no hope of any kind of reasonable reconciliation, what other option is there?

I dunno. There's always a solution.. maybe a massive group "ignore" would work..

Bride, now that's just what I needed.. *ah, ooh, a little lower.. no, up a half an inch.. ahhhhhh.."

unfortunately, his true character was rather well hidden. I sincerely believe the few of his yes men who knew, consented, and/or partook, and subsequently covered up, have as much blood on their hands as he did.. if not more. They are like a blight spreading over the land.. what they grow, poisonous and inedible.. makes one want to drop a life, a livelihood and profession, and go join an offshoot, doesn't it? one day I'll tell you how I REALLY feel..

Instead of posting a bunch of stuff and derailing yet another thread, I figured resurrecting this might be a little more appropriate and easier.. If one is on some kind of crusade, or "witnessing" campaign.. who should one choose to exemplify the "benefits" of what one claims- who should be the "poster child"? would one choose: Capone, the model citiizen, and advocate against violent crime, mayhem, and racketeering.. Jeffrey Dahmer, Chef Extraordinaire, and nutrition expert for the advancement of proper diets for all Americans.. then there's the victard.. model "minister" and family man, an example of intellectual honesty, self-control, and sexual morality for menogawd everywhere..

Don't get me entirely wrong though.. I wouldn't dream of arguing with the fact that the sun appears in the morning sky every twenty four hours. It's just, I wouldn't take the vicster's word on it alone, if he rose from the fountain and swore on a stack of bibles or something..

I may have come CLOSE to saying something like this. For my own personal life, I feel vic's sin and recklessness invalidates everything I learned from him in pfal, all the seminars and stuff.. why? If it is sooooo wonderful, how come didn't it have a lick of effectiveness in the moral fabric of the guy who supposedly came up with it? "Conversion" or "new birth" in his own words is supposed to be a life CHANGING experience.. other men have come from corruption, lives of crime.. and claimed "change", and.. LIVED UP TO IT. but vic, was he "illuminated"? I don't think so.. I think he merely found enough light to try to SELL. I honestly don't think he even believed that there really is a God to begin with.. I think his "voice from heaven" and snowy gas pumps story was merely a falsehood and part of the scam.. otherwise, if he REALLY had an experience with the Almighty, he wouldn't lay his filthy hand on one single sister in christ.. not one. I wouldn't believe the claim that the sun is guaranteed to rise every morning based on his word.. I'd have to hear it or experience it somewhere else.

Hmm. I wonder what would happen if OSHA paid them a visit.. plus I wonder about the legality of trade of labor for *free* room and board.. Naw, I wouldn't wish that on them. I may be concerned, but I'm not hateful or vindictive or anything..

I really think they have delusions of grandeur.. Do they REALLY think they are running a modern-day "school of the prophets"? I really don't think these guys could "prophecy" their way out of a wet paper bag..

Yep.. who taught them "how to work".. even with "free" room and board.. I'd imagine it's not exactly Hilton quality accomodations.. millet and hot dogs three times a day.. who knows.. even with a slightly better menu, didn't they used to call something like that slavery? Work to do, extreme "adventures" to go on.. like they say.. "work will set you free.."

Ya know.. der vey taught that "spirit is thicker than blood".. I've been looking for that kind of connection with other "beings" like me all of my life.. maybe it's just all an illusion.. maybe it's just not there. came close, once.. :)

I just wonder.. when WOULD you think of those *men* as monsters? What would it take? suppose your own mother, or wife, or sister, or niece.. came home from "church camp".. absolutely crushed to the core.. "touched" by the "manogawd"s" hand.. passed from one mogster's bed to another.. they aren't exactly sure how it happened.. but the head honcho tried to justify it with scripture, and threats.. and the betrayal sent one to the "loonie bin".. and another to suicide? And you know these folks.. they were bright, intelligent, and cheery one moment.. full of life and hope.. goals in life.. the next, they are either sullen, terrified and depressed, or plain gone from the world.. would THAT have an impact on who you deemed a "monster"? I'd like to remind you.. those SISTERS in Christ, they are supposed to be like family- SUPPOSED to be like brothers, sisters, uncles, cousins.. maybe that's too much to ask another human being..

Good point WW..If I may add: In Physics class, if the teacher is an idiot, the students suffer though perhaps not irreparably, and the Pysics teacher gets canned. If he or she is bad enough, it's not likely they will get a similar job, anywhere. In a "bible class", or denomination, if the teacher is an idiot, or a womanizer, or an abuser of the students or church members in one fashion or another he gets fired. But no problemo. Just start one's own brand of religion in a cornfield somewhere.. I don't know about you, but the savagery, insanity and despicible actions of the "teacher" (and that can be questioned as well) negated anything I got out of it.. the "man" belonged in a straight jacket, not on a pulpit.. :)

A shock collar might be appropriate..

Screening process, hmm. Ever think that just possibly, it's designed to filter out those who won't put up with bull sheet anymore, or those who won't abs to their organization.. or have a few embarrassing questions? If they have REALLY changed, I'm sure they wouldn't mind answering a few of the questions I've presented here, if you would be kind enough to forward them along. They DO know who I am. I wasn't a real big hotshot or anything, but I've given them more than enough clues to know exactly who I am. Be forewarned, shiftthis. It may not go well for you.. in recent years, people in the way have been confronted with things they've posted here, some probably with things they haven't.
