Where shall they go, what shall they do...? I don't think STFI is gonna let a dozen or so unemployed "prophets" scour the countryside for sustenance, or recognition, for that matter. The only change I forsee is in name only. Call them "friends of the STFI" or something..

Now that he doesn't have to sweat as hard, maybe ole rosie will find something more important for him to do, like cleaning up oil spots and chewing gum in the parking lots.. wouldn't suprise me, anyway.

from their "research", looks more like they always dotted their t's and crossed their i's.

How do you explain it when somebody does not receive the healing, that really "deserves" it? The idea that the "green light" is ALWAYS on to minister.. that you ASSUME that that is the primary will of God.. I have a few reservations about that concept. A lot of times, it just doesn't work.. and I have seen people trying to cast out spirits that were not there, to begin with..

Only one that seems not to fit, on the SURFACE. How well they could hide the problems.. get REALLY sick? You were outa there.. Emotionally distraught? You were "possessed".. Easier to throw someone out than to explain the discrepency between their doctrine of health and prosperity and reality.

Both Wiarton Willie and General Beuregard Lee concur with Phil this year. kinda looks like a southern general, doesn't he.. with this much certainty, I'll probably be shovelling snow in June..

Yep.. NO SHADOW, and the first time in how many years! Anybody watch? He looked rather feisty, his "handler" was having a tough time of it. Early spirng, hooray.. maybe Phil got on the Al Gore global warming team.. I haven't seen what Phil's southern counterpart said yet.. anybody hear?

Well.. one day. Crowds have arrived.. imagine getting a glimpse of Phil is like getting tickets for the Rolling Stones..

Hey Bumpy, I found some people that might be able to help you out. All you have to do is supply the volunteers (victims) :) How to build your very own cult

That was about what I was going to ask.. I knew him in Morgantown WVA along with brother and family. Haven't heard anything for years..

Goodnight, Senor Bumpy.. sweet dreams :)

Mr 123, if I have your permission to add: "and couldn't function in a real world job if their life depended on it.." Hey, maybe Wikipedia could use some of this stuff.. :)

"The Universe" "A square mile of farmland in Podunk Ohio. Contains old farm buildings, one National Home, and several dilapidated buildings and trailers. One of them resembles an auditorium"

well.. I don't know if the show is over. As far as CES/STFI is concerned, it is up to THEM, in my opinion. A lot of us pray that they would be restored. I think that is largely up to them. Same for TWI. Every passing day though, I see the likelihood slowly evaporating.

I've heard of the caffeine thing.. question. Does it give you like a super caffeine "rush"?

Yep.. they are wearing it like an albatross around their neck..

I agree. In a lot of ways, I think they start out like a mom and pop business, you know the boss, you belong.. wages aren't too bad, there are some benefits, and they don't work you all the way down to the bone. Then they retire and sell the business. Little church in the home, or on the block, then they start to think.. "geeze, this is so cool, EVERYBODY oughta have it.." Yeah. They HAD it, PERHAPS, when they were small.

Two days.. Yeah, I think they have streaming video.. I was looking for the link, but it appears that their server is down at the moment. I can hear the crowds gathering, some angrily chanting, "No shadow, no shadow, no shadow..."

I don't know. The most meaningful discourses I've had have been with a hand full of people around here- a few on GS, but the most meaningful have been with local people in my community. My thoughts are that if you take a small work that is really enjoyable, maybe getting some genuine results, hang a sign on it, and try to force it to go "big time", all the rules change. No longer are you free to give, you are REQUIRED to PERFORM. Lately, I think small is a good thing..

"WE have the best package around.." "WE know da word.." "WE WE WE." Pride goes before a fall.. The next generation won't even know who JL IS, or was.. Or MG, or JS.

Sprawled Out, I thought you put them in Cryostasis.. Just a little problem that a couple hundred gallons of liquid nitrogen can't fix.. :)

(crickets singing in the background..) Tough crowd..

I've know that for years.. kinda like, something's rotten in proverbial Denmark.. Bumpy, here's your hug: (((((( Bumpy )))))))) My initial thought was that organizations and/or leadership really overestimate themselves, CES being a good example. Really.. I don't think they can bring new light like hasn't been known since ages past, automatically be able to heal practically anybody who crosses their path, have the Creator's inside skinny on people's lives at a whim, or in general, have a one-size-fits-all walk for the lord, that people are "nuts" not to take up the offer.. But the same thing applies to me. Most of the time, I feel like I'm lucky enough just to take care of myself, and PERHAPS a FEW people around me. Some people hit the "big time".. but they are few and far between.

Anybody notice- if you hold the mouse cursor at the right place, you can make her cross her eyes?
