What REALLY amazes me, is in light of all of the plagiarism, abuse and worse coming to light, there are those from his old regime that want to shove all the skeletons back in the closet. ".. nothing more to see here, move along, move along.." Well, can't say it's a suprise exactly. Many of his staunchest supporters likely covered his a** then, no reason why not to now..

My vote is on the latter of the two.

Now at 205 active last 35 minutes.. and 177 are guests.. only 19 members plus several anonomous wascals.. 51 in about the vey, 47 are guests.. 49 in open.. 40 guests.. 33 in CES forum.. 26 are guests.. not one in tacks. that leaves about 60 of "whoever" milling about the lobby or something.. maybe they just need directions. ".. ah, the bathroom.. take the long hall, look for the second door on the left.."

Currently: 53 on CES 56 on Open 37 on about the vey 2 on prayer forum 2 on just plain silly. Probably not GW checking us out- only 1 in politcs and tacks..

234 users in the last ten minutes.. I still think it's somebody's psych class researching cult behavior

Here is a link to the United Presbyterian Church's finances last year- and this is TYPICAL of religious organizations. Thirty-three pages, independantly audited.. and "available"- to someone who is NOT EVEN A MEMBER of their church (me). PDF file, if you really want to see it.. They don't seem to be afraid that anyone out there will missuse or abuse the information.

Widespread misuse and abuse? What happened? Did somebody send a copy to the IRS or something?

Yeah WordWolf.. I remember that too. the "invitation" was extended to ANY standing PFAL grad. But I never knew anyone who even dared to ask.. didn't want to hurt Moggy's feelings ya know.. I'd send you a copy OM.. but I threw mine out about five years ago.

301.. sounds about right for the number of students in a psychology class at one of the big three or something.. the eyes of strange, eerie things may be upon us..

Hey.. whatever they put in your coffee this morning Satori.. can I have some?

I dunno.. it seems the only bit of press they can manage to muster up is HERE, at GSC. Not to minimize our concerns or interests, but that does speak to me of the failure of the CES as an organization. They've had over twenty years to make their mark.. Their last ditch effort with the personal prophecy gambit didn't stir up enough muck to get them mentioned in the local town news.. Well.. the matter MIGHT be fodder for Judge Joe Brown, or Judge Judy.. I usually don't watch TV court. But for that one, I'd make an exception..

Really. The practical demise of CES et al, and I didn't see even a murmer in the press. Reporters were NOT anxiously waiting outside of the board room, waiting for the announcement.. no press releases.. "(ahem) little known cult in Indiana today fired its CEO, after suffering a fit of arachnaphobia.." Nothing. Of course it has some relevance to us, because of our ties to CES's parent organization, and to those involved..

Socks, I think its more like a poorly constructed, or just plain old leaky boat, and only has the capacity of carrying one of the board at any one time over the lake without sinking. Problem: get all three over to the other side alive, with the thought: can't leave MG and JL alone, without MG bludgeoning JL. Can't leave JL and JS alone, without JL bludgeoning JS. Sounds like a problem for my Math 300 class..

Maybe the "individual" shouldn't give me a REASON to be biased..

It must have been a cold, blustery August day, the snow had not yet settled upon the pumps. VP was on his way to the dump with his "useless" documents, the gehenna, where the fires never cease. and he just HAPPENED to trip as he walked by a newfangled Xerox copier.. The wind and snow started to maddeningly whirl about- grasping the books of the MOG to be- lighting struck, hail.. sheep, cows and pigs, barns and gas pumps were swept up into the developing malestrom.. The xerox machine chewed relentlessly upon the swirling mass of debris.. and MIRACULOUSLY, the storm quit as soon as it started. There at vp's feet lay the foundation upon which to build his "ministry"..

Well.. that's one way to deal with your critics.. Sounds like the breakup of the Beatles.. the "sue me, sue you" blues.. "Well, JL, let's make it a lunch date. My lawyers will call your lawyers.."

That's why I call it blood money..

1. Stealing and Plagiarism are just plain wrong, unless a MOG/MOGETTE has a good reason.. 2. Adultery is verboten, unless a MOGGY has a "special need".. 3. Screaming, writhing and frothing at the mouth belong in an "institution", unless a leader has real "spiritual anger".. feel free to add or comment..

No joke..

... and the media is gathered, anxiously awaiting the big announcement.. but a hush falls upon the crowd, as JL himself makes an appearance.. "Ladies and Gentleman, our theme for the year: The promised land of the Prevailing Word, the Year of the Prevailing Prophecy.."

Naw, its not a purge. I do feel pretty good today.. Just all of the hawking these groups do for the greatest and bestest classes look more like a high motivation type informercial.. How they all can sell the same thing and claim it's different is beyond me. Haven't had their version? somethins wrong..

"Feet washing 103" Spend two weeks at a beautiful location, where you learn to perfect your skills. With many other likeminded and motivated believers, you will learn to avoid near violent and often sarcastic confrontation, by learning how to do it right, properly manicuring the MOG/MOGETTE'S Toesies. Here you will learn the inner hidden truths of Nail fungus, behold the inner sanctum, only seen by those who are properly qualified. Food(?) provided. A bargain, at $799.95.

"Move along, move along, nothing more to see here.." OK potato, you can have your thread back..

Yep.. all those years of witnessing, running classes, etc. as a VOLUNTEER.. ABS, etc.. and today, I don't have enough resources to bury myself in case of my uneventual demise.. a year or so ago, I told my kids- "just prop me up in a chair in the woods somewhere, I'll be OK. I'll just enjoy the scenery, watch the deer play.."

I know what would happen if "they" tried to establish some kind of legitimacy at the university I'm attending at the moment.. .... would hit the fan.. I'd see to it personally. Then a "donation" would probably fix their little "problem". Well.. that would be one way to take MY abs and get it put to a cause I'd a rather it went..
