When my dad was able to leave the little community.. sure, he loved the place. He'd go back to visit with his mother and others he loved.. but when the war hit.. and he was in the first draft.. he never really went back. He chose to raise his two sons at least three hundred miles away, and in a city. The old homestead was regarded as a "camp".. a place you go to hunt and fish, enjoy the surroundings without too many modern conveniences, swim and take baths in the river, and then come back.. very interesting. I think that WWII, and the G.I. bill brought a lot of people out of these static, isolated places.. so what does this have to with good old J.L.? I dunno. I think maybe.. he's looking for others like him.. maybe in a spiritual sense, he wants to marry his sister.. or at least to sell her his "newfangled"(?) class..

I would call it more a playground designed for close inbreeding. There have been places like that, and still are in the world.. Some of my ancestors came and settled the land. Not too many other folks around.. Not much travel. It was a big deal to get where you were at to begin with.. not much socializing.. other than with the local tribe.. first and second cousins and the like. one farming settlement died out mainly because the men were susceptible to heart failure at a young age. Like 39, 42, and not many lived passed 55. It wasn't until they dispersed and mixed with the rest of the population that their offspring started living just a *tad* longer.

It wouldn't take much to overthrow her. Just a few discrete, quiet conversations.. unless they are terrified, knowing not whom they can really trust. I would want to find out. What's the worst that could happen? I mean.. you're what.. fifty some years old, the kids are grown up, educated, (hopefully) moved on out of the house, or trailer, or whatever you're "living" in.. I mean.. one could live in a trailer almost anywhere. Can't be worse than where you're at..

leaching miseries.. I won't say any more. At least tonight.. then again.. anybody else have words morph like this? If I look close enough the original words are still there..

The last time I looked at the title the t in teaching turned into an l. is there some significance to this, or is my mind just making stuff up.. just a *minor* hallucination..

Hmm. Maybe appearances are everything..

If you don't mind me adding.. if one actually sees God's light, for a fraction of a second and manages to live through the experience.. one just MIGHT come to the conclusion that they can't exactly carry it..

Why teaching ministries everywhere? I think mainly because the overhead is so low. There is such a low, low cost of doing "business". Rehash pfal, or parts of it.. it's CHEAP. With a computer and printer, it is quite CHEAP to produce another knockoff of a knockoff. At least an "original(?)" work to mass produce. Then it's off to the local printing service! They make it cheaper to mass produce. What are the typical costs? Two, or three cents per page? A seventy page syllabus would cost say.. $2.10. add a folder, cheaply manufactured in China for $1.85 and per participant, per class, the overhead totals about.. $4.05. Maybe I'm underestimating.. the cost could be closer to $9.50, depending on how "illustrious" one wants it to look. I mean, all the printer guy has to do is collate. The seller could punch the holes and assemble the folders. Or have volunteers do it.. Minimum "donations" of about $95.00 accepted. Or even $125.00. Plus whatever gets tossed in the cornucopia as it passes by one during class.. No real cost for "research".. no real overhead in that regard. Ah yes.. low overhead. If one can keep one's weenie in one's own pants.. might be difficult for a little-itty-bitty-manogawd. Don't make TOO MANY outrageous claims. Listen to what the lawyer told you on "free legal advise night".. Low overhead.. no cost for supplies to feed the needy.. No cost to actually DO SOMETHING..

Neither was loy- maybe not with a degree mill doctorate, but he did sport a degree mill corps grad and ordination papers. I don't remember him giving anyone else much credit for his "research". Like the time he came up with the "new light" about the purpose of the Sphinx. I had previously read practically the same thing word for word in Bullinger's Witness of the Stars..

That's largely what I meant by twice-stolen.. Now it's a refurbished version of a refurbished version..

I've actually had people tell me.. "We like YOU.. but the rest of the outfit, blecch.." I should have listened at the time.. The last half dozen "leaders" in the state and branch.. would make your worst impression of a nun appear like a warm, kind-hearted soul in comparison. Then there was the guy who ran the state.. his greatest claim to fame was learning in the corps (from whom, I have no idea..) not to mix his bread and vegetables at the same meal, as to prevent gastric and intestinal attacks from da adversary. No kidding.. he had a dull, stupid look in his eyes, fondly speaking of his bread and vegetables.. he's probably on the current prez's cabinet now..

Have you considered that "they" may feel the same about your organization? You know. "some of them are nice.. loving.. helpful.. but for the MOST PART.. they are a bunch of nazified control freaks.." or words to that effect.

Charging for classes.. the main objection I have to STFI, or any other offshoot charging for classes, is they are charging or accepting a "donation" for twice-stolen material. For the most part, anyway. It would be not unlike selling an aged, yet stolen motor vehicle. One carefully refurbishes it, paints it a different color.. changes a little of the vocabulary, slightly restructures the order the material is presented.. paints over the title and names it Living in god's power, or something sorta like that. It's still a stolen vehicle. "Acquired" from a previous "owner" who "acquired" it the same way.. wanna buy a good used seminar? Title? Who needs a title.. The sad part of this is that "pfal" is essentially their bread and butter.

How do you know that you know.. I dunno. Looking to another to hear the voice of god.. maybe that's the whole problem.. If the Creator doesn't have anything worthwhile at the moment to tell somebody.. what is the difference if others guess, mutter and stammer nonsense.. and often the message is muddied with religious hogwash..

I hope you don't find it too odd friend.. almost everything regarding the old religion seems strange..

soooo.. herr victoid even plagiarized his own dog's name..

aha... gasp.. cough..

You seem to have a lot of assumptions here..

I've heard you shouldn't eat Muesli because it may harbor Familia spirits..

And I wonder how they managed to get an (unchallenged) trademark "WOW Ambassadors" and "L.E.A.D."..

Then there are the exceptions.. Gotta have the right name I guess..

Isn't a great deal of the book about training a dog to hunt with firearms being discharged at close range? I dunno. I can see where it could be useful in da way. As in, training certain cabinet members to not bolt and run to the door when linder accidentally discharges his firearm during some kind of "confrontation"..

well.. most *major* corporations have some kind of protocol to handle something like that.. like an unarmed person receiving "treatment" on the wrong end of a firearm.. In twi's case, I wonder how far down the list "call an ambulance" or "call the authorities" is listed.. probably depends on the circumstances. You know, "revelation" given only once can change..

I wonder if they have some kind of "emergency plans" in place in case linder accidentally discharges the handgun..
