They should have REALLY thought this thing through. They may have been able to get box 328 instead..

You'd think TWI would just forget about all the principles, and think of the money. I wonder how many copies of "da class" have made their way out of Belieze.. Cripe- even at $150.00 a crack, there are potentially thousands of individuals lined up just waiting for it. Perhaps even a few of us on greasespot, just to have it for some kind of "reference" for one reason or another.. Even with today's devaluated currency, they would generate a tidy sum. With the current slave labor "employed" at headquarters, overhead per each copy wouldn't top ten or fifteen dollars, you'd think. Whether or not you agree with it doctrinally or practically, you have to admit they are throwing their only marketable product down the hole.

Well, I would only guess that it is NOT illegal to import it.. mainly because we have not seen any lawyering on the part of TWI, at least YET. This PFAL on DVD really is old news- I think they've been at it for a couple of years now. TWI would've been on it "like a texan on a pork chop". If they could have. Or maybe they've just grown tired of all the legal shenanigans- who knows.

Perhaps- they COULD.

Belle, I can just imagine the first staff meeting he would "enjoy".. "and if you think you are EVER gonna take over, just know that I've crapped out men TWICE your size.."

I wonder if it is not too late for that. That'd probably be the last nail in their coffin..

I think the key phrase in all this is "seems to". I think that is where many actually went with "the revelation manifestations" in the ministry- some were convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that they had the inside skinny about EVERYTHING in your life. Usually it detailed "whose fault is it?" Usually they were dead wrong. I'm not saying that you can't have a real experience of this sort. I have a couple times, everything seemed to make sense- just doesn't seem to last very long..

Of course, they could spend another several million sending some high-falutin lawyers on a nice vacation in the bahamas trying to defend their honor, heh heh. That sure ought to go over real well with the few innies left..

I think I found it! You will find it on page six of this PDF file.. Apparently, the Belizean government does not recognize da class as even being a "publication"- because it is not published in sufficient quantities for the public. In the case here, the copyright holder does not publish it, AT ALL. About the only way TWI is gonna get control of the thing is to offer PFAL to the public once again. Until then, may they cry in their soup. Personally, I don't think TWI even has the resources to market the thing, at least to the level that the Belizean government would even remotely consider calling it a "publication".

Just wondering- "fear is believing", and "doubt, worry, fear issuing in unbelief"- was this one of Vic's original thoughts, or was this plagiarised also? If so, where did he get it?

I sure would hope so. Maybe there's still a little bit of human being behind the mask, after all.

I don't know about that.. to be fair, we could at least say he had the gracefulness of a brick in tights.

Perhaps the Japanese government should consider using more "environmentally friendly" methods, such as reviving Mothra or another one of Godzilla's nemesis- if they choose carefully, a close match may ensure that both monsters are destroyed, hence killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Interesting that his successors took it one step further- they did not rule by fear, they ruled by TERROR.

But really.. it would be FAR less embarrassing for them if they chose some representatives that have at least a LITTLE education. RECENT corps graduates need not apply. Could it really be: anybody with any kind of education or reputation would not take the job even if they were starving and living on the street? Maybe that's why they are "letting" people go back to school now.

Well- maybe for a twelve year old. But for a forty-some year old, you'd think it would be a piece of cake!

Would you please elaborate?

Yes?

My opinion- not much. Maybe a lot.. sorry, have to be a little ambiguous here. But maybe we'd figure out that we don't have the universe by the tail after all.

Well, knowing this stuff, I don't know how much it matters either- more of a question, "what good does it do me knowing this?" Still doesn't exactly answer the question "who's fault is it?" If our discussion is true, that WE do not effect the cause, there seems to be a lot less options.

We are most unusual creatures, are we not?

I agree. But the cackle of my ego tells me otherwise.. You may not like "heh heh", but I have to live with it..

Trefor, this is the guy I was talking about, and it wasn't the guy in tremors: This is where its at...

Well, that leaves a lot fewer options.. Maybe WE do not effect the cause that we think we do.`

True, true. But remember what your friend Mr. Floyd had to say! But what I observed: many were obsessed with trying to document how these "keys" worked in their lives. And usually they were the most mundane, trivial, and questionable events. "I must've got it right today, I got my favorite parking spot in front of Wal-Mart..." Questionable at best. NEVER did I hear- "I applied the keys, and my missing leg grew back". Why not? And "God's ability equals His willingness". I don't quite buy that in its entirety, any more. God is not going to knock the moon out of its orbit for me, no matter how special I think I am. Few here would question that he is ABLE to do such a thing. Willing- no.
