Sunesis, this happened your interim year, my last year in rez while at RC after Jan. 78 sometime. You should have heard how Del promoed it...he left the door wide open to any one who had half a brain to understand what he REALLY thought about it....BUT he didn't actually say it was krap, just let you come to that conclusion if you listened close enough. Del was a master....

The stuff was rank, so many of us could not believe this was being palmed off as real .....

My heart is with you, dear Dot.....thanks so much for all your support of me and I am praying for you upon every remembrance...

a few thoughts...

God created the heavens and earth in the beginning. In the beginning of what? In the beginning of this universe, this "expanse", this construct that houses all we know, all we can "see" and much more we cannot. This construct is a space-time continuum; time is a dimension and an integral part of our universe. Man did not make or create time, God did when He created the heavens and earth in the beginning. Remember, God "inhabbits" eternity, he is timeless and beyond time and space. He was before "time" began and He will someday bring about a new heavens and earth in which "time will be no more", as the song says. This new construct will be eternal, just as God Himself is, will it not?? We will have everlasting life, correct? No end, because He has no end. God can certainly see all we will ever experience in this heavens and earth for He is above, beyond and greater than this expanse, for He created it and was God before it was created. If we have no will, however limited in comparison to Him, then this truly is a cosmic-sized joke..... :D

perhaps others are posting for JAL, LNM -- eh? Certainly things posted were slanted JAL's way, not MG's way...

LNM claims he has no dog in this hunt, yet he "answers" for JAL and does that unsanitary thing of putting words in others' mouths. WHY do you care, lnm, you claim you are busy, why not get busy and take a hike if you do not have anything genuine to "add" to the discussion....

right now, playing jal's toady seems beneath you...give it up.

In the States, CG supports himself by selling his classes via his network of those who worship & adore him. In order to deemed worthy and get selected to represent him and his stuff, you have to jump through some hoops and promise to send him money and not give it to anyone else, when you run his classes (and to really "be" with him, you have to take all his classes yourself), don't expect any real communication from him, he only accepts faxes and if you question anything, you'll be deemed unworthy and can't run his classes anymore. His followers are lock, stock and barrel Geer-heads. If you aren't with him then you've turned your back on THE Word of God as given by the MOG (VP) and later entrusted to CG. It's the Way all over again. Some folks never learn. He's still promising he'll get that Advanced Class done, but it hasn't happened and annually, he whines about those that have "hurt" him or his ministry and "turned their backs" on him. Want some cheese with that whine (wine)?

On the other hand, you can pray for his wife, she's been dealing with multiple sclorosis for years now.

First, thank you for all the prayers and supplications you've made and continue to make on Felix's behalf. It is really encouraging and humbling. His wife, Jean is writing this. Felix was having a hard time getting started, so I said I would do it. It is probably a little easier for me since it's not about me. I hope this doesn't seem terse and I will, no doubt, not explain everything completely. I don't want this email to be so long you open it and your eyes roll back into your heads and it is too daunting a length to bother with. If you want to ask him any questions, he's completely open to talking to anyone about this, so please do.

Here's the run down in a nutshell.

Diagnosis: About 4-5 months ago, he noticed a swelling in his throat. He went to the doctor in Sept. and was told he needed surgery to remove his tonsils since one of them had a tumor. The biopsy was Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Prognosis: Terminal When I emailed the doctor at Stanford Cancer Center to ask what the progression is of this disease and the outcome, the response was it is an aggressive form of cancer and about 3 months. He was told he was Stage 3 (meaning tumors, although small, were located above and below the diaphram) and Grade A (no secondary symptoms). We've both had a good cry to two over this. The treatment options they offered: HyperCVAD (a really toxic combination of chemo drugs) or a Clinical Trial with HyperCVAD and another chemo drug combined (just as lethal). Prognosis: 3 years and then the cancer would come back and we'd be back to square one. According the AMA, this type of cancer is resistant to chemo so they offer no hope of cure. The Clinical Trial would last about 2 1/2 years (6 months of pure hell with the hyperCVAD, a 4 day stay in the hospital w/the chemo drip 24/7, 2 1/2 weeks off and then another round and this would continue for 6 rounds, followed by another chemo drug every 6 months for two years. Prognosis: About the same as the other option, maybe more, who knows, this is a clinical trial to determine whether this treatment is more effective. Of course, you have to survive the chemo regime and there is a laundry list of side effects that can cripple or kill you and any chance at quality of life you ever contemplated. Not the most tempting offer ever made, but if this is what Felix needed to do, he would. He doesn't believe it is. By the way, Felix has never had any symptoms of ill health and still doesn't.

Option Two

God sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction. Beloved I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers, and other verses. God is the I AM. I AM what you need. I am the God that delivers. I am the God that heals you. I am the God who provides. I am the God who supplies all your need according to MY riches and glory through Christ Jesus.

Through a series of events (orchestrated by God), Felix was ministered to and believes he's healed. The question was, "What to do now?" in order to "go his way rejoicing". Kathy Stiles had contacted him with some information about a ND, Dr. Tunsky, she'd seen. It sounded like a good way to go, but Felix had to talk to him to see if it was or not. They did talk and he is taking this path. Dr. Tunsky started as a molecular biologist (websites: drcelltox.com and wholebodyhealingcenter.com) and then became a naturopathic doctor. The AMA and ND doctors do agree that cancer is anaerobic, likes an acidic environment, loves sugar, and can't throw off heat. Dr. Tunsky told Felix he recommended a 21 day detox program, then Felix will do some tests and based upon them, Dr. Tunsky will develop a treatment plan. The plan would be based on making his body as inhospitable to cancer as possible and thereby starve it out. So, eliminate all sugars, raise the body temperature to about 101 degrees to heat the cells up and trigger the immune response, exercise to oxygenate the body and change the diet to alter the body's ph to a more alkaline level. We've started some changes in diet recently by moving to an alkaline diet. It is sort of a combination of macrobiotic and vegan. Breakfast is a challenge. All the traditional foods are out. I like to cook, but this is even a challenge for me.

Please email Felix if you have questions or come across something you think might be of interest to help. And, thank you all for your continued prayers and intercessions.

Dot .....I am praying for you. Your words and thoughts have been an immeasurable blessing to me. Please hang in there. He cares for you and me and us all so much. Life is so overwhelming some times but He is constantly with us if we but can discern His touch. You are loved mightily....

Once again, you all are wonderful to pray and think of me -- still kind of overwhelms me a bit.

OK, the latest is I have a somewhat rare, potentially agressive lmyphoma known as mantle cell lymphoma. I am going to Stanford which is approx. 3 hours from here cuz they are the experts. Monday the 8th of Oct. is my first appointment; I have many tests statrting w/ a PET/CT scan to ascertain if I have any further spread of this. The one tonsil had a mass/tumour which is cut out, the other tonsil had a very small spot, that also is removed and I have a lymph gland in my neck somewhere with a small 2mm sized spot. That at least will require treatment but until I am "staged" as it is called we will not know full treatment requirements. All of this is very new to me and I am working on taking it a day and a step at a time.

All I know is is that I feel I have more to do in this life; more to see, more to help those I can and trust that God is with me and his healing presence will lift me. And I also know that a far greater life will be someday and that allows me to have peace with whatever occurs. Someday this will all fade and a new life without sin or death will be here. For me, taking the long view has helped me to trust Him in the here and now also.

Thanks again for your love,

Felix

adding my prayer for Shirley....

niKa, I PMed you.

preliminairy report fron path lab is that the tumour was a lymphoma. I have a meeting with 2 oncologists in the next 2 weeks and they will let me know what course is next. Probably radiation, possible chemotherapy. I hope to avoid the latter. I am doing fine and am thankful to those who have prayed and are praying. I trust that God is watching over me and I have peace.

I will let you know when I find out more.

Felix

you are in my heart and prayers

i love you, alfie

as Terry Garr's character Inga in Young Frankenstein says to Gene Wilder, "the feeling is mootchal, darlin...

First, thank you each and every one, for your thoughts and prayers. I feel I know you all to some degree, having posted here since even before Waydale passed on. And I do know some of you personally from back in the day; Kit from way, way back; Vickles from almost that far and Tonto, aren't you 8th kork????? and almost forgot Z-shot from SLC,UT dayze....

2nd, I am home, surgery sucessful and now some bed rest and ice cream and popsicles and fruit smoothies....

I will find out results of biopsy on the mass in 2 weeks or so and will let you all know.

Just wanted you all to know that you touched my heart and I thank my God(and yours) for you all.

...Monday, Sept. 10. Dr. found a a tomor on my right tonsil, it has become quite swollen over the last 2-3 months. He offered to pray

w/ me, which I of course said yes and he seems very competent. My first surgery other than oral surgery so please throw up a prayer for me when you think of me Monday. Thanks, all.

And is it NORMAL for a 50 something year old man of the cloth to want to drug a girl and have sex with her?

my exact question, as well -- is this ok with everybody, is it cool, no biggie????

oh, but WD says even though literally dozens over the years on Waydale and GreaseSpot have confirmed it, he just can't accept it.....

WD, you are pitiful

p--roof, scha-mooff, what are ya gonna do with it IF you had your proof ??????

take it to the bank?????

I, also, knew M*arsha quite well when we were in the 6ckk kork together and NEVER could figure out what had happened on her interim year. Hope Rich directly questioned Vince F about this whole thing after we graduated and was told the F*C*ING stock way dazed answer: SHE IS POZAZZED.

Nice, eh WD, OLDIESFART, and other ostritch-types.....

You folks are WILLINGLY blind; you have WILLED to be and therefore, CANNOT see.... :asdf:

I have asked you chicken-sh**s this question before, 3 or 4 times and NEVER once received an answer.

At 45, 50, 55, 60 -- whatever age you are, HOW MANY have gone out and had SEX with tennagers and 20-somethings; you know, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 , 25 year olds that you are a minimum 30, 35, 40 years their senior; even ONCE??????????

Now how about making it your life-style????????? How about having other young women(girls) set you up with them????????

.

.

.

.

.

AND YOU ARE A CHRISTIAn MINISTER WITH REVELATION FROM GOD ALMIGHTY NOT KNOWN SINCE THE FIRST CENTURY??????? (don't like the shouting? TOUGH SH-*T......

and this is just some sin, eh??? huh, some kinda wacko religion ya got there, son.....

Bill Walsh died a few days ago of leukemia. I don't remember how old the news folks said he was. He had apparently been ill since 2004. He lived in our neighborhood and was our very own local celebrity. RIP Bill.

Not often I would cry at some celebrity's passing BUT Bill was not a "celebrity", he was a really unique guy, especialy for a sterotype like a "football coach". I am pretty much a life-long 49ers fan, grew up in the SF Bay Area following them as my dad first listened on radio back in the Kezar Stadium days to Lon Simmons doing the broadcast with his trademark "Touchdown! 49ers!" -- when Bill Walsh came along, the 49ers were as down as I ever knew them since the early 60s, at least. He was different, un-conventional, had coached under Al Davis, Paul Brown and Don Coryell and had managed to mix in his own original thinking in coming up with an offense designed to break down the popular 3-4 defense that had swept the league starting in the early 80s. but the man was much more than that... I am including links to 3 great articles about him. He is clearly the major reason for the 49ers 5 Super Bowl victory legacy.

The 6th Corps was the first "mass" Corps wedding, July 26, 1978.

However the Martindale wedding was probably the first "multiple" wedding. I think there were four or five Corps couples that VP married at the same time, done at HQ, in 1976. I am pretty sure that Jxhn and Mxg Kxsh were one of the couples in that ceremony with the Martindales. Don't know who the others were.

So they were the prototype. I remember Donna coming to one of our early planning meetings and bringing her wedding photos for us to look at, to help convince us that a group wedding wasn't so bad. After all, we were only going to have only three (THREE) couples, and they had more, and it was still very intimate. After all, it's your faithful Corps brothers and sisters you're getting married with. I think they were married under the apple trees, and the reception looked like it was in front of Ye Olde Snack Shoppe.

What our event became was a far cry from what she represented to us.

I was on my interim year on staff the year the 4th corps graduated(because they graduated after RACA) and for some reason 15 couples sticks out in my mind....M and B Gl**kin, K and H S***uth, R and J B*lt, if I thought long enough I could most likely name all 15. Seems like it was the apple trees, Catcup. And of course, at least 8-10 4th kork couples got married, as well.

The 6th kork weddings, ah yes Kansas full-scale late July heat in a navy blue wool siut, 3-piece, natch...... I was a groomsman along w/ Larry Romai*e for a 6th kork couple. A truly Zen-like experience as one attempted to transcend the heat....

passing out water to little old ladies about to swoon. Speaking of swoon, yes TP and NM but first before either of them was Dav*d H**shead, I believe. And he crumpled like a freaking sack o' potatoes....

It was not Al W, it was Steph*n Ha**ison and Th*r*sa that stepped up to take ole vicsters wrath and SH handled himself quite well as I remember.

So sorry to hear that it was even worse than I knew or remembered it to be, Catcup. Good ole way daze, vicster always had all the answers, even to stuff nobody asked and nobody wanted his opinion on....fricking busy-body that he was and control freak to boot....

I met Wierwille a buncha times, too. And I think he was a jerk in reverend's clothing. I tried really hard not to believe that of him, and I certainly didn't start out thinking of him that way. But his actions spoke louder than his words.

by my count, since wattagasbags's post:

morons - 9

intellects - 1(this would be wattagasbag)

cogent post, TheHighWay!

nice bit o' flatulence, wattagasbag!

You tar yourself w/ the same brush, bucko...

NO ONE here, yoseff included, will pronounce the FINAL judgment on vic, or anyone else, for that matter... but we do get to decide, based on our own insight, what we consider him to have been---patriarch or self-promoter extroardinaire. And some here certainly knew the man far more than you did. He was not the altruistic champion you still seem to want so desperately to believe him to be...

And YOU are the gawd-given one to set us all straight, eh??? yep, you just keep tellin' yoseff that, boy-o.....

just wanted to clarify there is a break between the first sentence, my reply to TheHighWay, and the rest of my post directed to wattagasbag....

Yea wasn't it criteria for "leadership" to have over sized cups?

Ray was the branch coordinator for the WOW branch in Cedar Rapids, IA, 1975, which is where I met him for the first time. He was loved and respected by many that year, and it wasn't an easy year. He rose to the occasions, but never let them get the better of him and maintained his sense of humor and non-judgmentalness (is that a word?). He taught the Word well too. Cool guy.

Where can we write to Jeannie to send our love and support?

sorry Tom, but Warriors are rollin'

ok, Jazz fans, step up.....game 1 tonight and I think Warriors will be very lucky to split first 2 in SLC. That being said, it will be a story of which tempo will prevail and will BD and his hamstring hold up. As he goes, so go the W's.

Jazz fans: your turn....
