Thanks for the tit, err, tip, about Uncle Harry, sexie. I remember the days he was young & firm... Simonion, I second John's request that you be about your travel to Florida. In the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established... You & your brother can shack up in the same unit you had so maany maany years ago. This time, please leave the soiled bed sheets when you move on... and pick up the beer cans.

Great news Nika!! Thank God!!!!

If you think those are just Simon's words, if you think, "Well, that's just ole Simon speaking", you're never going to go very far spiritually.

12 and 6am?? What corps were you in?? Didn't you ever have Blast Partol, 24 hrs of prayer (we always got the 2am - 3am, or 3 to 4am shift, after aerobics points, chapel setup, etc), or go LEAD (hitchhike through the night, no time to sleep), or go Lightbearers, or any of the other 1000 things we did in the corps??

Corps tuition - the cost?? How about 3 years of my life?? That equates to: 8760 hrs (per year) times 3 (years) = 26,280 hours Let's see, what was my time worth back then, maybe $10/hr??? So it looks like it cost ME ALONE $262,800.00, plus whatever amount my "sponsors/partners" contributed... What has the gospel cost YOU????

A La, your LEAD evaluation was maybe the worst JL ever read, but I had the honor to have LCM and TJ BOTH tell me (quite loudly) that MY evaluation was the worst they had ever seen, all in the wonderful, peaceful setting of Uncle Tom's cabin, with a few expletives thrown in, eyeballs popping, jugular veins engorged, etc. That day I was more blessed than I already was... So, to hades with the 3X5 cards. Nothing was as godly as an in-person bless meeting about the greatness of God in Christ in you. I got another bless meeting once, this time in front of everyone during a corps nite. Dec. 7th, I'll never forget, D-Day, as it were. LCM screaming for 10 minutes at me due to an eff'ed up staff evaluation I got from my LYING dept. terminator. Sure inspired me to be my best before God. Ahhh, the good ole days ...

Exie, I perceive thou art a prophetess. Anyone remember "A man can find God anywhere, and miss Him everywhere."?? How about "The Word from the lips of a jackass worked in the Bible.", referring to Balaam's donkey in the OT. HOW we receive God's word is not as important as THAT we receive it. VP has blended back into dirt. Today is WHEN God's word lives and works in our lives. Today is WHEN God can restore 100 fold anything taken from us. Today is WHEN He wants us to house His words in our minds, as He lives (or doesn't) IN US. We are His habitation. He's not freaked by fuel prices. And we ARE, TODAY, His heirs, and joint heirs with Christ. Those hurt by VP and others can expect God to pay them back for their heartbreaks. Okay, twig's over. Take your songbooks and turn to number ...

The spirits of the porphets are subject to the prophets.

Bless your heart Simmy, what if it were the word of God and you DIDN'T like it?? A lot of people get all heppt about.. this... sports. I don't read anywhere in the word about gettin' all lathered up about baseball, or football, or even some college basketball and even a little bit of professional basketball. YOU did not invent the hook nose shot. YOU did not not see the gas pumps due to the snow. YOU did not come to meet me in my train. What has baseball cost YOU??? Yet a little slumber, a little folding of the hands ...

Flipperripper, you are one obtuse orator. I think maybe you are making the Aussie dialect your own (idios). Some of these things are hard on our ear-balls. But, make no mistake; the love you have for our wayward sailor Simonion just oozes out. Blessing to all. Choose life. Then shall you make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success...

... Joe Feah, couldn't go on stage without drinking a gallon of apple wine... ... He was a real wierd-o, ya know?? ... ... Just about everybody loves a picnic... ... Hello Rhonda ...

Wait a minute... I thought VPea was up 16, 18, 20 hrs a day, just milking, err, working that word, he had the heavy burden of all in the ministry, believers, properties, policies, work, and all else. He was fervently praying for all of us, researching, preparing for teachings, overseeing all the work of the ministry, and on and on and on... Quite the doulos, without the soldier part. Seems to me he had quite a bit of "free" time, not to mention funds, to have little drinking doos on the coach, oddles of time to convince females, one by one, of their inner and outer God-giving beauty, to lovingly "teach" them about the "real" love of God and their own bodies, then cast them away after they "mastered" servicing the master. Hows come I, as a lowly SCUM believer, never had this kind of time on MY hands?? I only got reproved for not doing enough, not giving enough. Never good enough. GOD is the one that caused any real sweet times of fellowship I had in the way. Anything real and Godly I received in the ministry was because GOD caused it. Not VP. Maybe THAT is the point, Sopwag.

Makes you wonder what Simon's back looked like. He must be all hept.... on.... this.... sports. Anyone going to PLAF '77??? I need a ride.

Not a CYBORG hug, you idios. Just like your wrestling with the scriptures, and the dying of the fig tree, you're interpreting this whole thing backwards. You whited david wall, where do you prefer to be smitten?? What do YOU get when you mix 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen... Apple Butter ????? !***!!!!!!!!!***! sexie !***!!!!!!!!***! (what do exclaimation marks represent?? Not the twelve tribes of Israel, I hope...)

Hey, I've heard that before... "We're all gone now!!". Let's all pray our wandering star Fellowhipper returns to these our threads. Maybe he's been getting all liquered up with the aborigines. Fellow, if you're our there, just remember; the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

I've got an Uncle Harry, but I'm not gonna help YOU !!!!

Simon, much learning doth make thee MAD (mothers against drunk drivers). As opposed to DAMM (drunks against mad mothers). Speaking of which, Sexie, where is Mother??

I had a beer one time during corps week. I admit it. But I gave thanks before I brake beer wth my brother so as not to offend him. And I cooked more than one WOW burger in those days. I coordinated that tent one or two years. All I remember is working the 1st 36 hours straight, all the while looking for other "volunteers" to help out. The graveyard shift was the most interesting - maany strange things happened in the night. Then sleep for maybe 4 hours and right back to the WOW burger tent to get more blessed than I already was... And every summer, if not on staff, you'd seek out a buddie who was on staff for a place to stay for the 2 weeks of brian Bliss, preferrably off-grounds. One year I was afforded a fire-engine red hotline telephone to the MOG hisself, courtesy of our own wunnerful Exie and he who smoked pot with the bee-uls. Thanks again you two - that alone made the trip worthwhile. I will always be indebted!!!! We, along with IGOTMILK, prayed fervently for those on-grounds during the evening teaching. It was indeed unfortunate that the local TV stations did not offer live audio/video from The Way Big Top...

I've got a hankerin' for some spankerin!! Hey, if we do a corps doo here in FL, Simon can bring the CHANGED video, along with the 9th corps listing (alpha order, of course), as well as a delapidated box-tail truck that shuts down just when you need it the most. And we will need as maany 7th as possible to remind us of dining room etiquette and what aerobic points should mean to us. Maybe our newbie Pope will bring the 3.2 beer and a fiddle. I will bring a lock of Tic's hair and a plastic cup from Rome City. Hellostripper, should he have his ear-balls open, can bring new brides from down unda for all non-married 9th.

Easy Tomboy, let's not get all "hept" at the figures used in these our threads. This reminded me of the difference between a circus and a chorus line of girls... One is a cunning array of stunts.

I was such a babe ... I coudda used some undershepharding back then. Thanks alot, 7th corps scum!!!

Oh yeah??? Well, just last night I was driving in I-95 & saw troopers behind me. I sped up to over 100, and they kept chasing me. After more than an hour I ran outta gas and they surrounded me. As I was beimg handcuffed one trooper asked me, "If you can give me ONE legit reason why you were driving so fast, I will let you go." So I told him that about a year ago my wife ran off with a trooper, and I thought he might be bringing her back... He let me go. Are we scumming this thread??

You aint got it so bad John. Last night around the dinner table, after my wife told me what mischief the little one had done, I told him, "Wait till you have kids of your own". He answers back "Yeah, wait till you have kids of YOUR own!!!". But it's not too bad. Take my wife...... PLEASE!!!!!!

No, No, a thousand times NO!!!! The number 1 signifies oneness, ones not succumbing to scum. One is the holiest number. One is what one is and what one would expect. Be ye 1 even as I am 1. Actually, I had to re-register a number of months ago. The princes of this thread required me to come up with a NEW user id...

I'll tell you what scum I am... My ex wife and I were very happy for 20 years .... Then we met. I've had bad luck with both of my wives ... The first one left me and the second one didn't. I don't worry about terrorism... I've been married 10 years. I had some words with my wife... And she had some paragraphs with me. When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. 1st guy: "My wife's an angel." 2nd guy: "You're lucky. Mine's still alive." There's an even faster way of transferring funds than electronic banking. It's called marriage. Bless your heart!!!
