doojable

Alright Tom - we have probably seen each other within the last 10 years or so - maybe even more recent. Did you ever hang out at the Wire's house? - HMMMMMM -

Two things - there are two Clem Robins in Cincinnati - one has middle initial "J" and the other "I" does anyone out there know which one was in the corps? -

Also can I assume that Clem is no longer with TWI?

Thanks all!

Tonto and Tom Strange - I've been in Fort Worth since "83 - I think - I got here right after graduation and I liked it. All those years New York City taught me that while I love snow I really would rather visit snow[/color] instead of live with it.

Sorry those of you who responded - I lost track of this thread. I am actually glad that I found you guys - all in all we were all a great group - fun for the most part anyway. oakspear - which college were you in in NYC when you took the class? We just might know each other - that was a tight group in that there town. (OOps texan slipping in!)

Just to be clear - I remained a believer but not one with TWI. It all got too "line in the sand " for me way too quickly over very petty stuff.

It seemed to me that we were using the very same Word that God had given to bring us together as a tool for division. That was just a bunch of bull.

I have always kinda marched to my own drummer (he's there in my head right now..Heh heh heh)

I don't consider this time wasted - I just hope that I can figure out how to get in touch with more folks - after all that's why i'm here.:)

hey does anyone out there know the whereabouts of Clem Robbins. I know he ended up in Idaho for a while but he was from Mass. - Just wanting to say hi to him

Hey Ex10 I think I know you - and I am in texas as well in Fort worth to be exact. We were in our first twig in 10th corps together and we actually ran together for a while.. One morning as we were walking in you looked at me and said,"Goll-ee you're short...!"

Let me know if I have the right person -

Ok but is there a way for me to find out who I am talking to - just in case I know some of you - which I am certain I do.

Ok so what I want to know is HOW some of you know who each other are. This site seems firm on anonymity - but....... that don't seem to always be the case. I don't mind people knowing who I am - but it seems to me that there must be a reason for the secrecy - I seemed to have read somewhere in the archives about lawsuits because of posting on the site - perhaps that's a thing of the past.... I'm looking not only for people to talk to but also to find some of those past acquaintances - I've checked profiles and those are usually blank.

ARGGGGGHHHHHH!

Too Gray - Thanks for the welcome ( and I had one other welcome - but I forgot the call name - sorry)

A "dooj" Well - when my first little girl was born we called her a "pookie doodle" As things go. after a while all sorts of things had the term doodle attached to them. e had a friend tht got really intp Paulie Shore and his was of speaking (ie Grindage, Grundage, etc) we tried to get our then 2 year old to say "doodle-age" and it came out "dooj" -

There you go - nothing mysterious. Hope I didn't just mess up a thread.

On that subject though..... Lead was not the worst time in my life - that would have been in the same house as my step monster. I do seem to remember - vaguely - that when one of the corps died on Lead that it became her fault. She obviously wasn't in fellowship.

Years in retrospect I realize that we all gave the devil way to much credit for screwing with us and not enough credit to God for caring for us. Of course then there was always ourselves to blame.....Romans 8 be damned (pun intended)

But I have found that all in all my life has not been horribly torn apart. I knew the job was dangerous when I took it concerning the way corps and many other things. Yes there were a lot of those with power that abused that power - but as I move through the wolrd I see that it isn't just a way thing - its a people thing. people are absolutely horrible to each other on occasion.

OK there's my two cents - I see both sides of the thread here and both are right. youcan't excuse people for acting badly. we used to tell our kids - some people don't know how to be careful for you or themselves so you just have to be extra careful. (Jesus said it a bit better with the whole wise as serpents and harless as doves thing)

I'm new here but the subject of this thread was something I was thinking about jus tthe other day. I started in TWI while I was in College in NYC - 1978. I was studying to be an illustrator. A 1 2/2 yrs later I was in the 10th corps. I left at the end of my third year and I have never been back to finish that degree.

I had to give up art for that year and because I had to give my very expensive art supplies to someone to hold - who kept them - it was quite a long time before I returned to art. Now I teach drawing and Paint - I am in a local gallery.

I'v had a family and I make sure that the girls get to ballet and piano.

I'm a bit different in that although I regret the time wasted and the mistakes I made, I just don't focus on it all that much. - Why take even more time away from what I love? (family and hobbies) I am not going to give TWI anymore time than it has already taken. Yes I am here on this site - but I am still looking to get some things back - some great friends that I lost track of. I made tha mistake of laying low when I decided to leave TWI in 1988/89 so as not to put any of my firends in the awkward position of having to fellowship with an unbeliever.

Sorry about all the rambling. I'll get the hang of this soon enough.

I started with the 10th corps and graduated with the 11th. Did my interim year in Houston - and then ANOTHER year there (hence graduating with the 11th.) I'm a bit new to this and I'm wondering who's out there???

Ok , I'm a bit new to this. SO please be patient with me. I started with the 10th and graduated with the 11th.I just found this site recently and I just got permission to post. I took the class in feb 78 and went into the 10th by Aug "79 (sick HUH?) Anyway, life has gone on and over all things aren't too bad. Just wish I hadn't lost track of so many friends over the years.
