charged with oversight?...What the f... does that mean? In other words, they own the business that they have started...

Amish men grow beards but no moustaches...

...Rosie has a moustache but no beard...

From the looks of it, Vic's grandson (Sowers),is closely following the programs instituted by his grandpa...I hope he leaves out the parts that included plagiarism, adultery and lying about people...

...but even if he does, the doctrine is grossly incorrect.

I never could fake it too well...maybe that's why I didn't make it too well in twi either...

I remember Mike when I was in rez in the 10th corps...at that time he seemed like a nice guy...

...the main difference of course is that Khrushchev was better looking than Rozilla...

Ted Farrell!...He doesn't know me but I know him...watched him perform many times...

I can only imagine his lounge act!...must be great.

Thanks for posting here Ted...adds a little class to the place. You are a gentleman and a loving Christian. Best to you and yours'

Yes, yes...I agree with everything you said...after being out for 24 years, I have reduced the whole thing down to this...they deliberately lied in God's name.

Any "vision" that twi once had is long dead...They are merely maintaining their tax exempt status and remaining a "legal ministry" in order to live off the substantial assets still left.

They are a sick little group of hypocrites clinging to the fragments of yesteryear, living lifestyles that are plush and comfortable. When Wierwille claimed that the "ministry" belonged to all of us...he was speaking pure bullsh *t. A small group of insiders grabbed the assets and are living plush lives...numbers?...They couldn't care less.

Happy birthday to Bob Dylan...70 years old

Yikes!...it's Saturday and nobody has posted yet!...Are you guys still here?...or have you "raptured"?

Even if the rapture has already happened ...at least Sudo will still be here to talk to.

I made a choice to go into the Fellowlaborers of Ohio program. I am responsible for making that choice. But, the choice was based on misinformation that was given to me by people I trusted. Do they get left off the hook here while I'm stuck holding the bag?

No they don't!...drop the bag right on their foot, turn your back on them and walk away...don't look back. Like the rest of us, you were conned...recognize that fact and walk away from it...

I agree. Some time ago I was on an internet group supposedly friendly to ex-TWI'ers. When I asked a doctrinal question trying to understand something which had occurred to be during my stint in TWI, one of the members (apparently still active in TWI) blasted me for not "moving on" and then asserted he was "tired" of hearing all the "whining" about TWI and people claiming to be "a victim of everything".

My own feeling was that if someone is not interested in a topic, they should simply ignore the thread. Putting people down and trying to dictate what others should talk about smacked too much of TWI for me, so I did exactly what I did with TWI and left.

To me, discussing things which occurred, trying to understand them, and talking about your own experiences to show others that they were not along in their experiences is not "whining". There is indeed such a thing as a victim mentality, but simply relating what actually happened or trying to gain insight into what happened is not it. This is not merely useful for gaining insight into TWI. There are many organizations and people who employ the same sort of psychological tactics to get what they want. And just because someone is interested in discussing something doesn't mean they haven't "moved on". If you can identify the tactics in one case, you can be aware of them in all. That's the value of open discussion.

...and I'm trying not to say "get over it"...but in the final analysis it takes recognizing what they did and making a decision from there...

There is a forum on another site where political discussion such as the comment by Kit and a few others may be freely exchanged. This forum at GSC is not that place. Here is the address of that site: http://www.bluzecent...itics/index.php

Modgellan...ouch!...It's not like the GreaseSpot Cafe is "What it used to be" in number of posts and excitement...why stomp out a little lively discussion here...especially when it's so rare nowadays?

I like some of the newer stuff...

I can't imagine you being otherwise...such a polite and gentle soul you are...I've always spoken highly of you...

I wonder what his last thoughts were as he saw 2 dozen Navy Seals pouring through his house with guns ablazin'...

...They claim that they buried him quickly (at sea) as to respect Islamic traditions and beliefs...I think I would have let Dubbya Bush ride down Pennsylvania Ave on a horse with bin laden's head on the end of a stick...

If I'm not mistaken, jal was teaching this stuff 12-15 years ago...how old is that video?

By the way Socks...nice stuff.

Wow... naw. If I had to have given an answer in 2 seconds real quick I would have said like 6 years. Where will we all be in another 11 years? Where will TWI be?

Collecting social security and hopefully be healthy and happy...

TWI will be nothing more than a footnote in some cult book...

Happy anniversary to my favorite hangout on the internet...

This "Sowers" crap set my teeth on edge...The grandson is trying to resurrect his grandpa's "ministry"...Know what?...Even if the grandson is not a drunken liar who steals other people's work and claims it to be his own...even if he doesn't screw around or abuse people...it's STILL wrong doctrine! The so-called law of believing alone will cause mental illness or worse.

This kid is gonna hit the wall harder than Mr.Magoo playing Jai alai...Oh, to be young and stupid again...
