I think his point was to try to compare what we did in a "non-profit" cult to something being done in an upscale, "for profit" establishment. You know, like when people try to compare V.PeePee to David or Paul or somebody else who resembled him in no way that was relevant other than sharing the same gender. Or when they try to compare our life in the TWI commune to something that happened 2,000 freakin' years ago, in a totally different culture, under totally different circumstances....but I could be wrong...What sayest thou, John?

Baby It's You If you wear red tonight, remember what I said tonight.

It's pretty difficult for me too break away so, I'll have to pass. Otherwise, it sounds like it would be fun. Hic!

"There's as much learning in hitch hiking violating The Mann Act as there is in studying Genesis".....VPP My link

If they're gonna break THOSE laws, why not just go all out and break The Mann Act of 1910 like Grand-Daddy VPP did?

Mississippi (point A) Code 63-3-1109 Solicitation of rides by pedestrians. No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride from the driver of any private vehicle. ---------------------------------------------------- New Mexico (point B) Code 66-7-340 Pedestrians soliciting rides or business. No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride, employment or business from the occupant of any vehicle. SOURCE

John, this stuff shows up on my FB page. Personally, I have no desire to discuss alternative uses for fig pep.

Sure, but, CFF is not SOWERS. Intertwined with common relationships but independent of each other. I can remember when General motors came out with a car called NOVA. It was an acronym. N=Nova (Chevy) O=Omega (Oldsmobile) V=Ventura (Pontiac) A=Apollo (Buick) Same basic car but, minor differences in headlights, grills, etc. That's how I see the relationship between TWI and SOWERS. Minor cosmetic differences but, the same basic vehicle with VPW serving as the common powertrain for both. Side note: In Spanish, "no va" means "it doesn't go". It's no surprise it flopped in Mexico. Maybe SOWERS will flop, too, when the participants finally realize it's nothing more than a dressed up clone of a corrupt and evil organization. (It doesn't go.) Edit: According to SNOPES, the "no go" anecdote is an urban legend. So, I apologize for that bit of misleading information. However, I still think it's only a matter of time before SOWERS starts to see the inherent problems associated with the TWI programs they're cloning.

God told Abraham, "Kill me a son.".

....or maybe they're silent partners, colluding to keeping the MLM cash cow alive?

Hand Jive...Johnny Otis

Another perfect example of someone hell-bent on keeping the torch lit.

The Letter....Boxtops ........................... Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam.

Happy Together...The Reptilian Creatures

You make a good point... What did it really accomplish? (Aside from creating an illusion that any of it made a difference.)

Maybe CG was thinking no one would ever get past the first 7,300 pages or something, ya know?

I'm not sure how anyone can read The Passing of the Patriarch (AKA: The Poop Paper) and still believe any of this stuff was ever real. Come to think of it, I'm not sure how anyone can read The Poop Paper in its entirety....period

No More Mr. Nice Guy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QadtkT8fVw I can't wait forever, even though you want me to.

Maybe V2P2 should check out one on youtube.

Wierwille was very much aware of what was going on with the LEAD program. He knew that lives were being devastated and destroyed but, he let the program continue. This is the same guy who boasted of "reaching up in Daddy's cookie jar" and "listening to that small still voice". He was a charlatan, a quack, a con man. Still, there are people who continue to promote him as some sort of spiritual guru. Shame on them.

Maybe that's because, with each passing year, the list of cuckold husbands and dishonored fathers grew larger and larger.

In the early 1970s, there was a two or three page tutorial of sorts, sent out by HQ, that had instructions for running branch meetings and such. It was filled with priceless gems of wisdom, things like "Don't pick your seat.".hahaha! I'm not kidding. You can't make that kind of stuff up. I wish I still had a copy. I'd use it to *pick my seat*.
