I'm not so sure I would be quite as tough on the whole system overall. There are some behavioral tenets that parallel common sense, such as "Treat others with respect", "A soft answer turns away wrath." and so forth. On the other hand, there are the doctrinal tenets that deal with such things as people being raised from the dead, limitless supplies of food staples, miraculous healings and that sort of thing. Maybe it would be helpful to make a distinction between the doctrinal tenets and the behavioral tenets.

Definitely food for critical thought and closer examination, Steve.

See? This stuff is what makes it so implausible that everything fits like a hand in a glove, every word is God-breathed, yada, yada.----"Follow me."/"Don't follow me." The contradiction is obvious.

The guy to my left, I don't recognize. The guy between Norbert and Larry is, I think, Bruce D!ll. (Not a very good picture of him, if it is.) Answer to the other question is Cathy Dech@nt. Lots of faces missing-----must have been some other function going on that day.

Once again, I was incorrect in thinking this would be easily recognized. It's by The Association.FREE POST!

"I took the Advanced Class in New Knoxville around 1972 or so... Victor taught that homosexuality was a devil spirit in that class. delusional pea-brain" I'll bet that hot root we had to chew at the initiation into the inner sanctum was really some kind of magic potion to ward off debuhl spurts. Too bad VP didn't chew any of it.

Yes. I personally think this is the point in time when The Stones were at their peak. (Before the unfortunate demise of Brian Jones, the heart and soul of the original group) BTW----That's Nicky Hopkins on piano and Brian Jones on mellotron.

Jack is smokin' on what sounds like a Musselwhite tune!!

The word you're hearing is not "Angel" but you're on the right track.

Oh, but surely you DID wear such a dress. :P

The only things those guys are likely to change are the burned out light bulbs on the fountain of tainted water.

HERE Lyrics

Have you seen her all in gold? Like a queen in days of old She shoots colors all around Like a sunset going down Have you seen a lady fairer?

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely someone calls on me.

Might be interesting to extend this to favorite album. My first choice is Rubber Soul, with Revolver close behind it. Edit: The reason I put this out there is because each album is like a work unto itself. Thematic, in a sense.

I'll have to go with In My Life. (Check out cover.)

Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you And her face is like a sail Speck of white so fair and pale Have you seen the lady fairer?

Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies----

(it's a gas.)-------The Rolling Uglies

I feel the same way. I only posted it because I thought maybe you and others might enjoy the photos of 3/4 and 4/5. :)

In her book, Losing The Way, Kristen S. talks about that sensation of awakening. I highly recommend the book for any of you new arrivals. If you are not familiar with it, refer to THIS.

FB pics of FLO 3/4 and FLO 4/5 (Several are missing from these photos, such as Mr. G.---must have been on MANNA duty or something.) http://www.facebook.com/?sk=ff#!/group.php?gid=151630384847945

Reminds me of the plot to one of those old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland movies. "Hey, kids! Let's put on a stage show in the barn and win the war!"
