So close, George. Sooooooo close.

Yeah. It didn't feel like it at the time, though. :(

Here's a bit of a twist for you. What if you got your "earthly" family "in the word" BEFORE you left to go WOW or WC or FLO or WayD, etc? How could you leave your program of choice, go back home and NOT feel like a failure?

Lyin' Eyes--------The Eagles It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike. NOTE: Not the first line.

He said, "I'm looking for a miracle in my life." And then, presto!------The gas pumps were buried in a newly fallen snowjob.

Yeah. I think that place inspired the lyric, "Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at your door?"

HERE is a link that reveals the true source of his so-called "doctorate".

Thanks, excie. Good find!

The difference between Wierwille and Martindale: Wierwille told you what he thought YOU wanted to hear. Martindale told you what HE wanted you to hear.

There is a scientific theory that states that birds are not merely "descended" from dinosaurs, but, in fact, actually ARE dinosaurs. So, in a sense, if this theory proves to be true, you could say that man has and continues to walk amongst the dinosaurs.

Wierwille tried variations of this same thing. It never worked for him either.

So how could VP (You know he wasn't really a doctor, don't you?) Wierwille stand in front of auditoriums filled with eager AC students and proclaim that this and that were caused by devil spirits when all the while his own lifestyle was an epitomization of what he was teaching? Simple. He didn't really believe it himself. He was like the used car salesman who tells you the car that has caught your eye was previously owned by a little old lady who only drove it to church on Sunday morning.

Perhaps his Freudian slip was showing.

Thanks, but, I think you should go again.

By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong.

I think it might be a CCR tune. ----No idea what the title is.

Throw my ticket out the window. Throw my suitcase out there too.

It was all just part of a cleverly crafted scam that was run by a dirty old drunk with a twisted, sadistic mind. (In my opinion)-----

I think you have to hang onto the concept of "inerrancy" for the 6,000 year thing to make sense.

I don't think that was exclusively offered to the Corps as I remember taking it and I wasn't WC. It also had materials from "Tremendous" Jones and Og Mandino, if I remember correctly. "If I ACT excited, I'll BE excited!!"

Re: The L.E.A.D. references HERE is a thread that new arrivals may find of interest.

VP (You know he wasn't really a doctor, don't you?) Wierwille wanted them to HAVE it.He just didn't want them to USE it. I learned how to sprout Mung Beans and make my own salad dressing. :(

Well, you wouldn't want them recruiting hobnobbing with the common folk, would you?

Oh, it adds up. 15% from this guy, 15% from that guy------
