If only you knew, Ham. If only you knew.

I just hope they have a truck stop nearby that can keep them supplied with Moon Pies!

Mine is paisley. What's that mean?

Giving personal, firsthand testimony of a wrongful event is not the same thing as libel.

(from that same era) The Purple Piper plays his tune. The choir softly sing, Three lullabies in an ancient tongue

Is it All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople?

I just afraid people will see my name and go---WHO????

One point you may have missed is that there are people here who heard it firsthand, themselves, directly from Wierwille. That is not secondhand hearsay, it's personal testimony. Unlike an urban legend, it can be traced directly to it's point of origin. Wierwille said it. That's a fact. Whether you choose to believe it or not means very little to me.

And so, with their bellies full of fig pep and familia, the journey begins----------

Great article Geo. It brought to mind this other tune as well: Desafinado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wJn5E_GyAY...feature=related

Ain't Got No Business Doin' Business Today.-----(The Georgia Songbird)

Sad Sad Sunday

Doesn't look like anybody is going to get the exact title. Hope it's OK to post some links. (Don't click if the game is still on.) Here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85DUPbkDXT0 It was a somewhat sarcastic response to this: And here is the other one that WordWolf referenced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggJZBq8SjJE...feature=related

Geeze, I don't know, Mark. You have openly spoken of your connection with The Way. I haven't seen you trying to keep the old stuff alive or cash in on the past. My 2 centavos

Working 2nd shift actually has some perks, after all!

Fortunately we don't have to rely on scripture alone there are other proofs of the resurrection." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Such as?

Hey there, Moose guy I completely agree. These guys were grossly under-rated. This cut does not even come close to showing how great they were in person. I saw them in Cleveland, Ohio in about the same time frame at a bar called The Smilin' Dog Saloon. (W.25th St.) They did a version of Eleanor Rigby that featured the fiddle player. He used a tape delay device (revolutionary for those days) to replicate the sound of a string quartet. Thank you for bringing back some terrific musical memories for me. Here is link that has more info and some really killer "cuts". http://www.mckendreespring.com/site2.php Check out #10----Meet Me In Paris.

Mike Please forgive me if this sounds rude. Your one line catch phrases do not frighten me. Why do you think they should? They are simply catchy phrases that hold no real meaning. Wierwille was famous for this very thing, using such phrases as "It's always the integrity of The Word that is at stake." and "It's The Word, The Word, and nothing but The Word." What in blue blazes does that mean, anyway? If there is some sort of hidden meaning in these phrases you have presented, please, by all means, take any ONE of them and explain why you think it is true. Just explain it in your own words without using PFAL as a reference. VPW was a con artist, Mike, not a prophet or apostle or teacher or candlestick maker. He stole BG's class and used it as a launching pad to establish a pyramid scheme that allowed him to acquire material wealth and power. He derived sadistic pleasure in controlling and manipulating people and abused and debased women for whatever reason may have been in that twisted mind of his. He was a hard-core, chronic drug addict who lived a life of self delusion. These are not simply my opinions, Mike, they are documented realities.

When I Needed You------Little Eva

There were no witnesses to the claims CG made in POP, other than VP, who can't respond to them. RD's account, on the other hand, was witnessed by many people, including, but not limited to, his own family. Many years ago (late 1970's) a close friend confided in me that he had been confronted at his own front door by thugs from The Way who made it quite clear it was in his best interest to desist in speaking out against the organization. I believed then, and still believe, he was telling me the truth. At the time, I thought there must be some really profound or spiritual reason for the incident. Now it is clear to me that they were nothing more than lackeys, enforcers sent to do the bidding for their boss. They were the REAL" foot soldiers", blindly following senseless orders to insure the success and sate the avarice of their Commander-In-Chief, VPW.
