  1. Hello, Roy, I don't hate you.
  2. Suzy Creamcheese, oh mama now What's got into ya?
  3. If only he'd left a literal translation according to usage. Maybe a word study will solve the mystery.
  4. Yeah, but bass players MAKE the rules. (Ok, drummers get a vote on them, too.)
  5. Hiya, Mike. Uhhm....You do know that cult and occult aren't the same thing, right?
  6. This isn't about who was and who wasn't in the Corps, it's about how VPW laced his doctrinal stew with ingredients culled from the occult. That story about a mother's fear being responsible for her little boy's death? Straight out of the occult. The red drapes and camera analogy? Occult. "What you're confessing is what you're possessing."? Yep... occult. This isn't complicated. It's about as straightforward as you can get. And where will you find evidence of this stuff? Well, what do you know, right there in the collaterals. Oh, but wait a minute, I thought the collaterals were divinely inspired. Gimme a break.
  7. Well, at least that lady got the red drapes she wanted. So, there's that.
  8. Red Drapes: She should have just said she was afraid she would only be able to find apartments with red drapes. Skip all the other steps. Fear is power in the machinery of...apartment hunting.
  9. shonta shonta bo bonta, banana fana fo fanta That's it. That's it. You move your tongue. You move your lips. You put your right foot in and your left foot out. That's what it's all about...My little children.
  10. I'm no fish expert, but that appears to be a Common Sucker.
  11. "TWI Verbal Traditions" were an absolutely essential ingredient in The Way's success. Without personal reinforcement of doctrine and behavior at the twig level, the written materials would never have been enough to hold anyone's fealty to the organization or its agenda. That's why the organization was so hell-bent on promoting frequent twig fellowship attendance. This is pretty much true of any cult-like group, not just The Way. If you attended twig fellowships on a regular basis, you could not have simply avoided exposure to it and it continues to permeate our thought processes, whether you think it does or not. .
  12. Reddit is a great place to do that efficiently.
  13. Nah. Nothing that exotic. He was just another liar who couldn't keep the details straight from one lie to the next..
  14. Well, ya see, I want to use my cell phone to call my snow boots but my cell phone can only talk to other electronic devices. (You may have noticed snow boots aren't electronic devices.) So my cell phone implants a really tiny cell phone in my snow boots and that cell phone can now talk to my snow boots even though, because it's also an electronic device, it can only talk to other electronic devices. And then.......Uhhh....something magical happens and the devil pulls a rabbit out of his hat...or puts it back in his hat...or something. (I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids.)
  15. Christian Etiquette Lots of good, old fashioned common sense advice. I still have a copy. My main take away from the book is that, no matter how formally correct or proper your etiquette may be, if it makes people uncomfortable it's wrong. Excerpt from page 5: "The essence of good manners is consideration. There are specific points of how and what, but when you are considerate of the feelings of others, their sensibilities, their opinions and their welfare, you are manifesting innate courtesy on which all manners are based." Slurping noodles in America?... Rude. Slurping noodles in Korea or Japan?...Totally expected and acceptable.
  16. One ex-corps proceeded back. Hahahahaha!
  17. I didn't get one either, but I assume it's because they haven't yet noticed my absence. edit: "We sure do love you."
  18. My father-in-law wrote a fairly lengthy memoir of his WWII experiences as an Army officer. With the help of my wife, he self-published it. It was only intended for a small, family audience, to aid in documenting family history. I assure you, though, it most definitely is "published".
