interTWIning?!-----------"Forsooth!" as Snagglepuss might have said. Anyhow, You are mighty quick on the draw. Itchycoo Park was the nickname given to a park (Little llford Park) that was near lead singer Steve Marriotts' boyhood home. And to that I say----------------------"NEXT!"

Yeah, Mr. Strange. Stashing away mayo for use at some unseen time in the future suddenly seems like not such a shmart idea.

Watered Garden & Potato-----------Man, I wish you didn't both have names that remind me it's past dinner time! Anyhoo, I looked up "glory" in The Merriam Webster Dictionary and what I found was that "glory" is honor and praise.It goes on to say that the honor and praise is rendered in worship. Now, I'm not too "up" on current slang but is that what the kids mean by giving someone their "props"? Now those lunkheads( Is that still a word?) at St. Marys' Hospital might have figured some of that honor and praise should have been funneled in their direction. (Of course they were sorely mistaken)As far as being strong, ,it's not our own strength that matters so much but the strength of the one we look to for strength. And you are right, Potato,it was moi who used the word "use". It was like suddenly I remembered how riled up I used to get when I heard non-TWI people pray for God to make them an "instrument of his will". I'm getting better at recognizing those triggers though sometimes I think I still have a ways to go in learning to temper my response. Thanks, Motherof2, for bringing some of this stuff to the front burner. OK., my grandson Cletus(that's his name) just said "Gosh Grandpaw!, you're gettin' way too sappy!" Now where do you suppose a young 'un like that heard a word like "sappy"?

Motherof2-----------One of the concepts I think TWI may have gotten right(at least in the early days) was that God does not "use" us in a manner that would violate our freewill. This is one of those things that became deeply imbedded in the subconscious thinking of TWI followers. When the term is used, it sends up an automatic "red flag" that goes beyond cognizant awareness.That's how mind control works. There are many phrases and buzz words that have that kind of effect. There are some threads here that speak specifically to that subject. The closest thing I know to describe it is the Hollywood version of someone being hypnotised to feel like their skin itches every time someone says he word "duck". Of course, that's not really how hypnosis works, but that is the image we have come to accept from the entertainment media. My point is that in using that phrasing, it will probably trigger a response from ex-TWIers that even they don't understand. Having read your previous posts, I feel pretty confident you did not mean it in that manner or that you knew you would trigger a programmed response.( I'm only speaking of my own response which I am starting to recognize as being deep rooted) Of course, once one realizes this is happening,it become much easier to respond to it in a logical rather than automatic manner. Like you, I believe God should always get the glory for healings even though we may be an active part in the process either though prayer, ministering healing or intervening by providing medical attention. I probably didn't explain that very well but I think I saw from the gist of your post that your heart was for God to get the Glory. That's an honorable stance to take. (Just my opinion.) :) edited for spelling.

I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up and feed the ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nice and have fun in the sun.

Whiter Shade of Pale---------Procol Harum Their original guitarist left the group because he didn't feel there was enough emphasis on guitar. His name was-----------Robin Trower!

Upon moving to a new town, a man decides he would like to join a church. He stops at the first one he encounters and states his intentions. The minister informs him he must first answer a test question. He willingly submits as the minister asks him;"Where was Jesus born?" The man quickly answers "Pittsburgh". The minister informs him he has failed the test but kindly points out that there is another church just across the street.At the second church he again is asked;"Where was Jesus born?" This time he responds "Harrisburgh". Again the minister points him in the direction of another church. At the third church he states his intentions and the minister says;"Welcome to the fold". The man is delighted. He decides to ask the minister for the correct answer to;"Where was Jesus born?" The minister is quick to tell him it was Bethlehem. "Dang it!", said the man, I KNEW it was SOMEPLACE in Pennsylvania!" Merry Christmas to all.

Love,hate,anger and feelings are all part of your emotional package,CK. They are all part of the five senses realm. So you see if you were to walk entirely by the spirit, your life would be void of these and other emotions. That doesn't sound like a very pleasant way to go through life,now does it? You have made reference to your signature which states that you are of the conviction that Dr. Wierwille was an apostle. It is customary,when making such a statement, to offer some type of documentation or proof to validate your claim. Simple scriptural reference defining what an apostle is might be a good starting point. Again I invite you to simply state your background and experience in a factual manner. Without that, it's difficult to give credence to anything you post. Merry Christmas,CK.

"Balls!" cried the Queen. If I had(two/to/too) I could be King. The Jester laughed because he had(two/to/too). A little boy answers a knock at the door only to be greeted by a salesman. The salesman asks to speak to the boys' mother. The little boy replies; "She ain't home." "Little boy", says the salesman, "Where is your grammar?" "Oh",says the little boy, "She's upstairs washin' her hair."

OK---It's "Journey to the Center of the Mind" by The Amboy Dukes featuring Ted"The Motor City Madman"Nugent. Now as to who gets the next one, I think it should be determined by a race to the keypad. On your mark, set,---------------GO!

You would think that with a name like "Miracle Whip" VPW would have claimed he invented it. ( Now that I think of it, the "miracle" part of the name makes sense also) I don't know if Watered Garden would remember, but we used to make our own from scratch in Fellowlaborers. We had to make a weeks' supply for 50 people as part of our food co-op called "Manna".(Pretty original,huh?) It actually tasted quite good. I don't think it would be such a good idea these days with all the pathagens associated with eggs. Count my vote as one in favor of mayo.

"The things in my life have no place for facts, just truth". You see, CK, that is nothing more than "mumbo jumbo". I too remember hearing how "truth is everything and facts are nothing" or something to that effect. Is it fact or truth that you exhale to expell what you have inhaled? Perhaps it is both. If facts mean nothing , try forgetting to inhale sometime. Where exactly is that scripture that tells us facts are useless? The Bible is loaded with facts,CK, such as: "SO and SO" begat "What's His Name" who begat "Some Other Guy"and on and on. These are statements of fact. God must have thought facts to be pretty important because The Bible is chock full of them. Without facts how exactly would one trace the lineage of Jesus? Have you ever read the book that The Way published that shows the chronology of Jesus Christ? It's full of facts. So once again I ask you to simply state for the record what your background and experience with The Way and Dr. Wierwille is. Without doing at least that, it's difficult to really take anything you say seriously. And that's a fact!----BTW. It was God who gave us our five senses. Do you suppose he made a mistake? No one can walk entirely by the spirit . Read the gospels sometime and you will see plenty of examples of how Jesus excersised his five senses. And that's the truth!

"God bless us every one."

CK----In post #213 you have said:"The things I have seen will never compare to the things you have seen. The things I have done will never compare to you."(sic) Was it your intent to state that the things you have seen and done are in some way inferior to what others here have seen and done? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant to state the opposite of what you did. With that said, can you be more specific in citing these things you have done and seen? No philosophical mumbo jumbo, just straight forward specific facts,please.

PB-----Very"cool"!

Rick----I don't "ignore" your audio posts, I just don't have the technical capabilities to enjoy them. I'm gonna have to kick my son in the pants and have him get some of this stuff fixed. Of course if he sees this post, my goose is cooked and I'll be "text only" for a long time. PM me if you are playing somewhere in the central Ohio area. I would love to get out and cheer you on.

Amen, Tater &CC-------I believe God can and does heal. I've seen it in my own life as well as others. What I don't believe,though, is that VPW and TWI understood what it is and how it works. (Not that I do either but then I'm not claiming to have the inside track on it. ) Maybe we're not supposed to "understand" it. Maybe we're just supposed to be thankful for it. Just my opinion ------------everybody's got one.

Beyond the seas of thought Beyond the realm of what Across the streams of hopes and dreams Where things are really not

OOPS!---------The avitar did me in. I thought the question was from Socks(I should have known better) Thanks, Sprawled, for posting that pic. and thanks to Chas. for solving the mystery. I'm still puzzled by the color though. It appears green in the picture. Do you recall anything about the color from the VH1 broadcast, Sprawled? I'm also suprised to find that this axe was such a recent project of Fender. I would have guessed late '60's.

CK-----If you could sum up your purpose in posting here in one short sentence, what would that purpose be?

Socks-----The logo appears to say "Fender" but the headstock is rolled backwards from a typical fender. Miro Frets had a similar headstock, though there does not appear to be a "miro-nut" and there is still the problem of the logo. I checked out Dave Keuning on the web and this is not one of his listed axes.

But please realise You'll probably be surprised For it's the land unknown to man Where fantasy is fact.

Timothy Leary's dead!! No! No! He's outside looking in! Oh. Sorry. The answer is : Legend of the Mind----------The Moody Blues (astral traveling was never all it was cracked up to be.)

Sudo----------You are cor-ect. Bette Nesmith Graham invented "cor-ection fluid" and founded the Liquid Paper Co. in 1951. In 1966, Bic introduced a "new and improv-d" version called "Wite Out". "White Out" has become the generic term for "cor-ection fluid". (This post has been typ-d and edit-d by a blonde) :) "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent."
