Anthony is such a beautiful little boy! I'm a little jealous, though. A tank top and shorts at the end of October? We're in our winter coats here.

Your pumpkin is way cool too. We have one, but never got around to carving it! I can't decide whether to bake it up, and use it for stuff like pumpkin butter, and of course the roasted seeds, or if I should just hack it up, and let the wildlife enjoy it. Any suggestions?

I'm glad I moved to Milwaukee. (318) Its so much safer than Indianapolis (320), where I used to live.

Here's the complete list so you can see how safe your city is. http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/li...030131109990008

Chas, I can't wait to see your pictures. I bet they're cuties!

Bozz, Your place just gets better and better! I wish I was a child in your neighborhood!

Trick or Treat was this weekend here. And in the middle of the afternoon. We had quite a few childrfen come that were taller than Drty Dzn! And he said one that looked as old as him. :blink:

Belle, we did use your idea and went to tha party as black-eyed peas. No one knew what we were. Some didn't even know what we were even after we told them!

The residents were telling stories about what they did on Halloween night. There's one woman who lives there, and has the names of all the staff on a sheet of paper so she can pray for each and every one of us. She told me how she used to soap windows, and was especially delighted when there were screens in the windows, because they were the hardest to remove soap from. And a man who rides the church van every Sunday, and carries his Bible with him, told me he used to go to the back of the houses, way deep in the woods, and tip over his neighbor's outhouses!

I'm confident you'll find something too, and fast!

Sending good thoughts.

DMiller, You're an Indiana boy, and you went out of your way to help Drty Dnz's mother-in-law, who is my mother. In my eyes you can do no wrong. While I do appreciate that you do not want to say anything that will hurt or offend anyone, please don't feel like you need to repress your voice. Especially if it leads to a greater truth.

Roy, homosexuality is not for me either. But one of my best friends is a gay man. You should see all that he has to go through just because he loves a man instead of a woman. And the people who treat him the worst are the people who claim to love Christ the most. It makes me ashamed.

But that leads me to another "doctrine" of TWI. That any two believers (as long as they're male and female, lol!) can make a marriage work. If you were married to me, when you got home from work, I might say, "Sorry honey! I'm too busy singing Kum Ba Ya with my friends the PETA activists, and the Gay Rights squad to fix dinner. But there's a tofu bowl in the fridge!" Now, Drty Dzn would be happy there was a party happening, and would fix food for everyone. But I would guess 75% of the guys that post here would not be happy! And that's ok. Since when was it sinful to be yourself?

Clearly, the more important question is, did it cause you to become gay???

After all, watching a parody that includes a transvestite is bound to alter your sexual orientation, don'tcha know.

I hope it was a blast!

I want to hear everything! How did everyone like your costume?

TWI always taught that homosexuality was wrong. In fact TWI says if you are gay, you are possesed with the worse devil spirit of them all! Horrors!

When I look at passages that TWI used to defend their position, it either talked about strange flesh which I feel is about sleeping with angels, or about idolitry. I never saw where it was wrong for two adult men or two adult women to form a loving and committed relationship.

Kit, Zaba search is good. http://www.zabasearch.com/

You can try NetTrace. It has multiple search engines listed in one place. http://www.nettrace.com.au/resource/search/people.html

About.com has an article on how to look for people for free. http://websearch.about.com/od/peoplesearch/

I hope you find what you need!

Bringing it back to the top, cause its just too good to miss!

Yeah, but yours is way better Garth, cause its all about the video!

This is the best video ever! I must have played it 500,000 times. Did you know you can buy his white and nerdy sweatshirt? So, cool! Thanks Garth!

When speaking of someone M&A I said that they were kicked out of the ministry. I was quickly corrected that they weren't kicked out of the ministry, "they kicked themselves out of the ministry."

When Drty Dzn and I left the Way Corps, I was brought before JAL. He said that I had to leave, but he said I wasn't kicked out, I chose to leave. Drty Dzn was brought before LCM and was asked if he wanted to go LOA for a year. Drty said no, he was going to drop from corps. LCM said "You can tell people you're kicked out then."

He's amazing. Love and good things to you both.

Are you sure this is just a thread lamenting singleness? When I see things like it takes too much effort to breathe, or no one would notice if I was dead, well, no one should feel this way.

Sometimes, most of the time, when I feel like this, its not enough to talk with friends. Its these dark times when its best to talk with someone professionally trained to help us when we feel this down.

I don't know what going on in your lives that's hurting you right now. Its none of my business. But I do know that there are many, many people here at Greasespot that care about you both.

Please call someone.

Dot, I am so, so, very sorry! OMG! What an absolutely horrible experience for you to go through.

I don't even try to keep up with Stephan Hawking. But he's revered in our house. I live with three science majors (my husband and two children). When we're all together, the topic quickly turns to what's being learned in class, what the newest scientific dicovery is, and the latest research that is happening. They become quite animated. My contribution to these conversations are usually limited to "Hmm," or "Wow!"

I might do a little better with 5th grade probabilities than with theoretical physics, but not much better! Eddie sure is lucky that its you that is there for him.

Thanks for answering my question about healing. I'm glad it was easy for you! Everything is hard for me, lol!

I'll think about what you said. Its good to get another person's perpsective on things, at least for me. Sometimes the answers are right there, but my thinking becomes tunneled, and I can't see them. But if someone tries to help, even if they can't show me the correct answer, at least they get me to change the direction of my thinking. Like your eyes of your understanding being opened.

Did that make any sense? LOL! Anyway, thanks!

Roy, I have a quick question. You know how the Bible says, "by his stripes we were healed"? Well, if we were healed once, because of all that Christ went through for us, then why do we need all these different ways to be healed? Why would we need gifts of healing? Why would we need communion? Why would we need anyone to lay holy hands on us? Why would we need someone to pray for us?

DD, yeah, I agree. By the way, did you know Weird Al is selling white&nerdy sweatshirts on his Myspace page? For $49. I wonder if someone has a birthday next month? Or maybe celebrates Christmas the month after that?

I like how the cartoon wows were sent to Offshoot, Idaho. Maybe it was revelation!

I'm going to try one of the wowisms with my son.

Me: Son, try some tofu.

Son: Ugh! No way! I'm off to McDonalds.

Me: Just renew your tastebuds to this good physical food.

Yeah, I think it'll work.

I don't want to take sides. I'm sure both of you are wonderful people and I would be proud to be friends with either of you.

But Allan, why do you care what Templelady believes? I could see if you had a vested interest in her, i.e. she was your sister, daughter, or other relative. I just don't know what's in your heart. I know you don't agree with vegetarian philosophy, but you're cool with me. What's different between you and Templelady?

Templelady, I dated a boy in highschool who went to a LDS church. He was very nice, and his family (all mormon) treated me (non-mormon) well. We would go on dates to his church, where I learned to polka! LOL! God must have been working, because I married Drty Dzn, and moved to Milwaukee where people polka before they can walk! Anyway, this boy and I would go to the movies, and sit in the back row and kiss. Well, we grew up and he went on a mission? Like out WOW? He sent me a letter asking for forgivness for taking advantage of me. I thought, huh? All he did was kiss me. I wasn't too smart back then. The point I'm trying to make is, maybe there are some faults and wrong doctrine to the LDS church, I don't know. But they raise up some fine people. And I think your church is the most fun!

This is how to tell if a man is a geek.

I found this: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/The-Way/ but I'm like you, Sudo. I've never heard of Jim until this thread
