  4. RG I love the dumpling recipe--I will make that one soon. The rest are great too. Thanks--I hope others try them. I will let you know how they turn out. Cranberries are another New England favorite--and I love the combination with apples--thanks so much! I do freeze breads--zucchini and other seasonal stuff. Canning? Well, when I was a kid--my two great aunts would can every summer. HUGE production--and all I remember is the dire warnings if it wasn't done right. So, I always think I will poison my poor family. True and you can freeze much easier and safely. I made jelly once and was pouring it into a canning jar--somehow ended up pouring it on my hand. That was a fun trip to the ER as it was boiling hot and STUCK to my hand!! Ooooooouch!!!! Well, I can understand your reluctance to "Can", so perhaps Freezer jam would be better for You and it is easy, good and you can make variance and use sugar substitutes as well. Freezer Berry Jam INGREDIENTS 4 cups blueberries 2 cups raspberries 5 cups sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3/4 cup water 1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, crush the blueberries. Add raspberries and crush. Stir in sugar and lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring water and pectin to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to fruit mixture; stir for 3 minutes. Pour into jars or freezer containers; cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate or freeze. Strawberry Freezer Jam or substitute raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, apricots, peaches, cherries and plums in place of the strawberries. You may also add rhubarb to the strawberry jam INGREDIENTS (Nutrition) 2 cups crushed fresh strawberries 4 cups sugar 1 (1.75 ounce) package dry pectin 3/4 cup water DIRECTIONS Mix crushed strawberries with sugar, and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the pectin into the water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and boil for 1 minute. Stir the boiling water into the strawberries. Allow to stand for 3 minutes before pouring into jars or other storage containers. Place tops on the containers, and leave for 24 hours. Place into freezer, and store frozen until ready to use. The bread recipe I posted--it really is an awesome bread--I hope you both try it--it will become a regular. So, goooood! I have to wait one more week to try it, as I want to use "Laurel Reds"...I get my Apple in LaCresent, Minnesota at Bauer's Market. They even call you to let you know when each variety is due in...They say they are the Apple Capitol of the World and they are celebrating Apple Fest soon!They in truth are just one of the many great Apple Capitols of the world. I can't wait to taste your bread...it makes my mouth water :) Thanks!!!
  5. French Cranberry-Apple Pie Tart cranberries add a delicious twist to traditional apple pie. Crust: Make Your own favorite pie crust recipe or use a preprepared one The Filling: 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (4 medium) 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries; If using frozen cranberries, thaw and drain before adding to apples 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg The Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Dash nutmeg 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/3 cup chopped pecans DIRECTIONS 1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass. 2. In large bowl, gently mix apples and cranberries. In small bowl, mix remaining filling ingredients. Add dry ingredients to fruit; toss to coat. Pour into crust-lined pan. 3. In small bowl, mix all topping ingredients except butter and pecans. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle evenly over filling. 4. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until apples are tender, and crust and topping are golden brown. After 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. If desired, serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Geisha, Your cinnamon candies would be great in this!!! :) Although it is a lot of work, freezing ready made up apple desserts is a great idea; if You have the freezer space and the time. Pies and dumplings are best frozen before baking. Cakes and breads hold up better after baking. Canning homemade apple sauce and apple pie fillings (with special additions of Cinnamon candies, cranberries rubbarb, pears...etc},or canning apple butter are great ways to preserve your apples and they make very nice homemade gifts for holidays and special occasions. You can decorate these gifts so beautifully and simply!!! Canning isn't difficult; just a little expensive in the beginning. Getting the canner pan, and the jars and the rings and lids. They look so beautiful in your pantry. They are an economical and nutritious homemade time saver for months to come. This an old fashioned solution for those who need to deal every apple season with what to do with all those healthy and delicious apples
  6. My log in is still remaining consistently stable! Have any of you pmed GT??? The first week of the GRSC Format changes I had all the troubles that You all have had and more as I took a browser upgrade from Outlook Explorer 7 to Gears and then to Outlook explorer Beta 8; when they force you to take the automatic upgrade to 8 after removing Gears. I will Never take beta again I had no margins or scrolling in the post box and the link features would not work at all. I have very bad arthritis in my fingers and need to constantly edit everything...it was 10x's as hard to do under those circumstances. After I removed beta I was stable again. That probably is not the cause for Your issues, but I wanted to let everyone know that beta is quite unstable in some forums. GT said to delete history and cookies too that did help some! I empathize with all your frustrations, and I hope someone with knowledge helps You All soon!!!!! (incidentally,The beta 8 uninstall is hidden in updates in add and remove on vista)

  12. I was in for 25 years. It is very difficult to recover from such interwoven entanglements of good and bad. I came to GRSC the end of January 2007 and stayed until November 2007. I came back this last June or July. The last 10 years after being marked and avoided because I would not give up my specially abled son to better serve GOD, to attend all functions and classes and to go Corpse was when I discovered GRSC. I was shocked, amazed and deeply hurt for myself and all the the victims of TWI to find out the hidden agendas that lied unknown to me in the underbelly of TWI. Before I came here I had read information on a wide variety of off- shoot sites and the POP. I didn't know what to believe even though some of the pieces that puzzled me started to fit together. I had done everything that I possibly could. I took all the classes, we went "wow" Josh even with a 2 minute attention span sat through all the class and spoke in tongues as prescribed....on his own and does on his own even now at times. We did everything that we could possibly do and were still becoming more and more the reject ables. Too needy and too unavailable to service the cause. Same standard that the world holds was being applied under a different guise that I knew was wrong. Just because we were members of TWI did not necessarily mean that all our former fears and prejudices could not rear their ugly heads at our own wills These were many of the people that I had believed prayed for Josh when He was born and 4 month's later had kidney surgery . The doctor said in the middle of the surgery that he had removed the damaged kidney, but thought it was impossible to repair and to attach the other one. I prayed that GOD would fix it because I knew our whole branch was praying for Josh and they knew how to believe so I asked GOD to save him. I told that brilliant, brilliant surgeon to go back in and do whatever he could and should do and that GOD would do the rest. He looked at me like I had blown His mind and somewhat compassionately too. After 4 months waiting for Josh to breathe on his own. I knew GOD would not let Him die. Many of You may not understand this, but in a great many ways my experiences with and in TWI were really unique. I understand that all of our experiences in anything are uniquely our own in understanding and perspective. Each of our views of TWI are so intertwined with the people we spend those years with. The differences that were mainly unique to me were that I was in TWI near the beginning when perhaps VPW's intents and actions were not fully skewed and far less known at my level or in my area. When I was witnessed too by D@l0res Dere$ha, Micheal Dur*nce, and Ted J%ck$on, I was a Flower Child/Cocktail Waitress running a popcorn wagon for a friend in my open evenings. It was in a 60's type drug using, free love style neighborhood The people were kinda gaudy running around with glittered sheets on, smelling of incense, patchily and weed a searching culture...an extended remnant of the die-hard Hippie culture of the 60's. They D.D, M.D. and T.J. were so loving and kind to me. They would visit there and walk me home and carry my small TV up 6 to 8 flights of stairs for me many a night. They knew that I didn't feel entirely safe there and did not subscribe to the drugs and free love part of that culture and society. They had invited me to their Fellowship and meetings and I went to some. I was kind of scared of them too as all my life I had seen GOD's hand present over and over rescuing and protecting me; so I only wanted to know the truth about him. I was afraid of them because they seemed so interested in me. I wasn't used to that. Several times I asked them point blank what they wanted and why the came??? I never really gave them my full attention; I was always daydreaming or lost in my own thoughts categorizing, analyzing and sorting life's anomalies. Of course, I really didn't know the norms from the anomalies either...but I thought extensively on it all! A lot of the rest of the time I was lost in music and my friends; until the following event! One day T.J. had asked me to come to a picnic or something of that sort. I said that I would come and He had arranged to pick me up. He came as he had said he would. He climbed all those stairs and knocked on my door. Me, :( I pretended I wasn't home. I was scared to go and equally ashamed that I was hiding from such truly genuinely loving and kind people who in fact were also seeking to know GOD and His word truly with innocence and purity. T.J went all the way back to the event several miles away. To my amazement He tried again about an hour later. He came back all that way for me. He had gone so many extra miles both literally and figuratively, it spoke volumes to my heart. I was so taken by His love, His honesty and His integrity concerning GOD and His Word that I was convinced to fellowship with them. That was my entrance into TWI. Shortly after I took the class and I went to my first ROA's. It was still in Lima. We went in J#rry #lg#r's (I think that was His name anyway) car an old beater. No real preparations, just real heart and desire to be there! We collectively had no money for gas, no tents or camping gear and very little money to eat on. How did we get there??? I have no other explanation but that GOD somehow decided to rescue us and get us there! We never broke down or ran out of gas and when we arrived immediately we were invited in and given places to stay throughout the entire ROA's It was as advertised like heaven on earth. All I met the were generously loving, GOD hungry people. Now to answer Your questions as best that I can Ala: My question is... I wonder if leaving TWI will really change things for them? [b]Somethings will change! The more I sort out , grow and learn. Somethings don't need to change, not ever thing was wrong. Their agenda was wrong and the twisting of the Word was wrong and their despicable abuses were indeed wrong. The genuine love and heart of the many seeking God's true Word and heart was not wrong[/b] Will they still walk down the street and believe God for it to not rain because they're shopping that day? No not in this manner; but I will always believe in prayer and signs wonders and miracles; and that they are still available to us all, as GOD is! Will they still believe that they have been taught the greatest truths anyone has ever known since before the 1st century church? Somewhat, possibly because the things that were godly from GOD's word do not change; and they were not all on their doctrinal agendas or all being twisted Will they despise church goers and believe that those who do are sad sad sad pathetic peons being used by the seed boy himself ... the pope? NO, It was the genuine People's hearts and love that drew me nearer to GOD. Some people in TWI never believed that or a lot of their other doctrines..We knew we weren't allowed to question them. Being part of something does not always mean that You willingly accept all of it Will they believe that revelation is right there for them to listen to that still small voice in order to know where to find that bathroom in the dept store? No, I think many of us want only to hear the genuine still small voice of GOD as it is intended by GOD and His Word to be All those years that we were encased and intertwinedtogether with genuinely good and godly people and some very bad and devious people, a great many varied lessens were learned. It is a big thing to sort out and untangle from it all. I will keep the good memories and heal from the old disfunctional ones, along with my old disfunctions one that I brought with me into TWI. I will use more wisdom; I don't know whether or not I would have sought out GOD without them; the people I willalways love from TWI. GOD's foreknowledge of my life tells me He was there and that He knew I would survive it, glean from it and move on! Inquiring minds want to know..... edited to correct grammar and add
  13. I think that Greta Van Susteren would be the better choice for interviewers as well. She is so credible, so real, and a truly involved interviewer. I am not sure how these things are arranged but, perhaps if enough people e-mailed her with the specific request to interview Kristen Skedgell and review her book she might get involved. If comments on the book were includes and a copy of the book it might interest her. She does her homework well and investigates a wide variety of sources. Maybe she would even visit GRSC to add to the piece in some way!

    We Remember

    We Remember You All and pray for ((((Your Families and Loved Ones))))!!!What a price we all have paid since then and continue paying!!!
  17. Happy Birthday Jesus Christ!!! Whether or not today is the exact date of your Birth or the 29th or some other nearby date we are not too sure. May We All do at least one thing today that makes You smile!!! We are not to sure about all too many things any more. As You know!!! We have been a little confused, hoodwinked for too many years of our lives. There is so much that we don't understand; Yet, me, myself, I am still and will always be thankful to You and GOD for allowing me to through those very difficult and hurtful years in TWI to study Your Word and become saved/born-again. Thank You for healing our Hearts, minds, bodies and souls! Thank You for directing our way and illuminating our understanding! Thanks for being our defense attorney and loving us even when we are not always very thankful or lovable! More than ever we need You defending us now. Seems like the seeing through a glass darkly is even dimmer now a days. Thank You for studying GOD's Words and knowing it perfectly as to be it's living example to us! Thank You for taking our places and suffering and dying for our sins, so that we may live in eternity with You and GOD! Which I hope will be soon! You are totally Innocent. Innocence is so fleeting for us. Everything about Your and GOD's Love is so beyond our abilities to truly understand. Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thank You for this love and care and watching over that You bestow on us every moment of our lives. Thank You for Your Loving kindnesses to us GOD and Your forgiveness of this time we are living in and searching in. I know that we never really lost You...but are searching for clarity. I know that You never lost us! Help us all to find You again according to Your will and not our own!
  18. I agree with You, Jeff! Isn't it strange that most victimizers know the wrongs they inflict and even know what GOD says they will receive in recompense for their deeds and they still repeatedly do it! Can You even imagine what a self justification system they have going! I am glad I am not GOD or any of them! They must have their consciouses seared!
  19. No wonder I can't find it anywhere! I missed that it will be reschedualed. It pays to read carefully

  23. (((Lindy and All))), I did understand your intent. I added it into my post, because I knew that elements of my statements may appear to some as naive and gullible. When I said that I validated WD's defense of maligning or impugning anyone's reputation; it is in fact victimizing them...whether or not they Victimized You first or not all, it is still victimizing. It hurts as much as any other form of abuse. Do we abuse, because we were abused??? Then it never ends and we stop trying to prevent it I validated Rascal and Geisha and all victims likewise for defending the victims from being re victimized. We have all been victims and even victimizers at times. Sometimes intentionally people set out to victimize others from a deviously conceived purpose within themselves. Most of us never intentionally victimize anyone. It is a result of poor judgment or misunderstanding; some unintentioned action that hurt someone to . Then there are all the degrees of intent in between unintentional and intentional actions. I was in essence trying to say that it is right to valiantly defend against victimization and to also say that we can only go so far into this quest, because of our limited knowledge in the individual person’s life or testimony. That only GOD and the person testifying know what is the whole truth and that bearing false wittiness is a very serious matter with GOD. Whether we accuse, judge, or convict people in our own minds and hearts...Here , there or anywhere; is a moot point. GOD is the only judge who judges rightly, justly and fairly. He is the only one with a wide enough lens in His eyes to see all..through and through! I see the many different sides of victim and victimization and sadly it is something we All continually do to one another all the time...sometimes even unknowingly. That is why we are to endeavor to love our neighbor as ourselves. Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Yet if we have been victimized so much that our trust is damaged and eroded or we have become so hurt and angry we have difficulty getting past it; we can unknowingly victimize or revictimize people by acting out our victimization on them. No one goes unscathed, we all have been hurt and abused in some manner or another! Can't we use our resourses to better help one another. As an example: Lindy and WhiteDove are brilliant resourseful men. Geisha and Rascal have champion hearts filled with Love and deep compassion and the courage of Lions; and the wisdom to match anyone! We ALL have special and unique capacities and gifts to give in Love: 1Cr 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. 1Cr 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 1Cr 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 1Cr 12:17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? 1Cr 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 1Cr 12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? 1Cr 12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. 1Cr 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 1Cr 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 1Cr 12:23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. 1Cr 12:24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: 1Cr 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 1Cr 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 1Cr 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. The Following quote is from The Evan in Abi's, "Losing the Way Kristine Skegell Thread"...and I have never heard it put so well and IMHO indisputably correctly so! "Keith, I think the short answer is that deviant sexual predators have an uncanny 'nose' for the vulnerable, those whose fences aren't solidly in place. People that have been abused simply don't have the equipment to escape on their own and the abuser senses this. It's heartbreaking to think that the most fragile...those on need of gentlest treatment, instead got carefully set up and abused in the most callous manner." The Evan!!!!!! I applaud You for your astounding wisdom and insight
  24. (((Lindyhopper))))) and ((((WhiteDove))))) and ((((All))), I love and respect You both as I Love and respect everyone!!! Reading these two posts clearly shows me Your hearts and Your intents!!! I sometime think You are misunderstood at times; and that is a two way street...sometimes We all misunderstand!!! I don't think Your motives are to attack or to persecute other posters...Just that You valiantly want you views validated. They are valid! I accept the testimonies of other posters as valid as well; and not because I am naive or gullable; but because I am not their judge, jury or accuser. If they are bearing false wittiness against their neighbor; they know it and GOD knows it too. It is every man's decision to moment by moment to be truthful or not...It is a free will choice and no one is accountable to me!!! We have All been Hurt badly and Had our Trust breeched and some of us may never trust very much again!!!
  25. Thank You (((((White Dove)))), Everyone here, at the very least respects You and knows that you are a very intelligent person with a wealth of knowledge and information at Your fingertips and a willingness to give unselfishly!!! You are a brilliant thoughtful person!!! Most people see Your Loving Giving Heart!!! You are Loved by many and by GOD!!! A Few understand You and Your motives!!! Some disagree with You and some do not...that never equates to not loving You!!! On average that unfortunately is how it is for most of us, that is one reason we are here; to show our hearts and our views...in hopes that we reach out and touch and bless some reader's hearts and live's...even if we may never know who they are!!! Please Don't be so discouraged....have some coffee!!! We ought to have a thread where we honor the members and let them know what they mean to us all!!!
