A few of my all-time favorite electric guitar leads through the years: Produced by Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. Eddie Van Halen on guitars:

Looking forward to your selections Krys! In the meantime, here's one of my all time favorite sing-alongs, including the instrumental solos.

Sounds about right Skyrider! LOL!

Nor do I want to. TTFN.

They are NOT "lurid allegations" Modgellan! They are LURID FACTS! However if you insist on changing the names to protect the guilty..... so be it. I have less concern for the unrepentant, morally deficient criminals than you, apparently........peace.

Panasmello was in the 4th corpse when I was. His second year, he started bangin' Connie Em:r$0n, Spayshull corpse I, spouse of the ultimate dickhead Doug Em:r$0n, a notorious 4 time corpse loser! Dougie-pooh banged everything in sight. When they graduated the spayshull corpse (name changed to FC I), they returned to NC. In a month, Dougie ran off with one Karen Ca5mac€k, a favorite slut from ECU who banged her way through a bunch of TWIt and ECU "leaders". She eventually wound up in the 7th corpse and married Bill Ma€#arg, who was originally from Long Island, NY, Nassau County Area. That was a complete joke. Later, in the late 1990's, she was bangin' John Lynn the great. She was the one whose sexual tryst with jallyroll got him fired from CES for moral turpitude. She was quite the slut in her day! And, she single handledly took down jally's presidency of CES/STFI prior to him getting fired by Schoenheit and Graesers. A better, more lurid soap opera could not have been scripted. And, Ca5ma€k took down a whole slew of ECU legends in her time, plus Ma€#arg. Bill was killed in a car crash which conveniently left Ca5ma€k free to return to her slutty ways. IMO, they all earned each other and the interpersonal disasters they inflicted upon themselves. Ca5ma€k was a longtime sidekick of Karla An@€rson and Karla's sister was her BFF back then. There's plenty more lurid garbage she was involved with throughout her TWIt career, but it's not relevant to this thread. So, Panasmello winds up marrying €m€rson's first reject, and later becomes Trunk guy after sticking his head so far up da forehead's butt that he got a raging case of chronic octarectalitis! After being a happy hit man for da Boyz in da hoods during the 1990s, Panasmello eventually drifted off to Toledo, OH, where he started his own cult after being shit-canned by Rosie the Riveter. He remains there to this day running his TWIt-lite wierwille-worshipping cult. LOSER! i knew both panasmello and Connie. Panasmello was from Nassau County Area of the early 70s Long Island revival. I spent my interim year in NC, while Dougie-pooh and Connie were in the spayshull corpse at NK with the 5th corpse, interim 4th corpse who did their interim year on staff at NK, and the 1st corpse who were back at HQ doing the first returning corpse "sabbatical" reprogramming year. It was a complete zoo of pathological dysfunction and sexual promiscuity that set the tone for all the following TWIt history from 1974 forward. Panasmello and his smarmy Connie still run some kind of wierwille offshoot in Toledo. They have a small group of waynutz that are still stuck on wierwille stupid, preaching the same useless garbage their faddah in da woid programmed into their shallow identities. Panasmello is a wierwille pimp. He's a Rivenbark whore now trying to redeem himself for all the anti-Christ crap he's been teaching and living since 1977. I have no more respect for them than I do for da forehead and his lesbian lovers Rosie and Lombardi. Lying, thieving, hypocrites and whited sepulchers all. Their "bema time" is gonna be like Marie Antoinette at the guillotine. Rewards???? Bwaaaaahahahaha!

LOL OldSkool!

jim jack: TLC has no idea what he's talking about either. He's just enthralled with himself because no one else understands his pedantic dribble any more than you do. He lives in a rabbit hole of his own smug know-it-all dictor paul wierwille hyperdispensationlism and a knowledge of TWIt that ends in 1985 when he left. He was a loser on staff and is proud of it. He's still self-deluded enough to believe vic, or cummins, or schoenheit, or jalvis, or "rev"jerry wrenn, or bullinger, or BG, had truth. Good luck trying to have a meaningful discussion with him. He's got too many other voices in his head to hear your's. BTW.....do you mind taking your infomercial to doctrinal or questioning faith? TLC is much more comfortable and affable down there. Peace.

How good is this?

TY OldSkool! Another excellent post. Insightful and informative. Having left in 1986, the details of what transpired at NK and the other "root locales", or in the various regions and limbs after then, are known to me only second-hand. So, firsthand, eyewitness reporting such as your's, documenting the years from 1986-2008 is very interesting to me. Donna Lombardi and I spent our 4th corpse interim year in NC. Our very first job, even before going to our assigned areas/jobs, was to run a PFAL Family Camp at Billy Graham's Retreat Center, Christ Mount in Black Mountain, NC. We went there immediately after the ROA in August, 1974. The camp was a film class run in a week as a family camp. David Turk, recent 3rd corpse grad and newly assigned LC, was the class coordinator. I was his assistant. The other 4th corpses, Joel Burke, Charlene Little, Donna Lombardi, and Lori Dubofsky were also on the class team and Pilot Council. Rosalie Fox Rivenbark was a new student in that class. Each new student had a grad "sponsor" who was their official best buddy and undershepherder. Rosalie was a High School English teacher in New Bern, NC. Her sponsor was Miller Harrison, an educator also from New Bern, whose eldest son Stephen, and Stephen's best friend, Jeff Mohn had actually witnessed to their teacher. Both Stephen and Jeff had left to go WOW, and both went into the 6th corpse, graduated, and eventually went on to be Limb and region coordinators. Donna Lombardi had been assigned as the Limb Secretary under David Turk. She would be living at the ECU Way Home which was the Limb HQ for NC. She became attached to Rosie the new student from day one. They were tied at the hip from that camp forward until thus very day. Rosalie not only KNOWS everything about dictor paul's "lay to play" program for his female leadership, she actively and heartily participated. She went into the 2nd FC in August, 1975, exactly one year after she first took piffle. Within a month she had successfully slept and/or fooled around with not only DP himself, but also 2 different 4th corpse guys, one married, the other not, that I know of, because they came to me to brag (one) and repent (the other). As the year progressed Rosie filled the sack of several high-powered TWIt leaders as well as several future Limb and region coordinators. Oh, and then there was da forehead and his fiancée, Donna, Rosie's BFF in 74 already. Once Rosie Fox made it to Crotchaven, she never left. She never ran a class, a twig, a branch, or anything on the field. She took PIFFLE and a year later she moved to NK, Ohio where she's been ever since. Never had another job since leaving NC outside the sugar walls of Zion. Abandoned one son in NC, who never took the class more than once if at all, and she watched quietly and happily while the 14 year old she dragged with her to the FC became a repeat felon who eventually went to prison for attempted murder. Momma Fox disowned him. Jim Shumate was his name. So, for Rosie to say to the lawyers and judges that she knew nothing of any non-consensual serial sexual battery ring that existed at the BOT level, or of any involvement ever by DPW, Howard, or Donnie during the 1999-2000 discovery phase of the Allen case, was blatant perjury. She did it again in the Kaufman case. She's done it a thousand times since, and I don't even know all the crap that transpired during the 90s! Rosie's been a pimp and a whore and a liar since 1975, that I KNOW OF. And, I only know what dirty deeds she was involved in until 1986! So whatever Rosie and Donna have on Yves de liar is surely enough to keep him under their thumbnails until they die or he leaves. Never having met the man, I know already that if the girls picked him then he's a pimp and a whore and a liar as well. TY again OkdSkool for posting your insight and info. It does make a difference! Even to an old cop-out line me!.................peace.

Mike never went into the corpse. He worked on staff briefly in NK on the A/V team under Coulter/ Gluckin. He got into TWIt in Suffolk County, Long Island and was part of that early 1970s revival there. He was a gentle soul, laid back hippie. He got a bad batch of the KoolAid, and, IMO, was "never quite right in the head" like Stephen the Irish said of Wallace's would-be assassin in Braveheart. I knew him back then, and I dialogued with him here at the GSC on the public threads as well as quite a bit in the messaging section. He was a good-natured soul who went off the deep end for dictor Paul. Never a product of any corpse, not even "the sickest". Which corpse were you in TLC?

Angels of music.......

Van The Man.........

Two of the greatest and two of my all-time favorites! Jeff's on a Tele--no "whammy bar" necessary.....and Eric's on Blackie. What a duo! https://youtu.be/k38RXWa_Ezo

Double post. Sowwy.

"Just because someone reads or posts here on GS isn't some "get out of jail free" card that magically covers up or mitigates the stench of pride so infamously associated with TWI. Maybe what's most important to the Lord isn't where we've been, or how long it takes, but who or what we are like if honestly seeking after and learning who he really is." And your point is what exactly? Leaving the reader subject to implication or inference says NOTHING. It simply demonstrates your abject cowardice to "say what you mean and mean what you say." Chickens**t.

Shelly Linder was on "Trunk Staff" when they first graduated. Not my doing. Fuckface Finnegan made that "assignment". Fatboy Linder used to "visit" the Trunk Office often when his poor wife worked there. I always busted his fat ass and called him "gestapo" Linder. Little did I know.........

The link you supplied, Twinky, does not work on my devices. However, I have no recollection of ever meeting this jerk, nor do I care to. TY. Dictor paul's fantasy world of "gift ministries" is just THAT. FANTASY! He hijacked the underpinning of his entire theory of "gift ministries" from B.G. Leonard, who in dictor's deranged, drug and alcohol infused "mind" was the epitome and embodiment of what the Old Testament Prophet MOG is. Dic patterned his entire public MOG persona after his personal experiences with B.G. I met B.G. twice. Both times at HQ. IMO, he was a self-deluded OT Prophet with an authentic heart to serve Christ, but an unfortunate "private interpretation problen". I had him "minister" to me in the dormitory at HQ during one of the HQ big events.....Living Victoriously or ROA, when Steve Sann and don wierwille had arranged for him to be in attendance and speak from the main stage. It was exactly the same as if dpw were doing it. In other words, totally bogus and without effect of any kind. Immediately after this "ministering" session, I went backstage at the Main Tent and reported to Howard and Don. The next day, B.G. was "escorted" to the Dayton Airport for a trip back home......at that time in southern TX. IMO, based upon personal experience and interaction with both men, I found B.G. to be genuinely humble before the Lord, and authentically concerned about "God's people", and his ministry to them. Dictor paul had no such humility or authenticity in my experience. Though thouroughly self-deluded and enthralled with his "calling", B.G. did not strike me as a charlatan, or phony. He was affable though terse. His common-law wife, Sister Evelyn, was his personal attendant, protector and biggest promoter. She protected him tenaciously. She was also genuine in her belief in BG's "ministry and calling of God" and obviously completely committed to the same. She protected her MOG with fervent, dogged faithfulness as far as I could see. Doesn't make her "right" but it does demonstrate her self-deluded authenticity. IMO, Dictor paul totally "stole" BG's "ministry" for self-gain. He saw the income potential and his Chimes Hour Youth Caravan/Way Productions hyperthalmic PR mania took off with it very quickly, to the chagrin of BG himself. Dic used it to feed his personal mental illnesses and promote himself as the author and finisher of the only "rightly-divided" Christianity on the planet. The Apostle Paul of the 20th century. Instead, we got the snow pumps Puff Daddy and years of sexual and spiritual abuse. Not to mention enough false teaching and wrong doctrine to last for 50 years so far. Even from those professing to have "accurized" his plagiarized "new light". What a complete disgrace to the True God and The Lord Jesus Christ. Woe unto you still preaching ANY of his pathological bullshit. Peace to the rest.

And men like you also Skyrider! You were a Country Coordinator, LC, and clergyman. Where are the rest?????

I watched the first three episodes also Skyrider. Very compelling. Though specifics, jargon, doctrine, and social structure differ, the psychodynamic of all totalist cults is the same. Simply change names, locations, and intimidation styles, and you can place one cult after another in this series' lineup and the chilling similarities will ring true for all those ever involved in any type of cult. I applaud Lisa for having the balls to do this, and the strength to get former leaders to tell the truth. THAT aspect of her series is totally missing from ex-way leadership IMO. Instead of standing up and exposing the lies, crimes, and misdemeanors committed by wierwille et al, most of these high profile former cult leaders simply ignore them and start their own cults in the name of honest reform and teaching da woid. They are liars, pimps and whores IMO. Where are the following on Greasespot? John Lynn, Gerald Wrenn, Vince Finnegan, Bo Reahard, Walter Cummins, Bruce Mahone, John Crouch, Ken Brown, John Townsend, Ricardo Caballero, Earl Burton, Art Poling, Larry Panarello, Tom and Barbara Kally, Michael Fort, Bill and Marsha Greene, Harvey Platig, Claudettee Royal, Bob Winegarner, Bill Winegarner, Gary Curtis, Randy Anderson, George Hendley, Tom Jenkinson, Bruce Mahone, John Schoenheit, Brian and Alison Heaney, Duke Clarke, Randy Feese, Barry Jones, Tim Bishop, Alan Licht, Dale Sides, Michael Rood, Franklin Smith, Doug Seed, Chuck LaMattina, Charlie Quillen, Doug MacMullan, Paul Metkel, David Turk, Wayne Merrill, Steve Sann, Jerry Carr, Terry Wilson, Bob Lindfelt, Maurice Goulet, Dave Standage, Mosqueda, Lewis Lind, Koetteritz, and on and on and on. There are as many wayfers and ex-way "leadership" with blood on their hands and stolen money in their pickets as there are Scientoligists and Moonies. Looking forward to the day they all come clean and finally tell the truth about TWIt and themselves. Don't hold your breath!

Very nice Waysider! Looks like a Hofner.

Hey Tonto!!! Great to see you!! The old man is nodding off, eh? LOL! You're still feeding him too well I see! So good to see ya! Thanks for saying hi! Oh......and let the ole bass player sleep! Victor Wooten will wake him up later, I'm sure!........peace.

WOW T-Bone! I think they're beautiful. Thanks for the tech info and the "sound/feel" info. Jazzmaster II was the big seller back then. Was looking at the Fender site yesterday. They're going re-issues of all those funky 6 strings and basses from the 50s and early 60s. The Jazzmaster Series starts at $1399.00 and ranges up to $1599.00!! At that price, your's look fabulous! My nominee for best bass player currently on Earth. Enjoy!

My latest Strat. https://www.facebook.com/groups/229876193841000/permalink/662506117244670/ It's also my favorite!
