Seems pretty self-evident. :) Actually, LCM recanted this later, saying that MA probably got born again when he was young (in a Christian home). His MANAGER was the "seed boy." George

I got a call a few years back from someone who had been my TC back in the 90's. Just chatting...oh, by the way, fellowships are much better now...the old BC is gone...blah, blah, blah. I told him I was glad he was doing well (even though when he was TC, he spent all sorts of time trying to dig up dirt on me to rat me out); but I had no interest in re-joining. Never heard from him again. George

That would imply a $500 admission fee. I was there. Maybe there was a fee like that, but I don't remember it. Of course, I'm sure that there was some charge to cover room (we stayed in campus dorms) and board (three meals a day). George

Thanks! George

Maybe "camp" wasn't the best choice of words. I believe he's looking for something more like a training program, not a week in the woods. There are Camp Allen and Camp Tejas, both quite close to Houston, for short group gatherings. I do not believe that he plays an instrument. George

Now that I think of it, I don't think the S-word is even used on FOX. This might be a Showtime series. I have no idea. George

I was hoping that someone would (incorrectly) guess Linda Ronstadt as the artist. Her cover had somewhat different lyrics, obviously! :) George

He's about 18. Since he was planning to go to Ohio from Houston, I don't think that distance (at least within the continental US) is a problem. He's just looking for a chance to grow spiritually before (I assume) college. What's the name of the camp? George

Since no one has guessed, I would say, yes. George

No. Not a comedy. George

When I find a new girl that I want for mine. She always breaks my heart in two,it happens every time. George

A young man in my fellowship has shown interest in doing a S.O.W.E.R.S. stint. I have no personal acquaintance with the program, though there has been enough press here at Greasespot that I cautioned him against it. Our local leader couldn't advise him one way or the other, because he didn't have enough information. The young man asked me if I knew of any alternatives. There have been a few people from our area who have gone to Idaho for D@N@ Armstrong's program, and were happy with it. Are there any other programs out there that I could recommend? Obviously, they don't have to be TWI-derived (in fact, it's probably better if they aren't); but something with a strong Trinitarian bent won't work either. Any ideas? George

"Office Space"? George

Sounds like a FOX cartoon. "Family Guy"? George

Well put, Gen-2. Paul,in the context of giving and receiving, pointed out that he knew how to be abased AND to abound. I think that TWI's leadership (and that of many other churches, make no mistake about that) have decided that only the abounding part is worthwhile; and, by God, it's the laity's responsibility to make that happen! George

"More wolfbane, Doctor?" "Stronger than wolfbane, Count!" "Ahhh!!" George

Actually, LCM had begun the de-Wierwilleization of TWI, and that was before any significant outside knowledge of VPW's sins came to light. I just think it's easier for Rosie to cement her own power, given that LCM's foibles are well-known. George

I actually did quite well on the test. (Human, at least when I took the AC, there was a test you had to take before registering. It tested your understanding indoctrination in areas of PFAL and other classes. Your response seems to indicate that the test was done away with in later years.) It's funny, actually, because I purposely "threw" some answers about the Trinity. I knew what answer was "correct," but I wasn't certain in my own mind at that time. As I understand it, "Jesus Christ Is not God" was a weak spot for MANY applicants that year ('79), which is why VPW hit the subject so hard in that AC. George

I was thinking of that movie, too. I just couldn't remember the title. George

Obviously a fairly new show, but not one I've seen. George

What's more important than Way-bashing? I spend a lot of time in the game threads in the Greasespot Gallery and Reading Room. If you're thick-skinned, try Politics 'n Tacks. Oh, and when I left, I thought it was just a problem with megalomaniacal leaders. All the scandal stuff I learned about later. George

Of course. Go ahead! George
