Seth R.

I for one have a wish... After listening to Tom "Top-Gun" Cruise's interview tirades about how wrong the rest of the world is and how right Scientology™ is about everything. My wish is that he was in TWI and talking crazy to Matt Lauer and Oprah™ and all other such high-profile media people. Maybe there are a few Hollywood stars that are in TWI and they have yet to pop onto the radar, and spill their guts on national TV. Reporting from my secret evil lair somewhere in NJ. Seth

I just returned from a Matt Talbot Retreat in Malverne Pa, it was wonderful. I really have a great respect for the love and kindness of Catholic people they are great. I have some wonderfull photos of some of the grounds and statues and stained glass. I'll post a link to them sometime this week. One of the more moving events was the private "Adoration" time. Since I'm not Catholic I read Pope John II paper on the "Eucharist" and got a better idea of what they believe. I was assigned 15 minutes starting at 3am to sit with the "Host" and meditate. One of my friends had a time slot inbetween me and another friend which he gave away because he moved to another dorm, so I split the difference with the other guy. I spent 22 minutes total in the Chapel kneeling before the altar for most of the time. I used a buddhist meditation technique during that time, and it seemed like the 22 minutes was more like 10. It was very peaceful in there I could describe for you every detail of the vessel that holds the Eucharist. We ate like kings for the weekend, the food and fellowship was awesome. Life is good, and there is much to live for. I learned that reguardless of faith or creed good people are good people, and love is love, and service is service.

If George W. Bush is a PFAL grad that makes sence everytime he speaks it reminds me of LCM ranting. Seth

Thanks everyone for your responses. I have for the past 2 years been fighting with whether or not I have Asperger's Syndrome. My conclusion is I do, it explains alot about me, might explain why I got into TWI and so deep into researching. As a child I related to Mr. Spock the logical unemotional vulcan. I had and still have trouble in social situations. I have big trouble with facial expressions. Any hoo, thanks again, Seth

Have you heard of it? Do you have it? What info besides what anyone can Google do you have? Just wondering. Seth

Wow that's awesome. Seth

Good, now the question that's begging to be answered. When can I order my Pam Anderson-Lee clone? Or even my Oprah (have you seen her lately she's *hot*!) clone. (I know I've been single way too long) Seth

One thing that concerns me is the total suspension of disbelief that is required in just the beginning of the second paragraph. "He will scrape away cataracts and eye tumours with a knife, remove breast cancers with a small incision and cause the crippled to walk with just the touch of his hand. In a meditation room a ceiling high stack of discarded crutches, wheelchairs and braces pays silent testimony to his success. He is acclaimed as the greatest healer of the past 2,000 years." Ok right whatever, dude ain't scraping my eye with any knife. It seems a basic understanding of anatomy and disease is not required to heal people, cateracts are not a clouding of the surface of the eye but the lens. I think even God would tell you to go see a Doctor and have the cataract removed by trained professionals. Don't even get me started on breast cancer, cancer can never be cured by just removing the main tumor, it always needs to be followed up by chemo-therapy and or radiation treatment. Cancer always spreads to other parts of the body that's the defining pathology of cancer. Peace Roy, Seth

Oakspear, Where I'm from we call those people assholes or retards, no offence to real assholes that serve a purpose of holding in or releasing bodily waste but those pseudo-assholes that are simply people who have the act of vomiting on que down to a real art. Of course also no offence to real retards who are of course born that way, not the pseudo-retards that think they are geniuses, and in reality have an IQ in the low double digits like around slobbering on themselves which is around 30 or 40 depending on if it's skilled or unskilled slobbering. Seth

I'd like to join Paw in offering Gmail invites. I have a bunch. Seth

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarious... Happy Birthday! Seth

One day I can tell my kids "Back in aught five we had a big argument about how we aught to say '05." Seth

Well no I've never met George W. Bush. Seth

People tell you exactly what they are, when they say they are not that. If a leader of a group tells you they are not a cult, then they are a cult. VPW said TWI was not a cult. One of the people in Market America said it's not a cult. You be the judge. One other thing, Amway considers itself a "motivational orginization" (spelling?) what they aren't a sales company? Talk about bait and switch. Zig Ziglar one of the biggest names in motivational speakers had something called the "Zig Ziglar Network" it was an MLM it fell flat on it's foot many years ago. So if MLM is a legitamate business model why is their track record for failure higher then traditional business? Seth

I'm the other Seth, I think you are thinking of the Seth that was on staff at HQ. I'm also not the Seth that is the subject of "Seth speaks" nor am I the Seth of Egyptian mythology that was the God of the Nile. Oh, I'm also not the Seth who is a famous Cello player, and last but not least I'm not the Seth that makes all those clocks. Thank you and good day sir! Seth

This is not good. How can we compete when there are pictures of young girls in Hooters t-shirts on that site? Wait I think this is good maybe, because all the preachers and teachers here can now go there. Seth

Sounds alot like Hitler's complaint to IBM about not being able to start sorting the punch-cards before the machine started. I don't have the exact quote but it was something about getting the people on the trains and how they didn't have eletricity in berlin to power the punch-card sorting machine because of that damn Churchill. But seriously, a TCP based service needs to connect to a TCP/IP stack and if the network interface isn't up then TCP has nothing to connect to and the service will probly crash due to a buffer overflow or something, invalid memory pointers or somesuch. And who on god's green marble recommended OS/400? lordy talk about over kill. I guess they are planning some serious e-commerce and data-mining, maybe even multiple web servers via VM or something. What ever it is it's big iron from big blue. Wait! I know they are building a cluster to design a Dr. Vic simulator, and redo PFAL and they are going to call it iPFAL where people will get to fellowship 1-on-1 with the Virtual Mog or V-MOG™ a.k.a. V-VP™ or V-Doc™. I can see a whole new branding campaign: iRock of Ages(SM) "Your virtual First person simulation of the Rock of Ages hosted in the worlds largest virtual tent in the world!" iWOW™ "Be a virtual word over the world iAmbassador(sm)" iCorps™ "Be the greatest virtual servant you can be!" I could go on and on. Seth

If I remember right the 25th apprentice year was '92-'93? So inresidence was '93-'94. So the '94-'95 year was interum (or wow year making corpse be team leaders). I remember because my wow sister was being trained to be a team leader. But '94-'95 was the height of the homo-purge. I was sitting in the big top, and I had learned the great-forheads body language so well that when he came out on stage, I knew something was up, I looked at my Mom who was sitting next to me and said. "something is up with craig, (i paused for a moment) and said they aren't sending any wow's out this year." And sure enough "the athlete" cancelled the WOW program sighting too many homo's were smoked out, blah blah blah. So '94-'95 was 27th corpse apprentice year, I'm not surprised the numbers are so low. Seth

Video tape this and send it in to planets funniest animals I'd love to see it. Seth

Wait, I'm not married but I'd start with finding what state they were married in, or should I say what state the marriage license was issued from. If everyone is assuming Ohio I think that could be a wrong assumtion. I don't know the answer. Something else, see if Donna changed her last name back to her maiden name. I know what that is but I think most people do. Seth

Happy holidays to everyone. Seth

Hi Roy, Rules are rules, if you take it personally that's your problem. The "Odd-List" on Yahoo has been around for many years, it started on a site called the "One-List" Yahoo bought them out. Roy, just some friendly advise. If you continue to ignore the rules in life, you may be disapointed to find there are people who don't send friendly notes when you break the rules. I hope you aren't as naive out in the world as you are on this board and on "The Way" list on yahoo, because if you are you're in for a very rude awakening. Seth

This was in my neck of the woods, Voorhees is only a few miles from where I live now. Here is why I have a problem with TWI's doctrine. If their is such a thing as manifestations and specificly revelation in the form of word-of-knowledge word-of-wisdom and discerning-of-spirits. Why on god's green earth did this shmuck get away with 1)Being a follower 2)being a leader 3)being waycorp 4)staying waycorp 5)doing anything in TWI. I think I know the answer to this. But I ask the question, if the waycorp are suppose to be the highly trained spiritually enlighted cream of the crop, able to sniff out a devilspirit a mile away. Why is it that none of the TWI leadership could smell dang on this guys lip when he kissed them? Seth

I'm thinking of sending this link to my Mom. She was in many moons ago. Seth
