  1. "But...but...but...I've said the magical incantation! How can Shaz still post here?!" It's in the way you wave the bible when you say it. You know, just swish and flick.
  2. Well then, that makes it official: 1968 was the year that all Hell broke loose.
  3. For OJ Simpson (and all the other pondscumsucking smug arrogant sons of leeches who brag about "getting away with it"), I would happily revoke the "double-jeopardy" law, and pay to see them rotating on a spit over an open fire. Then again, on my more charitable days, I'd bring back the stocks and stick them in there for a long time, while inviting the public to give them a public flogging. No, not flogging. A $ $ kicking. As many times as you like. Of course, the "Real Me ™" argues he will someday get his day in God's Court; and it ain't gonna be pretty - none of this, "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!", 'cause God will say "Bull$ h ! t."

    The United States' response to the Kyoto Treaty: "Kiss my Grass!"
  6. (((excie))) I prefer the term, "WOW Survivor".
  7. You know, Dove, that may be from where I remember it. Thanks.
  8. The song lyrics and music "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" were written by Helen Howarth Lemmel on or around 1922. A little background information (scroll down to about the middle of the page) The lyrics are: I remember hearing this sung on one of the old Sunday Night Service tapes. I forget the name of the woman who was singing, but I remember Mr. Wierwille joined her on the last chorus. Maybe this was a favorite of his, and perhaps that's why Mr. Geer chose the title.
  9. Neither do I, Hopefull. I would hope that at this point in his life, he realizes there are fewer days ahead than there are behind, and, if he wants to do some good in this world, it has to be now. Many people were caused shame, hurt and defamation at the hands of this man. His life has caused indelible pain to many. The least he could do is apologize, regardless of how it is received. The very least.
  10. Watched "V for Vendetta"; Now I can't get Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture out of my head! :)
  11. I also am sorry you were made to do that. As those hypocrites taught us, giving was supposed to be without compunction, not forced but of your own free will - just because you wanted to give. Yeah, the giving presents on your own birthday thing is not a part of our current culture. Forced to plan your own birthday party? Just absolutely inconsiderate and rude. But, Mr. Martindale, since it was your birthday, and since you espouse Word in culture and immutible biblical truths and principles, how about you give us a gift for your birthday. How's about, oh let's say.....an apology. Oh, and...happy birthday.
  12. Just remember - don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things. :) You'll do fine, potahto. No worries.
  13. Sounds like another egotist trying to tell Christ how he should manage his Body. I would hate to think Mr. Warren is comparing people who don't think the way he does to "growth-restricting diseases and barriers." I also don't think it's the job of apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, teachers and other "leadership" to "neutralize" members of the Body of Christ; you know, those insignificant, pesky nobodies who were called by God before the foundations of the world. I don't know; maybe it's just a bad metaphor on Mr. Warren's part and that's not really what he was implying. I just distrust anyone anymore who promotes, "this is what God wants you to do with your life, and you'll be screwed if you don't do it." But if his "purpose" really is to build himself up as a personality icon, then I would have to ask: How long until he needs a bus driver for his purpose-driven life?

    Belle

    Happy Belated, dearest Belle! And of course you've returned to 29, since we all did the TimeWarp again!
  15. Referring to the Way as "THE MINISTRY" (you could actually hear those words in capital letters sometimes) as though there were no other ministries. Of course, according to the Way, there aren't any other true ministries of God. <_< Referring to Victor Wierwille as "The Doctor", or just simply, "Doctor". Infuriating when you consider he got his "doctorate" from a non-accredited "seminary" run out of someone's house. And this "seminary" is so well thought of and recognized for its unique approach to Christian acedemia that it's the talk of the theological world. Not. Not even in existence anymore. I mean, for cripes sake, Don Wierwille had an actual earned doctorate from an accredited institution. Did anybody ever refer to him as "Doctor" Wierwille without a nervous giggle, as though they were somehow blaspheming the holy name of the "real Doctor" Wierwille?

    Nottawayfer

    Congratulations and celebrations for another year of being nottawayfer! Cheers!
  17. Tonto, I sent you a PM; I think we may know each other. :)
  18. I'm having severe WOW flashbacks looking at this! We were supposed to make posters illustrating the WOW principles for a Limb or Branch meeting. We chose "Keep your marital status the same throughout the year" (or however it was phrased). My family co-ordinator (God rest his soul) drew one of these amorphous blob-like WOWsers sitting on a block of ice with a $**t-eating grin on his face. It was not well-received.
  19. Hi Seth, Have you already looked at the Way-speak + Greasespot-speak thread? Actually, I think there have been a number of threads talking about Waybrain and the way words were used in that high-demand religious organization to control and manipulate us. Could someone more search-capable than myself find these threads? (Not to hi-jack Seth's thread, but I'm also wondering if other sensory input act as "triggers"; certain sights, sounds, even smells and tastes.) After almost 20 years of being away from that group, wayspeak doesn't hold me in its thrall like it used to. I think time and distance renders much of their control impotent. I came across some old Way East and Way of New York Grapevine newsletters the other night. Reading them and trying to remember what I was thinking when I first read them was like examining myself from another life. I read them and thought, What did I see in this group? I volunteered nearly 16 years of my life toward the establishment of this group, wrapped my life around its schedule, all because I thought the "leadership" were working honestly to strip the bible of myth and error, and present it to us as it had not been known since the time of Paul and the other apostles. Liars. Seth, that's one of the things that helps me with wayspeak (and Wayworld in general): these people were (and are) liars. They didn't honestly research the bible. They found things during their research that clearly contradicted Way dogma, and they were either extremely slow to correct them or else never did. They took other people's work and "made it their own." Literally. And, they allowed the doctrines, policies, and edicts of abusive madmen to become "the law of the land," even when they knew better from what they knew the bible said. They ignored the many clear verses of living and conduct, and wrapped themselves in the few "difficult" verses. And usually only made them even more difficult to understand, much less to live. When Waybrain occasionally pops into my head, I use my own version of wayspeak: "Go a-way!!"
  20. or maybe that's why he was so interested in pinpointing the date of Jesus' birth in Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed, so he could date the beginning of the ministry from then. Hmmmmmmmm. I thought I remembered reading in The Way: Living in Love Mr. Wierwille dated the beginning of his independent ministry from the start of his radio show, the Vesper Chimes Caravan Hour (I'm not sure of the exact title, someone help me out here), which was around October 1942. (edited for spelling)
  21. One Class to rule them all, One Class to find them, One Class to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. (apologies to Tolkien Not all who wander are lost.)
  22. It would have been better had he played, "Take it Easy": "Take it easy, take it easy Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy..." (lookin' at the entire lyrics and thinking about a certain former president of TWI man o man o man!)
  23. yeah, the greasespot! *g* (I prefer Guinness myself, but if you're whining, I'm dining!) :)
