  1. Gives new meaning to the algebraic command, "Solve for ex (x)." ;) :D ----------------------------------------------- I think the internet's a marvelous tool and means of communication. So much information, good and bad, at your fingertips. Without it, I would have never heard about all the crap and sordidness associated with TWI and its leaders. I was even thinking of going back to a fellowship just to check things out, because I missed the good times and happiness I'd experienced for most of my stay. Then I typed in "The Way International" into a internet search engine... Thank you, God, for Al Gore and his wonderful invention.
  2. Happiest of birthdays, Sudo! (those were cute, Suda. Microchip. *snort* )
  3. About the only thing TWI ever got over is the wool over our eyes. <_< ------------- Hey, for their "65pffffht" anniversary, they could try explaining why, after 65 years, most of their "adherents" have been with them for 15 years or less. What happened to all the "old-timers"? (One of the questions I should have asked myself when I got involved in '71. Too soon old and too late smart)

    Deja vu

    And one especially relevant to TWI: Deja Poo - Same S***, Different Day.
  5. Another year of freedom from the "cult" ( - I know how you feel about that term.) Enjoy yourself this day.
  6. And it's No, Nay, Never No Nay Never No More Will I play The WOW Rover No Never No More.
  7. I sorta feel like anotherDan does; even if all conditions were exactly the same as they were while I was "in", I would not want to subject myself to that sort of authoritarian, unidimensional lockstep thinking. I'm just not the same person I was then. I liked the vast majority of folks I knew and fellowshipped with while affiliated with the Way (and hope most of them liked me), but I wouldn't be able to buy into the BS like I did back then, and that would definitely affect my "standing" in the fellowship. Also, I've grown more accustomed to using the word "No" when someone asks me to do something I don't already want to do. Forget about being "blessed"; if I don't want to do it, I'm not gonna. Nope, the Way and I just wouldn't be a good fit anymore.
  8. Now that's what I call circular reasoning!
  9. I do! I do! Actually, they may have been sent to all the "believers", as I am not a Corps grad. 3 or 4 frames of the original PFAL film class, laminated in plastic. I think I still have that stuck in my bible somewhere. I'll have to look for it someday. I wonder what you could get for it on eBay? Hmmmmm...... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waysider, "The next time I win the Mega-Lotto, things are gonna be different, I tell ya!!!" Speaking of believing and receiving, Baltimore Bunky Bags the Big One (Well, part of it, anyway) (and no, I'm not Bunky, so I'm not your new bestest friend in the whole wide world who wants to invest in your can't-fail scheme) Now, I knew what was available (the Mega Millions lottery jackpot), how to receive it (buy a lottery ticket), what to do with it after I got it (Buy Cuba, oust Castro, turn it into a year-round Renaissance Faire). My needs and wants were parallel (Cuba needs a steady source of capitalist income, and I want to get my Rengeek on), and God's willingness equals his ability. Well, maybe He doesn't really give a rabid rodent's rubbery rectum about Ren Faires, but we could always work that out later. But I didn't win. I didn't win! Bunky won! Where did I blow it?
  10. What a bunch of babbling baboon butts! :lol: And the perfect accessory for baboon butts? Nice butt socks.
  11. But that's probably why they'll resist further downsizing vigorously. Because failing ain't Prevailing. It's bad enough to lose Emporia, Rome City, and the other bastions of believing and outreach once held by the Way, but I would think downsizing Zion, I mean New Knoxville itself would be completely demoralizing to the Faithful Remnant.
  12. I wonder how many innies miss "the good ol' times" with Craiggy and would love to see him come back as King of Kings and MOG of MOGS. Who knows what new "red balloon" (upgraded to "little red Corvette") revelation he's come up with since his "exodus into the wilderness" for the rise and expansion of the One True Prevailing Ministry of the Word, the Word and nothing but the Word, so help me MOG. I would bet dollars to doughnuts those who were in during his "reign", and are still in, believe either: it really was a "one-time affair" and hey, everyone makes misteaks mistakes, it was more than one time, but all the women of the kingdom belong to the king, so what's the problem? or it never really happened, and it was a trick of the adversary to hinder the movement of the Ministry, which is synonymous with the Word of God as it has not been known since the 1st printing of Bullenger's How to Enjoy the Bible...uh, I mean the 1st century. I understand a lot of people still in the Way are bound to the organization because of the mindset "Where are we going to go to find the 'quality' of Word taught here?" Well, if you never look, you'll never know.
  13. socks! Behold, I knock at the door.... "Knock-Knock" Wayfer: "Who's there?" "Jesus" Wayfer: "Jesus who?"
  14. Gosh, for all his supremely superior revelatory prowess, Rev. Martinschmuck forgot one thing: Canada is not the United States of America. With their own sovereignty and laws. And if they don't want some damn foreigners there, they don't have to let you in. Especially if they perceive you as some sort of threat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I just gotta ask: Did TWI ever try to sue Canada for this? And if they did, what was the outcome (believe me, I can guess the outcome, but I havta ask anyway)?
  15. Too bad that Pikes Peak place is no longer operating. :)
  16. 7- He was told when his computer stopped working, he needed to "reboot", and now he can't use his computer because his closet's full of new shoes.
  17. Yeah, Martinduck did look rather ridiculous on stage. Oh, right, he was the "Minister". My bad.
  18. Hey, I love Cracker Barrel, but they don't offer senior discounts. :( (Not that I'm old enough to qualify anyway :) It's nice to think I'm still too young for something!) -------------------------------- You know what really makes me feel old sometimes? When I'm watching one of those "Girls Gone Wild" ads late at night during bouts with insomnia, and the first thing I think is, "They're really going to regret having done that some day." And the second thing I think is, "I hope to God my kid's not doing that." And the third thing I think is, "I wonder what's on the History Channel."
  19. batcave and ChasU, Seems pretty evident the folks who mandate that type of "uniform" are men. Perhaps they want this type of uniform to "de-sexualize" the workplace and reduce the possibility of sexual harassment lawsuits. ------------------ I wonder how male employees would react if the owners of a company mandated they would have to wear flower-print dresses as part of their "uniform". "Uhhhhh, no ma'am, this is not a dress. More like a kilt." "Oh really? and what clan tartan would that be on your 'kilt'?" "Uhhhh.....Clan Stupid?"
  20. "I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it." Perhaps one of Jack Handey's deeper thoughts.
  21. When I think of weddings and marriage, the Monty Python tag line always comes to mind.... "And now, for something completely different...." All my best to you. May your lives together truly be Happily Ever After.
  22. Butt socks. Paris sez: "It's hot!" ___________________ Now available in three styles for that warm and fuzzy feeling, Saggi, Dimpli, and CYA
  23. What the heck are "butt socks"? :unsure: :wacko: :blink:
  24. When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be a square.
  25. To me, the thoughts, ideas, emotions, outpourings and liberations that occur on this site and others outweigh any deficiencies in spelling or grammer grammar. I had been out a fairly long time before I found Waydale, and subsequently, Greasespot, and thought I was pretty much over any intense feelings for the Way or its teachings. These places have helped me to heal from hurts and sadness I didn't even know I had. I wouldn't ever want any posters here to be discouraged from posting because their command of the language doesn't meet expectations. We all come from different backgrounds and educational experiences. I try to glean the ideas from a post and "translate" misspellings mentally. For me, the ideas being conveyed are the most important consideration. On the other hand.... Paragraphs are good. :)
