Met him in the 80's. He really helped me a lot. Just wondering if anyone else ever bumped into him.

Catcup,

I would agree with missing the socialization process.

I have a hard time functioning as a real adult in the job market. After so many years of taking bad treatment...I put up with it at work too. And I have difficulty figuring out how to deal with it or address the issues.

(Of course it doesnt help that co-workers frequently yell at each other either! -->)

I would say that even extends to my marriage. To keep the peace, I bite my tongue. Then I reach explosion point.

Not to derail..but just because Geek is listed, doesnt mean Catcup is involved...Now if their were teachings with HER name on cff website...then that would be a different story.

Anyway HCW thanks for the analogy...about the WC thing. It makes so much sense. It's almost like twitworld would love to take away our "sons of God" status. Why would God want his sons greasespots anyway?

He had to be tempted to go by the letter of the law only----of being legalistic----of being too egotistical

1. Woman caught in adultury-He forgave her. The official written penalty was death, rihgt?

2. Pharisees/Sadducees were the ones teaching at the time.

3. He was God's son-the Messiah---and we had loyboy thinking he was some great thing

happy happy birthday

to you!

Same thing with pokemon cards--i remember hearing how bad they were--little pocket debil spirits ya know. Then the LC's kid started playing with them...

I remember over twelve years ago hearing about staff people who were refusing to allow their kids to go to the Holocaust museum for some Wash DC trip the kids were going on. I have no idea if they got out of that part and what reasons they told the school

I was thinking tonight how the way discouraged (strongly) any outside books or music. It's ironic that if things were purely worldly it would be more acceptable than reading other teachers/preachers books, listening to their teachings and listening to Christian music(a term disdained in the way) Of all the things that helped me the most, it was the Christian music station. most of their songs focused on God and Jesus Christ--not the self-centered stuff way productions normally sings.

Belle,

Do you think your ex still feels like a failure because of rotten treatment from J*net M and others? It can motivate someone to do everything and anything they can to prove they are not weak. Gotta prove you are perfect after all. I wish I could scream to any innies out there that they need to talk to their families regardless of what any twit leader.... told them. I lost so much time trying to be good twiggie--I missed my siblings growing up. I am just now forming real relationships with them--20 years later

happy birthday! now i know 4 people with today as their bday--makes you go hmmmmm Have a great one oak! -->

Happy Fathers' Day to all those great dads here at the cafe!! Have a great day.

All I can say in best possible marvin voice is...."You have made me very very angry. Very angry indeed..."

Actually I can't wait to see Marvin the touring Martian!

I remember hearing that the 91 AC was really messed up--I didn't know it was because you decided to sing without a leader lol

hmm is that why so many of the kids-from small to teens seemed to be so self centered and bossy? They were being taught by example that they could demand for God to do things for them so why not demand it from everyone else? And the universe centered around them too. That also could be why the adults seemed to have to work so much harder not to have bratty bossy kiddos.

Still praying here too

I should have left when the first interim corpse guy I ran into wanted to "jump in my pants" when I was teenager. He got quite disgusted when I said NO AND tried to use the Word to justify why it was ok.

Have a happy happy birthday. {{{{sharon}}}}

Tell Adrian to go home--it's too early!! I thought the official hurricane season started June 1!

Hi dave.

Just found the thread and you will be in my prayers too. Especially for new home and new job being found quickly and both being even better than what you've had in Duluth!

will do here as well

At one of our old apartments we had a bunch of grey squirrels and stray cats. I enjoyed watching the squirrels mess with the cats. They would purposely make the cats chase them, then run up the side of the building. Normally, more than 2 squirrels would be involved, each on either side of the cat. The cat would run back and forth, back and forth, between the buildings. lol

OMG Shell!! Don't even get me started!

If the computer is running, I will try to make it. I normally have a lot going on around 6pm on Saturday....please post some of the more interesting topics discussed!! :D-->
