Digitalis

One more thing I found when I went into the kitchen, on the table was a Bottle of Stoli's Vodka. I am Polish and its well known that Polish people enjoy their vodka, only its been years since I have had a drink because of meds. Hubby talked to doc he said one or two drinks wouldn't hurt me once in a great while. So ....... Whoo hooo ................. SrewDriver here I come ........ for the first time in over 5 years. Hmmm hotel suite and alcohol, Hubby must be trying to make me feel young again ............. 40 is starting to be fun. Digi

Thanks Belle ......... I really appreciate the Happy Birthday. Everyone of you are so wonderful. I had a great time tonight in the chatroom ......... Shell and I about wore the room out ...... in fact we closed it down real late ..... tonight. Hubby is taking me out of our cabin and into the city in the morning ...... to spend a weekend in a hotel suite and go shopping, dinner and to see Harry Potter and whatever else I want to do. He is really good to me. As I sat in bed chatting in the chatroom he delivered me gifts every so often including cash $$$ which SHELL tried to collect on for pysche fees but I was able to retain the funds for shopping purely for myself. Not to mention all the candies and fruits and cards and of course since we live in a cabin on our property in Alaska .... really great socks. Great husband. Its been great so far ......... the weekend is still to come see you all when I get back. Thanks everyone. Digi

I hope this isn't to risque sp? ................ my japenese girlfriend sent me this one after I emailed shells to her ...... so please don't think I am biased ........... its just histerical. A young Japanese girl had been taught all her life that when she married she was to please her husband and never upset him. So the first morning of her honeymoon the young Japanese bride crawled out of bed after making love, stooped down to pick up her husband's clothes and accidentally let out a big fart. She looked up and said: "Aww so sowwy...excuse prease, front hole so happy back hole laugh out loud."

Wow Shell, Thanks alot ......... truly helped me out ...... you know how incredibly ignorant I am on these darn computers ........... and I thought you told me you didn't know much either ....... Hah proved yourself wrong darling ......... your a genius.. LOL Digi

Sam ............ emailed this to my British girlfriend who just had spine surgery ......... darn near put her back in the hospital she laughed so hard ...... she could really relate .......

This all sounds great ........ I have the all the American First Editions in Hardback and the United Kingdoms First Editions on the way with one being signed by the author. Great to have a Brit a a best friend who lives 3 miles from the author. Going to Drive to the city the weekend to see it ........ been patiently waiting for two weeks. Coolchef ....... just to let you know ........ an article I read recently about movie theatres may be going out of business because videos are or can be realeased within 90 days of the theatre showing and many people are willing to wait instead of paying $10 a seat. WW said Did Harry have the time and skill to burgle the supplies at night or early in the morning? Neville's not good enough to handle a break-in (yet if ever). Well WW in the book it was Dobby who took it from Snapes lab for Harry. Digi

Why should he startd a splinter group? Why can't he just compare himself to the Apostle Paul who was greatet among the sinners yet reformed. Even though we aren't to compare ourselves with othes, TWI makes great inuendos. He can just spend a few years away from the limelight of TWI, his books are still sold in there bookstore, and his classes are still being presented .......... so why not return ........ JUST COME BACK at the RIGHT TIME ....... announce he is back at the ministry that he has worked out all his problems ......... his apology is that he left the leadership in Rosies most capable hands until he got himself correct with the word. His wife is still part of TWI Why wouldn't he just go back to that faithful remnant of the MOG. Forgive him ........... sure thats what the word says .............. it doesn't say we have to be hurt by him again. He will never apologize to us Greasers no need, we are no longer giving our income to TWI. Why apologize to us ......... we are not considered his brethren if we are not in his ekklesia. Although I would like an apology and not only that .......... he should ask us for forgiveness ....... there is a big difference from apologizing to someone simply saying I am sorry and asking someone to forgive you. ......... You see to say Im sorry puts it on the person being apologized to to have to accept ... to say ......... will you forgive me for my wrongdoing to you, puts it back on him to have to be accepted. Digi

HCW ........... I don't know quite what to say but ..... Thanks for the Post Digi

doojable......... its good to be your own drummer .... don't worried about being sidetracked .... it happens all the time in here its great you found us, one more to fellowship with in many ways here at GScafe. Sometimes about TWI, sometimes just about a great day we had. happy your here Digi

Checking back in at this site Johny and happy to know you are till in contact with Terry. Praying for her recovery from this ordeal, Digi

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ExWayDaryl Hope its a great one ....... cheers Digi

Belle .......I know you would appreciate knowing ...... Digitalis is with one L Thanks Digi

Belle ...... I hope you are not misunderstanding me ..... I looked into these scrolls also. I questioned them myself ......... just like many other things such as Nostradamus etc... They cause a certain curiosity. The point I was trying to make that in my study of civilizations I realized that they kept records dating back to the stoneage ...... drawings on the walls etc. If I recall correctly In Genesis 3 Adam and Eve were clothed in skins. I even wondered if this was where are stone age began. Civilizations before Christ and during Christ would have kept records of their own beliefs and assessments and during that day and time may be it was written on stone tablets or scrolls of now carbon dated parchment and is considered to be the exact years that Christ was on this earth. It doesn't make it Gods word necessarily ........ ....... it would have just been the means of which was available at the time to retain information. For the historians of each culture to put into concretion their beliefs or understandings. Who knows what that information truly is but GOD. Carbon dating in and of itself is also not an exact science to be able to say that it came from a certain time period. Carbon dating is more of a theory that is used. One scientist may carbon date a scroll or a tablet thousand of years different from another scientist. I don't believe I am comparing apples and oranges darling ............ information is retained with what that time period has ..... some cultures were more advanced than other cultures and had scrolls while others were still chisling in stone ......... we look at 2thousand plus years ago as important intormation according to the bible, but there is still the possibility it was records kept by a clan or culture of people who heard from one story teller who had herd it from another story teller etc. and we all know what happens as a story is retold and retold ......... it is added to and taken away from. Story telling was the way of the past ........ maybe it is the word ....... I don't know ......... but God does. ....... who is to know what our future civilizations will look at what information is important to the bible. I am just emphasizing that it would be ridiculous for them to consider our notes or something buried at HQ and that it should be well established and researched before such scrolls or tablets become part of the bible. I would hate for people thousands of years ahead of us to have gone through some destruction and lose what is most valauable and look at what HQ had as the completed works of God. The research on these scrolls and tablets will take many a years. and It will drive one crazy if they let it. ............ Digi

whitedove ...... thanks for you post from the class it clears up the whole point. George ....... I also agree with you on this. Negative statements vs positive statements Negative statements or what seems to sound negavitive have a negative wrong doing impact upon our brains. Positive statements which could be utilized just as easy have a maturing effect on our brains. Digi

I have to wonder what will happen if this world survives another 3000 years or so and all the scrolls are lost and someone comes across all our notebooks from teachings, notes and research and decides they should have been put into the bible to. I think civilizations kept an account of what they believed, usually in ancient times there would be in many groups a story teller or one who kept historical information for a group of people. These simply could be just there versions as they saw fit ....... not necessarily the truth. I know a lot of our copied teachings from TWI weren't the truth .... what happens thousands of years down the line when someone gets hold of that information buried in a chest at HQ, I sure hope it isn't added into the bible. I personally don't look to far into either any longer, not after researching civilizations .......... I agree with Sudo ......... it wil drive one crazy. Digi

Welcome Doojable, I am glad you sent you girls to piano and ballet. Glad to see you here. I allowed TWI to hijack my two eldest kiddos years ......... for a long time ...... glad I woke up. Digi

Histerical ........ absolutely ......... histerical Digi

Paw ........ I have been back a few weeks after an extended vacation ......... ........ I love the place ........ New chairs ........ and the booths are quite comfortable........ ....... I see the porta potti is gone and modern bathrooms have been installed ....... whoopeeeeee ...... for my order Quad Mocha with whipcream and a Peace of Pecan Pie Thanks, Digi

Everyone deserves a Happy Birthday ........ sooo Happy Birthday Rocky Digi

I took WAP in 1995 when it first came out. All grads of other classes had to take it and then we put it on for new students in 96 for the first time if I recall, thats how long it took us to get he number together to run the class. Digi

A friend of mine emailed me this .......... what a gas boy have times changed "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20." "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one." "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous." "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store." "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage." "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls." Digi

TheMEX ..... thank God you formed your family after you left. Or you might have been looking at a different outcome ....... the single man can run fellowship 3 times week, attend all classes, even coordinate classes. Have you thought about the families who did that plus worked a 40 hour a week job. Kids unable to attend Tae Kwon Do or music lessons or ballet because it interupted your fellowship time and classes. Our kids were stollen from us and we stole from our kids the up bringing they should have had. So that they could learn to love God on their own terms. Not resented him because they were forced to sit absolutely still and quite without a word ........ while their childhood classmates were learning sports, with their parents supporting them. My Limb Coordinator took my child out into the hall after a fellowship was over at the LCs house and with a wooden spoon wacked him several times and showed me how to spank my child properly ...... brand new LC, my kiddo was 18 mos old, first time in there home and he was restless, just getting over the chicken pocks. We walked out the first time right after this in 1995 ...... wrote LCM and RS and they gave us a break from fellowship, from teaching and we stayed away for 2 months and came back because we still believed this man was just wrong and that TWI was the place we were suppose to be. I had very well behaved children before this ........... in fact they were scared to death after awhile to even move when the ministry went through its transition period with LCM. Yah Our lives were stolen ......... crappy thing is ........ we allowed it. We should be able to love God and follow his word and still enjoy the life he has blessed us with. Digi

In Rome City at the 1994 Advance Class .......... we were having dinner in the dining room.. Those who have been to Rome City probably remember the set up. All the rectangular tables with a head at each one and the the large circular table in the front of the room where the class instructors and bigwigs sat. Anyway, this one dinner my girlfriend and I were asked to eat at the head circular table. This was right after the session on ectoplasm. There was a remark made that C G was brought down by ectoplasm. The story went as follows as best I can remember it; C G was eating in the dining hall at HQ with VPWs past secretary and a few others, this was after VPW had died and there had already been an uproar between LCM and CG. The secretary was looked up and in an instant swore she saw VPW sitting right next to her looking at her. She panicked turned to look at someone else at the table for help, when she looked back she realized she was looking at CG after all, it wasn't VPW. CG was blamed for operating dem der debbul spurts and was confronted. They said the debbil spurts had used ectoplasm to change his face and that they were upfront and cocky in showing this to VPWs secretary. ....... he left immediately and held Gartmor from TWI for years ....... in fact it was I believe that same year late in 94or 95 that we got the announcement from our limb that LCM was no longer going to spend the money on lawyers to try to retrieve Gartmor back. LCM in my understanding said the place was probably swimming in debbil spurts and they wouldn't want it back anyway ....... better to spend the finances elsewhere. Just what I heard over supper and later from our limb Digi

Behind the scenes pulling the strings which class was that "dealing with advesary" "defeating advesary" "Advance Class" hmmmm how ironic he might have become a puppeteer Digi

I find these adds revolting.... We live in the North country and hunting and fishing is just a way of life here. We do it for a certain amount of sport but definately to fill the freezer with meat for our families to eat. Whats worse ..... kids starving ...... or filleting up some salmon. Every Alaskan has 4 types of salmon and halibut in their freezer and to be honest with you, it really helps the grocery bill. Fish is quite expensive to purchase in the market and isn't always fresh. Salmon is also filled with Q10 and is very healthy for us. I am appalled at these advertisements and would hate that any child might perceive their parents in this manner. By the way we have two huge rabbit warrens on our property, they are running everywhere and I have thought about trapping a 3 or 4 a year or purchasing our son a 22 rifle to hunt them ........ does that make me horrible? I love rabbit stew ........... had it for the first time from an elderly Italian woman ...... I know I have the recipe somewhere. Was the best stew I ever ate ....... Bless her heart ...... she has passed away. Digi
