Power struggle between these two men, plain and simple. Neither won. Both are losers. In my opinion both had serious mental issues that they never dealt with and maybe were never even aware of. Both are known to have been abusive to many. What astounds me is that many people in spin-off groups to this very day day hold CG in high esteem as the man who carries the spritual torch. The TWI party began to come to a close at that point with Waydale later exposing some of what went on at the party. It was high time for it to end so some of us could finally sober up.

Hmmm. Tough question for me. There were sooooo maaaaany. Where do I begin? Well, two of my most memorable were Word in Business in New Orleans and a crazy weekday night in Emporia in residence. Both involved stayng out all night partying till sun up. (They NEVER had another Word in Business in New Orleans after that!) In Emporia we barely made it back from the discos and clubs in time to go running with the in-residence group who had gathered by the hundreds at 5:30 am. We blended right in because we had our sweats with us and changed in the cars and no one was he wiser. (We were practicing the revelation manifestations.) Interestingly, Excathedra was at both these memorable events along with a handfull of others. Maybe she will remember. (Maybe not.) John R.

Yes, there were some really good ones. Like John Richxxx in Florida who was never mean. Whatever happened to him, anyway? Sadly. some of the original good ones became, mean old bastards as the legalism and hypocrisy saturated their lives without their knowing it. They were miserable really. Sometimes they changed back to being good people AFTER they left TWI. I am sure even LCM himself is a different person today albeit with a tornado-like path left behind him.

Pawtucket, do you find that your IP address changes frequently on you FIOS? Mine changes almost by the hour at one location. But at my other location it stays the same for days. I gotta get that resolved. I am thinking it might be a hardware issue. Verizon is investigating. Any clues? It is a nice SMC Router at both locations, not the D-Link one they provide. My friend just got the "higher speed" Fios and he is very pleased. I am going to upgrade soon too but still testing the waters. Awesome speed.

"VP and Me" will be changed to "Me and my VP". Why aren't there any female VP's?

5026 1796 FIOS high speed.

A few more jokes to lighten things hopefully. I didn't writ the the book, Rodney did in this case. "Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home." "A girl phoned me and said, "Come on over. There's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home!" "A hooker once told me she had a headache." "I went to a massage parlor. It was self service." "If it weren't for pick-pocketers, I'd have no sex life at all." "I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, "Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?" She said, "No, I hate myself now."

Nice posts! Now send me some of them godd_damn (thanks for showing me how to curse on line ex) pictures so I can continue to embarass us all!! That's as nice as I can say it. And hey I want some more of the 9th too. Both old and new.

Jenkinson attends an offshoot somewhere in the Northeast. He also taught at CFF a time or two. It is my opinion that those kind of men are cowards. I personally consider him a coward until such time that he publicly acknowledges he was wrong and offers remorse or apologies. I have a feeling too much pride is in the way for him to do that.

Socks, Oh, those rollovers are possessed with a spirit of Front Page 2000. And when I try to click on one of the pictures the damn thing changes again. And what's the difference between What's New and Current News? And shouldn't they say What's the Way and What's Available to stay consistent. And this may be directed at you Socks so listen good....from Terms and Conditions: "In the event of termination, you are no longer authorized to access this Web site"

Socks, weren't you beheaded one time way back in the old days by accident? Then healing was ministered and you were (sort of) ok? Wasn't that the story? Oh, those were fun times, you oldies man. Yeah, what you said about music. It was all over the place back in the day, everywhere you turned. Inspirational music coming from the joy within. No music= no inspiration= no fun. Off topic: Hey, I saw you had a quote by James Brown earlier under your post. Did you know I got his autograph in 1986 when we were working at a hotel? He wrote "To John & Family. God bless. James Brown." Good God!!!

Shut up a minute, Walter. I don't see it.....lemme get my glasses. Ok, now I do. Walter, please continue #79, join in everybody.... like a great organ!

He would copy and paste over the originals I suppose, by inspiration of course. God didn't have Microsoft Word back then. Bill Gates one upped him on that idea.

One funny word....I-Pod.

"the adversary's diery farts". Ha! I consider you a prophet, my friend. This thread is inspired, comma, by god. Ya'll should copy it and put it on CD for posterity. It could be broken up into chapters and verses and bound with gold leaf and wide margin for note taking.

I am all for optimistic ideals. But to salvage TWI would mean drastic changes from the top down as Catcup alluded to. In my opinion, to start with they would need to close TWI and reopen it under a new name with new (younger) leadership that is not BORING. Like it or not, their reputation as The Way appears to be ruined FOREVER all over the Internet and therefore all over the world. That can not be undone. Secondly they would need a new approach as to what they would do for people and what they would offer. It can't include any of the problematic docrtrinal errors of the past, such as the enormous errors in WAP and PFAL. Why does it need to be crusty old biblical research and classes in the first place? I fall asleep thinking about greek and aramaic and figures of speech and all the other so called important stuff. Get rid of it all. Especially that bland, green non-interactive web "place hoder" they call a site. Start something totally new and open to the public. Do not let "old timers" anywher near the decision making process. And if anyone memorizes or reads their teachings or sharings as the current president does put them out to pasture where they belong. Let them read to elderly seniors in rest homes where it might do some good. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I laugh knowing that will never happen in a million years. Honestly it would be easier and perhaps more successful to just start your own group. For example, CFF probably by now has as almost many loosly based "followers" after only 5 years than TWI has after 50 plus years. Other churches have tens of thousands after only a short time. It is because they are open and available to the public in service. They are dynamic and spiritually alive. Not just a bunch of old, boring middle aged bible quoters who sit on their butts studying too much.

Awwww. come on Mom! Get him these for Christmas. He'll thank you and thank you and thank you and will call you the best mommy in the world. http://www.quake4game.com/ http://www.half-life2.com/ And if you get him something like this to play them on I am sure he will adore you forever! http://www.hypersonic-pc.com/2001/systems-gaming.asp What do you say, mom? A little "mental masterbation", as your husband call it, never hurt anyone.

What I would do is an in place upgrade I believe they call it. Is that the term Goey? Or as I refer to it, reinstall windows over the top of itself. But even that may not be necessary. If I had it myself and had the time I would first determine why it will not start in safe mode. I like a good challenge and its always fun to get to the bottom of extremely difficult problems. BTW - to test you hard drive simply download and put on a floppy or cd, the testing software that all manufacturers have on their sites to see if anything is wrong. For example, MaxBlast. The testing software will tell you once and for all if your drive is good or bad. But yeah, if your drive "klunks" I would return it for that reason alone. Just tell them your drive clunks and I do not believe you will have a problem returning it. My guess is the drive is fine. It would be nice to know when you get it back from your IT friend. Oh, and for anyone who cares, here is t grandaddy of all bootable CD's to test just about any possible problem. Ultimat Boot CD for Windows Simply start up your computer with this baby in the tray (with Bios correctly configured to boot from CD first) and you will have it all no matter how screwed up your computer is. It has the ability to read drives without having to boot the machines actual OS. It has networking (so you can back up you inaccessible files across a network to another computer), browse your files on your hard drive so you can back them up, virus software, spyware fighting programs, CD Burning software (so you can burn your previously inaccessible files to CD), software for testing your drive, drivers for usb, mouse, keyboard, and much more. And it has a easy user friendly interface. It is free but you have to follow tedious instructions to build this gem. Then just keep it handy for emergencies. Its worth it. John R.

Happy goddddamn birthday

Kristen Rhodxs, to name one of many children who left, was raised in TWI. Yet she left boldly in the face of being shunned, marked and avoided, etc. by her own parents. Screw em!, she said. I suppose if they ever want to see her or the grandchildren they will have to accept her for the loving christian person she is. Children leave the nest and should develop their own lives and not necessarily follow in the footsteps of their parents. They're better off. Especially if those parents are abusive, mean and narrow minded like many I have seen in TWI through the years. So much for TWI's claim that they "develop more harmony in the home."

I love that kiosk mode feature. I never knew about that. CHasUfarley, use a gaming console like Xbox or Sony Playstation or Ninetendo. They are beginning to outdo computer gaming and I have a feeling it is going to continue that way. People always want to give their kids "the old computer" to play games on. But really gaming needs more resources and power than the parents modern computer. It's the other way around. A good graphics card especially and a lot of memory, not to mention a high res monitor is needed for games. And do not even bother with windows 98. It ancient for games. XP is needed at a minimum with a minimum of a 64mb graphics card in my opinion. But for younger kids why bother with a computer at all for gaming.

I agree that it does not appear to be a bad hard drive. Probably a driver conflict of some kind. A agree with starting your computer in Safe Mode. Also what is the exact error message you are receiving and at what point does it appear?

Did you open up that Go d da mn computer yet? He'll love it. Awesome gaming machine.

"The wife of one of the men listed above was one of LCM's many sex partners. " I believe the above statement is true. Those kids are wasting their time. There are deeply entrenched problems in TWI and as Skyrider said, "It's all about the money". . I also believe that statement. They got lots of it. And Camp Gunnison, Inc. by now is worth tens of millions with skyrocketing real estate prices. They do not need dedicated young people with false dreams in thier eyes. They just need staff workers. Those young people would be better off starting their own group. (But please do not make it in a cornfield out in the middle of nowhere.)
