excathedra

i have a real problem with soap opera but that's just me

it's like go smother or kill off anyone we don't like to listen to

yes transcribers editors perception.....

and me 19 years old trying to discover the spiritual treasures in these great works i had received along with syllabus

--

i worked with rhoda in word processing. she was very very proud (and protective) of the little responses she wrote under vic's hand - of course he never saw the letters to which he was responding

it really bothered me because i figured i had gotten one or two of those and it was not from the teacher

on that page you can scroll down to left and read and / or sign guestbook

RIP

glad the cruise was overall fantastic for you and yours

were you in the way corps program, john?

it would have helped if they were called "a collection of collateral individual whatever bs.....

I didn't think those collaterals were disjointed. I always thought one of VPs strengths was how he sequenced stuff. In one collateral, the blue book, I think, he ended one chapter with "You are rescued now"! then the very next chapter was called "You are righteous now". He was good at that.

are you kidding me? really ?????

he was NOT good at that

those books were definitely disjointed. if you liked each chapter standing alone, fine, i don't care much

but disjointed they were - i don't feel digging them out - if i even have them

i'm just telling you my confusion as a new PFAL grad - mind you i was a teenager - and i'm 58 now lol

those books volume I, II, III -- whatever they were -- the blue book, the green, the orange.....

they had no coherency

each chapter was so disjointed

i was expecting something entirely different

i thought they would make sense and have a flow

who put them together and why?

I didn't say I agreed with LCM's yelling. But he was right about one thing. We DO wrestle against spirits, not flesh and blood. How many evil spirits have YOU killed? Then what is this "warfare" you refer to?

okay even if i get sent to doctrinal.....

when lcm yelled, i don't think he yelled at any spirits. i think he yelled at sweet believers who loved god and jesus christ with all their hearts

same with wierwille

hope that made them feel BIG

phhhhh u ccckkkkkers

when i got those pretty colored books along with my syllabus i thought i would find the treasures and answers i hadn't found in the frikkin class or wherever whatever boy i was wrong

WE WERE MISLEAD MISINFORMED MIS MIS MIS DIS DIS DIS

are there REALLY people buying into this now

rosie posie and donna wanna (they're not - they're too smart)

sowers please you can't be that stupid

i feel sorry for you nutcases

i was once but the evidence is way too clear now

i will be in touch i know it's about time

no sh ee ttt we didn't love you love you love anyone pppppfffffttttttttttttt

i hope the world explodes soon ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

john reynolds when i knew him was just a nice guy with too much hairspray in his doo

don't know how he got promoted but vicki dahl was a doll when we were friends

vince finnegan definitely knew how to yell frikkin punk from new york

who else are we talking about?

buncha phonies

oh dear dmiller

so kit, did you say the shepherd yelling thing to his face?

i'll tell you what's boring -- veepee and his disgusting little

habits

like telling that young girl he'll show her what's good about being alive

when she wanted to kill herself

i'd like to punch his lights out

no clue what gringo has to do with it

but "roll away" was f'd up

my old cranky grandfather (RIP) was always talking and b*tching about phony people - "awwwww they're all a bunch of phonies"

my brother asked him shortly before he died if he had any advice for living life....

poppy said, "yeah, don't be a sucker"

ha !

thank you chock and steve ~ i appreciate it

i feel god has always been with me in my life through the roman catholic upbringing and the way and of course now

no he didn't - he was working on that when he passed

honestly it's not about "dorky" - it's about stupid embarrassing crap we had to endure and in front of other adults who were not "in the way" -- it actually disgusts me as it did then, but THEN i found some stupid way to rationalize it

of course things we wore or things we did in our past could be considered dorky

i'm not even considering that type of stuff

people in my family and friends outside of the way were in the same era of dorkiness - you understand? they found things in the way strange - same here

we didn't have a TV in the way home

we sang stupid songs to guests in the way corps in residence

we wore big stupid buttons to recognize each other at functions

we were so blessed and had our own little code language

never confess a negative

third aid and all that nonsense

come on i could go on and on

of course things in the past seem dorky

but things in the way seem DOWNRIGHT RIDICULOUS

thank you

lovely inspiring thoughts, posts

thank you

ok i saw shari

and i believe i got a glimpse of mc mullen

it's too sad
