  1. Beauty Evolution

    Dove has a 'campaign' for Self Esteem & Real Beauty...

    Their short film is a fantastic exposure of advertising, a must see, especially for young people!

    My children are reminded that a person's looks aren’t important, but rather what is IN the person, their thoughts, beliefs, intensions and behavior ~

  2. For some reason this song keeps coming to mind when thinking of how Weirwille ran the Corps & TWI...

    Change a few words around, and it's about right :rolleyes:

    Mr. Banks:

    I feel a surge of deep satisfaction

    Much as a king astride his noble steed

    When I return from daily strife to heart and wife

    How pleasant is the life I lead!

    Mrs. Banks:

    (Spoken)

    Dear, it's about the children...

    Mr. Banks:

    Yes, yes, yes!

    (Sung)

    I run my home precisely on schedule

    At 6:01, I march through my door

    My slippers, sherry, and pipe are due at 6:02

    Consistent is the life I lead!

    It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910

    King Edward's on the throne;

    It's the age of men

    I'm the lord of my castle

    The sov'reign, the liege!

    I treat my subjects: servants, children, wife

    With a firm but gentle hand

    Noblesse oblige!

    It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion

    Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed

    And so I'll pat them on the head

    And send them off to bed

    Ah! Lordly is the life I lead!

    A British nanny must be a gen'ral!

    The future empire lies within her hands

    And so the person that we need to mold the breed

    Is a nanny who can give commands!

    A British bank is run with precision

    A British home requires nothing less!

    Tradition, discipline, and rules must be the tools

    Without them - disorder!

    Catastrophe! Anarchy! -

    In short, we have a ghastly mess!

  3. This get-together sounds better & better

    Even in chance of nasty weather

    Wish all could be there, havin’ fun

    For me I'm home with school kids, hummmm :(

  4. Spoon, did someone already say SPOON?!?!?!?!

    This word would sometimes make my children stop and wonder if what they were doing or thinking was okay... :(

    “Would you get a spoon for me, please“?, and they would respond, “Why, did I do something, am I going to get a spank”? :unsure:

  5. Their Song

    Dooj & Rummy, Dooj & Rummy,

    Makin Cheesecakes that will taste real yummy.

    This I tell ya, brother, they will be huggin one another.

    Dooj & Rummy, Dooj & Rummy,

    The two of them are sure to be real chummy.

    Please do take some pictures, of cakes and all the many eaters.

    Try, try, try to separate them, it's an illusion.

    Try, try, try and you only come to this conclusion:

    Dooj & Rummy, Dooj & Rummy,

    Both make cheesecakes that will taste real Yummy.

    Don't be fooled by words here

    Under the sun, The Texas sun

    They'll each enjoy one another!

  6. :( the woman looks like she's been beaten...

    Never being the victim of domestic physical abuse/violence myself, I guess I just don't understand. For a woman to endanger her small infant, her mind must have been severely distorted...

    What's the whole story? What was the boyfriend doing? Any Drugs or Alcohol involved? How many times was this woman beaten, and was it from this same boyfriend? Did anyone know about the violence in that home?... We're they receiving government assistance?

    It seems that someone should have noticed 'something' before it came to the point it did :(

  7. Bliss said:

    Halloween was "Bless and Treat"

    If my memory is serving me right, Halloween was called 'Happy Harvest Day', and when the children went out for goodies, they were to say, 'BLESS AND TREAT' :( ... we did it for a short time, but the kids got tired of being so different... Mom, do we have to say that?

    All because we weren't going to 'trick' anyone if they didn't give us a treat~ :confused:

    There are more 'details' and instructions that go along with this whole theme... but it's just ridiculous, and I'd rather spend time w/ my children right now :wave:

  8. It seems TWI leadership 'housed' 'fed' and 'past on' 'spirits' other than the one from God.

    From what TWI taught about the 'spiritual kingdom', spirits travel in packs...

    Seducing spirits traveled with which others? Lying? Slight of hand? :confused:

    My Syllabus is packed away... on a high shelf

    But I do recall them teaching that 'seducing spirits' weren't the 'sexual' type, but rather spirits seducing people away from the Word... well, isn't sexual inappropriate behavior OFF THE WORD!

    Yet another twisted teaching to 'okay' their 'spirit filled' behavior.

    And yes, I saw Howard with my own two eyes, on a few occasions, drooling like a dog in a room full of bitches (female dogs :)...) in heat, seeking out his next victim to kiss on & fondle~ (this was at VERY public affairs too!)

  9. The MOST damaging words I considered...

    "Any two believers can make a marriage work"

    :asdf:

    It sounded nice, almost like an insurance policy... but my mother's advice was better!

    "Uphold the Standard of the Word" The only time I heard this, it was directly related to the 'standard of TWI', and it was meant to judge~

    "Clean House" This meant there was thinking or activity that TWI didn't like, and they were ready to kick some people OUT! :unsure:

  10. Is this what you mean?…

    "There is safety in a multitude of counselors" = made sure your TC or BC or LC know your business, inside & out, and DON'T for the love of God, go OFF alone w/ a decision... you might not be safe :o

    'One's own' = IDIOT... if you were to 'go it alone', it would be IDIOTIC... stick w/ the group, get counsel, be safe :unsure: If you have an original idea, that is your own… it’s probably idiotic.

    ‘By his stripes you were healed’… this means if you’re sick then you’re NOT actively believing the Word, and you need to figure out where it is you're missing it!

    ‘Whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive’ if you have any type of need, you’re again NOT believing the Word, and should probably be watched. :spy:

  11. I just find it funny now, wasn't it GOD himself that said, "and his name shall be called JESUS" :rolleyes:

    But then, which 'Jesus' could we be speaking of? The baby Jesus, the boy Jesus, the man Jesus, the son of God Jesus, the Resurrected Jesus, the Glorified Jesus?... :confused:

    No matter how old he was, his name didn't change.... Guess TWI figured out the truth :biglaugh:

  12. Looked through ALL known boxes of pictures... it's not there. Must have been tossed during the time we were to 'get rid of anything that doesn't remind you of the Word'. That was to include any people that were NO LONGER STANDING...

    Years of my life have big chunks missing in the picture area.... :(
