;)--> I couldn't resist~

Thanks Steve~

My thought was that anything Chocolate may melt... But you're right~ a package with goodies, even if they're not the person's favorite, would be fun just to GET

We will work on getting something together today!

Anyone know where Veronica is.... she was the most organized woman I've ever met. She made the tiny military house they lived in look beautiful...

We met in Hawaii... her huband Dave was in the Cost Guard there... they divorced and she got back into TWI... anyone know where she is now?

She had moved to the East Coast...

Hello John!

We'd love to get a care package to you! Are the cigaretts allowed, or do we need to sneak them in?

Seeing as how we don't know you... could you let us in on what you like or don't like.

Our good friend is in Iraq doing electrical contracting work... he e-mailed saying they were enjoying some great food~ Lobster several times a week :)-->

Feel free to email me... maybe a shirt from Las Vegas (size?)... Snacks... magazine maybe... I don't mind buying cigarettes, haven't done that in 21 years... :P-->

Any favorite gum or candy?

We LOVE to shop & send packages!!!

Wow Tom! Awesome healings for sure!

Over the years we have met some very awesome people in TWI~ there are many that I miss terribly.

Healings~ Yes, I've had my share. The one that stands out the most is~

My daughter, 7 at the time, climbs up a small tree at the park... stays up there for a few min, then jumps down. I heard a loud snap, and she began SCREAMING... her ankle immediately swelled to the size of a grapefruit... I picked her up with my right arm, pushed the stroller w/ brother in it with the left & went to the nearest bench, sat her down, put both my hands around her ankle & prayed, and claimed In the name of Jesus Christ for her ankle to be whole... I think I held on to it for a few sec, min... I don't know... when I let go, it looked normal.

She sat there still crying... I told her she was okay... she hesitantly stood up, and realized she was, and walked off to go to the swings

As for people's minds to reason things... I told this to a Dr friend of mine, and he said, how do you know it wouldn't have worked in the Name of Donald Duck, or that maybe when I held onto it, it was put back into place... -->

One for the men out there :P-->

The Guys' Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules! Please note...these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.

You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

We need it up, you need it down.

You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports.

It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.

Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.

And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:

Subtle hints do not work!

Strong hints do not work!

Obvious hints do not work!

Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.

See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don 't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both! If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.

Pumpkin is also a fruit.

We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. W= do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.

We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

The Anisette Cookies

For all the Italians out there, or those who are lucky enough to be

married to an Italian!

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the

agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite Italian anisette sprinkled cookies wafting up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.

Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and

with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.

With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the

kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself

already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen

table were literally hundreds of his favorite anisette sprinkle cookies.

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted Italian wife of 60 years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table,

landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the

wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.

The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of

the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. . . . . .

"Back off!" she said, "They're for the funeral

Okay... I'm going to try again. She was in Pontiac, Michigan for many years. Ahh... ummm, well I guess her daughter was involved in some bad ROA teen thing & Annie was asked to stay away from everyone. (which, may I add, she did, since she only wanted to do what was right)

She is a wonderful person...gives an unforgetable massage & had one of the biggest hearts I've seen.

Anyone know what happened to her?

Yes Bramble... this had been going on for years... Why? (I asked --> ) BECAUSE listening to people drone on about their problems... speaking negatives would bring negatives into the fellowship... What would NEW people think if they heard that kind of talk? this was the concern~

MORE control was demanded near 2000...

One young 6th or 7th grade girl, daughter of one of the coordinators, was being stalked by a man in a car on her way walking home from school. She had to walk home because the parents were both at work. She brought it up at fellowship, and her mother IMMEDIATELY cut her off and reproved her. How dare she speak negatives, or let anyone hear their business....

I thought that was particularly odd, since at that same time every day, I was JUST AROUND the corner, leaving work... I would have happily picked her up at school and dropped her off at her front door.

TWI has turned into something very ugly... full of fear!

Dividing Pecans

On the outskirts of town, there was a big old pecan tree by the cemetery fence. One day two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. Several were dropped and rolled down toward the fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew what it was. "Oh my," he shuddered, it's Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the cemetery. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.

"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard. Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk." When the boy insisted, though, the man hobbled to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me." The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we can see the devil himself."

Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of Satan.

At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. And one last one for you. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll be done."

They say the old guy made it back to town five minutes before the boy.

Interesting... during a leaders meeting we were instructed to STAY in control of the meeting. (This would have been about 2000-2001)

People in the fellowship were not to pray for things they were not asked to.... this was a time when people were getting accused of things, and some were asking questions...

Questions were frowned upon... by a frown, I mean they were given unrelated answers, geared to shovel out guilt... Some of the answers were right out lies... like why some regulars quit coming... everyone was told not to believe them... lots of strange stuff~

Most people in our area wanted to know what TWI was going to DO about Martindales mess up's... and they had questions about those too... how many? how long has this been going on? were there others close to him that knew about this and didn't speak up?...

How MUCH did TWI pay out for all of these law suits...

To answer questions... we looked at the Greasespot Cafe... no one knew... except after knowing that so much junk was being covered... we could no longer have fellowships & be coordinators... we just resigned & didn't answer the phone for a couple of days :)-->

Quote from ChasUFarley`

The leaders were so "in control" of each meeting. Everything was so "decent and in order" that it was mark against the leadership if anything "unscripted" happened.

This reminds me of a Corps Grad...she was our fellowship coordinator, and one of the believer's teenage son was interested in the Word. (the Mom was So excited that he 'finially wanted the Word) He was fairly modern w/ lots of earrings & 'in' clothes. Corps girl requested that he remove the earrings.

He was a bit put off by all of it, and didn't appreciate all of her ragging~... so we asked (in private) why he had to take the earrings off... she said she had to KNOW that he would OBEY HER!!! The guy ended up never coming back~

Leadership thought a bit too highly of themselves... control trips!

Don't recall seeing too many examples of leadership being the greatest servants

Article and pictures brought on tears... thank you~

Just one thing about NAMBLA: Their motto is "sex before eight (age) or else it's too late." How can an adult male have consensual sex with a boy under 8 years of age?

Groups like this are sneaking around trying to get at our children~ some are having an impact... with out touching the law can do nothing~ but with Adults in positions in society, dealing with children on a daily basis... yes they are causing harm to children with their words.

Would I like to join... odd... I'd like to have a list of memebers and make sure none of them are working in the school's my children attend... like a sex offender...

What they set out to do is offensive... touching or not... & just because the law is limited, doesn't mean it's just~

Yearly physical

(picture of old man goes here)

An older man goes in for his yearly physical, with his wife tagging along.

The doctor enters the examination room and says to the man, "I will need a urine sample, a stool sample, and a sperm sample."

The old man, being hard of hearing, turns to his wife and asks, "What did he say?"

The wife yells back to him,

"GIVE HIM YOUR UNDERWEAR."

TWI has some mighty long claws in people~

This question reminds me of all the Wonderful People/Families that were affected by the insane revelation the leadership was supposably getting...

Many still in were affected by these sudden changes, and had no way of finding out the truth from their friends and family without 'doing something' or talking to someone they weren't suppose to.

Can you see the leadership, sitting around the big table during one of their planning meetings... being assured that God works in them... and as leaders, they have a responsiblity to keep 'the household' clean...Yes.. a clean-up meeting~ Special Request From Headquarters! (complete with paper work to let everyone know just EXACTLY HOW to have it done too)

They have guided prayer and manifestations... and then are told to keep thier eyes closed, instructed at that point to respond with a name when they hear the word or phrase spoken...

HOMO... d*ck in mouth... symphathizer... with-holding ABS... disobedient wife... homo children... questioning leadership... secrect debt... going to forbidden Web sites... not following through with Twig Coordinators orders... lying... refusing sex...

How else would leadership's strange behavior have come about?

Could THEIR first thoughts have been wrong... maybe they were thinking about some of those people in not so 'Christian' ways... and that's why they were 'on their minds & in their thoughts'....

Innies~ ask questions PLEASE.... isn't that what we tell our children... that it's okay to ask questions... It's the NOT asking and never finding out that is not GOOD!!!

Love to you all

NAMBLA

Do the members of this 'group' have open meetings somewhere?

I'd like to know more about this...

What is it about America that we allow FREEDOM to groups that do harm?

It seems that this group is just as demeted as the KKK!

when that WOW Vet lived at my house and ripped me off~ taking ALL my good jewelry and pawned it for Hookers & Heroin

I don't mean to be silly...but do you want me to vote if you're the only one having problems, or if I'm am or not having a problem?

:o-->

Because I am having problems signing in there... my password doesn't work & it will sign me in with a number attached to my screen name -->

Man dizzydog... your job sounds horribly depressing~ and the one about the 'dinner'... I've never heard of anything so sick in my life... my stomach hurts

God bless you and keep you safe :)-->

It was announced that the 'Top Financial' service is hired by TWI to audit their 'books' on a regular basis...

Forgot the name of it... They must be sworn to secrecy so the 'word' won't get out how much is actually going to the pleasure of the BOT and LAWSUITS!!!

There is also the posibility that NOT all monies are accounted for... maybe a SECRET slush fund to hand right back out for immediate pleasures rendered...

I do recall seeing some pretty neat 'toys' that would not fall into the catagory of NEEDS in that TRAILOR PARK~ Toys that would not fit into a budget of TWI tiny salary!

Now wait just a darn picken minute here.... I was told by HOWARD ALLEN that it was my right as an Advanced Class Grad, at any given time to demand and SEE how all the money coming into TWI was being spent and handled! Because they were HONEST and had NOTHING to hide!

Often thought of taking him up on that offer~

:D-->

Is he still alive? Around New Knoxville? Wasn't that his wife in a recent picture?

Just one thing about NAMBLA: Their motto is "sex before eight (age) or else it's too late." How can an adult male have consensual sex with a boy under 8 years of age?

I haven't read through all four pages yet... But the content so far makes me furious~

When my oldest son was in second grade, (in a split class~ first & second graders... teacher would teach one grade, give them something to work on, then go & teach the other grade in the room)...

Anyway, he had to get something out of his backpack, which was hanging on a hook JUST OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM DOOR

As he was standing there with his backpack, the FIFTH GRADE MALE TEACHER ROLLED UP IN HIS WHEELCHAIR and asked my son if he'd like to push him outside to the playground... that it would be okay with his teacher since his Recess was coming up in just a few min...

Well, the dear boy was thrilled to be asked to do such a wonderful and important task...

They just went down the hall and out the door...to the side of the building, ALL the classrooms facing that side walk were empty. They went up the sidewalk, turned around and went back...during that short time, the man told my young dear son about the MOVIE HE WATCHED THE NIGHT BEFORE...it had two boys in it and the one was sitting on the other one with nothing on...and they were...(disgusting details followed)

So, my little 7 year old got a REAL GOOD mind picture...

Now this teacher had been with this school for a VERY LONG time... up for TENURE... they didn't want ANYONE to know any details...

The police were involved, but since there was no touching, didn't think much could be done... I spoke with the district attorney... they all said the same thing..

The school held an special meeting, since all the parents were very concerned about why Mr Fry wasn't at school. THIS PERVERT seemed to be THE FAVORITE teacher at this school...

Now... this guy was homo looking all the way... sweet lispy voice... one of his ears full of earrings... tall thin man... very feminine acting... he lived about 2 hours away from the school, and the Pricipal just loved him, and thought he was so dedicated to make such a long drive every day.

During the meeting to inform parents and ask questions...my husband and I sat... the parents wanted to know who would make such horrible accusations against their beloved teacher... some even stood up and said 'yeah, let us know who they are and we'll take care of them'...

We just kept our mouth shut and couldn't believe these people didn't even want to know what the guy did... some even said so... It didn't mater what he did, they wouldn't believe it... he couldn't do anything to make them not like him...

We found out later, that the middle and high school there was FLOODED with HOMO boys... frustrated young boys, not sure of their identity...

I'm sure they had Mr Fry to thank....

The officer that took down the report came to our house, sat in our living room and said... if this were my son, I would shoot the guy, I don't care what would happen to me... but that teacher would be dead!

I had to convince my husband that life would be very difficult for the rest of us if he were in prison...

Oh, we were in TWI at the time... (anyone remember the sign 'we don't call 911' w/ a picture of a 357?)

The District Attorney came over to our house too... he wanted to speak with us and our son... he SO wanted to do something, and had gone over the law... over & over & over... and he just didn't see anything in it to help us 'win'... the School Union protected the teacher... the teacher had access to free GOOD legal... and was getting PAID while he was suspended... The DA was almost in tears~ unless he was sure of a 'win', he didn't want our son to have to go through the experience of telling what happened, and have to answer the questions of the other attorney... he thought it would be more damaging~

Another problem the DA had... in order to get to that particular sidewalk, through the doors they went through, there was no ramp... now my son was VERY detailed with what happened... Mr Fry stood up here and got the wheels...blah, blah, blah... so the guy really didn't need a wheelchair, he stood up and got the chair out onto the sidewalk... Mr Fry had eveyone convinced that he couldn't walk? That was odd... because when we started at that school, he was walking around just fine, swinging his hips with his delicate hand in the air & pinky finger out -->

We just left the school & did homeschool...

The electric chair would be far too nice...

Having them stand naked in front of a firing squad of parents, with a bloody brick wall behind them would be more appropriate! AND YES... IT SHOULD BE TELEVISED... FOR ALL TO SEE!!!... then the mangled remains should be burned right there... all televised until the ashes blow away

It was thrilling to hear that Eric has fully recovered, and spoke at your Church today... that must have been something to cheer and cry about all at the same time.

Praise God~

Another Wonderful Example of a Great Determined Mother...

Thanks for sharing about her excathedra!

And yes... it is a crazy world~
