lcm was outraged when he heard people did that. He always wanted people to send more and more money to HQ. He was also a man who'd never worked a normal job in his entire life- he went straight from college and a football scholarship directly to "working" on twi grounds, and moved up while there. He really had no idea what life was like for everyone else.

Discussions about the idealized life under communism always remind me of George Orwell's book, "Animal Farm." "All animals are equal- but some animals are more equal than others."

I think the current crisis has really made this worse. Before this started, I wasn't bad off, and was in a position to lose weight steadily- until all my routines were trashed. (My best methods of weight loss currently have involved rushing around, getting lots of cardio by lots of walking and a bit of marching.fast walking to get in everything I need done. I can lose weight 3 seasons out of the year- but in Summer it's too hot to rush around. So, I try not to gain a lot of weight in Summer. So, Summer ended and I was a healthy weight and was looking forward to getting down to my college waist size- then all the things I had to rush for all ended. I'll get the weight down eventually, one way or another (probably the same way as before, but possibly with a fun routine.) Some time ago, my best weight losses were exercise I liked- generally either swimming or fencing. I'm aware that a lot of people put on weight in 2020, and are trying to figure out how to lose it.

"You could get possessed anywhere. Jack the Ripper was from the royal family. You don't think he was possessed? You could be raised in Barbie's dream house and still get possessed. " Ah, but you didn't mention ANYTHING else until called on it. But places teaching Christ as best they can are certainly hard ground to try to get people possessed, rather than, say, some kid listening to death metal and torturing animals. "We learned in the 'dealing with the adversary' class that the devil has 4 fronts. 4 ways of disseminating info to us. 1) society 2) religion (source of the trinity, wink, wink) 3 other people and 4) ourselves." Those categories are highly arbitrary- Categories 1 and 2 overlap, since religion is in society. Categories 1 and 2 overlap in Category 3, because people don't exist apart from society. Finally, we disseminate information to OURSELVES? Rather than just parroting back what someone taught you, really think about it sometime. "The trinity is another god." The Trinity is how your fellow Christians- for whom Christ died- try to understand God and Christ and serve both. Ganesha is "another god." Odin is "another god." Zeus is "another god." " VP did, in advanced class 79, make the distinction between being adamant about the trinity and not being adamant, saying that those who were adamant were possessed. I met people like that. Creeeeepeeeee! " News flash- anyone really adamant about ANYTHING, whose life revolves around ANYTHING- religious, poltical, etc, is CREEPY (providing you're not in full 100% agreement with them.) You don't have to be possessed to be creepy, any more than you have to be possessed to be a creep. "Process this post any way you wish, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. " Actually, that was vpw's opinion that you're sticking to, but that's hardly news at this point.

"I'm sure that it is possible to get possessed by going to a trinitarian church. Where do you think twi got half its people? " Half of twi's people were possessed people who came possessed from trinitarian churches? Interesting how it's only "trinitarian churches" that are a risk for getting possessed, here. Other cults, no. Groups demanding blind loyalty, no. Actual occult practices, no. Actual devil/demon worship, no. No worries about practicing Satanists, but that Franciscan Order RCC that's feeding the hungry and helping people get jobs and housing are hazardous to your spiritual health!

No one's ever asked that before! In his final few years, he was not only no longer the center of attention, he was being actively pushed aside and ignored. He flew to the UK so chris geer could suck up to him and assure him the sun rose out of his navel. After vpw passed away, geer showed up at HQ with a gun and a manifesto- the 40-page letter about how everybody else failed vpw and were all the problems of twi without naming one specific. That 40-page letter was POP- Passing of the Patriarch.

"I love my father... Some people need to be grateful and remember that if it weren't for him, they would be dead. People stopped the move of the Spirit, (God did not stop working as much as He could)." I'm sure you realize that sounds nothing like someone who is even AWARE of vpw's predations no matter their firsthand knowledge. That sounds like someone who stopped short of saying "If he'd have lived to be 100, things would have been perfect" but sure THINKING it nonetheless. So, some people owe vpw their lives, and some people messed everything up. She doesn't owe anyone an explanation, and she's not required to face reality, of course. But I thought you'd like to know, on the off-chance you missed that.

The scene where they were combing the desert! The 2 stormtroopers in white armor had a comb, and announced "Nothing, sir" when asked if they'd found anything. The other 2 stormtroopers were 2 black guys, in black armor, and using a giant afro pick. "Man, we ain't found $h1t!". That was TIM RUSS (Tuvok of Vulcan) who got to deliver that line. Dark Helmet complained about the awful aim of his bridge crew gunners. He found out the worst offender was somebody's nepotism hire, and his family name was "@$$h0le." In fact, that was true of most of his bridge crew, so when he asked how many were there, almost the entire room's Spaceballs raised their hands. That's when Dark Helmet realized he was surrounded by them. BTW, John Hurt was in the diner when the Alien xenomorph burst out of his chest. "Oh, no, not again." When he was collapsing, someone asked to get him some water. Anyway, the xenomorph pulled out a hat and cane and did a song-and-dance number that I quoted.

"Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday, parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight."

When addressing the corps privately, vpw casually dismissed the actual dangers of hitchhiking- AFTER at least one LEAD participant was raped. He pointed out you could get raped anywhere (he named a few nearby locations). Since it was POSSIBLE to be raped anywhere, he saw no reason to reduce the risk of rape ANYWHERE. BTW, that's legally-actionable. If you run a program like this, in the eyes of US law, you are de facto claiming to the public that you can SAFELY run such a program and are legally responsible to minimize risks reasonably. You have a FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY to keep the participants safe. Your contract with them implies you will keep them REASONABLY SAFE. I know we've always had a vpw defender or 2 who claimed ridiculous things about that, so I will explain in simple terms that even they can understand- even though they will work hard to misunderstand them anyway. Let's say you want to do a "lightbearers" type of witnessing thing in the program. You're expected to have a safe environment for them to act in, and to monitor them and the situation in case there's some unforeseen problem that looms up - even if it's bad weather or a biker gang or something. This does NOT mean "So you bring shotguns for witnessing on the off-chance a biker gang comes around", nor does it mean "So you pack emergency supplies for every possible type of weather event"= although carrying SOME is a good idea, but monitoring the weather is a better one. So, what do you do if your plan of having them witness in a known crack neighborhood backfires? Trick question! You do NOT do a STUPID thing like that! No non-twi or non-extwi program plans things that stupid! Those are OBVIOUS dangers. So the vpw slave asks, snarkily, what you do to teach them believing. (This came up before in response.) It's rather sad but typical that such a person can't imagine a SAFE activity to teach believing or to get someone to "exercise" believing- as if it requires danger to life-or-limb to practice that. Any sensible group provides transportation for their own planned events- except twi, but I did say "SENSIBLE" so I already excluded them. So, no hitchhiking whatsoever, and if something like the LEAD rock-climbing is done, it's done with plenty of professionals overseeing each group, with plenty of safety gear, and OVER-emphasis on the proper gear and not climbing in dangerous weather. We had a horror story of a climbing group that was told to climb in dangerously cold weather. One participant had family that was familiar with travel in freezing weather, and made sure she prepared for subzero outdoor conditions. So, she was the ONLY person in the group that was WELL prepared for such an unsafe climb. She reported how another participant, one who had followed twi's instructions for prepping boots for the cold, had suffered frostbite as a result and severed her own toes on one foot to be able to complete the program. Anywhere outside twi, that sounds completely crazy. Inside twi world, we know that wasn't an outrageous claim because ridiculous things endangered participants' lives all the time. Someone else here REFUSED to blame twi for a vehicle accident. Coming back from LEAD, his group was REQUIRED to operate their vehicle in unsafe winds, ad unsafe speeds, and REQUIRED to get their evaluations done in transit- which distracted the driver. They had a truck that was dragging a trailer hitch on a highway in heavy winds. The trailer contained HUMANS who were not secured in place. When a crosswind hit that insane rig, the entire vehicle-hitch combo was flung in the wind and spun over. People were horribly injured- as if they'd been walking a highway and hit by a car traveling at highway speeds. Any program from groups NOT twi would consider the entire setup INSANE. You don't force people to travel in bad weather when they're safe right where they are. IF they are to travel. they are expected to travel at a safer speed, not pretend they're on a normal highway on a normal day. Finally, the people would be in a safe vehicle- like a passenger van or even an old school bus, and not something that was bound to deflect the wind. The only thing I blame the driver for is agreeing to be in a twi program, since twi dictated all the unsafe things about the incident, and would have kicked out the driver if he'd actually acted safely. What kind of organization puts its people at risk of loss of life or limb? Obviously one where human life is seen as EXPENDABLE and the participants are seen as DISPOSABLE. That's twi as vpw made it, and as practiced when lawyers don't force changes. What does it say about your supposed church group when the only times it reduces risks to its people are when its lawyers say they HAVE TO and have NO CHOICE?

NO. Seriously? At this rate, you'll end up having to be your own best friend, as if you were half dog and half man or something. (BTW, Mrs Wolf looked over the quotes, and got it at "We ain't found $h1t!" I thought that was a giveaway line, also.)

Did Raf say something? I can´t hear him over my vacuum cleaner.

Seriously? I´m just short of including cast names by now!

Is this "YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG"? (AC/DC, I think.)

I get a little lost sometimes, also. However, I'm not awful with The Doors nor Jefferson Airplane, at least with their hits (more The Doors than JA).

That´s him.

I get the feeling you know the movie but recognizable lines are slipping past you. Mrs Wolf would have gotten it by now, and this isn't her genre.

When the truth is found to be lies, and all the joy within you dies"

I agree with you about "Who's Nect" and äqualung". I'm more familiar with The Doors by their catalog than which song is on what album, but I know enough to know you just mentioned "L.A. WOMAN" and then quoted from it. I heard that Jim Morrison had to be re-interred. He was buried in a cemetery in France, but partiers kept visiting his grave and partying, leaving a mess behind for the groundskeepers to clean up, so they said he couldn't stay anymore. "How big a party animal do you have to be to be thrown out of places decades after you die?"

BTW, is Legends bothering you because they're getting fluffy and silly? Because that was the one thing I prefer about Legends when all the other shows got moody and stuff. Was that the same trailer from the end of CoIE with the same green, glowing object?
