1) Once he was in charge, lcm absolutely had to be in the middle of EVERYTHING. He was in "High Country Caravan" despite lacking talent. He showed up onstage when bands did musical numbers (not singing, not performing, just posing). So, of course he ended up in the middle of this. I'm fully convinced he hinted around until someone commented offhand that they thought he should be in it- then that was his excuse to say people wanted that, lack of dance experience or no. It sure explains why a football exercise ended up in the production, even if it made no sense. The previous male lead was still in the final product, if moved back behind lcm. 2) Does not surprise me that vpw's limit of understanding DANCE was limited to, say, square dance and clogging, and thinking that people with "dance training" and "dance experience" would be experienced CLOGGERS. 3) twi STILL billed AOS as better than the world could put out, because that's what twi has always said. So, no matter how much better trained dancers could have been, that was the party line, and that should surprise no one. 4) See previous point. Also, in answer to your question, someone here (JohnIam, IIRC) once posted he saw vpw at an ROA wandering around with a little guitar, a banjo-sized thing, and saw him/heard him play a little. Didn't say he was particularly good, but he gave the impression that he could do backup in a garage band or something. We knew vpw definitely could not SING, as in William Hung level can't sing. He apparently couldn't keep the beat, as you're saying. *checks* It was WhiteDove, who said of vpw's playing, "It was passable." (That was from a FAN of vpw.) (It was at a Family Table at a Sidney ROA, not wandering around.) It was A L P, among others, that said vpw was seen with the little ukelele sized guitar. dmiller later confirmed the size of the guitar ("Ala -- I remember that pic too. I think it may be in one of the old way magazines (roa edition -- mid 70's) I seem to remember that it was a Martin guitar he had. The reason it looks so small, is because it was a 00-18, or 000-18 size -- which is much smaller than the size one sees today.") Both posters saw the PHOTOS. WD was present when he actually played. 5) It's obvious in hindsight the obsession with sex would show up there. It was just plain uncomfortable every single time the video aired, especially if kids were in the room. The theology of the production was awful. The devils were given a LOT of time, and OUR goal was to "stand our ground." General Patton said "I don’t want to get any messages from the front saying that we are holding our position. We’ll let the Hun [Germans] do that. We are attacking constantly and we’re not interested in holding on to anything except the enemy." I thought we were supposed to go forward and witness the new kingdom so others would get born again. In the production, that happened for less than a minute in a 2-hour program. After that, we were smacking around devils or standing our ground. It was about devils and about US. Wasn't about Christ, the new birth, and so on. God was relegated to the role of background player and team mascot. Nice to see you drop in, Shaz. -
Plagiarism and Wierwille: Interview with Ralph Dubofsky

Actually, I've gotten the impression that it's a lot more blatant and up-front for the last decade or so. That's part of Rosilla's legacy with twi. -

Now that I'm trying to look at the complete picture..... In pfal, we were told that there were keys to "have the Word interpret itself." The idea was to enable us to read the Bible and understand it. It SOUNDED like the goal was to produce autonomous Bible students and Bible teachers. In practice, on the field, NOBODY at any level higher than "twig coordinator" wanted that of anyone lower than that. What they wanted was us to reread twi materials, and teach from that. It's blatant and now they all but say it outright. Back then, it wasn't said outright under normal circumstances. But I DO remember a certain Territory Coordinator who was scared of the idea of people getting together to read the Bible, and getting together to actually do their own work and present it. His counter-suggestion was to have them all get together and read twi publications instead. And this was someone who was either preparing to jump ship or was already canned and working entirely outside of twi Inc. So, it was all set up to make twi'ers entirely dependent upon twi- for understanding the Bible, for making major decisions, etc. That was the goal for EVERYONE, and EVERY level. -
(That Vince Vaughn sure gets around. He was linked twice in this page so far. I could have linked illegally for a 3rd movie.)

Thanks for clearing all that up. I haven't seen that since the original airing. Only 1-2 moments stick with me, like the "Mousie...." scene, and the end of the first movie, with the Holocaust survivor telling/showing the kids how to resist. That and their first appearance where they step out and put on the Chilean miner sunglasses. That's about it. I didn't realize there was a version where the Phantom WAS named. (For all I know, most of them do, but it's news to me.)

I was so confident nobody would even know Englund played Willie, let alone remember Willie from one name, that I didn't even consider looking him up for inclusion in the list. (Willie was a character in the original "V" and "V-the Final Battle." IIRC, he was the "visitor" who looked for a mouse outdoors where he could have been seen.) So, I didn't connect the name when you mentioned it. So, yes, this was Robert Englund, the man who will always be remembered for playing Freddy Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm St" franchise.

Not any cast member of "Lost" nor anybody you mentioned. No matter what his family name sounds like, the actor was born in and has lived in the US for probably all his life. In fact, he was briefly up for the role of Han Solo and was the guy who told Mark Hamill to get off his (the guy's) couch and go audition for the role of Luke Skywalker!

Well, I hope you're not losing any sleep over it. I did suggest it wasn't going to be that pleasant.

I'm pretty sure that it means that your SEARCHES are private. However, once you go to another website that is NOT DDG, you're subject to Google's prying. That's why people use CHROMIUM (the system UNDER Chrome) rather than CHROME (the browser that Google signs and uses to track.)

Plagiarism and Wierwille: Interview with Ralph Dubofsky
WordWolf replied to penworks's topic in About The Way
vpw was excellent at that. He completely fooled lcm as well as many others. So, lcm believed vpw got all sorts of revelations every minute of every day, and made all his decisions by revelation. So, when lcm ran the show, he thought that would apply to him as well. lcm was successfully conned, and was totally sincere. So, when he messed up, he did not cover up his tracks. That's why he was caught. vpw knew all along he was running a con, and made a point of covering his tracks. (He had a whole cadre of people to clean up after his attempts to molest or rape young females, for example.) So, vpw was a LOT harder to catch. -
If it works for you, great. Keep in mind that Google's tracking you when you're using Chrome. I don't know if that will matter for you.

In the taped/filmed class, he was specific about what he was willing to let everyone hear up front. Some things, you had to be in twi for some time to hear. In the class, vpw said he'd "dedicated his life" to the holy spirit field, and so on. He went so far as to say that God "called" him to it. He never said THERE that God spoke to him audibly, and issued the alleged 1942 "promise." (If vpw would teach it to others, God would teach him His word like it hadn't been known since the First Century, a promise that doesn't even work on paper, which wasn't even told to his wife until DECADES later, a poorly-manufactured "promise.") vpw said that he'd taken all his research books to the down dump ('"the gehenna, where the fires never go out") and started over with his Bible as his guidebook. It was the Orange Book and the White Book that began with claims vpw did all the research himself... although the White Book initially at least REFERRED to Stiles (ANONYMOUSLY) IN PASSING as someone who explained this to vpw, but by the 3rd edition, he was gone and vpw had studied and worked it all out himself. As Karl K and others have pointed out, the lack of citing the sources of the material in all the books that lack them is plagiarism, and illegal (and became felonies in each case once the dollar amount of profit raised them above the level of "misdemeanor"- since even a free plagiarism offering is a crime.) The White Book and the Orange Book use material from Leonard, Stiles, and Bullinger, and there's no proper citation of any of them. The "Studies in Abundant Living" likewise ripped off a number of writers (like Kenyon) and rarely cited them. (IIRC, ONE citation of Kenyon, in the same book he was plagiarized in a different chapter. Raf would remember.) One of the problems with ERRORS in twi/vpw was vpw's claims that "his" work came from God Almighty. This means that some people (not you) have gone around claiming it was INERRANT, and even OBVIOUS errors are UNABLE to actually BE errors. In at least one case, someone has hallucinated out secret messages hidden in them that only he has been able to find- so far- and that it's superior to the Bibles we know because this is modern Divine Revelation and the Bible is older Divine Revelation that no longer reflects the originals (according to him.) The Bibles we have are of varying levels of error and interpolation, depending on whether vpw quoted a particular verse or not. (I kid you not.) With vpw using plagiarism to make himself look like himself was some great one, there's still a few people saying "This man was the great power of God". Simon Magus would have been envious of how long his con has continued to last. -

Ok, this one is going to be a tough one. I'm hoping someone gets it before I post the very last name- which is by far his most famous role and should elicit his name immediately.

If you ever get a chance, watch Robert Wuhl's two "Assume the Position" 1/2 hour specials about history. One of them has fun with something from John Ford's movie, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence."

.......... ?? I don't think I've seen even one movie with this actor. Jimmy Stewart. (No, not even "It's a Wonderful Life.") But I do know that he "went to Washington" at some point.

Hello. If this was not any form of advertisement, then there's some connection with twi or ex-twi groups with the subject, or at the very least with the original poster. So, since you say this was not, either there's a connection to twi or ex-twi groups with the artist or yourself. Therefore, I ask. Who is E.B. Stowe, and what is his connection with twi or ex-twi groups? Or was the connection with twi or ex-twi groups with yourself?
-
My internal (GSC) search for him gave me only that thread as well. (I was wondering if he was some ex-member who had done art and was known to some people but not to me, as had happened before with Dave Arnes0n. I still find no connection to twi or ex-twi with this artist. Something like 1/2 the posts on that thread were by people who didn't post here before or after that, on any other thread. That made it look like this was completely unrelated (especially since he put it in "Open", the most off-topic forum), but I wanted to allow for the possibility I missed something. Then this thread came along in the "hello, my name is.." forum and was remarkably curt. It looked to me like an advertisement. So, I gave the benefit of the doubt and posed the question. If the original poster ever replies, perhaps I will learn something. (Or not.) (Oddly enough, StartPage searches don't pop that thread up in the first few pages of results, so it's likely the OP used DDG to find us.)
