Out There

30 Years ago Tanya Tucker gave me a kiss on my right cheek because I helped her get a bag to the desk at a hotel. I haven't washed that cheek since Bless and Treat? I never heard that one before. It's prewtty goulish to come up with a term like that. The best gift I ever got while in was a case of Rolling Rock (ponies)

Sorry to side step a little but I thought I would throw out this thought. For years I was told "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" I finally looked it up in the dictionary and found to my surprise that it's not. As a matter of fact it's right next to Cleavage.

Doojable Instead of the impersonal AMF I prefer the more intimate KMA (along with the appropriate sign language) Boy, the motor home was one den of iniquity. where was I when all this stuff was going on? Probably out in the field with my butt toward the sky picking up rocks. Some way builders knew me by my a$$ which every work day was picking up little rocks next to Allen Gym. I missed all the sex and the drinking and the drugs and every other sinful pleasure - DAMM!!!

I can't count how many times I've heard the words "Fog Years" yet the whole time I thought the weather was pretty clear. To me it was a time of enlightenment, I got to see what LCM was up to and see him for what he really was. I heard Don Wierwille say at a Corps week that the veil over there eyes had finally been lifted and they saw Chris Geer for what he was really doing. I turned to the person next to me and said "I think he just pulled the veil over everyones eyes". To me it was like hearing the captain of the Titanic say "The pool is open" I think that was 1989 - my last corps week. I went to HQ to see if there was anything salvagable out of the ministry. In all good conscience I never would have been able to stand before God had I stuck around a day longer than I did.

Hello Hello press what again, damm it I hate these auto things hello hello ah screw it

Hello Hello Hello Hello Is anyone out there? Hello

I heard that she runs a very swank place. I'm sure there will be good customer service. The article I read about it is she states it will be a place where the customer comes first.

Oakspear- what is there to partially agree with? the term alot of truth to be had is pretty clear - not 100% not 1% but "alot". VPW lived a long time and wrote alot of things and spoke many sermons. Maybe we need someone like you to keep examining his things. I prefer to look at a few in light of what I need at any particular time, glean the truth I can from it and move on. If I get hung up on any one thing too long it distracts me from my big goal - My face on a Wheaties box

I don't think I have ever been in Fort Worth. I've flown through the Dallas Airport a few times but Never left the airport. I guess this is not enough to say I have been there. 4 posters? I think we have something going here.

Tonto I was thinking the same thing? Do you ride with a Loan Ranger? Any idea how many 11th Corps have recently been posting here?

Definately more info than I needed

It strikes me odd that the thought is that devil spirits hang out in cemetarys. If you were in the business of posessing people you think you would have the common sense to hang out with live people. If you were a salesman you would hang out where your prospects would be. Unless you are a really bad salesperson. I know people who live close to cemetarys and I don't see any harmful effects other than a quiet backyard.

A little birdie tells me who everyone is....

I'm "Out There" but I post on the 11th Corps site

Hello Doojable - Its great to have you with us. The coffee is nice here, rarely bitter. TGN, I was an AAC certified guide before I entered the 11th (1973) so I knew a bit about what I was doing. Kev!n Smythe made sure I knew he was a superior human to me, after all, God had put him in charge of BLEAD. I mentioned a couple things that needed to be done to make the program safer and was told that I was full of pride and I don't belong in the corps if I couldn't control my pride etc. etc. I wonder what percentage of BLEAD programs had an injury of some sort on them. I'll bet it was over 35% and probably closer to 50%. Pat lynn once made mention of this at a dinner how alot of us "kids" were getting hurt and we needed to pray more for everyone at lead. If the staff took ten more minutes to evaluate and do things safer in the first place we could have saved alot of pain. I am always outspoken about the lead program. I always thought that it was handled very amateurishly except when Skip W00d was there.

In-res Beer was good. As a matter of fact there were many hours spent coming up with ways to beat the two beer system. A couple I found were the really tall glasses at a cowboy bar in the middle of Emporia. Another was a couple cases that were hidden in the matresses that filled the old pool in Allen gym. one of the first guys to leave the corp stocked up the pool. A few evenings found me after class, between some mattresses soaking up a warm one. It's really bad now that all these years later, no longer under the law, do I ever drink more than one beer. (except when I am with some guys in South America, and then I am drinking all different kinds of hooch, most of which is totally unidentifiable. If you have ever drunk fermented goats milk you'd know what I mean) I will always remember my experiences at BLEAD outdoor academy. From a professional point of view it was the most dangerous program out there. I am surprised we didn't see more problems than we did. I said something once and almost got my arse booted out of the corpse for it. Mommas, don't let your babies go LEAD

OK, I just read this thread and I cannot find any fault with the statement that sickness is death in either part or in whole. The way I see it there is alot of truth to be had from what we heard in these classes. If we keep putting every phrase that ever proceeded out of VPW's mouth under a microscope we will be pretty miserable people. I remember Martin Luther made the statement something to the effect that " I pass gas in Whitenburg and they examine it in Rome"

I never heard of the nice warm cozy floor. Did it have a carpet on it? My first year down I got picked up, first ride, by a guy who had lots of beer in his car. it helped make the ride shorter TGN - you looked like such cute baby

Oh, now I feel as though I am more perfectly instructed in the ways of the 9th corpse. I was concerned because anytime anyone mentions ants, golf clubs, and my Balls in the same thread I feel intimidated. I am humbled to have been spat at the feet the great Harve.

huh?

coolchef - could it be Absolut Devils Plant?

yeah!!

I'm here waiting in the Sonlight room, Is anyone coming?

Didn't Frankie play a role on the Sopranos last season?

I remember P. Pucke from in res but when he was in GR I never had any contact with him. From where I sat (On the bowl) He didn't exhibit alot of love of God toward the people here. Thats too bad because he was in a position where he could have done alot of good.
