Orange Cat

Go and help yourself to the kool-aid.

So we've got 1st hand accounts of cuts and a cold sore. I know this is an informal survey, but that's a tad underwhelming for a ministry that stressed 9 manifestations one of which - if I recall correctly - was healing.

Dear Harve, Your tenderly written letter has completely won me over. Can I come back to HQ now? Can I have one of the trailers in the back, please? Pretty please? Orange Cat color>

Though VP denounced automatic writing in the Advanced Class he seems to have done a lot of it himself. Orange Cat color>

I try to throw out cliches. They are no substitute for actual thought Orange Cat color>

Rev LarryP, Truly your motorcycle accident was the work of the Great Evil One himself, why he just knew that if you weren't laid up in the hospital with 5 pounds of titanium to hold you together that You would have been the Chosen One to follow in Doctor's footsteps and keep the glorious light that he brought to this generation alight for yet another 20 years. Oh the waste. Why we even yet could be gathering at the BRC to sing silly songs and wait breathlessly for you loudly to proclaim the glorious words of the founder each and every Sunday. Oh how I miss those glorious days. To think the motor coach would still be motoring. That PFAL would be restored in its living full glory. It gives me goose bumps. Tell me, is there still time? If we return to the Holy Words as spake by the great Profit Wierwille can we return to the glory days when the world was fresh and new and you know where you stood and who the enemy was? Oh Lord send Me. I will drive forth and go WOW for you. Just say the word, Rev LarryP and I will go. Just say the word Orange Cat color>

LarryPfal said: That's not ALL that should have be snipped out of him without consulting him. Orange Cat color>

But it illustrates the "sounds-like" figure of speech sortalikearapperwithabadrhyme. It may have sounded like VP was droaning on and on in self pity when in reality he was expressing the heaviness of his heart that his Drambui cup was only half full. or empty. Orange Cat color>

Thanks for the summary of this thread Long Gone. Somehow knowing what excathedra has gone through over the years on these boards makes me ultra-sensitive and I began to wonder if I was reading too much into certain posts. Your summary tells me that I wasn't being unreasonable. Orange Cat color>

Rafael, As is frequently the case, I hope you are right and I am wrong. A certain poster has struck me as being particularly unctous for over 3 years. And I hadn't noticed any glimmer of light entering his skull. My hat is off to you for perceiving it and to him for awakening. I will await further developments. Thank you for explaining your position - not about the abuse (which was always clear) but about your attititude toward him. You really did have me perplexed, but now you've enlightened me. Keep on thinking the best of others. Orange Cat color>

Objective. Now that's not exactly what I thought you were being. I'd much rather you express yourself and clarify your murky posts than have Rafael throw you a lifeline. Orange Cat color>

Rafael, usually you are the most reasonable of reasonable people but...in this I think you've over streached your bounds by "sticking up for Oldiesman" to the point that I wonder if you may be enabling the enablers. Whatever that means. Oldiesman is a neo-Wierwillite, surely you know that. He so busies himself in whitewashing Wierwille's sepluchure that he has little time to do ought but sugar coat the great sugar daddy on the pulpit. Wierwille's sins are real. Orange Cat color>

Hail to thee oldiesman, don't flatter yourself, I don't hate you I just hate to type. You maketh no sense Oldiesman, by whatever moniker you like. When confronted with Vic's predation you try to dodge and make it look like it applies to everyone. Hardy. You can't possibly misunderstand to the degree you seem to. You can call me OC if you like. Just don't call me late for dinner. Orange Cat color>

Who said all, Oldone? The topic is Victor Pushead the Predator. Orange Cat color>

Wow Watered Garden - way to go. Kudos Orange Cat color>

Jerry that was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I'm glad you posted it. Orange Cat color>

Hey Garth - I just clicked on your site. Awesome rendering. I dare you to put a pic of Vic on the bookcase. Orange Cat color>

Ask them where in the Word it says to go to the mall or door-to-door. Tell them you're going to go to the synagogue instead. Honestly - do adult strangers walk up to others in the mall and start chatting? Just the thought gives me shivers...but then I don't like malls anyway. Do adults just hang out at the mall like teenagers? What's the average age in twi these days - back in the 70's it was probably about 19 or 20. lol. I just can't picture grown-ups doing this stuff. Or you could say "Tell me three times that you don't hate mall witnessing with a straight face and I'll go with you. Orange Cat color>

Thanks Dot - thanks. Makes you wonder what those mini-MOGs were thinking when they covered up for Vic. Boy I sure want to run out and join a splinter group headed by a "leader" who only spoke up after Vic had kicked the bucket. Wierd cult. Orange Cat color>

Thank you Al (& thank you Ex) Orange Cat color>

Watered Garden - last year when the Catholic church was confronted by accusations of predatory behavior by some members of the priesthood and men were speaking up 10, 20, 30 years or more after they had been abused - did you ask the same question? Why didn't they speak up before? It's a great question. You could probably do an internet serach and find a pyschology paper on why people who are victims remain silent - especially in a controlling group like twi. Silence doesn't mean, of course, that it didn't happen - there are probably dozens of factors that would make one keep silent. Fear/knowing that no one would believe you. Not wanting to have to take on the Grand Poo-bah when you're a lowly serf. Being dragged through it all again and being the subject of a public scandal - imagine knowing what everyone was whispering about you. To ask another question of you - how many times did you see people leave the Way ™ or get kicked out and you would hear things about them that slandered their reputations? It's embarassing to reflect how quickly we just cut people off without ever getting to hear their side of the story. But who wants to talk to anyone possessed by fiends? Orange Cat color>

The drapes were actually an orangish-pink which she got at a marked down price for obvious reasons. Bar-mitzvahs were not invented until the middle-ages. Orange Cat color>

I once was accused of bad taste I agree that?s certainly the case But all I made was a rhyme The MOG Wierwille did the crime And I see his memory a disgrace Orange Cat color>

There once was a man from New Knoxville Who strove to get his c0ck's fill Of pretty young maids He had them in spades And put 'em on the end of his drill. Orange Cat color>

Actually the James Herriot books are not strictly biographies. I've read a couple real biographies of Alf (his real name) and they claim about 50% of the books were made up of anedotes borrowed from common vet jokes of the time. As opposed to VP who made up 90%! Orange Cat color>
