    Why I capitalize WOW, and NOT docvic.

    I went out WOW in 1976...I understand what dmiller is saying and I have to agree with him...the kids who went out WOW had more godly intentions than vic ever had...and of course, that only compounds the evil of twi...they used the young, innocent, godly, committed people to further their hedonistic agenda.

    I agree with Groucho. I went out WOW in 1982. Almost all of the WOW's that I met had good intentions and wanted to do what was "right".

    dmiller,

    Well said.

    Over the years many people have come and gone. And some have left then later have come back.

    Many have talked about there sorrows and happiness that they have gone through along life's journey.

    There have been debates from philosofical, to political, to spirtual/relegious, relationships and day to day practical issues.

    Comfort has been given and received. Help in all areas of life have been given and received. And yes, feeling have been hurt and tempers have flared.

    There is a place to ask for prayers and to pray for people. There is a place where we can try to connect with people we have lost touch with.

    We are a comunity with different opinions on many different subjects. And this is celebrated. For some this is/was the beginning of thinking outside a small box of beliefs and doctrins that have proved to be questionable.

    This has been a place of where some have started the process of healing from mental and spirtual wounds. This is a place where people have talked about there experiences (both good and bad).

    In short, Paw, thanks for putting up this site and keeping it up.

    Not 30 years yet...

    For me, I was introduced to twi in 1980. I didn't go wow till 82...

    I admit too many of my decisions were based upon what "more mature" "beleivers" thought I should do and/or be doing. Without going into detail, I made some decisions that I wish that I wouldn't have made.

    During my time in twi, I met some great people and I met some jerks. I have some friends that are still associated with CG that I still talk with.

    One of the many things that people that were in twi that too many people (including myself) wrongly embrassed was' "I have no friends when it comes to the word". I wonder how many missed opprotunities that I missed to have and make friends because of those words. Now, I concider friends as more of a quality of life indicator than things...

    I am the sum and substance of all my experiences, action, inactions and beliefs. There is no way of telling where my life would have been without twi (in some ways maybe better and in some ways maybe worse). However, I can say that I am happy with where I am at. I have a house, a car I bought new last year, a good job, a wonderful girlfriend, some good friends, good health, a racquetball sponsorship, and a cat who loves me.

    There is life after twi, and a good life at that.

    Going Back Home

    With the exception of my wow year, twi had no influence as to what city I lived in.

    I was a wow in Bossier City, LA (hated it). After my wow year I joined the Army and they decided where I was going to live for the next 6 years. After I left active duty (I was still in the Army Reserves and later retired from the Reserves, but thats a different story). I decided to move to Leominster, MA (I lived with some some great people). From there I moved here to Southern AZ with my job.

    I still go home to Salt Lake City, UT to visit my family. I am very fortunate that I am still close with my family.

    There is never going someplace and returning to exactly what you left. People and things are always changing and evolving.

    It's a sad flippin Day!!

    Here is some information from the U.S. Mint web site under FAQ:

    Question

    Can you tell me why "In God We Trust" is inscribed on coins?

    Answer

    Legislation approved July 11, 1955, made the inscription of “In God We Trust” mandatory on all coins and paper currency of the United States.

    Legislation approved July 30, 1956, made “In God We Trust” the national motto of the United States.

    Question

    Where is "In God We Trust" on the Presidential $1 Coin?

    Answer

    "In God We Trust", "E Pluribus Unum", the year of minting or issuance, and the mint mark are on the edge of the Presidential $1 Coin as required by the authorizing legislation

    Toughen you up

    I was a wow in Bossier City, LA... The lc at the time was St3v3 B@tt3r@ck... When somebody was down, he was there to kick you. All I could do (at the time) was just think to myself , "what an @$$ h0le!". IMO his visits were useless. I was out of work in the middle of the year and it was taking longer for me to find a job than what the lc thought it should take... He talked to me and I just looked at him with the look of "you have no idea what your talking about", which p1ss3d him off, however he was smart enough to realize that I was bigger and stronger than he was and thought I might "kick his @$$" (which I should have done <_< ).

    The missnomier that was commonly used was "tough love", the big problem is that all they wanted to do/be was tough, there was no love to be found...

    President Bush signed the economic stimulas package today. Part of the package includes many Americans getting a check in hopes that the average "Joe Sixpack" will spend it to stimulate the economy. What people are not hearing is that this could be an advance on you 2008 tax refund. What this means is that when you file your taxes next year, you will be paying back this advance. When you get the check, plan accordingly...

    Sedona is a beautiful city!.

    When I drive back from the Flaggstaff, I take a 2 lane road that winds through the mountains. It is a very pretty drive. The people that I have come in contact there have been friendly.
