I missed out!!! Darn it! I never gave or received a holy French kiss. I must have paid too much attention when I was chastised by the way home coordinator for spending the night with my girlfriend once. And I didn’t even make it to home base that night. We just snuggled. But he (corpse) could have a drop dead gorgeous, blond, Norwegian babe spend a couple of weeks in the way home sleeping in his room (with him there). Twi was and is all about sex and control. Jack

Before twi I had an impressive collection of tools. I didn’t loan them out. During twi I was taught that the first century believers “had all things common”. I started loaning tools and somehow they seemed to not get returned, or returned damaged. Like using a chisel for a screwdriver. I quit loaning tools and was chastised for it. I seldom loan tools anymore and I again have an impressive collection of tools Jack

I'm going by what was said by HCW on page one of the thread. He said it was a Ford PU. So that is what I based my thinking on. Maybe he'll clarify that point later. Jack

Just doing a little thinking/figuring here. They were riding in a Ford pickup truck, correct? So, let’s say it was an F250 ¾ ton truck. My figuring says that means it can carry 1500lbs of payload. That includes everything and everyone in the cab and the bed and the tongue weight of the trailer. I’m averaging a weight of 150lbs multiplied by 16 people equals 2400lbs. Now add in some tongue weight of the trailer and the truck was very much overloaded. It was almost certainly loaded with an aft heavy center of gravity and the tongue weight adding to it. That means a very light front end and very easy to over steer. Was the trailer hitch mounted to the bumper or the frame of the truck? Did the weight of the trailer exceed the maximum towing capacity of the truck/bumper/frame? Yeah, everything’s gotta be perfect for the head grifter and cohorts. But the peons at the bottom of the food chain gotta use magic/believe god (don’t remember who said that) to cover for .... they shouldn’t have to even think about. And when their magic/believing god doesn’t work they get raked over the coals. Jack

The most I ever had to pee was last march. I went to the doc to get my annual allergy meds and he asked how long it had been since I had a finger wag. All you middle aged men know what I'm talking about. I had not anticipated this event and hadn't emptied my bladder beforehand. Well, before I know it I'm bending over cracking a smile while the doc puts on a rubber glove. Afterwards I told the doc he ought to make sure patients have emptied their bladders before this type of examination as we almost had a wet clean up in exam room three. Jack :D-->

Shaz, Thanks. Jack

Waysurvivor, Please explain what a body memory is. I haven't heard that term before. Jack

Worked like a champ, Thanks

Okay, what do I have to do to view the documents? I tried opening them using the link and get and error message. I saved them to my computer and still get error messages say the reader can't decrypt the document. Jack

Sorry for the derail. Shelley, When and where did you work F111s? I was a crew chief at Mtn. Home on A models from Aug 83 to Feb 85. I got tired of 12 hour shifts so I cross-trained to flight engineer and discovered their basic duty day is 16 hours! :D--> Jack

The best thing I ever learned from twi wasn’t in a twig meeting, rather it was in a Way Home of six guys. I learned to wad up some toilet paper and wipe the rim of the toilet after peeing. That kept things a lot cleaner. I still do it to this day. :D--> Jackmm

John, Just for your info, I threw out the baby, bathwater, soap, tub, bible, lexicons, concordances, everything! The only time you'll find me in a religious environment is for a wedding or funeral. Jack

"I am a real strong headed and can't see myself getting sucked into something like this." Dear Nameless, I too am strong willed. From the outside, no one would think I would ever get involved in a cult. Sometimes I think my strong headedness was my weak point that made me vulnerable to being sucked in to TWI. People thought that I was very independant and didn't need much interaction from other people. I think being strong willed was a cover for my insecurities. Getting smother loved from people in TWI also was a large factor in getting sucked in. Jack

Dear Nameless, My opinion would be to run as far and as fast as you can away from him/her. You will eventually be pressured to join TWI. Twi is a cult. I wasted eight years of my life in that organization. And, it took many more years to recover. I was young, single and not socially successful with women. A pretty woman witnessed to me. I met lots of women in TWI that seemed to care for me. They cared only as long as I was active in TWI. Years later when I questioned certain things, those same people, who supposedly loved and cared for me, turned on me viciously. Again, this is my opinion, but I think you will find similar opinions here. Jack

I remember going to Gunnison once in 83 or 84 when I was a wow (bleagh, what a wasted year) in Fort Collins for some sort of get together. I thought to myself,”Someone blew the revelation on this deal.” There were lots of folks there and no convenient toilets. For all those people, there should have been a bunch of port-a-potties. The next revelation that got blown was they served corn on the cob and some kind of barbeque meat. That’s fine and wonderful except that there was a teaching right after lunch. So, picture this. People eating messy food picnic style on the lawn, not enough napkins, no way to wash your hands, and some shmuck blathering bible stuff expecting you to follow along with your bible using your messy hands. Ahhh! Such godly inspired horse manure! Jack
