This going to be a huge change of pace.  For.a long time this was my all time favorite song.  In some ways, it still is.  (sorry - - couldn't get the picture to load)

Here I am well past my bedtime. I couldn't resist all this wonderful music. (I have to figure out how to post some tomorrow)

That was sweet! I enjoyed it all, and notice that at no time did their fingers leave their hands (especially in the last selection)

Thanks gentlemen for this mini-concert; it was such a wonderful reprise!

I hope you all enjoyed your day, fellow GreaseSpotters. I enjoyed deep fried turkey yesterday, and, I'm not sure I want to go back to the other way of cooking it.  I hope the love and companionship around your table was as good as mine! And I'm also with DWBH......."peace all."

Happy Birthday, Pawtucket!

now that we got kicked out of the classroom i wonder if this thread will still be fun

I'm sure it will! Fun is where you find it and what you make it.  Everyone knows how to find this place..... changing places doesn't change personalities.....so I'm planning on it.

i was wondering how the numbering system works with reincarnation.

:

Now  Waysider and Bolshevik  are illustrious Gspotters in their own right, but on this subject I'm not collaborating with anyone. BUT...

I did have a response to your question. There is no numbering system in reincarnation: there is just past lives, current life, and next life.

oops

Indeed - - thanks for the link. I can't come close to comprehending the damage by only reading your words. Those photos really drive it home. 

Add me in! That must be a terrible experience. May God's peace and safety rule there.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Teach them yourself. What would you do if there was no school you'd let your kids attend??? allow them to be illiterate?

sorry - - double post

No,Raf! Methinks if iit is circling back, it's not to wallop you again - - he just wants to be sure he did a good job and wiped out everything.

s others have already said, I, too, have been intensely involved for many years. I don't think there was much that someone could have said that would have made me leave. If you try to argue or discuss doctrinal matters, it's not likely you'll win. After all, various denominations also have different viewpoints. Also, Way believers are carefully schooled on them so they may have firmer beliefs than you do (not to insult, but to explain the level of indoctrination). I think you may have better luck appealing to her own intellect and thought processes.

If you can get her to see how special she is to God in her own right as she is with her education and in her job, for example, it may be possible to get her to stop  thinking about quitting her job now.  The Way tries to get its followers to follow blindly; at least they did when I was involved. Try to get her to think for herself. Try to point out the negative difficulties they've had. That should be easy now that we have the internet. Google around yourself and  look around some more on this web site to find some really pertinent examples of that. If she wants to "give the glory to God", she would do better to stay away from that organization.  Suggest that she not take your word for it, but check it out herself. If she gets some understanding herself, that's much better than being told what to do by your parents.

Being separated by distance is never easy. As much as possible try not to harp on this. Of course you need to discuss it; but harping on it is another thing.

CoC?  What is that? Am I getting too old for this forum?

Only sort of neighbors, Lanikaigal. The Hudson Valley is bigger than you think!

Perhaps the coffers are thinning down so the number of hands reaching into the till needs reduction. Thus, the increase in the effective take for the remaining selected few.

It is, indeed, good to meet you here. I do hope you'll hang here for a while. 

Some of them were bumbling idiots!

Like so many others, I appreciate all you do!

I think that notion came from the Open Forum in a thread about decorum.

I am so sorry to hear this. He took and posted some great pictures (he was a photographer among other things.) He did everything he knew to raise Andrew. I'm glad I got to share a part of his life.

Chockfull nailed it!

With all the great suggestions given here - one of the most significant, in my view, was Rocky's about taking care of your relationship with your wife. When you're out, you'll need each other. Even if it means you have to stay a bit longer than you want....if she's not coming along willingly, that would set you guys up for separation and eventual divorce.
