Nice job so far Pat.. hey, maybe if you had somebody with a little artistic ability, you could have a "fix up the pres for Sun. night service" section. You know, cut and paste various "items" on the poor old thing. Could have skull and crossbones, pirate hat, patch, stuff like that. Could make "Rosie the pirate."
That's one example.. the possibilities are endless! You could have Rosie the witch, Rosie the lumberjack, etc.
A GS poster has already sent me some of Rosa-lie, but I need to check the legalities of posting any of the BOD's likenesses first.
The site is untouchable legally right now due to the First Amendment protection for satire and critical commentary, so it is important to not give TWI any way to mess with the site.
I read the entire Bob Snow interview. Was pleasantly surprised. He differentiates between a sect and a cult. My biggest beef with the whole "cult" frenzy is that it's just another form of political mud slinging in practice.
Bob Snow specifically said, and the interviewer concurred, that for a church to claim that some organization is a cult based on doctrine, such as Jesus Christ is not God, is misusing the word 'cult'. Rather, to him, a cult has to really abuse its people to deserve that label. I agree.
All those books on cults from 20 yrs ago all said that TWI is a cult ONLY because of JCING, thereby admitting they also believe Jews and Islamics are "cults" since those two groups also don't believe Jesus is God. They wouldn't dare admit it directly, knowing they'd be called Nazis. But the abuse described on GSC merits a label such as "cult". I'm glad to see that someone on the professional end of this can see clearly.
Yes Pat.. it is frustrating when you insult them, and they somehow think it is a compliment. "You're the finest example of somebody with the logic and beauty of a horses rear end." "Gee, thanks.."
I think it would be hard to insult somebody who's claim to fame is that he eats three times a day, and does not mix his bread and vegetables. You would have to choose your words very, very carefully. No kidding.. this guy is a limb coordinator now.
Ah, trying to guilt me into stopping my criticism? :D--> That got me sucked into being PTA president for three years
Seriously Pat, while I applaud you doing your part to keep information about TWI flowing and all, I just don't think it's very funny. You can chalk it up to one man's personal opinion, but I prefer my satire to be a little more subtle, while your site is a bit more blunt and the humor more obvious than I normally like.
Anyway, I made my point, I shan't beat it to death - have fun

Not all. Trying to get other people to participate. I think everyone has at least one or two good satires that should be preserved for posterity hehehe

Hey Pat.
This looks like a more accurate site than any others I've seen.
The present Spewth one that is.

Could include sound as well. I can almost imagine a good "arrrrrrrgh" with a cute southern accent. "arrrrrrgh, y'all."

Pat,
I went on both websites, but I seemed to collect a lot of popups. One called Seeq.com didn't want to go away.

Wayfer Not! Regarding the popups: Perhaps you picked up some spyware that is generating the popups. Are you running good anti virus software?

My opinion is that a group is a cult when they in some way acts in a criminal fashion like TWI does.

I see your point about higher comprehension level, but how about a higher humor level?
