"Coffee Table of Israel"

I heard this once, and still have no idea what it means, if anything.
Disregard.

CHANGED:


'Zero...'--most EXCELLENT.

Someone will have to supply a definition for 'coffee table'. Never went to Israel.

This is kind of scary how long it's getting, and how vital understanding those words are in truly understanding "TLWF Experience." (Now if that's not the world's worst theme park idea, I don't know what is!)

As for the furniture reference - I don't know about the coffee table of Israel, but I do vividly remember the whole fellowship raising funds for some big birthday that G was having. All he wanted was this expensive, ornate coffee table with sea turtle carvings in it. I don't remember the exact amount, but it was in the thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars. I scanned the pics of the house G is selling in Hawaii, but I couldn't find it there. I just wanted to see what my offerings had gone to buy. Guess I kinda did with the house itself, though...

Someone can add “Black Holes” to the lexicon. I believe this was was a reference to collapsing to nothingness before god or something like that. This was one of many things that I saw JRS pick up from the current news of the time that I realized he really knew nothing whatsoever about. Maybe someone remembers this?

JJJ:

We took an offering for that coffee table at Shiloh. I remember it vividly and I think everyone was shown a picture either before or after the purchase. When the "Coffee Table of Israel" was mentioned, my very first thought was of this coffee table that Marilyn wanted to give Gary. Is it too late to ask for my money back? =)

JJJ:

The theme-park idea is hilarious. Would the theme be Fantasy or Horror?

* * * * *

JEWEL:

Black holes it is, but were you inferring a spiritual connotation apart from the astronomical?

* * * * *

I forgot all about THAT coffee table--Gary's 'surprise' birthday gift. I'm sure we all got thank-you cards after paying for it.

(Mine must have gotten lost in the mail.)

Just meandering through the cult lexicon and I wonder if we could point out where some of the words seem to cross each other out. Like bucket with holes and zero with the rim rubbed out.

Devastation and Cross Experience are two similar terms that allowed the leadership to look on someone who had been hurt/damaged/abused and just congratulate them on going through devastation without ever taking responsibility for causing harm to individuals.

Kboy, that list is coming along very well! Here is another one if anyone remembers it:

Sandpaper ministry--The reason you aren't allowed to complain about your annoying roommate.

Next question--what is, or what was, Impact?
