The Klan tries to clean up it's image every few decades,but it's still the same old BS. The Klan is a hate group and terrorist organization at heart and always has been. The Klan itself seems to be losing membership to Neo-Nazi groups and Identity "Churches" these days. Too many groups and not enough nimrods to go around I guess?

I quit using the Peruvian Powder on July 27th 1979 after a four year fight,and have been clean since. Never went to AA,NA or anything like it,but I have been around a lot of dope fiends. There are two types from my experience. The kind like me,who used for fun and got in over their heads,and the type that use to help them get along with and relate to other people due to something they feel is mi

How did Ralph's trial come out? One thing Ralph is known for in broadcasting circles is he pays full rate in advance to get the slots he wants and he always pays on time. If you're trying to run a small radio station (or stations) a guy like Ralph is just what the doctor ordered. He's not hurting for money.

I wondered what this was? There's a little church down the road from me that is being used by them now. They don't seem to have much of turnout? The only reason I paid attention to the change is my first "real" job was helping plumb that building when I was a teenager.

Isaac Hayes is alive and well. That Southpark episode has ruined me. Every time I see Tom Cruise now,I find myself thinking,"Come out of the closet Mr. Cruise."

Yep. Once you're in that life it's damned near impossible to get out.

I'm an old biker. I learned decades ago that many outlaw motorcycle gangs trade in women and profit from prostitution. It would amaze you how many sex workers (strippers,prostitutes,porn stars)in this country are "property"? I've had women offered to me for sex and for sale a number of times a clubhouses,bars,and rallies over the years. It's very widespread and because o

I'm a third generation Syrian-American,from a Christian family,but I know a lot of Muslims as part of the general Arab immigrant community I grew up in. What I see in many Americans who become Muslims is the "convert zeal" that you see with many people who convert to any religion or sect? I think this is probably what you're seeing in your friend. There's a lot of X

Taking a tack regarding a guy affected by a car wreck seems supremely ironic coming from a group who's founder recieved his "revelation" that way? If you can't trust a car saleman who else can you trust?

I met Robbins years ago when he was working the "fire walking" circuit. Nice,but intense kid then. Looks like he's really full of himself now.

Ralph is something. I thought he was facing prison time for some hijinks a couple of years ago? If you can get your hands on a shortwave radio you can hear ol' Ralph going like gangbusters 24/7 on various stations. A lot of cult-like Christian groups on shortwave that can't get on mainstream AM/FM stations.

rr,you hit it on the head. I've got an old girlfriend with a trust fund who lives near there. I don't know how many spiritual "leaders" she's funded over the years in her search for enlightenment?

I knew a guy a few years back who was involved with it. It's based on something called the "Urantia Book" and is pretty loopy. Jesus is sort of "Space Savior" who came to save the earth from evil aliens or some such nonsense. It struck me as Scientology mixed with a touch of Mormonism and wrapped up as a quasi UFO cult. They have a couple of websites that tout the &quo
