It's been so long since I attended a TLWF/Walk service that I've forgotten what the two realms refer to. The material and the spiritual? The earthly and the heavenly? The delusional and the more delusional? Maybe it is a good thing I've forgotten some of these teachings. p.s. With the one year anniversary of Marilyn's passing, it's now obvious that Gary is construc

According to Ancestry.com, I'm part European Jew (mother's side). Maybe it's a coincidence, but I'm beginning to think there might be some credence to this chosen people idea. I hope putting this forth doesn't stir up any jealousy in the forum. I mean, we've been getting along so well of late.

It would be nice if I read my comments to myself before posting them, so i would (hopefully) spot grammatical errors, and correct them in advance. Example: <I don't a problem with AD> I meant to write: I problem don't AD, with curmudgeon.

Feast of Tabernacles starts sundown Monday, October 17. My attitude is this: I am willing for the Father to take up His abode with me, as long as He agrees not to be so curmudgeonly. I can't handle another entity within me that is cranky.

The ridiculous notions we had about John, Marilyn etc. were probably not possible unless we first entered this trance-like state of consciousness enabled by those worship services. I figure in t
