The Thunder Bunny Bluebird Bus Has Sailed

[john_r_jones]

My only Blue Blazer in the closet has about twenty years of dust on it. The last one I bought was in the late eighties, not that I wore it that much.

John

[miltietoast]

Do you mean dust and forward? Me, too.....(you too, freedom...)oops, you maranathites all look the same

[flo1151]

I don't have a suit. miltie I think that's a great idea. What kind of honorarium

[miltietoast]

they each pay us 5,000 to be donated to charity we all agree on ,in the meantime we will invest the money until we all agree, then we will be rich from the interest

[john_r_jones]

Ah MLTS, could I come and screw-up the sound? One thing I want to do when I get to heaven is see where all the big hands are stored.

John

[flo1151]

John,
you always did a great job on the sound.
Bob just wanted it louder, (but in the spirit)
miltie,
where's your faith it should be $50k for Bob and $25k for Joe.
Joe might have to pray for another phenol tank(inside joke only for oldtimers)
I definitely say cookeville or Murphrysboro some place that is hard to get to by plane

[mdillon]

folks, I kid you not, Papa Docs is still there. has been remodeled so we could take honorarium in advance spend a little for redblack carpet for walls- huge popcorn machine and don't forget the kosher wine for communion.

(God, flo, I can't believe you said phenol tank LMAO)

md
p.s. jrj bring "Father Sun, Sister Moon"

[lablady2]

What became of Joe and Katie Smith? I know that went to Gainesville, but I never heard anything about either one of them after that. I think their son, Mitch (?), was a pastor somewhere.

My husband works at the company Joe worked for before he went full-time. He said someone will occasionly bring up Joe and the fact that he would "lay hands" on equipment that wouldn't work. Gives all the engineers a good laugh.

[flo1151]

I vote for papa doc's and father son sister moon.

[john_r_jones]

Bob just about had kitties when that movie played, a naked Saint whoda thunk? Mogen David and Matzo bread, gives me chills to think about it. Who's gonna have the word of knowledge about masterbation that Bob seemed to have about every third communion service. I remember on New Years eve service where that was done. Auld lang syne.

John

[gah51]

When you were kids, did any of you ever play Red Rover? Two opposing lines of kids face each other and one line calls out the name of someone in the other line, "Red rover, red rover, send Glenn right over". Then Glenn runs across and tries to break through the line. Well, that's what I feel like. I've been called out so many times on this site, maybe its time I come on over. My disguise is only slightly better than Dillon's, but what do you expect? I learned from the best.

Here’s the problem; I've tried for a month to get confirmation of my Factnet registration and in the meantime I had a birthday, so now I'm really gah52.

[mdillon]

lablady- mattie posted Joe's website a few miles back somethread, but I'm too scared to go back and get it. it is interesting, though, as miltie pointed out that the full manifestation of the five fold ministry has been embodied in Joe Smith. so, with that news, will the last one out turn out the lights.

md

[lablady2]

A word of knowledge about masterbation in a room full of college kids? That's steppin' out on a limb, huh?

[flo1151]

welcome gah51. Longtime no hear

[john_r_jones]

Welcome 52,

John

[mdillon]

flo, the bus driver is here!!!!!

welcome gah52! grab a chair and a beverage and choose whatever weapon you need to shoot a bull.

good to see you here. when we heard you were trying to get signed up, we just told them to hold on a bit so we could thrash you about.(kidding)

[matt_hatter]

MIltie: The Winona Motel still has rooms by the hour(Alley Cat will need another shower)

Miltie, we actually loved the Winnona, it was away from the hubub and we hoped we would get a room there every time we had MLTS in Cookeville. I recall there was a little tavern attached, (I think it was there) and I would go in there, thinking I was going to get somebody saved---jeez---instead, I listened to the country music and wished I could wrap my lips around one of those Buds.

BTW, the Allie-cat is not a clean freak. She is a runner. That is why she showers twice a day. Miltie, on the other hand, comes from the Sat. night bath upbringning and come Friday, it is no fun being around the guy.

Allie took Miltie out for a run one time on one of our visits up there, and 10 minutes after she got home, his worn out azz comes dragging up the drive.

Feeling some embarassment for my friend, I hooked up a RR IV, and placed him on a lawn chair and put Freebird on the CD player. He was good to go in no time.

Oh BTW, JRJ has inspired me. Visit the Hatter's Blog, if you dare.

[flo1151]

I feel safe now that Gah is behind the wheel. Wait a minute we may need to see som ID. You know you can never be too careful about who drives the bus. By the way I knew someone who broke their arm playing redrover.

[matt_hatter]

Gah! Is that what those demons said when Bob hootah'd you? Welcome friend, we've been waiting for you, this bus does not have wings....yet. Have you made a whoop-clacker list yet? Dilly is on the top,I am sure.

Matt

[sameo]

Red rover, red rover send Gah right overrr! Welcome!! glad you finally made it! :-D YOU may wanna stay in the front of the bus for awhile..we better break you in slowly. hehe

Lablady-even Miss Kitty blushed on that one!(went out on a limb for sure) I can't believe anyone admitted to it! ha

[sameo]

OK, as usual I put my foot in my mouth....was going to delete my post.(Not the welcome Gah)ha But I meant to say, or I should have said, I can't believe any of "us"(including myself admitted to half if not all of things we did. I didn't mean to make anyone feel badly who would admit to what um..."What she said." lol (j/k Lablady!)

That's the way they manipulate and control though. Getting kids to confess things that are no one's business-and should between you and God only.(unless you otherwise need to take it to your pastor or trusted friend) And taking one's sin's to your shepherd(in maranatha) only really meant...then they took it to their shepherd who took it to the pastor who too it to the elders meeting....and everyone knew! Gossip, gossip, gossip!(manipulation and control) OK--so I would have just deleted, but since I couldn't-due to 30 minute limit passing)What the heck.

This is over 6-8 lines so I know lablady won't be reading it. ;-)

Hohum! sameo

[lablady2]

Sameo: I read every other line, so I got the idea. Actually, I was just responding to jrj's earlier post. I hope I didn't embarrass you. That's one of the problems with being a nurse - nothing embarrasses you anymore. I am often inappropriate. I could insert a catheter with one hand and eat a pimento cheese sandwich with the other.

I'll try to be more appropriate, but I probably won't make it.

[mdillon]

now THAT is talent, lablady. however I'm considering moving you a bit closer to front because I won't be able to eat our sammiches with you back here---no offense. on second thought, miltie's over there asleep with his feet in the ice chest from dancing all night so why don't you just ease over there.

(whew!)umm- sameo, just sit here 'tween me and lablady and you to carry on.

md

[lablady2]

md: patients are required to "void" within 10 hours after surgery. Often, a sleepy, male patient might be non-compliant. I found that if I sat a urinal AND a catheter kit on his beside table and told him I would be back in 15 minutes - his choice - I often struck gold in the urinal, if only a few ccs.

Forget leadership...that's power. http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/happy.gif

[mdillon]

lablady-"I often struck gold in the urinal"

the skills and experience of wordsmithing that it takes to craft a sentence like that---well, I simply marvel

md

[lablady2]

md: were you this freakin' funny 25 years ago? If only I'd known!

[matt_hatter]

This is all too funny and painful at the same time. The 9 inch gash in my chest: no problem. That pesky catheter: damnation. Loblolly, the comment about catheter/pimento cheese doesn't even phase me, been shackin' with an RN for 28 years. Nothing shocks her, except I get stuck doing some of the dirty pet work.

Dilly: Think on these things: Miltie with a catheter, and ice chest full of RR, and we can keep him immobilized for the entire weekend.

Matt

[mdillon]

i was bloomin', lablady. practiced my skills at staff meetings. its where mystery science theater got the idea watching stuart small, mike caulk, mark caulk, mcclimens, et al. making snide remarks amid the chimps in charge. I could actually get Bob and Rose to laugh, esp Rose. kinda like the thrill of a bungee jump on a rope too long.

md

[lablady2]

I'm off for the day. My dad is in the hospital, so any prayers, chants or good vibrations anyone wants to send our way will be much appreciated.

[lablady2]

You...made...Rose.....laugh? Rose laughs? Rose Weiner?

I bow to you.

[mdillon]

Rose was actually a pretty good sport away from the craziness. I wasn't around her much but when I was, hey, keep her distracted, you know.

gotcha covered LL- off to the mines myself. bout time to bury this thread. bunnyopholus left days ago

peace,
md

[lablady2]

matt: You just bring out the worst in me. But you did remind me of the idea I want to take to "America's something Inventor." I'm thinking of designing a really cute (pink?) catheter/catheter bag with a shoulder strap that looks like a purse. This would allow all those old ladies (not me, of course) to shop for hours without interruption. Tell me that's not a great idea!

[john_r_jones]

Lablady,
just don't get the cheese sandwich and the catheter mixed up.

Thebunny

[sameo]

Lablady--oops! I forget you don't know me...ha I was teasin' about acting embarrassed. I think it's safe to say-hard to embarrass me . I tend to embarrass other's as well....and I've had to delete a few posts....hubby said was a good idea I deleted.ha But you embarrassing me..nahhh. ;-)

Now the stupid things i can say...that embarrasses me. But not the word..mmmmmaasterbbbababa...oh,cast,(cast is our word for shat) I'm going fishin;! ;-)

[sameo]

OH, BTW-lablady----definite great idea on the catheter purse for old ladies....YOU GO girl! I expect to see you on "American Inventor." Next season! Seriously!

also, sorry to hear about your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

[miltietoast]

flo said I definitely say cookeville or Murphrysboro some place that is hard to get to by plane
heh we have a bus stop

[mdillon]

miltie I find poetic irony that PapaDoc's is smack dab 'tween us.

md

ps- if you see lablady with a sammich you might wanna hide 'cause she could be mining for gold knowhati'msayin'

[sameo]

Md--I remember PapaDoc's well. Yup! Larry Tomzack and CJ were there that MLTS! remember that? I think this has already been discussed. Sorry-am late.

Well, Gah-lly, "gosh darn it, and jeepers" sure hope Gah comes out to play Red rover tonight! hehe

[mcmstaff78]

Sameo: Md--I remember PapaDoc's well. Yup! Larry Tomzack and CJ were there that MLTS! remember that? I think this has already been discussed. Sorry-am late.

Me: Which MLTS are we talking about. LT was at the first one I ever went to, in M'boro. But he and CJ were at at least one other I went too.

Is PapaDoc's the name of the place we use to meet for MLTS in M'boror?

[coppertree]

<font face="arial,helvetica"></font>
Hi All- Who can forget Papa Doc's. How about the time , we all traveled all day, some of a night to get there. And we were forced to go out in the town and share with people in the town to help the local fellowship there. It felt like a forced march.


I recall that also, about Bob going nuts over Father Sun , Sister Moon, and then had a cow over Fiddler on the Roof; several couples ( they had not been bought together ) ran away and eloped. Wow, we paid for that good long time.}

[sameo]

MCM--PapaDoc's was a former club of some kind. MD or anyone, can you further explain? I would say the MLTS I remember there/w LT &amp; CJ would have been around 78',i think? I remember LT and CJ coming to several MLTS's. But I was in Maranatha from 75-83. I always liked MLTS with them there. Lightened the place up some. BobW and LT were always debating....never could agree. Is it any wonder?!!!

Copper---YES! I'd forgotten having to GO out in into town on that one MLTS in M'freesboro! wow--had blocked that bad memory. lol

[mcmstaff78]

Sameo: But I was in Maranatha from 75-83.

Me: I am *so* sorry!!

Sameo: PapaDoc's was a former club of some kind

Me: Yeah, but was this M'Boro or someplace else? I'm thinking it's M'Boror and I remember that huge open space (unless you were behind a pillar - am I remembering that correctly?). But I have no recollection of the name.

And having to go out on the town must have been before my time. I can bet those staunch Church of Christ folks loved that. ;-D

[mdillon]

Copper, sameo- I was "sent out" in Jan 78 from the Knoxville MCM where I had been a year to be the singlebrotherfellowelderevangelistcampusworkerwors hipleaderbecauseiplayedthegeetarusherandbookstorew orker in Murfreesboro with Terry and Lesa Jones. I can't remember, but it seems we had a few MLTS at PapaDocs because I was always mopping and cleaning that friggin' place. It was an abandoned disco joint with tile floor, red/black shag carpet on the walls and black painted ceiling tiles. The fire code probably only allowed for a couple of hundred but I remember getting over 500 folks in their once. Terry and Lesa along with Pat Kraenzle had started a bookstore right on Main St. even before we began the fellowship. Two watershed times, I believe, with CJ and Larry were when they preached on Divine Tension (miltie brought this up) and The Vision, which if I remember was a stirring beginners course into NOLR. but exciting nonetheless. Our fellowship met in the bookstore and I lived in the rear apt. I do remember the big evangelistic push from everybody because Terry, being the headman and a good businessman, was riding me like a monkey on a rodeo dog to handle all the followup cards and commitments, etc. Terry and Lesa were sent out half way through 78 (Germany?) and that's when MCM78 came to help us out and record my heroic basketball achievements for future generations.

I can remember that MLTS...we had to go door to door. I felt like a Jehova's Witness!

[mcmstaff78]

nicknak: I can remember that MLTS...we had to go door to door. I felt like a Jehova's Witness!

Me: We had to do this Saturday mornings for two hours or so the summer before I left Athens to go to M'Boro. Yeah, JWs. Something I *never* particularly cared for and that never seemed a particularly good use of time.

Mark, thanks for the update. That fills in the hisotry lesson. I'll have to look through my MLTS notes about when what message was preached. I remember the "divine tension" and I remember LT giving his "history of the restoration of the church" message. You know, every big revival movement was "restoring" some truth of the Gospel.

[maranatha1984]

MD:BYOB- Bring Your Own Bob

84: You are a genius...I see big bucks for both of us...we launch our line of Bob Toys...we linkem with video games ...Gameboy...Ninetendo...lets see...the titles

a.PacProphet: gobble up all of the dollars before the round black pulsating IRS agents catch up with you

b.Supermariomatchmaker: bounce from couple to couple..screwing up pre MCM marriage..and doing your best to put two incompatible kids together: 2 points for every fight, 10 points for a trial seperation and 100 points per divoruce

c.SIMChurch; build your own mega church denomination controling as many sim people as you can...manage cash flow...to much control and the sims kick your <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font>...to little and the lounge around at home watching the tube and guzzle beer... use words of Prophecy to get them to work harder...but if you are wrong the sims start stoning you...

Other tie ins to the line of "Bob Toys?"

[lablady2]

Gee, there are so many people I'd like to find out about. Does anyone know what became of Bob's sister (Geri? doesn't sound right). She was about a 180 from Bob. Nice lady.

[miltietoast]

I tore the carpet off the walls at Papa Docs and painted the black ceiling tiles white. Mario Murello spoke there also.Best speker ever? Bible Pathways guy was from murfreesboro.Remember reading through the Bible in a year.I did it religiously for two years.Turned out to be hidden blessing

[miltietoast]

Also Peter Marshall spoke there and Bob hootahed him on stage. poor brother

[40days40years]

Yeah that is a good question, what about the rest of the brothers and sisters of Bob, Rose, Joe ?
They were never mentioned from the pulpit.

We know Rose had a brother named Rusty. What about other siblings? These people have brothers and sisters but somehow we envision them as single children. Enquiring minds wanna know!

[lablady2]

I believe Rose has a sister -grace? Not sure if the name is right.

I would love to know what happened to Jeri (Weiner) Stillwell.

[lablady2]

Today is B-Day - baby birthday!

My daughter is on her way to the hospital and baby Elijah should be here sometime day. Please keep our family in your prayers.

Have a great day!

[flo1151]

Lablady,
First of all congradulations on the new addition. We had our second grandbaby about a month ago. She is beautiful.

Secondly,
Rose has 3 siblings. Of course Rusty. Betty Grace who at last contact was married to Philip Houser living in Austin Tx. and a brother Steve who was a doctor in I believe Knoxville Tn.

I saw Jeri Stillwell about 8-9 years ago still believeing God for a husband and living in Gainesville Fl. She was a sweet woman.

[mdillon]

congrats lablady and blessings on fam
md

[nicknak]

All the best to you and yours, lablady!! Congratulations!!

Anyone know what happened to Bob Sr. and Ms. Bob Sr?? Can't remember her name...

[john_r_jones]

Jerilyn is her name, Bob Sr. passed away a couple of years ago.

John

[lablady2]

Thanks, all.

Elijah arrived safely at 5:17, weighing in at 8.10 lbs. Mom and baby are doing well.

Grammy, on the other hand, is whupped.

Thanks, Miltie.

He's a keeper. And a breast man.

[miltietoast]

yeah krems was talking on another thread that God has an harvested organ bank and body parts in heaven for miracles.I think I will trade my God in for one that can create rather than recycle.Rae Ann wants to trade for bigger breasts and smaller thighs. I told her that was elective miracles and probably not covered,(sweeet Rae Ann did not say that I just made it up) Like the guy that wanted to get a milk bath for his wife's 25 anniversary. The farmer said, "Would you like the milk pasteurized?" He thought for a minute and said ,"No past her AxSxSx ought to be good enough." from Miltie's Christian Dirty Joke Book page four

[jesusisawesome]

That is hilarious to think of the God that spoke the world into existence needing an organ bank! http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/lol.gif It's hard to believe that type of teaching/belief exists.
