Getting Through : Lighten Up
three finger love people | from loch - Wednesday, April 13, 2005
accessed 2880 times There is this little thing coming up in the family that they like to call "WordStock" they even make sweet little Wordstock T shirts. I like to call it "Ado's power trip" Or better yet, the "trying so very hard to be cool" concert. I don't know, when I was still in the family, fellowships were a place to go to 1) get laid. 2) catch up on some sleep while they played the Peter vidoes.
What I hear from my little brother, who is 16, and still in the Family, this word stock is an over controlled environment, where bands who can't get gigs (most likely because all the songs they write quote GN's and whatnot) play, and rip off "systemite" songs. This one stupid kid even said to me, and I quote " There was this awesome band! They played this totaly new style of music, where they mix rock and rap!" wow, wow, and I say again holyfuckingWOW! |

DO NOT GO TO THAT SITE!
That is, if you're looking for The Family's wordstock site. The one that has the pictures of adults freaks and brainwashed kids that will hopefully be leaving the cult within the next couple years. I sure hope they don't take the "He Lives" shirts with the picture of David Berg with them!
The Family's site can be found at www.wordstockrocks.com
Vas, GET OUT OF THE CULT! They're using you to make the young people think The Family is normal!
Of course anyone who hears Vas and thinks The Family is normal is pretty brainwashed already in my opinion. (reply to this comment) |

So apparently there was another one of these fucked up wordstock festivals a few months ago cuz my little brother (who's 20, a fairly good drummer, oh and a brainwashed member of tfi) went to it while visiting the states for my sister's graduation. He wasn't allowed to bring a cell phone although phones were available there for his use. After pressing him for a reason he couldn't bring the cell phone that I'd bought for him for his trip there, he finally confessed that tfi believes that cell phones can be used by the FBI at anytime to listen in to anything going on around the phone not when just using the phone as a phone. As such, no cell phones were allowed at the campus where this mind-fuckall was going on.
Oh, and my brother's thought's on the whole thing when he got back: "so cool man. tfi's music has gotten so much better. you should burn some of the albumns i brought back with me..." and that's as much as i let him say about the matter(reply to this comment) |

What did you do that for Vix? I was starting to forget about that thread. No, I didn't know Vas, other than he played a couple times at fellowships here in Florida. I remember one time he was on stage and he had changed the words to the children's song "Pets in Heaven" to "Sex in Heaven". Even back then I thought that was a little too much. Of course I also thought it was a bit unwise as the neighbors were probably already upset at us for playing loud music at night.
I sure hope he has a breaking, as in a breaking away from The Family.
Women in The Family always seemed to like him. And seeing us how the second generation is leaving The Family in droves, and the number of singles diminishes, I don't think that's going to change any time soon.
By the way, so far you have the screennames Vix, Vixen, and Vixie. May I ask why? Don't say it's becasue you're afraid I'm going to call you "Vixie Chicks" again, I already told you I was done with that : o )(reply to this comment) |

I'm sorry it happened to you, that in itself is almost child abuse. As for my parents, they stuck with the children's tapes.
I just rememebred, by the way, that I played music with Vas once in Laurel, Maryland during the meeting when King Peter showed up and read us a letter from Karen Zerby.
He did a footwashing ceremony to show how "humble" he was. If I remember correctly he washed "Mother Eve's " feet and the feet of a guy named "Happy". This was 1996.(reply to this comment) |

Absolutely. My parents liked their independence. They were TRF supporters. Family kids would come over to our house to read the books I had because they were discouraged from reading outside books at home.
I remember having a kid move in with us for a couple months. We had to get him into high school ( I was in middle school at the time). The guy had a chance to live a normal life, but he blew it when he started bringing a knife to school. I guess he thought it would be cool to do that.
Fortunately, we found out before the school found out. I remember him playing a tape most of the time of mixed with Family music and "system music". Not exactly good system music, but the kind of stuff you'd hear on a listen at work radio station. I asked him once "How did you get that tape?" and he said " I made it myself." Of course this was a couple years bootleg CD's came out so I said "You stole that off the radio?" He said "Yeah, but if my parents found out I have this tape that would be the least of my worries."
The poor guy grew up on a ship in The Philippine. (reply to this comment) |

Oh, I still got most of the DO stuff. The MO letters, Heaven's Girl, The Book of Remembrance, True Komix. That kind of stuff.
Then there's the things like Life With Grandpa, that were also a bit sexualized. Plus we travelled a lot back in the early 80's, so we didn't get a lot of material during that time. We moved to States when I was 4.
I remember this tape we were given of one the teen camps that I used to like. Now I can't get that one song out of my head though, the one where the teens were singing "After You're Gone".
We finally left in 2003.

OMFG! That finally fucking does it!
That slimey rat bastard has gone too far this time. I've been shaving my head for fucking years for two simple reasons. First, it's low maintenance, and second, chicks dig head scars. Could it be a coincidence that a mere 2 months after my massive, shaved melon showed up on one of those "evil exer sites" Vas is suddenly on a stage with his head shaved? That little weasel has never had an original idea in his life. Even when we were 12 he was always aping the things I said before moving on to an illustrous career as a dirty rat repeating my every word to the shepherds. What a fucking punk! And how old is that girl doing the duet with him 13? What's next, will he ask one of his tighty whitey palls to take a knife to his scalp so he can have some scars to show off?
Dirty, filthy, stinking, mimicking, spineless, unoriginal rat!

Are they for real? A picture of pervert David Berg on the back of a T-shirt with "He lives" on it.????
Don't they tell the public and media that they have renounced that sick fuck? Liars!
Do they really expect us to believe they have changed when they blatently still view him as a prophet and that he speaks from the dead.

"Guitarist Jonathan surprised the crowd by showing up with his head shaved. "The Lord told me I was proud and getting too many compliments on my hair, and to cut it off!"
This sounds all to familiar, as they used to shave the heads of jetts to humiliate them if they thought they were acting to “cool” but this here was a nice twist to getaway with shaving it to look cool in your band. Ha! What would really be sad is if he really did shave it for that reason.

Hehe, yeah I noticed that too. Since when is the whitestafarian quasi-Bob-Marley get up "in the spirit"? :) (Anyone else remember it being a Big Fucking Deal when it came out that Ricky had grown his hair long and was wearing a ponytail and an earring, and shock! horror! liked to lift home-made cement weights? OM-holyFucking-G, paradigm shift people! {it's a revolutiooon...!} Ditto with wearing all black (not the rugby team ;) clothing, piercings, tattoos et c.)
It's funny, but it's quite possible that if "Mama" hadn't come down like the wrath of an angry god on a lot of us teens back in the late 80's & early 90's for being so goddamn worldly and doing obviously demonic systemite things like breakdancing, combing our hair into unusual shapes and saying the word "cool", odds are a lot of us would probably still be deluded on-fire cultie "Wordstock" kids to this day. Romans 8:28, Amen? :D
Perhaps this "Wordstock" is Zerbitch & Queen Peehole's notion of attracting young people back to The Family in "a great harvest". Bleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I'd prefer to hang out with the rolling-in-the-mud-and-human-faeces people at a real counter-culture event. --If I had to choose between that and Yet Another Interminable Family Word Class & Inspiration that is. :)
All that to say: Suck On, Turdstock.
P.S. Did anyone else wonder WTF the speaker was saying about the tsunami last December and it's effect on time? I'm sure that like all Family "facts" that this cleveland-steaming nugget has been meticulously researched & peer-reviewed by credible scientifically-trained personnel, and of course wouldn't be just the pet theory of some washed-up & balding bible-and-mo-letter-thumping ex-hippie who ingested an INSANE amount of psychoactive substances in the sixties, right? Yes, I do find other people's insanity to be oddly compelling, in an I'll-stand-back-here-and-laugh-my-ass-off kind of way.(reply to this comment) |

Aaarrggghh I'm getting a flashback to the days of my utter uncoolness... aahh, I'm remembering back then... back then... back then...
I think we should donate a couple thousand prints of Cradle of Filth to cure these demented misguided creatures....
What is with the selling CD's and T-shirts? Oh, cool, the Osbournes are in town. I can understand Vas staying there though... He hasn't a chance at getting laid anywhere else.

I think exister would beg to differ on that last point. See his article 'Official Vas Bashing Thread' for more details of the bitterness he *still* feels toward the guy for, let me see if I remember correctly, 'tapping the most sought after piece of ass in every single home' or something to that effect.
http://www.movingon.org/article.asp?sID=3&Cat=39&ID=1616
And for any of you who might be wondering why in heaven's name I care about exister's problem with Vas, well, it just hurts me to see him eaten up by the weeds of bitterness. I know he could be happy if he would truly forgive and forget. I'm praying for him. *weeps*(reply to this comment) |

I noticed that, accoring to the Workstock Rocks web site, the facilities for Wordstock seem to be donated, as was the food service. I wonder if someone knows where exactly Wordstock took place. Perhaps the owners of the facility need to be enlightened about who they are supporting.
If you know the address of that facility and would post it here, I will happily figure out who the owners are and contact them.
While lots of kids the same age are preparing for the SAT's this weekend, these folks are learning how to get prophesies from angels on the head of a pin (or something!). It's sad, really.

Sr. Teens Class: The Melding Part ll -- Elk continued his class with the Junior Teens about the merging of the physical and spiritual realms. Interesting facts about the recent tsunamis effect on earths time, the fallen angels interaction with humans, and strange subterranean life forms made for an interesting class.
Girl Talk -- Class by Sharon. This class for Jetts and Junior Teen girls touched on a variety of topics such as puppy love, how to handle heartbreaks, making others feel included on dance nights, what to look for in a guy, and other related questions the girls had.
Concert: Infused was back for another exciting set tonight . Jay-Dee, one of the Family's most authentic rappers told the crowd, "Jesus is my Homey!" and sang a song he wrote called "Homey".

Welcome to camp brainwashing.
When I read the topics of the classes they taught those poor kids, I didn’t know if I should laugh, cry or cringe. For example, “…Interesting facts about the recent tsunamis effect on earths (sic) time, the fallen angels (sic) interaction with humans, and strange subterranean life forms…” “…how the physical and spiritual worlds are merging….” “…eye-opening expose unmasks the Devil's plan to destroy man through Euthanasia, Abortion, Materialism, Politics, Genetic Engineering…” It goes on and on.

Crazy! That's my little sister.
"Then a special surprise for everyone, some new talent: Lisa (Jett) and Mikey (Jr.Teen) of Grant and Sharon, playing their electric guitars and singing their own composition Smile for Me . They were joined by Ricky (Jr.Teen), and then Gabe Raveney from Plan of Attack singing with them a powerful rendition of The Ballad of Aquarius . The last band for the night was The Sealed playing songs from their new album At All Costs . Guitarist Jonathan surprised the crowd by showing up with his head shaved. "The Lord told me I was proud and getting too many compliments on my hair, and to cut it off!" "

"NY food supply"?? Is there something unusual about how NY transports their food as opposed to everywhere else? Does the municipal govt of NY have a monopoly on supplying food to their area? Is this NY State or NYC?
I 've been on my hands and knees trying to cry out to god for answers, unfortunately all I can manage to dp is ROFL.
Perhaps someone else is a little more in tune with the spirit of vodka can teach me a word-class on this ("welcome to word-class, what U see here are WORDS!")
Perhaps a NY resident here can help me, do you know if the NY food-supply is controlled by the ACs? That might explain a bibel class on it.(reply to this comment) |

NY's food supply are the delivery guys on their bikes that run you down if you're not careful. They even deliver liquor!
NY is a gastronomical mecca, having as it does a disproportionate share of the world's top restaurants.
Or maybe they are talking about a spoof of "Air Supply."(reply to this comment) |

"Vas from Sealed sang a duet with Julie of "This is My Love For You," and a song Vas wrote after hearing the LJ Revelation for the first time called "I Feel It!" During this song, Vas, Eli and Jonathan played each others guitar (see photo.)"
"Next up was Paul and his four beautiful daughters from the far flung mission field. Paul sang a song that John Denver gave him from the spirit world shortly after he died."
"The last set of the night was Plan of Attack , with two drummers playing. The Enemy was fighting and it started off rough with some technical problems, but the Lord's Spirit took over and the set ended with a punch with the last song This is War, sung by Justin Spirit."(reply to this comment) |
