AssemblyBoard

YOYOYO! I'd just like to give a shout out to my bros and sisters from or formerly from the Assembly.  Keep it real, and if it ain't real, make it real.

*rubbing ear* hey, nice set of lungs. good to 'see' you again, ben  :) so how are things going? what have you been up to?

I'm doing well.  My family and I are checking out a church gathering called New Covenant on Sunday, and I'm pretty excited.  Also, with all the time I have freed up right now, I'm becoming a volunteer for Campus Life Ministry (high school ministry), something I've wanted to do for a while.  I'm currently attending the U of I majoring in elementary education.  I also enjoy singing and want to join an acapella group on campus in the near future.  

It;s so awesome to hear from you my cousin Dan. Send me an e-mail sometime. Also, Brian, how are you and your wife. I dont know if you remember me but I remeber fun times at camp with you. Hope to hear from both of you soon. :)

Well, while the bandwagon is rolling, i will have to say that i remeber Brian being my cabin consouler many a year ago at Kids Camp.  I remeber recieving Christ that year, and to make it even better, it was with Brian whom i prayed  :)

HEY BRIAN

Remember me?  Big guy? Glasses?  It's been a long time, but I am really happy to see you alive and well.  I, too, remember those years at camp.  You were my counselor a few times and those were some great times.  Well, I would be glad to hear from you anytime.  Keep up the good work.  I will be praying for you and all that is going on.  God is working.  And I am still a big guy with glasses.

This is the very first time I've posted here.

Brian, do you remember me, Phil Strangman? Short kid, black hair, nerdy glasses? You were my counselor one year in Kid's Camp and a really good example to me. I remember one day talking about Rich Mullins with you. I couldn't believe you actually knew about him and like his music!

anyway, it's cool to hear from friends from long ago...

Amen
We have more people representing ST. LOUIS.  Frankly, I think this town is underrated.  But who am I?  Just a regular ol' midwesterner.  Anyways, God is doing His perfect work.  I am glad to be a part of it.  Ciao.

Luke

oh wow! what an awesome suprise! hey guys  ;D

one of the things i missed most after leaving the assembly was kids camp. i really enjoyed all the good times we had, and it meant a lot to me. of course, i remember each of you clearly, and have thought of all of you many times in the past several years, wondering how you were doing and wishing i could explain my departure from the assembly to each of you (and so many others) so you would understand and not be hurt or stumbled.

ok, so to try and respond to all this stuff: i don't know if you guys knew this but i was also quite the singer when i was in hs. won some contests, performed in choirs and musicals, etc. it was a lot of fun, and a good outlet for me.

i remember that samual skit! while we were performing it the pins holding up the 'shirt' that was operating at the top half of my pants came open and i almost lost my drawers in front of the whole camp   :o  ;D so i was trying to finish my performance and hold everything up at the same time, just cringing in anticipation of that fateful moment when... ah, well, we made it to the end without mishap, and had some good laughs after.  8)

remember terrorizing the local crawdad population? and we actually got the cooks to boil n spice them up for us. good stuff.

i absolutely have to run right now, but i'll post more later!

The crawdads! They tasted so good! I'm a shrimp, lobster, and crab fanatic, and i tell ya dem crawfish ain't bad. not at all.

I hope Kid's Camp stays. I remember one year me and Luke Robinson were homesick, every day we'd go up to each other at the pool or something and say, "Hey...yep, one more day closer to going home." Don't take that the wrong way, though. I have great memories of Kids Camp, such as the time when Joel Mathews got a leach stuck to his leg and it wouldn't come off for over an hour. I also remember staying in the big lodge at EWALU and some kid fell off the top bunkbed in the middle of the night onto the hard cement floor. I guess he was OK, though.

Kids camp was such an awesome time. I would have to say that that was a life changing week for the good every year for me. I met great people and many counselors who were willing to listen. I hope that camp continues. It's definitely a highlight of the year.

Well I know that probably none of you know who I am, but I'm from the assembly in the valley (sunshining California!!!!) I went to the kids camp out here and it was pretty cool. I remember the Teen Team alot better than I do the kids camp tho. It would be cool if any of my former friends from either kids camp or the teen team contacted me. I've been out of the assembly for about 3 months so it hasn't been that long but I do know that none of my friends have been allowed to contact me. I miss alot of my friends but I wouldn't go back to the assembly if you paid me because I totally disagree with the way they treated people there. I jus thot I'd say hey and give a shout out to all the peeps still in the assembly. You all know i love you and am constantly praying for you. Luv ya lots*muah*hope to hear from you guys soon

Luke R., Ben, Dan, Brian, Phil and Brittni (and anyone else who's run into me at some point in time):

HEY! You guys (excluding Brittni, cuz i talked to her a week or so ago) probably dont remember me, i was on teen team last summer, and I've been going to Kiddy Camp in the Midwest since i was in kindergarten or so. Thats about 8-9 years going now. since this is shoutouts, i just wanna say "HEY!" because I remember YOU! :)

Emily Sturnfield from Chicago

I'd just like to return shout outs to people who have responded to my original shout out.  A special shout out to my boy filthy Luke R.  You'll be recieving my email soon "dog."  

Hey Emily!
We didn't know each other that well, but I remembered you.  How's life been treating you?  Yeah, I remember all of us going to the Kid's Camp and the Teen Team.  THOSE WERE SOME AWESOME TIMES!!  I will be praying for you and your family.  Feel free to write anytime.  Say hi to Josh and Luke, and your parents for me.  God Bless.

Your Brother in Christ,

Luke Robinson  

Ben, my deah boy,  Ah am nohot filtheh.  I jshast toock a showah zee uzah day.  
WHAT IS UP YO!!  HOW YOU DOING?  REMEMBER AT THAT CONVACATION, 'BOUT A YEAR AGO?  WHEN WE DID THAT LITTLE IMPROV WITH THE BANANA SALESMAN?  (I think it was bananas)  OH YEAH IT WAS A JOB INTERVIEW!!  That was great.  Maybe we can make it into a movie.  And also, that teen campout last year when we would trade off acting big and bad with a machete on our belts.  Keep writing man.  Also, feel free to come down to St. Louie.  Love to have you.  By the way, are you coming to the TT Conf.?  If so, then I'll see you then.  God Bless.

YO BROTHAH

Luke "Filthy" Robinson

Ah, the younger generation.

1 Corinthians 14:27
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

Do we have an interpreter?  ;D

Okay, okay.  I'm sorry I asked for an interpreter.  At least I eventually got through Luke R's post, but this one could take a while.

 ;D ;D ;D

*sigh* its okay retread lemi put it in english for you:

Luke! my main overbearing and towering man! you're planning on heading out to the teen and teachers conference? awesome! i can not believe we are seniors this year. and i can believe even less that we will be the oldest teens there. they have worked in my life so much ofer the years that it is hard to think this is the last one i will attend.

and then he changed the end to "last one i will be attending"

*sniff sniff* :'(

my sister is all grown up!  ;)

im not sure whether to feel loved or insulted  :P :-[ ;) ;D

Oh, i love you Ems  8)

i, the leading postrix, rebuke you brother!....just kidding...sort of... ;) u know i love you luke

You know, keep tossing the whole postrix thing around and there will be a change in heirarchy here ;)

i dunno luke... i got 260 posts in one day on the ANOP (all night of posting) soo.... ;) as far as a change in heirarchy, you might become the lead poster, but i'll still be the leading postrix. :D

as we wreak the converstation on this forum, i will say, dont tempt me :)

good idea. so anyway, it's nice to hear from everyone. :)

ok, i am going for it.

did you know you can only post once every 5 seconds?  i will aim for 800 tonight :)

ok, just a warning, i will leave my little script running for the next hour or so, lets see how many i can get.  Stay away from the "ignore this thread" thread

read my public apology lucas, i'm sorry to have stumbled you and caused you to believe this site is for entertainment/contesting purposes against your family, in the flesh and in Christ.

ugh, i WILL get 800 posts tonight.  need to work on the script...... :)

Thanks for the interpretation.

Sometimes I feel like an LP in a eight track cassette CD DVD world.  And don't ask what an LP is.  ;D

But have you interpreted my post yet:

This should be easy for you compared to you brothers post. :)

MY! MY! MY!
I had no idea that my letter to Ben was so popular!  It must have gotten quoted about six times.  Well, I am really okay, I was just trying to put on a different accent.  Retread, don't tell me that when you were a kid, you didn't try out different language accents.  You probably walked around the house talking in a Russian accent, until your mother would get "very put out".  Oh well.  I do know what I was doing.  Just messing around.  But then again, if you read real slow, taking everything one syllable at a time, you will figure it out. ;D
Wow.

A brother in Christ,

Luke Robinson

But when ye post, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Yeah, i owe people apologies.  It was a script i left running before i went to bed.  It was supposed to read from a qoute file but i guess i messed up and it only read the first line a couple hundred times.

I just want to apologize for my stupid actions in this.  The late hour and idea to see if it could be done was why  I did.  Once again, sorry for the inconvience.  I will not do that again  :-[

luke:

i forgive you. even though i didnt have to cheat to get my number of posts. and even though i worked hard. and even though mine were all in conversation, not random quotes. but i forgive you, and love you as always.

Too wise you are
Too wise you be
I see you are too wise for Emmy?

Do not pick on my daughter   :)

Very Good. Very, very good.  I actually meant too wise for "me", but "Emmy" works great. (why didn't I see that, I guess you may be too wise as well - maybe it runs in the family :))  Since the original post was for Luke, that would mean that he was too wise for "Emmy", and she just might disagree with that (and I wouldn't want to be responsible for fueling any sibling rivalry) ;D

Mr. and Mrs. Plum have six daughters and each daughter has one brother.  How many people are in the Plum family?

also

In our calendar, some months have a total of 30 days, some have 31.  How many months have 28 days?


now, i know they are rather basic, but w/e i am tired :)

as for sibling rivalry, "she is better than I"

Made me think for a second there.  But, I would guess that there are 9 Plums. One Mom + One Dad + Six Sisters + 1 Brother (they would all have the same brother).

All months have 28 days. Most just have some extra ones besides (I have heard this one somewhere before)

"she is better than I" I love you're skillz with Grammer bro :) you make me proud.

and dad, thanks for keeping retread from picking on me ;)...even if you DID call me Emmy in public in the process....  ::) :P >:( ;)

Ask your dad (or check his post from a few days ago).  He deciphered it.  Maybe he is YY (too wise - this is a hint).

I meant that Luke was too wise for "me", but your dad's interpretation of "Emmy" works too.

2ys, U, R, 2ys, U, B, I, C, U, R, 2Ys, 4, ME

oo i understand

rock on  ;D
