Jeff Stanley replied to John Richeson's discussion Closing The Way Corps Site

"If you end up closing down the site, John, know that you have performed signal service for me, and I'm sure, for a lot of other Way Corps too. Getting back in touch with people, and also getting to know Corps who we weren't acquainted with "back in…"

"Great stuff. Think, if all our cars could tell their stories."

"I wish I had a picture of the VW bus we went from Tulsa to the '75 Rock. Same vintage, but the bus had enough room to keep card games going the whole way, there and back."

Jeff Stanley replied to Lonnell Johnson's discussion Pentecost--The Birthday of the Church

"Yeah, the abuse stuff got bad in the U.S. too, of course. At HQ and on the field. As a matter of fact it continued here after even after our "early" split.

God bless,

Jeff Stanley replied to Lonnell Johnson's discussion Pentecost--The Birthday of the Church

"Sorry, I'm still editing out a few errors. I'll post what I had above here...

Okay, this thing is going to get indented too much, methinks. As we keep going back and forth, are these posts going to get narrowed down to one word wide? eek!

Jeff Stanley replied to John Richeson's discussion In Memory of Skip Mesquite

"I didn't know Skip or his family, but I certainly enjoyed his music. Time and time again.

Sometimes I think about eternity, and the fact that we will have unlimited time with everyone. Everyone we knew in this life, along with everybody else.

Jeff Stanley replied to Ric Cox's discussion What to bring

"I suggest you give them to them. As far as I can see the way things are going, they may need them yet.

Jeff Stanley left a comment for Ric Cox

"Hey, I just now listened to your recordings. Nice!

FWI, I'm still workin' on Stinson's "I Got No One to Drink With Anymore." There's one chord, I just can't find the dang thing..."

Jeff Stanley replied to Lonnell Johnson's discussion Pentecost--The Birthday of the Church

"Having reread your posts a little more thoroughly (sorry about that ... :D )...

You may be right about what Bullinger's and Welch's beliefs were. I'd have to look it all up, but to me that's a side issue.

The main issue, for me, except for the…"

Jeff Stanley replied to Lonnell Johnson's discussion Pentecost--The Birthday of the Church

"Bless you brother. Heh…

Of course, I disagree with most of what you have said.

I knew that. But I figure, "with all that in us is" -- Christ in us -- surely we can disagree without being disagreeable. Not to mention what we have in common as…"

Jeff Stanley left a comment for Ric Cox

"Yeah, having been through the Corps we've all got a lot in common. I'm going to check in here more often."

Jeff Stanley replied to Lonnell Johnson's discussion Pentecost--The Birthday of the Church

"I am coming to this discussion way late, obviously. But since the subject of the thread is the Word of God, it has by no means gone stale. Not unless the importance of Day of Pentecost in the Word has gone stale.

I am going to have to respectfully…"

About Me

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1955, an April Fool's Day baby that Paul and Nita Stanley named Jeffrey Frank, he is the second of four, with an older brother and two younger sisters. He attended Oklahoma University (1974-75), Oklahoma State University (1978-79) and Southwest Texas State University (1981-82, now Texas State), majoring in journalism without receiving anything on velum. He gained a continuing education, over the years 1973 to 1978, as a roughneck in the Oklahoma oil fields for Unit Drilling and others, and as a towboat deckhand for Sioux City and New Orleans Barge Lines on the Illinois, Missouri and Lower Mississippi Rivers. In 1979-80 he served as a WOW Ambassador in Washington, D.C. In 1983 he was graduated by the 11th Way Corps and received an Associate Degree in Practical Theology from the Way College of Biblical Research. In the early 1980s he wrote two articles that appeared in the Word-in-culture magazine Free Spirit: a cover story about Way Builders called "Proud to be Builders," and a portrait of the artist Tom Cowan called "No Limits." Moving to San Antonio, Texas, from 1983 to 1992 he served as a Twig, Twig-Area and Branch Coordinator for the Way Ministry. Between 1992 and 1996 he taught four live Foundational Classes on Power for Abundant Living. From 1994 to 1998 he was the editor and publisher of the hardcopy-version of the Biblical Research Journal, which on April 1, 2007 went online. Still residing in the Alamo City, he holds fellowship meetings at his home and "keeps body and soul together" as a window cleaning contractor. His favorite free-time activity is flying kites at the park with his granddaughters Sierrah and Brooklyn.

My Interests

Biblical research and teaching, fellowship with the saints, figures of speech and rhetoric, reading and writing fiction and nonfiction, listening to and playing music, art and drawing, economics and financial markets, following politics and current events, history especially of the American frontier, firearms.

Employment or Career

Last book read: "SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Special Forces in Vietnam." My take: Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of that war. Recounts both the incredible valor of the American fighting men and the murderous stupidity of American politics and politicians. Currently on my nightstand: "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky On my "To Read" list: Vanity Fair; The Pilgrim's Progress....

Hi Jeff, I love research and am willing to be a study partner if you desire. Don`t let my long hair fool ya. I don`t drink or drugs. I am always looking to enhance the bible classes I teach. I am close enough for coffee or lunch or ...study!
Patty Wolfe Sanders August 13, 2010 at 1:55pm

Good tunes...I like the black and white idea...I should give it a try...the sunglasses could only improve me I suspect...It is so nice to know you are only a click away.
Patty Wolfe Sanders April 9, 2010 at 3:45am

good thing I live guilt free...anything for you Jeff, you need $50 bucks you got it I will leave it in an envelope under the doormat, swing by and pick it up any time....he the next time you have a birthday and I forget instead of listen to Johnny Cash on your MP3 player just close your eyes and listen to the traffic overhead and pretend it is waves rolling up on the beach in Hawaii and that is my gift to you...dress warm so you can feel the heat of the sun, put some sand in your shoes, you could even give yourself a slight 1 degree burn by steaming your face a bit to close to the steam the day before...The traffic really does sound like waves until the police fly by. Now your cardboard box is a cottage on the beach in Hawaii...now that is a birthday present isn't it? ps

Oh man I missed your Birthday??? What kind of friend am I???
Well, Happy Birthday a few days later...How can I EVER forget you April Fools Day B-day?? I am just trying to stretch your birthday into a week or something. Glad you are a click away!!!

Donna Hobbs Schleicher April 1, 2010 at 2:00pm

Hey Jeff, I enjoyed seeing your pictures. I was a wow that year in D.C. too! Those were some sweet memories. I do remember you. Have the best birthday ever!!! God's best to you!, Donna
Sarah Wilkinson March 31, 2010 at 11:33pm

Hi Jeff,
And now - TODAY - it's your birthday. What an absolute bonus! Make sure you have plenty of fun and laughs and chuckles ...and not a single smattering of existentialist-deconstructionalism-hoojamaflip whatsoever!
Enjoy yourself HEAPS!
David Bailey March 31, 2010 at 4:00pm

This site says it's your birthday so...Happy Birthday Jeff.
Listened to your tunes on your page, loved them all. Thanks for blessing my life with those tunes, I really liked "Mad World." What a very very good song. Have super day! DB
Kris Weeks March 25, 2010 at 5:07am

Super photos - Cubby!

I started to smile when I saw your picture - I thought we had some good times Lightbearers with Sue Lohman our first year. I remember you writing an Op-Ed piece about our "Weapons Training" and citing other subversive groups like the Boy Scouts of America who also received the same training. Very good writer back then. And reading your bio tells me your writing has only gotten better... and probably more tongue in cheek to boot. (Now there are some mixed metaphors for you!)
