Wow. Thank you, Waysider for sticking around all these years to help pull back the curtain and stand for Truth. And for humor. Seriously, thank you. It can’t be overstated how important GSC is.

Wax on, wax off, my dudes!

Thanks for this, Rocky. It's hard to tell if this is a victory, though it seems like a baby step in the right direction. Publishing that database is huge, but so is concealing it for years. It's like pulling teeth to hold accountable anyone in this country who can get themselves called reverend. I live in the heart of Southern Baptist country at the buckle of the Bible Belt. None of this surprises me. And Southern Baptists aren't the only ones guilty of this type of widespread, systemic abuse in the Church. Sex crimes against children or the disenfranchised is partly about sex, but it's completely about power and control. These cases are especially sinister because they are executed by those in positions of authority who claim to know God or his word better than anyone else. This sad song has been on repeat for thousands of years.

Otherwise known as "It's ALL Bull$hit!"

Wow. Fresh word salad for sale. Pure bull$hit. This is astonishingly funny. Thanks for pointing out this distinction. Who can keep up with this spider monkey with rickets doctrine? One who manifests the law of believing through believing faith which is distinctively different yet not the same as operating the manifestation of believing? Which one would I use to get a parking space? Which one would I use around Easter or Pentecost to bring about Christ's return? (I was actually exhorted to do this very type of believing, but isn't that God's business?) Which AC syllabus? '71 or '79?

Well, believe it or not (heehee), the Advance Class, on pages 26 and 27 of the silly-bus, gives some answers to this question. It seems that this kind of believing is the kind that comes from the renewing of the mind and is used to operate the law of believing. It's not the same as the manifestation of Believing, which is an impartation manifestation. "The manifestation of Believing is your operation of the God-given ability whereby you may believe to bring to pass the impossible at your command according to what God has revealed to you by Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom and Discerning of Spirits. It also inspires believing in others." Now take your Sing Along The Way books and turn to "It's Only Make Believe".
