Crazy-awesome…atmospheric…listened to it a few times…great mix…liquified metal licks on geetarr !!!! and I dig that song title … That would work as a soundtrack in a sci-fi movie the scene: shuttle craft Cтару Wколу arriving off-world…slowly descending out of the thick troposphere, the interactive planet Alte Schule comes to life with dangly leads of fretted flora and fauna (movie trivia: props and animatronics pilfered from the studio backlot that brought you the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series...and certain animatronics borrowed from a local Chuck E. Cheese). As the landing gear of the Cтару Wколу came down, captain παλιό σχολείο announced over the intergalactic Yama-Hammer PA system “well gang, we’re not in Kansas anymore.” ~ ~ ~ ~ More movie trivia: repeated the name “old school” in 3 different languages. shuttle craft Cтару Wколу is Ukrainian for old school; the interactive planet Alte Schule is German for old school; captain παλιό σχολείο is Greek for old school.

109. Promises are easy to make, hard to keep. From the green card to the law of believing, PLAF never lives up to the hype.

Ah yes young Chandler. It is SOOO easy to get that guy mixed up with the one from Friends it is understandable. Let’s examine the history there. An undergrad paid for by family money since mom and dad are both Way clergy and dad just made the BOD. A doctorate in pharmacy, which represents around 150k in education. You know there is no debt there because he is active Corps so there is privilege beyond what any other enjoy. Ministerial experience? Not in pharmacy school. Shortly after dad pulled a string and the BOD pulled the same trick VP did with son Don and Dons doctorate in education and experience as a principal. Zero to Way Corps director overnight. Oh and let’s have Chandler be one of the new class teachers too. The guy is a perfect representation of his background. White privilege. Doesn’t work for all the other races and po white trash without the blue blood connections. Yes they had an African in as a teacher for image. Doesn’t change the Chandler privilege and lack of qualifications. But hey look at the standard set there by your fodder in da verd. Today I’m so thankful to God I escaped that menagerie.

This is called the Schrodinger effect. Is Mike really there on the thread? Or he’s not really there. This theory has implications also with respect to the trinity doctrine. Now is it time for me to disappear again lol ?

lcm got the idea for "athletes of the spirit" in college, where the expression was already in use in Christian organizations. It came up again after college because Glenn Clark, one of the people vpw plagiarized, and his "camps furthest out" (ripped off for camps, and other outdoorsy stuff) included "athletes of the spirit" also. (None of those words are uncommon in usage in the English language.) When lcm saw the John Travolta film "Staying Alive", he got the idea to do the 2-hour production that greatly resembled some of the dance scenes in the movie. There is no need to look further for the inspiration.

I took all 3000 books in my library to the city dump....you know how long that took on the bus?

Think this is right. "Ministries" are the things that, actually, you don't even realise you have - you just feel compelled to do certain things along Godly lines. You want to care for people (pastor them), or preach (evangelise), or expound (teach). Some people just seem to know the right Godly direction (prophets, perhaps). Apostles? Not sure there. Who really are our apostles today? Are there any? (I can tell you someone who definitely wasn't one!) Disregard anything you learned in TWI about HS/hs. Relax into knowing God, just knowing; and then you'll find peaceful understanding. Not confusion.

Makes me wonder what kind of process VPW went through before he went to theological college and then got ordained as a minister in whatever church it was. What sort of selection process did he undergo? Surely at the least, references would have been sought from his home church. And then, interviews, at least one or two, with others in the church hierarchy? Or did he just take himself off to theo college, without church support, and offer his services to a local church afterwards - in some sort of capacity though not necessarily as an ordained person. As I understand it, he was actually ordained as a church minister and fulfilledthat role for a period. But then - that might be a big lie, too. He tells tales about that church in his film PFAL. But then, he tells many tales. Has anybody actually seen any kind of ordination certificate? Perhaps he was only ever a probationary minister of some kind. So if he never went through any kind of selection process, not surprising that there was no proper procedure for selecting candidates for Way ministerial roles. Much more than "heart" is required, and very much more than being nice to people a few times and reading the Bible once or twice. Even if one could recite the entire Bible from memory, it wouldn't make for being a good minister. In fact, likely exactly the opposite.
