Ham

George, I think they send you to detention for an infraction like that..

Hope you have a herbal birthday.. unless you need to be too dang serious.. Regardless, happy birthday friend.

Ah, the true source of all moggish "inspiration".. All that, at even equal to or less than the "two drink limit"

Even with "speaking in tongues".. it was almost as bizarre as it would have been without.. maybe even more so. Oh.. signs, wonders.. I never saw one, outside of vey definition. I actually got the front parking place at the local supermarket a couple of times.. it was a vey "wonder"..

After quite a while, I think I finally got your point Roy. Technology is sooooo daggone cheap.. why make it such a big deal, and just "move the word", or share what think is truth.. It seems that to make MONEY, you have to make it "a big deal".

Exie, I wish my birthday was as half as good as yours.. :)

but am I ready.. hmmm. I've prayed to the Almighty.. don't let me die in this condition (i.e. so stinking ignorant). The prayer still stands..

I dunno Roy.. I think if you see where you're going, there can't be a lot of fear. Personally, I think that the Almighty has made us eternal beings. The only thing.. if I come back, I don't want to go through all of the shots, potty training.. I REALLY don't want to go through the second grade again.. Worked so darn hard to learn math, etc.. I want to take it with me.. heheh. I've heard somebody say something about death like "it's the last thing I want to do.." :) My old ex father in law twice removed.. said something that he didn't even think about it much any more. He was seventy at the time, or almost I think.. maybe we see the destination clearer as we travel fuurther.. :)

If you want to get really "biblical" about it.. passover time, they sent crews around to properly whiten unclean places. Year after year after year.. You'd think they'd just lighten up and "get over it"..

Third time.. The filthy sycophants are holed up in a briar patch where even the rabbits won't go.. still sending out emmisaries trying to hunt for some ingredients to bake the next failed cake.. HOW do you honestly suggest, that an individual confront them "as Christ would"? You were the one to suggest it.. Perhaps the best thing we can do is keep throwing lime on the place, so people know to avoid it lest they get the "ickies".

Agree with him or not WW, he didn't use in text citation, but at least he CITED his SOURCES.

Did they speak Greek? Well, it would make sense to me.. unless the Romans learned Palestinian Aramaic.. We know that Paul spoke Greek. I read or heard something a long time ago that suggested the epistles were originally written in Greek, not Aramaic.

Makes perfect sense.. honestly, it wouldn't suprise me if it were stored in the motor coach..

I think that's what makes the idea that "we don't bring anything to da word" flawed. I think it is impossible to, to begin with. The only thing a person can do is beat down their previous knowledge and intellect. I think at that point, you're right where the Mogster wants you. "You READ WHAT'S WRITTEN. If there's something wrong with it, I'LL TELL YOU.." "No private interpretation". Then the mogster mutters under his breath, "not of it's own unfolding." Syllabus said something like "not what it means, but how it came".. But instead of "reading what's written", der mogster used the verse to beat the snot out of anybody who dared say "I think.." I think if a person can somehow wean themselves from the habit of always having to be "right", always having THE answers, a lot of this hooie loses it's grip. As far a plagiarism is concerned.. the mogster practically lifted Bullinger word for word on his definition of eiplusis in How to Enjoy the Bible. At least in the sylabus if I remember correctly. Why he bothered, I don't have a clue. He muttered over it, then went on a wild tangent about why we shouldn't think when we read da word..

Probably include Maggie Muggins, Snowball Pete and Henry Buloko in his little illustrations too. Speaking of the "mantle".. where is it? I remember something said in an earlier thread, just can't remember.. Another thought.. Timothy. I wonder if after all of the hoopla was done after Paul passed away.. I wonder if he just didn't go get a life somewhere.. my conjecture is as good as anybody elses.. I wonder if the guy coming tomorrow really needs the daggone bridge.. vic didn't build a BRIDGE for "the next guy".. he built an ORGANIZATION. "leave something standing at the harvest time of life.." unfortunately it was an organization built on deceit. I think there was a bridge for the next guy though.. the one that went to the "promised land of da prevailing verd".. Too bad he fell off the thing into the "river Jordan" on the way over..

Hmm. And I thought I presented a simple question.. they run, hide from the outside world.. how on earth do you simply walk up and confront them? Wasn't my suggestion.. to confront them. Where are the details? Maybe the suggestion is to say nothing, and just let them run free, sending out their minions to try to gather people up for the next batch of "brew".. wonder what makes twi think the next batch is going to be any better..

Last (longstanding) avitar was a morse code key, mainly because I am a ham radio operator. That's REALLY what "The Guru of Ham" is all about. <<< I helped instruct quite a few electronics and radio classes here. Well, before full time school.. The Squirrel you see now is one of several that came to my window at work a couple of years ago. I fed him (her?) walnuts when they were cheap.. now all they get are peanuts.. if there wasn't any food waiting for them, they'd do this funny dance. I snapped the picture at just the right moment..

well.. just a picture of me.. what it says about me.. I don't know if anybody doesn't know already..

Well.. just another foraging expedition on the internet..

I still haven't seen my few contributions here addressed.. other than it is "too far". How, in God's name, are we to confront those who hide from the light of day.. Maybe you haven't thought about this. See.. we are not the stinking grounds, old rotten brew.. just to be cast aside while they vainly attempt to get the next batch "right". If you think YOUR life is worth so little.. go ahead, go away in peace..

This is a clip of one of the scenes, which unfortunately found itself on the cutting room floor..

I can understand their frame of thought here.. Assuming someone COULD crack open their airtight, hermetically sealed, whitewashed casket in a cornfield.. I think about the only anwers one would get would not be much different than what some of Hitler's henchmen gave- "I'm NOT responsable. I was just followin da orders.." Yep.. they've got some pretty nasty brew to chug down..

One of the best cat quotes I've heard: "Meeeeoooww". You can take the cat's word for it..

You could use distilled water.. it's pretty sterile to begin with. Shouldn't have the common bacteria in it that the article suggested about tap water.

For a little more information, look here: http://empirenet.com/~messiah7/ I think a lot of us have only seen the links to the cult stuff about der vey and momentus on his website. He's a full time pastor at this church, and appears to be involved in his community. I would agree that the cult research is a small part of his work. I've labeled a lot of ministers, and ex way as "sycophants".. I can't hang that on Juedes.
