    I can't help but wonder why vpw would choose to go with some of these doctrines.

    Like no spirit until born-again and 2nd coming and dead are dead things

    Yeh.  I agree.  Personally.. I think I had spirit from birth.  Maybe even before.. 

     

    Too much.

     

    The sixties.  We find the light.. and some of us walked away.

     

    I dunno.  Maybe we go to the light.. and try to put the light in old wine skins.. nice if enlightenment agreed with what we already thought we knew..

     

    Thanks Dear Friend for the discussion..

    Maybe Mike knows something about it, I don't know. Seems like interesting anyways. 

    Mike is really a good guy. He is one of the good guys. I hope that I am the same.  Some of you have a hard time reading him.. in my opinion.

     

    Everybody has their axioms..  can't really exist without one or more..

     

    If one assumes an axiom..  one needs more than convincing evidence to abandon it. 

     

    My axioms are simpler.. I wake up each morning and convince myself that I can still count to ten.. and sometimes even that is too much.

  3. I'm trying to figure out how to reply to rocky's post.

     

    Mathematics Destroys Brands.

     

    I always read the labels.  I don't care what the label (brand) has to say.. show me the numbers, show me some statistics..

     

    fortunately.. in the US.. the brands are .. what is the word..  forced to report at least partially honest statistics

     

  4. sadly, the internet censor here would bleep out most of my response.   "" you all.  If Paw still has the AI censor installed..

    What an interesting life here.. despite rumors, lack of rumors, promises, promises failed, I still have everything that I really need in this life. And am generally happy..

     

    Please feel free to forward the posts of the Squirrel to your mental health professional. 

    "f" you all, with the love of God.. God help me, I still can't abandon the love of God.  No way.

     

    Good Evening.. Love,  The Squirrel.

  5. I did not read very many comments here..  I see the big banners, why rejection hurts.. need connection.. disappointment of said connection.. rejection again, and again, and again.

     

    Sounds like the story of my life- at least personally.

     

    TWI seemed to attract DEEPLY damaged individuals ("nutcases", including myself).

    I lost both parents before high school graduation.  Invitation to any kind of family context or friendship is absolutely irresistible.  I have only refused the invitation

    in the few times that the promise was obviously logically ridiculous.  I've learned to ask a few critical questions.

    Yep.  I'll come.. but can you really deliver on the promise..

     

    No, they will not be family.  Even family has a poor record of really being family.

     

    I still hold out hope.. that somehow, someday, I will find real family.  If they want to believe that the Moon is made of Green Cheese.. maybe I could live with that or not argue too much about it. 

     

    Still looking for family.. pretty pathetic at 67 years old.

     

    Why don't we talk more.. spend more time.. I've learned quite a few of your languages, english, spanish, music, mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, morse code, and probably a few more..

     

    might more belong to Doctrinal- Genesis 11:6, 7 and 8.

     

  6. In 500,000 years my wealth will mean pretty much zero to any given future historian..

     

    Now this will be the same opinion.. to the married dentists who accumulated about 5 million bucks.  Even in the current scheme of things that is really small potatoes.

     

    Yep.  "they managed to make money".. along with a few million other creatures.. God only knows who or what they were.. heh

  7. My particular offshoot would spend entire weekends looking at cryptic scribblings, equations, interesting properties of numbers.

     

    Of course you will not find any of that in PFAL.  I won't say none.. there are a few numbers there..

     

    The interesting thing.. I have a lot of non PFAL grads signing up for this very thing with substantial amount of money..

     

    unfortunately I do not get much of a cut of the profits.  But then I am not exactly complaining.

     

    Money?  who frigging cares..

     

    it is so temporal.  Necessary, but temporal.

     

     

  8. Absolutely.  Unlike my fellow firesign afraid to walk into the open jaws of disaster.. 

     

    Oh, what did you want by the way?

     

    Friggin morons.. we don't go up into the hills cowards..  heh

     

    sheesh.  You only live this life once.  Only the next one can be different..

     

     

  9. Personally, things are not good here, but things are getting better.  I get larger problems to deal with day by day.

     

    The funniest thing this week.  I show up to the "job".  God, it is more than a Job.. heh

     

    Due to Craziness.  What in the Hell am I supposed to be doing this morning.. heh

     

    I ask a fellow victim:  where the hell are we.. only section 3.3?  "yep.  that's it.."  

     

    "OK"

     

    I'll do it..

     

     heh

    No real complaints here.  Things could be worse.

     

    OK.

     

    How about you? 

  10. It's a kind of Firesign Theatre thing.  I know that Mike would appreciate it.. heh.

     

    but how are you all, dear Friends?  How are you this evening.. how is life..

     

    Maybe this is a wellness check..

     

    what's up.

     

    I regard you all as friends.

    the catholic mass has been described as "being there" at that very moment of the crucifixion... time travel...     still trying to wrap my head around that one!

    I think that we all are there.. and the question presented to me.  Would I allow another human (or super-human depending upon your point of view) to endure this kind of

    punishment on my behalf to gain eternal salvation.. 

     

    I personally.. would not want my present stupidity to cause another being in this universe to experience unnecessary pain

    At least in regards to my small reality here..

     

    Just give it all to Jesus..  I don't exactly deny redemption.  I think that it is a higher state that one must live up to.

     

    How are we going to live it.. live a redemptive life.

     

    Walk in His Steps.

    The choice might require walking into the worst that is to come.

     

     

     

     

  12. Dear, dear Friend..  I lost another two this year.  My older brother, and an "adopted" brother from my x's side of the family.  I will attend his memorial, I am invited in November.

     

    My brother brought me home in his last wishes.

     

    I really can't ask for anything better here.

     

     

  13. Dear Friend Skyrider, I only wish that I had the pleasure of your company in this life.  That is my only regret.

     

    I will turn the same regret to those living here as well.  I wish that I knew you better than that I do.
