Except, ya know, he didn't really "write" PFAL. He simply plagiarized works that were already written and pawned them off as his own. Even you have conceded he "compiled" existing works.

You sound more and more like Professor Irwin Corey with each response you post.

If you will recall, I offered you, personally, an opportunity to cite examples of how the "God Breathed" PFAL has benefited your life. As of this moment, you have not responded. May I propose that I confine my activities in the Doctrinal Forum? It's not a doctrinal matter. You have proposed the idea that PFAL is God Breathed. That's not a doctrine, it's an opinion. Thus far, you have done absolutely nothing to logically argue that point without circuitous reasoning. You just keep insisting people must believe it because you say so. Edit: My dad was fond of saying "Poop or get off the potty chair."

"the Pure Evil model of VPW that has become the central element of Greasespot Correctness." You have grossly and intentionally misrepresented the purpose of this site. An apology might be in order. "With the plagiarism charge, everything in PFAL is described as coming from good, holy, respected teachers. But then I bring out some of the PFAL material here and those same ideas suddenly become tainted by the Pure Evil model." Once again, you fail to grasp the gravity of plagiarism. Furthermore, no one has offered the premise you erroneously attribute to GSC posters in the above statement. You are free to offer any opinion of your own as long as you attribute it to yourself. Please stop misrepresenting the opinions of other posters.

HERE is Tic, working at his part time job as Wierwille's valet.

Quick question, Mike. Forgive me if it seems off-topic. What tangible benefits have you gleaned from PFAL?

I'm going to write a book about it. I think I'll call it The daVeePee Code

Wait! Here's another Sledgehammer.

Suppose I told you that in session #3 I saw VPW scratch the right side of his nose 3 times in the first 3 minutes. Right side (side of blessing), 3 times 3 times 3 (completely complete) Bingo! Praise God! It's revelation! (Or maybe it's a sledgehammer. The choice is yours.)

Absolute nonsense. Wierwille being "totally into" something doesn't prove anything.There're not sledgehammer statements. What the heck is a sledgehammer statement anyway?

How in the world did you ever conclude that these phrases are divinely inspired? I don't care how long and intently you squint, there is nothing there to suggest what you are implying. It's your OPINION. Okay, we all have opinions.Just say it's your opinion. Problem solved. If you want to say your opinion is TRUE, however, you have to provide some sort of evidence , not some cyclical exercise in reasoning.

You're quite welcome. I probably should have posted THIS one instead. Heh!

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round...

Let's dance!

Please do.

Mike, it might help your cause if you stopped labeling your case as a manifesto. That's simply self-serving glorification. Perhaps in a semantic sense it is a manifesto. We don't really know because we haven't seen it. Maybe if you just said "Here's what I believe." and then (This is the important part.) provide some reasons why, people would be a bit more receptive.

The "pure evil model" is an invention of Mike. Its purpose is to generate an "us against them" scenario. Lots and lots of people have come to GSC and acknowledged that, along with the bad, they also had some good experiences and met some genuinely good people. I am one of them.None of that excuses or justifies the other side of the story. edit: spelling

Don't worry. He'll never post it. That would open the floor to honest debate.

Examples, please. One or two would be just fine.

Add a word, subtract a word....hahahahahahahaha!

On the contrary, Mike. I'm from Ohio (like Wierwille) and have used this idiom my whole life. In Ohio, we add "necessarily" to introduce an element of vagueness. Its meaning is quite different than what you think it is. Its something along the lines of "maybe yes, maybe no" or "Maybe. Maybe not." I'll rephrase that passage using non-Ohio vernacular. "Is all that Wierwile writes God breathed? Maybe yes, maybe no."

We'll never know what went through his mind or what his real intentions were. Personally, though, I tend to believe he was a bit like Harold Hill in The Music Man.

'68 Opel Kadett. Had only 3,000 miles on it. I paid $1,400 cash. I put a Mini-8 (8 track tape deck) in the glove box and added some speakers. THIS is the kind of stuff I listened to, cruising around empty city streets, late at night.

PLAF negates itself quite nicely without any divine intervention.

But it's anecdotal evidence...Who can possibly argue with that? /s
