OK...This is kind of obscure, but when the guys I hung out with first heard this song, this line became sort of a catch phrase. So, I'm hoping someone else had the same reaction to this line, which is spoken as an aside, and recognizes it, as well. "Elmore James got nothin' on this, baby!"

Paul was not a goy. And, Peter was not a gefilte fisherman.

Oops. Wrong thread...Heh!

Whatever happened to "A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."?

John, this isn't even remotely similar to what's being discussed. I have a hard time believing such a simple concept is this difficult for you to comprehend. I'm inclined to think you are purposely being obtuse so that "the ministry be not blamed".

Damn straight, Ham! Oops. Wanna fight?

I don't know, but after a long, hot day in this scorching Midwest heat, it's gonna feel heavenly to me to hit the pillow. Anyhow----ancient?....Wierwille was referring to people who lived in Biblical times and cultures, if that helps define "ancient".

Do you have any references for these claims or do you just make this stuff up "on the fly"?

BWA HA HA HA HA!

I've got a feeling my neighbors won't either.

Why does this remind me of something my mother used to say about jumping off of a bridge?

I don't think either of those two are currently being used very much.

You really just don't "get it", do you, John? Sad.....Very sad.

Soul searcher This is one of the foundational scriptures Wierwille used in his book Are The Dead Alive Now?, which is sometimes referred to here as ADAN. Wierwille, as you may have already guessed, is not really the author of this "book". It's actually a cobbling together of two shorter works by one of the authors from whom VPW was fond of borrowing. There is lots more on GSC regarding that aspect if it interests you. Anyhow, it's a subject that has been called "soul sleep" by many people outside of The Way. Within The Way, it gave a whole array of special significance to speaking in tongues. For instance, someone's death may be commented on as such: "He's fallen asleep but we'll meet again at the gathering together. I'm sure of this because I heard him speak in tongues" Here is an excerpt from page 23/24 of ADAN. Because there is no consciousness in death, there is no awareness of time for the dead person. Thus, the moment of a man's death becomes, in a sense of time for him, the moment of the return of Christ. But, within the dimension of time, the moment of a man's death is neither his gathering together unto Christ nor his resurrection. In a sense of time he does not go immediately to Heaven, but descends into gravedom, sheol. The book, itself, is poorly written and does not represent any kind of legitimate research. But, there it is if you feel like it is something you want to look at.

Personally, I think you have to do a "hard boot". I look around on facebook and such places and see people who haven't changed one single thing about the way they think or act in the last 35-40 years except that they don't go to Twig anymore...or, at least, not a TWI Twig.

They seek him here, they seek him there. His clothes are loud but never square.

What was always at stake was the possibility that someone might discover Wierwille's version of what comprised "the word" was fraudulent.
