Well, I thought I'd better ask because "the integrity of the herd is always at steak".

I have a cassette tape around here, someplace, called "Thank You, Dorothy/Thank You, Rhoda". I haven't listened to it in so long, I'm not even sure if I still have a machine that will play it.

What the he!! does that even mean? (in plain English) Geeze! I hope the definition doesn't include the operation of "the law of believing".

Yeah, he was a big heel----eerrrrr.

That's an impolite way of saying, "shut up". edit: (I hope that didn't sound too bitter.)

It's an insult----plain and simple. (I hope that didn't sound too bitter.)

It was taught by D@nn^ R^nd^ll, VP's personal secretary. I took it live. I have nothing against this poor lady, but, it seemed like she'd been roped into a "den mother assignment" that she dreaded like the plague. I have the syllabus in front of me. PART III CONNECTIVES (Little Words With Big Jobs) Eight pages to study the nuances of words like if, and, but, or, because, for, since, only, therefore, wherefore, likewise........ Sure those words are important. But, couldn't I have just as well learned about them in an English Lit. class instead of wasting my life in some two bit Bible scam? PART II REFERENCE BOOKS E.W. BULLINGER How To Enjoy The Bible "Buy the book---Read only what you've been taught in this class----it gets 'off The Word'." (I hope that didn't sound too bitter.)

Ya know, it's hard to not laugh at a site that can't even spell "debunking" correctly. The Dubunking of Victor Paul Wierwille --Under Construction-- SOURCE (I hope that didn't sound too bitter.)

We were salesmen (and ladies), working without commission, even paying for the privilege of hawking Wierwille's Super Elixir. What did we lead people to? We lead them to a pyramid scheme that duped them into joining our ranks. And so the monster grew and multiplied. (I hope that doesn't sound too bitter.)

Nothing---and I mean nothing ----could ever come close to the boredom elicited by "Basic Keys To Research". Think about how ironic that is in light of The Way promoting itself, in part, as a "research" ministry.

I've searched for him, too. I've come up empty handed. I think he and Snowball Pete might have been off preaching to the trees when the census was being taken. edit: I hope that didn't sound too bitter.

Maybe he meant Oxford, Ohio. http://www.miami.muohio.edu/ Not a bad school. Certainly not what one would think of at the mention of Oxford, though. (Fantastic school for hockey and synchronized skating)

I agree. I was really laughing at myself, for the most part, because people who knew me during my TWI years would probably tell you that it was my LACK of buttkissing skills that got me in the most trouble.

Well, let's see. 1. Not angry 2. Not bitter 3. Definitely not a "buttkisser" Nope. Shoe doesn't fit. Oh, by the way, VP wasn't really a "Dr.", but he played one on stage.

In light of the subject at hand, would "first" be an appropriate descriptor?

Well, there's "physical" polygamy and then there's "spiritual" polygamy, dontcha know? Haha!---Just playing off of Wierwille's old rationalization that adultery in the Bible is supposedly "spiritual" adultery. He taught it. Then he thumbed his nose at it in defiance. He was about as spiritually tuned in as my old crystal radio. My link

Only thing i can figure is there must have been some kind of MOG shortage at the time. Or maybe he just "embellished " his resume to get the job.

B.B. King for president (He could teach us all a thing or two about perseverance.)

My point was that he was a polygamist by his own definition, which I outlined in the original post

Wierwille said the words were changed to reflect predestination.(ie: we are His masterpiece, before the foundations of the world, etc.) It gave him a personal out from ever having to say he had been a wretch.

I'm not sure----but wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?
