I remember Heart. It was more like a newspaper format than a magazine. There were few copies amongst the dozens of old way Magazines I trashed a couple years ago. I think there were some special edition Rock of Ages magazines, as well. If I remember correctly, the focus of Heart was supposed to be anecdotal remembrances of "deliverance". (as a result of taking PLAF [The Wonder Class] and standing with the ministry.) I don't think it lasted very long. (Kinda like the thread I started a couple years ago called "It Happened To Me", in which people recalled instances of using the "law" of believing to reap tangible results.)

The Way is not dead. It has simply changed its name and relocated. HERE "Any volunteer may be dismissed at any time and/or program cancelled at sole discretion of those charged with oversight." Sound familiar?

I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

My old girlfriend, Flo, used to really get a charge out of that stuff.

Does this mean they'll take an axe murderer as long as they're not a trainee?

Yeah. All those years of hearing "We sure do love you" and then when I left---- nobody even noticed. Never heard from them again. Not that I really want to. You understand, I'm sure. edit: very cool post, excie!!

BUMP

Well, once again, Mr. Squirrel, you've cut to the chase. (Albeit, it was via a twisting path.) You are correct, in my opinion, when you point out their advise wasn't really designed to help the individual at all. It was designed to make sure you gave your extra money to The Way. who needs a stinking 1.20 to toss in the horn of plenty, when one can purchase the secrets of the universe.. in broad daylight..

(shouldn't have bought those moonpies...). One can never have too many MoonPies!

Did someone say saxophones?

Oh, heavens no! Except that, without an internet back then, he probably never dreamed that anyone would catch on to his con.

Bunch of money grubbing bastages. I hope they're happy, as they sit there in Cornfield, USA, counting their 54 million dollars worth of golden eggs that all we silly gooses laid for them.

In the early days of the PFAL class, the "law" of believing, was called the "magic" of believing. (The original collateral was even titled that way.) That's because it's not (and never was) a "law". It's fantasy. You can't change physical realities with the power of thought. Try to levitate a table sometime with your mind. Good luck. Wierwille hitched his wagon to the new age thinking that was prevalent at the time and slapped a few Bible verses on the cover to give it an air of holiness. Consider, if you will, Norman Vincent Peale and his "Power of Positive Thinking". It's mumbo jumbo. I personally know of people who literally died trying to prove that the "law" of believing works. Read the L.E.A.D thread sometime to get an idea of how, needlessly, people suffered because they bought into this nonsense. Where we differ from the new phenomenon of The Secret is that we combined this stuff with glossolalia, or speaking in tongues, if you prefer, which reduces one's abilty to question and exercise critical thinking skills.

Oh, my word! Can you imagine him ever having a firm enough grasp on Greek to be able to quote an entire chapter??? Even if it was only a portion of the chapter, I find it incredulous. The man was clearly either delusional or a pathological liar.

No. It was the pride of Springfield, Ohio, himself, Robert Higginbotham, better known as Tommy Tucker. and here is his daughter-----CLICK Free Post!!

Think kindly when you think of me And please try to understand You know, life is just a mystery And nothin' ever goes like you planned I would tell you I would never leave If I didn't have to go Think kindly when you think of me And you should never feel alone 'Cause when it's rainin' Ain't nothin' but love rainin' down And when the sun shines Ain't nothin' but love shinin' all around And when the wind blows I'll be talkin' to you Sayin' that I loved you always And I know that you loved me too "Remember Me"------Paul Delay

I'm workin' on it!

Hey, there, So_crates. Welcome to our little cyber greasy spoon.

Nope.

Here's a clue. The person who wrote it is the same person who originally had a hit with it. "Over 200 artists have recorded "Hi-Heel Sneakers". These include Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Sammy Davis Jr., Janis Joplin, Jose Feliciano, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Tom Jones, John Lee Hooker, Cleo Laine, Pharoah Sanders, Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead and Ramsey Lewis. There are many videos on youtube.com with performances by The Searchers on Shindig!, Zsa Zsa Gabor, The Mummies, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Faces, Sting and many more." (I can't give a citation for that quote because the rest of it contains the answer.)

Didn't he once say that, at an incident which occurred before he was led into tongues, he fooled those present by reciting Greek? And, so, now we have him saying he didn't know Greek. Can't be both. What I think probably happened was he may have known a few Greek or Greek-like sounding words and used that as sort of a "foundation" for his glossolalia. Either that or he made the whole incident up. There may be other possibilities but I can't think of any. Beep Beep Beep----Boop Boop Boop----Isn't that wonderful?

High Heel Sneakers recorded by The Stones Jeff Beck Stevie Wonder Elvis Presley Jerry Lee Lewis etc., etc., etc.
