I remember once in chat, someone asked me if I was a moderator. I split a gut laughing because it was only a day or two after I had finally "mastered" the art of youtube posting. Me, a moderator?? :biglaugh:

Ten Years Ago

I think a lot of the material he borrowed from had occult "DNA", so to speak. But, I don't think he set out to intentionally base his work on the occult. It's just coincidental that the similarities exist----in my opinion.

Oh, but of course!

That's just it, Ham. All that muss and fuss about how "We sure do love you". Then when I drifted away, nobody even seemed to notice I was gone. A couple people briefly tried to persuade me to join a splinter, but, other than that------nuttin'

Why don't you take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while?

What am I gonna do with all those pancakes on Sunday mornings?

Well, I guess Victoria's secret is out.

Yeah, "delays". Like Moses when God tried to talk to him via the burning bush. Moses said, "Hold on, Daddy-O, I gotta take a crash course on landscaping." So while Moses was finishing his mid-terms, God added 2 more commandments to the original ten. Moses never even noticed so they were lost. One of them had something to do with midgets and bar-stools but we'll never know exactly what.

somehow, at the turn of the moment, I would (coincidentally?) be at the right time, at the right place.. You mean like THIS?

My guess is that he saw nothing at all when he looked in the mirror.

We sang this hymn frequently: How Great Thou Art –---Carl Gustaf Boberg as translated by Stuart H. Hine (a paraphrasing of Psalm 8) O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! How many times did we ever stop to think about how shallow and confining this makes "The Great Principle" seem to be? Here we see a man who can "hear" from God by merely observing His handiwork. No pyramids of manifestations to build, no mandatory, daily rituals to be observed. Like a child who opens his eyes wide to the world about him and takes it all in without a thought of putting it into words.

Here is something from the PFAL book. Pgs.229 & 230 "Before we move into the depth of the new birth, we must realize some fundamental terms. When I speak of the "natural man", I speak of the man of body and soul, the man who is not born again of God's Spirit.This is the accurate Biblical usage of natural man. The five senses are the only avenues of learning that the natural man has to gain knowledge. Everything that ever comes to a natural man's mind must come by one or a combination of these five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching." (bold font added by poster)

It's in all three classes, in one form or another, but, it's given special attention in the Advanced Class. In fact, on page 10, which is titled Keys To Walking In The Spirit, key #3 is "Speaking in tongues daily is prerequisite to revelation." Why? Because it attempts to give credence to page #15 of the Interpretation of Tongues and Prophesy Class, which depicts a pyramid structure of the 9 "manifestations" with "Kinds of Tongues" being depicted as the foundation upon which the rest of it is built. In other words, no SIT = no WOK, WOW or DOS. And, from page 252 of Receiving The Holy Spirit Today. Question #6 Is it possible for one to receive the gift from the Holy Spirit into manifestation without speaking in a tongue? Answer No, it is not. Now, remember, the revelation "manifestations" would be considered to be an example of "receiving the gift from the Holy Spirit into manifestation". Do the math. BTW----This whole Question and Answer section was plagiarized, by Wierwille, from another source. Yes, this is provable and has been documented on GSC. This might explain why he refers to "speaking in tongues" as "speaking in a tongue" Even though the question was supposedly posed by another person, it could easily have been rephrased to give it a sense of congruence with the author's literary voice.... but it wasn't.

slim just walked out the door!

Simple. It opens the door for all the "counterfeit" analogy nonsense.

Wierwille made his position on this subject very clear, beginning with his lesson on the three-fold man (body/soul/spirit) in PFAL. According to Wierwille, the only avenues of direct communication with God, today, are a.) holy spirit (the gift)/Christ IN you b.) holy spirit being placed ON someone, on a conditional basis. This was his explanations for events in the O.T. His stance was that the "natural" man could not commune with God unless he fell into category b.). He used, among other scriptures, a section of Romans to substantiate this. Furthermore, he stated that one's "fellowship" state was directly reliant on speaking in tongues and that God could not "talk" to you unless you are in fellowship. (This can be found on pg.10 of the A.C. syllabus) The exception to this, he said, was that if you were out of fellowship and God needed to talk with you, He would temporarily put spirit ON you. So, in my mind, at least, it becomes apparent that Wierwille did not equate "the spirit of man" with anything other than breath-life. ("It's that which makes you 'you'".----PFAL). Having said that, I wish to state that I have no desire to debate the veracity of the above stated concept. My only interest in highlighting this is to make it clear that Wierwille did, indeed, state (in a variety of ways) that he considered non-Christians to be "empties floating by" on life's big river, devoid of any communication enabling connection to God.
