It's just an old country saying. VPP used it to promote his "aw shucks" country boy image.

Oh, he may have slapped a label on it that said "Apple Butter", but, the whole thing was really just a jar of sour pickles.

"What? I mean, pardon? I thought there were no commas." There weren't, but, in PFAL, Wierwille inserted commas to demonstrate private interpretation while, at the same time, promoting his own. (We ceased, saying, "the will of the Lord be done." vs. We ceased saying "the will of the Lord be done.") --------------------------- ------------------------------------- I guess Reuben must have gotten the finest hog farm money could buy.

Well, of course it does. "Change one little comma and the whole Bible would fall to pieces."

Someone with a Way history being pedantic? Who'da thunk? :biglaugh:

Posted 24 June 2010 - 09:09 PM Ahhhhh----The horn of plenty story. I've told it before but I'll tell it again for the newer posters. In the early days of The Way, they used to use standard collection plates like every other church. One evening, they were having a meeting at a funeral home or some similar type of facility. When the time drew near to taking up the collection, it was discovered the plates had been left behind at some other place. "Uncle Harry" (he wasn't MY uncle!) looked around and spotted some floral arrangements in cornucopias. (Or would that be cornucopii?) Anyhow, he took the flowers out and used the horns in lieu of the collection plates. And that's how it got started, according to VP Wierwille.

I have posted on the origin of the horn of plenty. I'm not very good at doing searches, though.

Maybe he was really saying, "We WANT your change," (and folding money,too)

At which the bartender, a fellow named Atlas, simply shrugged.

Goodbye to you my trusted friend, we've known each other since we were nine or ten.

My wife calls it "Lifetime For Losers" 'cause the lead character always seams to be on the losing end of things.

The man was a demagogue. He created problems for the sole purpose of taking credit for fixing them. Here's an example. He gives rise to this "change" idea in PLAF (The Wonder Class). It's here that he tells us about how The Way changed its stance on the issue of how many days transpired between the resurrection and the ascension. Did you even know it was a "problem" before he told you it was? How do we really know that he ascribed to the first position to begin with? What purpose does it serve other than to say, "Look at me! I solved your problem." I remember hiking through the woods with a bunch of the guys from the neighborhood. when I was a kid. Invariably, if you ventured near a cliff's edge, one of the guys would quickly grab your collar, give you a slight nudge forward and then forcefully pull you back. At that point he would exclaim, "I saved your life!"

I'm pretty sure he hated leisure suits.

Ya never know. Maybe they have beans while they're sitting around that campfire in Smith County sharing what blessed them that day. Kumbaya M'Lord------Kumbaya

Heany Peany, chili beany----The spirits are about to speak. Are they friendly spirits?

Free or not, it appears that at least one of them got gas.

You could always email one of the sons in Mississippi and ask him. He's currently trying to resurrect "The Way Corps Principles" with a new venture called S.O.W.E.R.S.
