Roll out those------Lazy, Hazy,Crazy Days of Summer

There is a place in the PFAL class where Wierwille tells the students to put aside all secular materials for a month or six weeks or something and read only the Bible. I don't recall which session it is. Re; pages 119 and 120. This is where Wierwille claims he hauled over 3,000 theological works to the dump and then read nothing but "The Word". Yeah, he took them to the dump, alright. All except the ones that he later "cut and pasted" into his own "works", line by line and word for word. He finishes page 120 but saying this: "--the only way you are going to stand approved before God is to study and rightly divide The Word." That is a completely disgraceful misinterpretation, misrepresentation and misapplication of II Timothy 2:15.

"It is perhaps a missunderstanding on my part but wasn't David and his life and beliefs and actions in alignment with God Until he took Bathsheba as his concubine and had her husband murdered and then he was out of favor until he repented. (after the death of his son)" ---------------------------------------------------- I believe that is the essence of the record. David was in God's favor BEFORE the Bathsheba incident. However, Wierwille had us believing David was "a man after God's own heart" IN SPITE OF the incident. By juxtapositioning the chronology, Wierwille completely changed the message to serve his own agenda.

Your ABS at work.

Yup

Chronology is of the essence.

Ground control to Major Tom

That's Life!

Here you go, Dot. (Embedding has been disabled on this one.)

I suppose you could say either one qualifies. The official title says "reach out of" but, the lyric is "reach out in". HERE

Well, I guess that's the point, isn't it?--- that you "remember" it from just one line. I'll wait a bit longer for the title.

A little Easter music. Hit it, maestro!

Everyone is welcome here, Composer, so long as they follow the basic rules. You know, stuff like "no name calling", "no personal attacks", etc. We have people here with a wide variety of spiritual convictions, including those with none. Cheers back at you

I'm sorry to have to post this link.

I think it's so groovy now that people are finally gettin' together.

Bohemian Rhapsody

We weren't allowed to have pets in Fellow Laborers, either. So, to satisfy the emptiness, people started buying cactus and jade plants to keep on their window sills. Have you ever tried to walk one of those suckers on a leash?

Very profound. I had never thought of it quite that way before. Being strong, in The Way, was seen as a weakness.

Hah! Glad I wasn't the only one who got stumped. Just for fun, here is the "V.D.O".

OOPS! I thought you were talking about THIS kind of "dope". "Thou art a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-liver’d, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mungril bitch." Kent, King Lear (2.2.15-23) edit: That's Shakespeare's version of "--------and the horse you rode in on." (Not you, Ham, just a generic portrayal of a "dope"."

Perzactly my point!

My "kid" is an only child and a latchkey kid, to boot. He has, out of necessity, done his own laundry since he was old enough to understand the mechanics of the process. (9 or 10?) Talk about picky. Gotta use the right detergent with the right temperature with similar fabrics/colors/fabric weights, etc. Everything must be folded or hung properly. I think I was 40 before I ever reached the level of proficiency he takes for granted.

You know, this whole discussion makes me think about the controversy that erupts, from time to time, regarding the works of William Shakespeare. (Stick with me; there is a parallel.) For the past 200 years or so, people have debated whether one man was capable of being the author of the many works we attribute to The Bard. Are they the works of one man or a conglomeration of the works of many? That's the essence of the ongoing debate, complete with references, citations and irrefutable proof from both camps. Does any of that matter when Puck frolics about the stage, in Midsummer Night's Dream, practicing his trickery and mischief? Does any of that matter when, in The Tragedy of Hamlet, the observer is faced with real life questions about insanity, incest and corruption? One man wrote it all or a hundred men put their pens to paper. No matter. "The play's the thing."

While I don't necessarily disagree with what you said, I think it's important to understand that lots of bullying is of a non-physical variety. I think anyone who spent much time in TWI understands that concept. So, most of bullying that went on in TWI was not a good candidate for physical retaliation. I think, perhaps, the type of bullying that happened in this situation is probably more along those lines. edit: "Sure, you're free to leave TWI whenever you want, if you don't like your work assignment. Just don't forget that the devil is waiting for you at the next freeway exit. You'll probably be a greasespot on the highway before the sun comes up."
