Here's one from the All Aboard! album (1976) side 2/ cut 1 "Do The Best You Can" ************************************************ Emil had just recently discovered that God's Word is God's will. He believed The Word about salvation, With power he was filled. His life was full of love, joy, peace, Yes, he'd been saved by grace. But he had an opportunity, A malignant growth, a sore upon his face. Emil had been reading in The Word How in old, elders anointing with oil And he knew some of that oil Would heal his cancerous boil. He went down to the drugstore And he said to the clerk, "I want to buy some oil to get a job done. I know it'll work." "What kind of oil do you require? 3-in-1, olive, camphor, flax or is it castor you desire?" Emil replied, " I don't guess it matters what brand or kind." "Just give me some of that castor oil kind." Emil went straight home, The bottle of castor oil he uncapped, Stood before the mirror, Rubbed the castor oil on his face with a gentle pat. "Lord", he said, "I'm doing the best I can." "If you'll do your best, I know that I'll be healed." I 'spose you're wondering what happened to Emil And that cancer sore. Emil's doing right nicely And he doesn't have cancer anymore. Emil learned something A lot of us seem to forget. Believe God, do the best you can And God will do the rest *************************************** (Grammatical errors intentionally left uncorrected.) Wierwille uses this clever little ditty to "teach" that you can use the "law of believing" to heal cancer. Mighty dangerous doctrine to promote. (And some people still think this stuff is harmless.)

Works for me!

'nother case of "My dog's bigger than yours."

Something he actually got right. In CF&S, he stated that the carrying angle of the female forearm is more pronounced than that of the male forearm. He stated this was presumably to facilitate cradling a baby. Presumption aside, this is anatomically correct.

Speaking only for myself. I'm not sure I ever felt like I had a "calling". If I did, maybe it was to be myself and not the person some organization (religious or otherwise) would like me to be. I'm still working on that.

Is it just me or does anyone else see the irony of this thing being named "Hiney" flu? (H1N1)

OK----This is off topic but we all need a good laugh now and then, no? You know those bumper stickers that say " My other car is a Mercedes" (or Harley or Lexis or whatever)? I was in Cleveland a few years ago and pulled up behind an old rusted out Chevy. The bumper sticker said, "My other car is a piece of crap, too." We now return you to your regular programming.

Yeah, that's what I sought, too.

Here's another good one: SIT can replace the need for sleep. (That one is actually in PFAL ----- listen closely to session #11.)

How about this one: Dreams are caused by devil spirits who have either gotten through the trap door or are trying to.

Baby, I never thought so much love Could fit in a little band of gold But I'm telling you, darling I feel it in my heart, got it in my soul

Sorry. Didn't mean to turn this thread into a political pizzing match. I posted the pic. for the "Turd Polish" label not the political statement. Here's a more neutral one.

Flammable/exploding snow: Two points to consider 1.Though it was not a subject well known to the average man, it was certainly not hidden from the ages nor was it only revealed to Wierwille as "God gave it to him". 2.Wierwille said he that if he ever revealed it, the World would be thrown into "chaos". Obviously, his assessment was erroneous. Here is a link showing that scientists were partially aware of this subject as far back as the early 1800's. http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/oil-gas/FutureSupply/MethaneHydrates/about-hydrates/hydrateResearch.htm

BUMP!

Boy, how this one resonates with me. I left my hometown, at the "request" of the Limb Leader, to serve TWI. That assignment was followed by time in a training program which was followed by yet another assignment, etc.. I regret that decision greatly. All those graduations, births, deaths, birthdays, family reunions, and various other milestones of life went on without me and I can never get them back. "You (don't) know you are in a screwed up cult when you"---------are oblivious to how your future is being permanently and irreparably altered.

I was working in my lab, late one night-----

This is from the "Timeline Letter". "P.s. I think your criticism of my teaching was pretty silly, and you missed the entire point of my teaching. I may have confessed I was not a "teacher" but that doesn't mean I don't have an Ephesians ministry" An Ephesians Ministry????? How much weirder can this stuff get?

I don't know if he had more than one Twig Hopper but he definitely had multiple motorcycles. (and classic cars.)
