Uncle Harry was the one who was so opposed to life insurance. Anything that took money away from the ministry was viewed as evil, be it a food pantry to feed the poor, a charity to help crime victims or the purchase of life insurance. I remember dr. w going into one of his pseudo tyraids at an SNS or someplace about how life insurance was "off the word" because our survivors "ought to be able to believe God to supply their needs". Naturally he used several scriptures to "prove" he was right. Funerals and burials are expensive. How could it possibly be wrong to have some sort of plan in place to defray the cost to your survivors?

I don't know the answer, Phil. The best I can do is offer my opinion on Wierwille. In retrospect, I don't really think he honestly believed what he expounded. The progression of his success is too calculated, progressive and intentionally deceptive to have been spontaneous. On the other hand, I don't think he foresaw how quickly or how large his scheme would grow. Once he saw he was onto something, though, he seized the opportunity with fervor. If he did believe his own words, it was certainly not evident in his own lifestyle. Biblically speaking, you tend to speak what is in your heart and out of that heart comes the life you manifest. There was an obvious incongruity in this area with Wierwille. I also think he was quite mentally ill, which may be a separate issue or be inextricably intertwined into the mix.

Think of it as a marketing campaign with a carefully targeted customer base.

Are you good with basic hand tools?(ie: wire strippers, pliers, etc.) Just kidding!

Well, I know he had to decide whether to be Bumpy or Grumpy. (Sorta reminds me of the old Firesign Theatre bit--"How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?") Anyway, I'm thinking maybe something got inadvertently messed up in the process?

OK, I read the "differences" schpiel. So, if there is that much difference between the two, why would they hold Vic's mumbo jumbo in such high esteem and assume he would be proud of them? In fact, why would they revere any of his work, knowing what they now know about the abundance of errors? BTW--- When you read in The Bible about "holding fast to that which is good", I'm fairly certain it's not specifically referring to sifting through Way doctrinal nonsense in an effort to find "that which is good".

Translation I'm still drinking the kool-aid and and it's tastier than ever. Won't you come join me in a sip?

OOPS! Sorry Got the sequence messed up somehow.

Freebie!!!

The "lockbox" was taught in Christian Sex And More Sex as early as 1973 or 1974. He said you should not reveal all the details of your past sexual history to your spouse after you marry. He specifically referred to this as a "lockbox" (sic) Sounds like more "grooming" to me. <_<

Here ya go, JJ.

It ain't music 'til somebody plays it.

Check out these 3 kids from Tupelo (9, 13 and 15 years old) They call themselves Homemade Jamz I hauled all my equipment out to the curb after I saw this!

Hiya, kimberly Are you familiar with the expression "pushing someone's buttons"? That's what trolls do. Either to get a predictable response and stir the pot or to get a piece of information they are lacking. Get the picture? By the way, is your husband older or younger than you?

It's like Pavlov's dogs. You get so used to a predictable response to it, you find yourself doing the same thing in non-Way circumstances. (Especially at work) Unless, of course, you learn to recognize it and exercise some concentrated control over your response.

Is this it?I haven't watched it yet. I just grabbed it and posted.Dot--- Down at post options where it says HTML off, you have to change that to HTML on before you submit your post.
