    Here's a fun little riddle: If you record yourself speaking in tongues and play the tape backwards, your word order will be reversed, but if you turn the tape upside down, it will still sound like nonsense. Why is that?

    Oh, it starts that way, but trust me, it won't be long before it becomes the bottom out departure

    Oh, my gosh, yes! Then again, it might be that bowl of chili I had for lunch.

    Moses, Samuel, David, Elijah, Elisha, Shemaiah, Igdaliah Oops, it appears Vic was absent the day the list came out.

    Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel like, if I was going to study the collaterals for 20 years, I'd probably start with that camera thingy so I could get to the point a little quicker.

    Did they solve the riddle? Oh, what am I saying? Of course they didn't. They had no one to teach them the solution.

    Were there refreshments? Curious minds need to know.

    I don't want to and you can't make me.

    There are languages that follow the SOV (subject, object, verb) format, rather than the SVO format that most of us are used to. That's part of what makes translating ancient texts a daunting task.

    It's the same whether it's straight or flipped.

    Shame on you for not letting them know how futile their efforts were, in light of not being able to "go beyond what you're taught".

    So, who taught them it would be a good idea to put them together?
  13. waysider
    Chef Boyardee, of course.
  14. waysider
    Who taught them to do that?

    Stop and think for a moment how utterly ludicrous that is. Without the infusion of fresh ideas, totally disconnected to any previously existing ideas, mans' cache of knowledge would have stagnated at the discover of fire..

    "You can't go beyond what you've been taught."- vpw So, where do new ideas come from?

    I haven't read the article yet, though I plan to when I get some time later today. Any discussion of it would probably need to tread lightly, to avoid crashing through the thin ice that lurks menacingly above political discourse.

    On the topic of "Big Jobs": Wasn't it stated, somewhere in one of the classes, that you can't receive revelation when you're out of fellowship? I guess there must be an exceptions clause that covers "Big Jobs".

    Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a hard headed man named Paul...

    Only two? That seems a bit restrictive.

    You have evidence of this?

    Wierwille's personal doctrine was "Anything is okay if you can find a way to personally rationalize it." In contrast, consider, if you will, the words of John Donne: “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

    You might ask yourself, "How did I get here?"

    Every little breeze seems to whisper Louise but the wind cries Mary. Meanwhile, all the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go "Yea, my children." Now, be honest. Does that or does that not edify and exhort?

    Have you ever seen someone get called out for BS and then try to cover their tracks by saying they were only joking? Why does this remind me of that?
