Larry N Moore

Paw, I can understand (somewhat) your reasonings for previewing my posts before allowing them to be submitted but I can't understand what you're afraid of in regards to being able to PM a member of Greasespot. If you're trying to get me to take a hike it's an effective means to an end but, I'm not sure why you just don't do the honest thing and ban me. Of course it might be a bit difficult why you would choose to ban me and not someone else who is guilty of being "mean" to fellow posters.

I suggest that it is impossible to assissinate something that is already dead.

Odd thing to say when you consider most of the threads on GS are aimed to do exactly that -- assassinate someone (VP) or something (TWI) that is either dead beyond doubt or dead in the sense of being a shell of its former days.

Larry, are you back?

:) Depends. It's somewhat irksome to have my post pre-modded. Takes all the fun out of participating in such humorous threads. ;)

Now if you would please excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.

Perhaps, Dmiller would be a sweet-heart and send you some more toilet paper? ;)

This is just a test of the ability to post. Had this been an actual "emergency" the powers that be would not have permitted this post (at least not until they reviewed it ;)). :)

I bid you ALL adieu! :)

I let my kids read and watch Harry Potter stuff. I figure my generation survived "Bewitched".

quote: Do you remember the book "Angels of Light"? I think it was the book that detailed what devil spirit was involved in the behavior of people. Interesting book but, anyone reading it could quite easily forget that it takes the manifestation of discerning of spirits to determine the presence or non-presence of spirits and if present the identity of the spirit. It became a case where people were analyzing behavior and via sense knowledge determining the type of spirit. I suppose with such knowledge none of us really needed the manifestation of discerning of spirits. Some people couldn't handle reading that book because they started looking at themselves and wonder if they were possessed. Like I said -- interesting book -- but devoid of authority. If we can use a book's info to determine what devil spirit is present in an individual then why would God give us the ability to operate the manifestation of discerning of spirits?

BINGO!!! In 1990 during corps week LCM sAid that Chris Geer had spirits of necromancy and spirits of lying...BECAUSE only a 5 star general would DARE say that "this BOT murdered VP in front of the whole corps". Just like you said: no discerning of spirits, just a 5 senses evaluation of what was said. VP spoke of senses faith. I guess LCM practiced 5 senses discerning of spirits.

Speaking of fairies, that cartoon called "Fairly odd parents" on Nickelodeon has a teacher in Timmy's school who is obsessed about fairies. Every time he says the word 'fairies' he spazzes out.

Yeah, it's no wonder so many people didn't need God working in their life, via the manifestations. If LCM said it it had to be true because God told him so. But no one bothered to ask God if it was true.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21(Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Larry's right, it's legalism to insist that something is wrong when scripture doesn't.

Thank you, johniam. I'm pleased that I'm not the only one who sees that.

Now -- be prepared for the gnashing of the teeth. :)

Oh and btw -- I had forgotten about that passage in Acts. Good one.

asked, or required it. kinda fits that description..

internet forums.. it's a little different.

We wear our little masks.. the wise sage, the lady of the south.. the dumb a** squirrel..

but it does allow a level of intimacy that can't be duplicated in the real world..

I wear my character here well, I think..

You're cool in my book. Sometimes you just have to do a little more searching through the trees to find the juicy nuts. ;)

But personally.. I wouldn't let go.. unless the other demanded, asked, or required it..

Ok. But are you familiar with the term "body language"? Sometimes it's not necessary for someone to tell you to bug off. You can usually pick up on it if you're really paying attention.

Sometimes.. you have to let go.. even if you weren't the one who took the other one's hand..

That's a very profound statement! Sometimes the loving thing to do is to let it go.

little side note.. I remember telling a group of people that they were as friggin disfunctional as I was..

I don't think you're dysfunctional. You're a very funny guy who says some very interesting things tucked away in your humor. You just have to know how to look for it, I suppose.

true. So.. I take what I can get .. or give.. I guess. some people.. all I can do is make them laugh..

so what.

:)

can't demand of anybody that which they do not want to give..

I've told some people.. you don't owe me a damn thing..

Well, actually I think you can only take what is GIVEN to you. To take what is not freely given is . . . . Well, you know what it is.

Thanks Hammer. It's been an interesting discussion with you.

I've only been able to have this kind of intimacy with perhaps two people in my lifetime.. and from what I've seen, I'm "lucky" to have had that much.

sex doesn't even come close..

It's like.. irrelevant..

Usually.. my impression.. people think "what the hell do you want.."

communion. I have a few more theories..

Some people think we were originally one entity.. somehow now we're fragmented..

only thing I'll say.. any soul I have met has brought just a little more wholeness to my life..

Mr. Hammer I think you missed my point. At the risk of raising the hair of some people (and perhaps opening some wounds) what I meant by thinking of it in terms of sexual intimacy was -- If you want to get sexually intimate with someone and they don't want to and you still make advances on them that's harassment leading possibly to rape. It's just an analogy. That's all.

I have a few more "families" than those here..

That's great. Really.

sometimes.. I've learned to be happy with what I can get..

Yeah, but you can always move on and knock on the neighbor's door.

Personally.. I'm looking for the level of intimacy that most people are not willing to go to..

That's interesting. Some people will allow you to get close to you and others won't. Would you still try to get intimate with those who of the latter? Before you answer that question -- think of it in terms of sexual intimacy.

sometimes.. all I can do is get a laugh..

Yes, I suppose, it's healthy not to take this stuff too seriously.

Including: Mike.. Oldies.. YOU..

I've chosen to call friend those who GREATLY disagree with what I think..

I dunno..

ya know.. these ARE living souls that post here..

:)

That's a great way of looking at it. Yes, they are living souls that posts here. That's never been in question.

the only waste or loss I have ever seen.. is when someone willingly closes the door..

call it a weakness or whatever.. I personally, can't close it.. on practically anybody. I'm what I am.. but I usually end up telling myself it's not about me anyway..

I understand. But what do you do when others shut the door on you? Do you keep on knocking?

you might be suprised..

There is not a single human being that has crossed my path, that there has not been a reason..

That's a very philosophical way of looking at it. Yep. I think you've got a point there. I suppose, however, that in some cases we'll never know the reason.

Gee, the list is getting long. I'll put anyone on ignore who copies & pastes Dot's post for my viewing pleasure. So go on people -- pile it on. :)

Yeah.

people want to connect..

I'm sure.

they're looking for SOMETHING.. hopefully from YOU.. or me..

I can see them trying to get something from you but, these particular people seem intent on getting nothing from me. Probably would be very happy if I fall off the earth. :) I'm cool with that.

I've cried for some individuals..

So have I.

This is getting creepy! For someone who says they're going to ignore me they sure seem to go out of their way to get my attention. :) Can anyone explain that to me? Mr. Hammer -- How 'bout you -- can you explain it?

The Word doesn't say it's wrong to eat tuna salad sandwiches on Tuesday nights, either, but I fail to see the relevance.

Right or wrong, Excellor sessions are not to be found in The Word.

If they are, someone please point me in the direction of that scripture.

Wierwille himself was fond of saying that if something is not mentioned in the scriptures, it's probably not important.

Yeah, I know, now someone chimes in and says something like. "Oh, Golly!, What SNS tape is that reference from?"

And so I pose the question again, Where in the scriptures do we find mention of these "excellor sessions" and the need to develop our fluency?

After we have done that maybe we could look at some more first hand accounts of VPW speaking in tongues and interpreting.

If you think my asking that the thread stay on topic is "directing traffic" , toss me a whistle and a tin star.

*sigh* Very well waysider -- have it your way (no pun intended).
