  1. Johnny better scene was in "Judge Roy Bean" where mungo (that was Blazing saddles) drank coffee from an old percolator pot from the fire. My parents used to have one of those old percolators and it made some nasty coffee
  2. West Virginia "advance" i remember asking about Psalms 148 "Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [be] above the heavens." (Psalms 148:4 KJV) And receiving the answer I wasn't to know about that It was advanced class stuff. Asking 4 or 5 ppl. and being rebuffed each time. Finally some1 answered as to the firmament in Genesis and I was blown away! Question. If I was inquisitive enuff to ask? should I have gotten an answer? BTW this was 4 months after I took PFAL. And yeah LCM was there and featured head dung-heap master. John

    Steve Levicoff in "Name It and Frame It," states in chapter 4, "Accreditation mills have only one purpose: to communicate an air of credibility to degree mills. Witness, for example, the claims of the American Accrediting Association of Theological Institutions, Inc., of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, which charges degree mills only a $100.00 application fee and a $75.00 annual renewal fee to gain their "accreditation." The president of A.A.A.T.I. is Cecil Johnson ("D.D., D.R.E., Lit.D., Th.D., Ph.D."), who is also the president of Christian Bible College in Rocky Mount (a degree mill listed in Chapter 12). Johnson proclaims in his association's marketing letter: After your school is accredited by A.A.A.T.I. for anyone who wishes to check on your status please have them call [our number] daily between 10 & 12 noon. We prefer to talk with individual [sic] personally rather than write to them. Please do not give our address to any individual, only other schools who are interested in being accredited. Accreditation is between the school and the association . . The basic information we give out is that your school is in good standing with A.A.A.T.I. We do not recommend any school, only lend credibility to those accredited by A.A.A.T.I. Think about the ramifications in Johnson's pitch. They will "lend credibility" to any school that pays their $100.00 application fee, but they will only do so by phone - they won't put it in writing. They don't want their address (which is the same address as Johnson's degree mill) given out to anyone except other degree mills seeking their alleged accreditation..." Interesting

    I suggest you look at the accreditation. It costs all of $100 for accreditation. Damn I paid more for piffle 35 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Accr...al_Institutions John
  5. According to the "Collaborative International Dictionary of English" Based upon 1913 Webster's Dictionary the third definition of piracy "Sometimes used, in a quasi-figurative sense, of violation of copyright; but for this, infringement is the correct and preferable term.". Now according to what I've read in these posts that was TWI's lawsuit against CG. The Courts found that TWI's position was untenable. Therefore in the court's view no piracy. Again this has nothing to do with plagiarism which was John Juedes premise. Although Piracy was used in the headline I do not know if that was his choice or the Webmasters choice. Did CG plagiarize? I think that is self-evident. Did he infringe upon copyright law? The Courts say not and they have access to documents and contracts I'm not privy to. John
  6. hmmm I have some ideas for no reason excepting the sound of the voice. So I'll take a stab. Jim Reeves on the first one and Bobby Sherman on the second although both are prolly wrong.

  11. Notice in that article it mentions Intellectual Property, copyright laws and other such minor legal matters. If something is not under copyright or under intellectual property rights, it is not illegal. immoral yes but illegal no. I know we are nit-picking but that's how lawyers do so let's pretend we're lawyers and nit-pick. Theses days a copyright is not necessary. If I write some code for a function in software and find that someone used that code and made gobs of money I could sue them for Intellectual property rights infringement. I don't have to copyright software code as long as I could prove that code is identical to mine and mine predated theirs. This is where Intellectual Property Rights come in. I would then reap the benefits if the Court ruled in my favor. Would they go to jail? I doubt it unless the state prosecuted them for fraud. I can't prosecute them for fraud only the state or federal Gov. could here in USA. Otherwise George Harrison would be a felon since he was found guilty of copyright infringement for "My Sweet Lord" and as far as I know he wasn't prosecuted for fraud therefore it wasn't criminal but civil action as far as the state was concerned.

  12. hmmmm which of my two WOW years was worse. I would have to say the second which was 75-76 in Mesa Arizona. So I won't talk about that one. 6 months after taking the class I went WOW to Ellensburgh Wa. GriffP if you read this you prolly figured out who I am, and Marc I know you have . I don't know where to start on this. whether talking about the extremely authoritarian (sp) WOW coordinator who scared my WOW sister ( and Fiancee) so much we had to call the Limb co-ordinator to minister to her since she didn't trust any1else. Or my 2 WOW sisters leaving during the year and making it just me and him. Almost 35 yrs ago and it's hard to believe I still hold on to those things. That year we were supposed to do 6 months in one area and 6 months in another. We never made it to the other. It took one year to run one class of 4 ppl so of course I figured we were the lowest of believers. At This time I can say no more. It'll take time to put that year together in a more coherent form. John
  13. Ok here goes, "They say that all good things must go some day autumn leaves must fall" song, author, and year John oops I meant artist not author
  14. Well, not sure so I'll wait for confirmation, even though I do have one in the far reccesses of my mind I could drag up I suppose.
  15. So what are the rules wait for confirmation then I ask or what? Inquiring minds want to know!
  16. It isn't Memphis, Tennessee by Chuck berry??????
  17. Plagiarism in itself is not illegal. Copyright infringement or intellectual property rights infringement are. Schools have not won a law suit against a student because they weren't the ones harmed. The owner of the copyright or intellectual property are the ones harmed. It's the same as me listening to a cover song and then suing the performer because he/she didn't acknowledge that it was a cover and therefore I was harmed. No where in the US Code of Laws does it mention plagiarism.
  18. Pond, While in college before I got involved in TWI I said that same thing to a very dear friend of mine. His response was the best I've ever heard. his response was " If your leg is broken you need a crutch". Only those that are looking can ever find God.
  19. trying to get in touch with K*nt and Gi**y Ov*rakers are they still around Seattle from the early 80's?
