Hey Bramble, I know you're not speaking of me....I most definitely am not a PFALer That's a slur that's tantamount to the loose glove slapped in someone's face or throwing the gauntlet down. But I guess if you ever want to truly insult someone, there's always this line: "Why...you...you...PFALer you!" It's just irritating that someone would waste so much bandwidth on the internet and allude that they have some new and powerful heavy revvy but then oh so quaintly refuse to post it, which then bespeaks that they never had it to begin with and it most definitely will not hold up to the eye of exegetical scrutiny, which the real biblical world knows how to do without plagiarizing and duping poor folks into believing they now know how. Funny, isn't it...no wonder they didn't want us to read outside of their works. The cold hard light of the morning after tells it all! Yeah....Hey Mike, why don't you try 1 Corinthians 3:17????

I think the only thing (I think) that I still have is sheet music printed, but anything that was written and issued directly by TWI, I removed from the looseleaf binder. The only ones I kept from it are the old Gospel songs, like Amazing Grace, etc. When I think of the money I flushed down the toilet and how many starving Ethiopian children I could have fed.... (sigh)

Oh, do quote me, Puhleez, WHERE I MADE ANY DESCRIPTIONS OF MY GOD???? The orange book probably has a cut and paste chapter in there somewhere.

DRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Naw, I'm waiting for you...I want to see what you come up with?

NOPE! Never read it and if it came out of TWI, I still don't want to read it. Their views on marriage always left me with a sick spiritual feeling in my spiritual "stoma" so, I'm not looking to deliberately make myself ill.

Ralph should have been more "humble" about it all.

There ain't no contradictions!

SELF PROCLAMATION is in a set all by itself and I hereby PROCLAIM that this set be set by itself to remain the set of all sets so that all can see its perfect set.

To which line would you be referring to kind Sir? The Greek line? I believe it is listed as 1 Corinthians 3:17 Or woulda you be referring to the English line, "Parse away, Parse away, Parse away all!?" The ball is in yur court

Calling "one niner-Hamm-whiskey runner-two fiver!!!! How's the weather up there? Didn't find your anadiplosis, while they are similar forms of the same lexical base, one is present active and the other is future active. As far as your antanaclasis, it died while trying to cross the intersection between the present and the future because here it failed to realize that the intersection was the same while it thought it was a different one.

1 Corinthians 3:17 εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ φθείρει φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ θεός ὁ γὰρ ναὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ἅγιός ἐστιν οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς PARSE AWAY, PARSE AWAY, PARSE AWAY ALL!

Either you have the goods or you don't! Your call, Mr. Exegesis.

Well, mine seems tame to all of that! Yet, for a long time there was bitterness about the loss of years that I spent directly in TWI and then the same amount of years in an offshoot. But the Lord is faithful and I'm sure He can even take all of these bad experiences and use them for His glory somewhere down the road.

I should have added to this to my last "other" post as well.... Not only did the HOLY SPIRIT rescue me from the CRAPPER, He cleansed me with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS, and then WASHED me with the washing of the REAL WORD. and then he put me on the right road...ya know....the straight and narrow one.

And along those lines, vp's practice of showing his favorite porn video and quoting "unto the pure all things are pure" to justify his sexual immorality come to mind…Perhaps all the crap leaking out of the Lock Boxes now – is God's way of ruining his "man-of-god" persona. He brought it on himself…Check out verse 17 in another translation: I Corinthians 3:17 Holman Christian Standard Bible If anyone ruins God's sanctuary, God will ruin him; for God's sanctuary is holy, and that is what you are. [edited for those who feel safe with TWI or PFAL ] Did he actually show porn videos? Was that what went on at the night owls? I always felt that he was showing the class "Christian family and sex" to see if anyone was open to the spirit of lust. What I think is interesting is that the Greek word is "porn-ay". So if he was then showing further videos, that was to fully indoctrinate the victim so that they wouldn't think it was strange when the moves were made on them.

Hey, Rascal....just Praise the Lord! At least with me.....SOMEONE FORGOT TO FLUSH THE DAM THING!

I remember all too well, how excited I was to finally be able to purchase my very first KJV Bible with REAL kid leather at the BRC at the Bible Table. I think back then it was a whopping $60.00, (now I know they had a huge mark-up on it as well). You know...I still have it. I once in anger was going to delightfully rip each and every page out of it (I already had a new one anyway) and burn it, but the Holy Spirit wouldn't let me. Today, I'm kind of glad He wouldn't let me. I use it today now to compare the blatant errors in all of the notes that I so diligently wrote down in the margins. I also look at the destruction or the deconstruction of the Word of God (TWI did it blatantly and with full knowledge) (I did it ignorantly not understanding how I was being led) as TWI breezily declared this verse was a FORGERY and this word was ADDED. The sum total of which...we were ARROGANTLY instructed to do what? SCRATCH IT OUT! Today, I look at the TOTAL INSANITY hidden behind those actions and those instructions. Are there some pis s poor translational moments? Yes. Are there some really sloppy exegetical additions? Yes. Are there deliberate instances of eisegesis? A definite yes. And yet... Even now, after learning how to translate the Greek Scriptures into the host language, that being English....I do not totally BLACK OUT the verse, but I lightly draw a line through the word or phrase that was poorly translated and then I write next to it, what the Greek phrase is, in Greek and then the English translation. Or if a Greek word should have been rendered as 'subjunctive' and the KJV rendered it as an 'indicative', I show my supportive documentation of why the KJV translators chose the wrong mood. When the Holy Spirit began moving upon me to deal with MY ARROGANCE in following those INSANE instructions, I've had to repent several times and deep within my SOUL, I've had to face the fact that I also deconstructed the WORD OF GOD. As I said, I still have that Bible and I use it now as a teaching tool for myself and for others if the opportunity arises. VP contaminated so many young and eager-to-learn minds believing that we were being given BREAD, but really he was feeding us SCORPIONS, and breathing onto us HIS SPIRIT of total ARROGANCY AND REBELLION towards GOD HIMSELF. So after all of that...do any of you still have your BRC purchased KJV Bibles? Have any of you had to repent for allowing yourself to be blindly led?

Yes, and God Bless you as well, Sister. I love you and study hard. Be willing to be under the tutelage of the HOLY SPIRIT and HE will lead you into all TRUTH, evan as promised in the Gospel of John.

Thanks, Roy! Good stuff!

ALL RIGHT! WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE, HUH?? I wouldn't touch that with a sexty sixty foot pole!

Just to add some more to the plate........ and assuming body and spirit are a given – we come up with a six-fold model of man. T-Bone....would that be a "SEXOTOMIST?" Oh, for the joy of sex, huh?

It's not the Greek words, Ham, it was the doc's stuff that did everyone in and led to spiritual bondage. And what was worse, we were young and we followed and we willingly put on our own personal set of spiritual blinders thinking that we would be able to please God.
