I think her challenges to those traditional assumptions have merit. I don’t disagree with her. Jesus being white is laughable. I am presently convinced by the textual and manuscript evidence against those anti-women verses being authentically Pauline. Paul was a radical. Later scribes couldn’t handle it, so they added verses, even forged whole epistles, to MAKE Paul fit like a glove on their misogynistic hands.

Interesting bit about Cato. It seems the later scribe who added verses 34 and 35 was familiar with his popular injunction.

Doug Wilson’s movement is light in the loafers compared to its Islamic equivalent, Jihadism. But with big enough believing, one day it could be as “spiritually mature” as the Taliban, who has made it illegal for girls and women to talk in public. Voting rights? An issue for mere babes in tha werd.

And if it’s NOT possible, just apply that foundational hermeneutic: if it doesn’t fit, you got to MAKE it fit. Make the numbers whatever they need to be. What a tremendous truth!

They did open this year's festival to the general public. How many of the 3000 were locals, I wonder.

For those interested and concerned, here's a commentary on the Christian Nationalist and self-described "paleo-Confederate," Douglas Wilson. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/opinion/douglas-wilson-evangelical-hegseth.html?unlocked_article_code=1.eU8.IF2t.ygovpbbB8QNL&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Warning: may trigger projectile vomit.

Would TWI or victor support the mandatory display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms - a hallmark of contemporary Christian Nationalism? I suspect they wouldn't, since that's a Jew thing and that Jew law doesn't apply to Christians. Any thoughts on this?

Christian Nationalism, Jihadism Tomato, Tomahto *projectile vomits*

Exactly why I added the air quotes.

I noticed on the cover "Prevailing Word Edition."

It might be this one. https://www.theway.org/sunday-teaching-services/ Here's an unattributed testimony from a very cheerful giver of just how... tremendous the experience is - so much smiling: "It is truly an unparalleled experience being in the audience, smiling and feeling as if everyone on the stage can see you and they are all smiling back at you. The music, the interaction between stage and audience, the Word being shared from fully dedicated hearts of committed believers, God receiving the glory in everything—there is no price tag big enough to cover it."

“Leadership”

For whom was this ring conceived? To whom should it be given? I am truly baffled. Is it a generational thing? I'm gen x and just don't get it. A childhood friend is an illegitimate grandson of Carlos Marcello. His "uncles" were inexplicable multimillionaires. They wore coverall jumpsuits daily and drove Oldsmobiles and Buicks. I think they wore rings like this.

You dropped these " ". I gotcha, STL. "research" There. I fixed it.

If you suffer from CRS like I do, and can’t quite remember whom to worship, the bookstore has got you covered with wallet size reminders. https://store.theway.org/store/dr-victor-paul-wierwille-wallet-photo/
