    Emerson Lake and Palmer's "LUCKY MAN." Nice to recognize one.

    Ezekiel 33: 3-5 (KJV) If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. =============================== All the warnings in the world are in vain for the person whose practice and doctrine punish them for CONSIDERING/THINKING, and reward them for blind loyalty and never examining whether or not they've taken a wrong turn somewhere. STUBBORNNESS is not a fruit of the spirit, no matter who seems to think it's something praiseworthy.

    This is an expected side-effect whenever one embraces a doctrine that requires one to CLOSE their eyes and ears, and LOCK the doctrine tightly. This produces mental inbreeding. Just like physical inbreeding makes animals or humans weak or ill, mental inbreeding weakens people by limiting their sources, their intake. Even if it's one good source, it's like eating nothing BUT rabbit. The rabbit isn't poisonous, but if you eat nothing else, you could die of malnutrition. In the case of mental inbreeding, the ideas that float around become progressively more UNsound. Worse, if grading is based on how "faithful" one is to the sole source of input, the more unsound the doctrine and ideas get, the harder one is to cling BLINDLY to them- and one is lauded and praised for doing so. "In multitude of counselors is safety." If one only has one source of knowledge and counsel, trouble is inevitable.....

    It's one of those one-word shows..... "SUCCESSION?????"

    Taking my usual wild swing here.... "CAMELOT????"

    "Tongues of angels" is mentioned exactly ONCE in the entire Bible. That should raise a few eyebrows, because whenever vpw posits a doctrine around a SINGLE VERSE, it always turns out he'd flubbed the verse and that wasn't what it meant after all. "Tongues of angels" is mentioned in a list of incredibly wild, over-the-top claims of practices. It's no more a reality one can experience than can having ALL Knowledge. What all that means is important, and why there were several threads just discussing all that. Naturally, Mike never learned anything from any of those discussions.

    Although it's possible for anyone to change over 20 years (some of the GSC'ers have changed radically), Mike is so used to being refuted and ignoring the refutations that posting corrections, even obvious ones, won't be of use to him as to other people because Mike doesn't come here to ever try to learn anything. Mike's here purely to advertise.

    So, the person who insists on breathing and eating this ideology, is there any long-term and/or short-term harm to them?

    So, Mike is pfal's last chance, and Mike is free will's last chance. Mike is amazingly important- according to Mike.
  11. WordWolf
    With Mike, that's usually the way to bet. Find a way to relieve him of the responsibility of the decisions he made, of the responsibility for the actions he took.

    BTW, I don't think you're going to get the Psychologists to go along with any new definitions or new phrases you propose and use, like "synapse set." Especially when they don't agree with previous definitions of either word.

    One standard technique, right from the conman's playbook, is to INVENT a problem and then SELL you the solution.

    Incorrect- just Mike unable to get past the polarizing influence of black-and-white thinking. Some of what vpw stole was good material from good people. Some of what vpw stole was not- and vpw was unable or unwilling to tell the difference. Since he was just copying over, he likely didn't understand a lot of it and just bluffed a lot. After that, people came along and cleaned up his work, corrected him, or constructed elaborate covers that hid how bad a mistake he'd made. One problem was when a good person- like Bullinger- made a big mistake, and vpw was unable to tell the difference. (Bad material from good people.) Furthermore, sometimes the material was bad and came from bad people, and he couldn't tell that, either. Since vpw was cobbling together an inferior theology from diverse sources, these were an obvious risk- and were an obvious outcome. It was theoretically possible for him to construct a serviceable theology using eclecticism- but it required a better eye than he had, and harder work than he was prepared to do. Cognitive dissonance is what one gets running into a big pile of vpw error, then trying to spin it into some secret truth hidden by God Almighty.

    No, it was a False Dilemma as posted. Although it is not outside the realm of possibility that you're just that awful at communicating, and are continually misunderstood, I'm going with "I got caught making a mistake, so I'll rephrase myself and claim I was misunderstood instead, and the fault is in the reader instead." Since you've previously VOLUNTEERED to us that you "dodge, distract, but never admit an error is an error," it's more likely just more of the same. So, you're making lots of mistakes, admitting to none of them, and keep insulting GSC'ers who understand and catch you on each mistake, pretending they're the ones making the mistakes. if you're trying to convince us you're really up on Psychological and/or Psychiatric thought, you've a long way to go (and probably won't get there.)

    Apparently, I don't know The Kinks nearly well enough for this round.
  17. WordWolf
    I try not to post when I have absolutely nothing to add. George and I both apparently only know 1 quote from John Paul Jones. Unless you meant the one who was in Led Zeppelin, that would be different.
  18. WordWolf
    Well, it's obvious, but only to those who lived through it and saw it directly, that in twi under vpw, when it was said that "The Word takes the place of the absent Christ," what's meant is that "wierwille's words take the place of Christ, who's not here to object." So, "What would wierwille think" really did become a thing, no matter who would be slow to admit it. Frankly, they probably should have just sold bumper stickers with that on them.

    I recommend seeing it at least once. Wordpup saw it this Halloween. Even he thought it was a good movie. I'm fascinated about how we follow a completely different movie for the first 20 minutes than we do for the next 20, and so on..... I can heavily quote the first 20 minutes and not hit any of the more famous lines, which show up more as the movie unfolds.

    Thanks a lot, Sugar, um Chief, um, I'll have the next one up soon, I guess.
  21. WordWolf
    You keep asking, he'll keep dodging. Can't change his spots.
  22. WordWolf
    And if there weren't, he'd have another excuse as to why he won't- he's used them for decades- but by now it's obvious he CAN'T. (By that, I mean what he's been asked to do- be brief and clear.)
  23. WordWolf
    After seeing him unable to do it here, I'm confident he can't do it for the professors, either. He is who he is.
  24. WordWolf
    He's been giving the same answer the entire time he's been here. "Can you post something both brief and clear?" "*evasion*" If he had SOMETHING, there would have been SOMETHING he could whip out and say "Here's something noteworthy" and we'd be able to say "How about that, something noteworthy." He's had over 20 years to find it, so if he hasn't found it yet....
  25. WordWolf
    This isn't exactly new. There's a reason I responded to his mentioning of the group with casualness. It was going to be a LOT less than he began advertising, by the time the details arrived. Any wonder why his credibility is shot here? There's more than 1 reason.
