In case you're curious, I plowed through HtEtB. (Most of it.) The first mention makes it sound the same as in the Companion Bible. However, if you keep reading, eventually he gets to that Psalms thing about the heathen for inheritance, and people using that for missionary sermons, and the next verse about breaking them with a rod of iron and dashing them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Bullinger confirms that it's "dividing" but that it's not "rightly dividing." He uses the word "interpreting" later, especially in section headers, and he uses it as synonymous with "rightly dividing." He doesn't leave a sentence that says "rightly diving" is "interpreting", but he uses the terms interchangeably. So, with everything else being lifted directly, that was lifted also. For those people who think I ramble and go on for a while, I have nothing on Bullinger. I'm amateur-hour compared to when really Bullinger gets going.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the "you can't understand the Bible unless we tell you what it means" position (common to both the Roman Catholic Church and twi- while twi derides the RCC for doing it, they do it too) dovetails nicely with "you need us, remember to give us money." Both groups consider themselves the final word on all things relating to God Almighty, and the rank and file better remember that. If you oppose the group, you oppose GOD ALMIGHTY and can face consequences from Him.

"I was born a poor Black child."

D'oh! Ok, scratch that one. Here's another. "Oh, who can take tomorrow?, (Who can take tomorrow?), Dip it in a dream, (Dip it in a dream), Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream?"

Yes. Dr House always had to diagnose some mysterious malady. Since lupus has nebulous symptoms, it was always a possibility. And one time, it WAS lupus. There's some lupus foundation that thanked the show for raising awareness of lupus in the public eye.

If "All Scripture explains itself, either in the verse, or in the context, or as a term has been used before", which Bullinger said in "How to Enjoy the Bible", and has been taught at twi since vpw started quoting Bullinger in the 1950s, then II Peter 1:20 has to be understood in the context of the surrounding verses, which is to say, in light of II Peter 1:21. When one allows this process, then the explanation that vpw gave- which he photocopied from Bullinger without understanding it- is seen as INCORRECT. This is not a notable problem in and of itself. Bullinger made a mistake, and vpw made 2 mistakes- to not examine Bullinger's conclusion, and to just pass it alone unexamined. Men are human, and make mistakes. They will make errors. They will teach errors. Where this becomes a notable problem is where one is taught that the entire PFAL experience- the PFAL classes as a whole, and the foundation of "wierwille's" teaching as a whole- is not simply what wierwille taught, but that it was the product of what GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF taught wierwille, and wierwille just passed along to everyone else at the behest of GOD ALMIGHTY. Now, which is more sensible- that the error was the result of wierwille making a mistake when understanding Bullinger because wierwille did all this on his own volition and it all rested on his skill and those of the Christians whom he photocopied, even though he claimed he was taught by God Almighty, and thus, he should never be questioned on doctrine because to question wierwille on doctrine is to question GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF on doctrine, a mistake made by Eve in the Garden of Eden, or that the error was the result of GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF making a mistake and passing that mistake on to wierwille, who was correctly passing along what GOD ALMIGHTY taught wierwille, which is what wierwille claimed happened? There's no third option. Using Bullinger's own techniques- and thus pfal and twi's own techniques because they were passed along entirely- to read II Peter 1, the only sensible conclusion is that II Peter 1:20 refers to the origin of Scripture, NOT whether one "lets the hounds loose on the game." Bullinger's own techniques show Bullinger to be in error in this instance.

"It could be Lupus." "It's NEVER Lupus!"

"Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation. It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation."

"My Fair Lady."

Running Scared Jimmy Smits Star Wars Episode 3-Revenge of the Sith For those who saw "Running Scared" and wonder who he was, he played Detective Tony Montoya, one of the 2 young detectives that were undercover. "Croissant?" "Nice car. What do you call it, 'the Chicken-Mobile'?"

Appears to be "Star Trek." (The Original Series.)

It does. The only artist I know who did a broadcast of this song was DANNY AIELLO. He was on Saturday Night Live- which was indeed broadcast. The song was "CHUBBY CLEMENTINE." So, a cover of Bobby Darin's song.

Just so I can say I asked, Cream with "Sunshine Of Your Love"????

In case there was any doubt, it's George's turn.

Wow. *checks* One source says he was 5'4" and 100 lbs, giving him a BMI of about 17.19. But, yes, that was James Madison. Apparently 3 James Madisons standing on a scale at the same time would still weigh less than one William Howard Taft (322 lbs.)

Considering this messageboard has been going for more than 25 years, and still has daily activity, I think that's quite remarkable. Out of all the messageboards I've been at since I went online, I think there's only one other one that's still around. IIRC, that one went down completely, and was restarted by someone else, so it's more of a different board with the same name as the first board. This one has been active since the 1990s, and underwent migrations between hosts and servers. It's outlasted the entire hosting company on which it started.

Right. Lots of claims by non-experts who weren't there and whose accounts contradicted all the official reports. I'd at least respect if you'd just SAY you thought my friend was a liar rather than the cowardly approach of INSINUATING it. No airplanes- despite people there managing to get footage of the impacts. No airplanes- despite people actually seeing the planes hit. People who weren't there say there weren't any, so the eyewitnesses and the actual footage must be wrong. I used to find that sort of disconnect amazing, but it's always been possible, and now it's even easier to have an echo chamber where all the voices agree with you, and all the dissenting voices never reach you. Facebook alone has a lot to answer for, there.

BTW, George, you've seen the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. "HEY, GRANDMA! That's an awful big nose for you. TO HAVE!" That was "Little Red Riding Rabbit."

"YOU'RE Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"

The second line is also from Dire Straits' "Heavy Fuel", but the first line is not. But I keep hearing the Dire Straits song when I try to name this one.

Neither FDR nor Franklin Pierce, although neither was from my lifetime. The lowest BMI was 20.9, and I've posted everything you need to know to figure out who it was without looking it up.

https://allpoetry.com/The-Bridge-Builder The Bridge Builder An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build you the bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him." Will Allen Dromgoole was a woman who was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She wrote over 7,500 poems, 5,000 essays, and published thirteen books.

I have a question about the content. I'm curious if they included the poem, "the Bridge Builder," by Ms Will Allen Dromgoole, and, if they did, did they include her name? I'm thinking they didn't include it, even though it was the reason they picked that name for the book. Personally, I quoted the poem once on the GSC, when someone asked why we post, warning about twi.

I picked the asbestos example for a reason, and I phrased myself rather specifically for that reason. I think you noticed.

8) Posting 5-15 minutes a day at most (sometimes less), and occasionally, some of those posts warn people away from twi, and that means that my life's goal is to warn people about twi. Well, judging from the amount of time spent, I must have a more important "life's goal" of having lunch every day, since I spend a lot more time eating lunch in a week than I do about twi in a week.
