I think this was when Worf "admired gall." That was when we met Kevin Uxbridge and found out why we won't be running into any Husnock anytime. (We never did encounter another Dowd, oddly enough.)

What he was referring to was the mistake most of us made, where we confused CORRELATION with CAUSATION. That is, confusing things that were TOGETHER as if one explained the other. vpw taught some things (taken from others) that made sense when explained. He then taught some other things (some he made up) that didn't make sense. Since part seemed to make PERFECT sense, we trusted that anything we didn't understand made sense and we just didn't see it. (Or considered any error to be too small to matter, depending on the example.) So, if you got healed under one ministry's umbrella, you might conclude that means the ENTIRE MINISTRY-its curriculum, leadership and so on-was quality, whereas it might only be the LOCALS that are quality. That's what JB was talking about.

Actually, Raf would tell you it was Juedes that covered this one... http://www.uia.net/~messiah7/vp_stiles.htm http://www.uia.net/~messiah7/vp_stolenrthst.htm But I'd like to see what else was found.

IIRC, the story was that Rosal1nd R1nker (I may have the wrong person) supposedly told him Bullinger wrote like vpw taught, and gave him his first Bullinger book. Not much longer after that, vpw WROTE "like Bullinger wrote." In the same sentences and chapters and books and so on.

The Word-Faith Movement ALL stole from EW Kenyon- including vpw and Osteen. Which is no guarantee what was stolen was WORTH stealing. LEONARD. He stole the names from LEONARD. He did that when he stole Leonard's class, and his name for his publishing co, CANADIAN Christian Press. He stole the class' TEXTBOOK from STILES in the same year. "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today" was what he called the textbook and Leonard's class when he was saying it was his OWN class. (Later termed pfal.)

Would you care to post any examples from Stiles' book?

A) Don't they still "turn over" employees so they're fired or "asked to leave" just before they can reach eligibility for stuff, or is the candidate pool so shallow they actually have to keep hires now? B) At those wages, how much can a few years of that add up to, really? Even if others get something, only those at the top are more than a "rounding error."

Pawnbroker, you're STILL up!

Correct, which makes this hiway29's turn. I thought naming "Fred Scuttle", Henry McGee and THAMES TELEVISION were giveaways for anyone who watched the show. Henry McGee interviewed "Fred Scuttle" and "Chou Minh" a LOT. Apparently not. Actually, he taped several years that were never aired in the US. (They werent as funny as the ones that WERE aired here.) So it's Hiway29's turn, since never tried a guess when he had a "clear shot." :)

This show was never up to the standards of PBS. This is NOT a recent show-it aired some time ago. This show sometimes got static over the musical numbers and the "questionable" humour. This show mixed comedy skits with visual gags and speeded-up motion. This show had a number of regular characters, and the most common recurring characters showed up in interviews, where the real name of the interviewer was used in the skit, as he interviewed the character, who was always doing some DIFFERENT profession from last time, as if they were being introduced now.

It's a shame, but that happens. That's why online claims have to be verified....

Although Walter Cummins probably edited the entire thing, both books were almost certainly the work of the entire Research Department. The book "vp and me" included some comments about one of the staffers who did critical work on JCOP, who lcm and vpw were busy attacking later on. vpw's name as AUTHOR (meaning "I wrote this") is the only name on the book itself, which is not merely an OVERSIGHT. A less-dishonest approach would have been to list vpw as the "editor" even though he didn't EDIT it, either- but at least it would have indicated that the research and words therein were not his own, but that of others. Naturally, this was outside vpw's ability to admit, so his name's the only one on all the books. As I've said before, there's basically 2 types of books that were released during vpw's lifetime, that have his name listed as the author. A) books that were plagiarized-that is, where the entire, or nearly-entire, contents were taken from the books and authored materials of other authors, with some words and sentences moved around, and a general cut-and-paste done B) books written by the research department, where they wrote the entire book and did 100% of the work, and then vpw came along and put his name on the cover. As for the "Studies in Abundant Living", each chapter seems to have been taken from its own source-some from Kenyon, some from Bullinger, some from other word-faith sources, and so on. The pamphlet "Studies in Human Suffering" became "Job-Victim to Victor", and both were taken right out of BULLINGER's book on Job. Furthermore, those books themselves were mostly compilations of sermons ("teachings") he had done. As someone pointed out once, and decent pastor or other sermonizer could produce enough quality material for a book of that size EACH YEAR. I'm sure any number of us could have done as much at our height of "research".

One of the more heartwarming thoughts I've had in the past few days was my musing of Rozilla's choices. This is how they got the archaic expression "hold a wolf by the ears". See, if you've got a wolf by the ears, you can't tell if it would be more dangerous to LET GO or to HOLD ON, so either option is bad. Rosa-lie has whispered, backstabbed and brownnosed her way to the top at twi..... ...and is getting old, and probably ALREADY needs some of the bodyservants she has waiting on her and acting as butlers, maids, etc. Keep up with even the basic day-to-day activities on campus? Driver herself there and back, and run all her own errands? Hardly! She's got people housekeeping for her on twi's dime, cooking for her on twi's dime, running errands, and other stuff I'm not privy to-plus whatever healthcare plan they've suddenly enlisted the aid of now that she needs some (interesting timing.) Every month, though, the truth is creeping up on her. She's not quite as sharp as she was, can't quite get around like she did..... ...and that sound you here is the music as the sharks circle the boat... ..you can see the fins even now...... So, does she try and stay in office until she's suddenly incapacitated? Does she stay there until she declines and is FORCED out? Does she try and arrange for some alternative- and rely on the mercy of twi? They learned FROM HER that it was appropriate to kick Mrs W out of her home and into a nursing home when she was no longer needed-does she really think that they'll do any more for her? Oh, no, she backstabbed her way to the top, and she knows that behind the back of EVERYONE around her is a sharp knife, concealed until she's not paying attention.... ...you can hear the music, can't you?

Right. I won't ask for the artist. Your turn!

"We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand."

Swing and a miss. In general, I try to avoid anything with Bea Arthur in it.

Actually, it was LAST NIGHT at 12:30am. I caught it by chance. Forgot that 12:01am is "the previous night". Oh, well. Someone still caught a number of the callbacks in chat.

Correct. Simon Tarses was 1/4 Romulan, not 1/4 Vulcan, and Nora Satie seized on that to accuse him of conspiracy. As it turned out, the "sabotage" was simple structural failure, and when Picard got on her to stop looking for a conspiracy when there was none, he was added to her list of suspects. I didn't even get to the best quotes yet. Go, George!
