Are you saying it would take rodeo school to make them clowns, when in this day and age they're still willing to pay twi $cashola to "teach" them how to perform manual labour? Whether or not they wear the jester's motley, or paint their faces, I think they're still playing the fool....
-
Well, children count so long as they'll also be doing the manual labour around grounds, and going on potentially life-threatening activities like hitchhiking to LEAD, rock-climbing without certified instructors, and bullfighting. Knowing the heartless, inhumane machines in charge of the programs, it would not surprise me to hear they'd SEND 8-12 year olds to do any or all of the above. Do they still ship the corps by bus to a farm to pick peppers and onions or whatever? And if so, is that still obviously unpaid manual labour that they're PAYING for the privilege of doing?

Then there's verbs like "seems", "appears", or "be", "is", and "was", none of which need necessarily burn any calories or require deep thought. ===== As for a "working definition" or a "rule of thumb", Greg, that sounds fine. Please keep in mind that the thing is ADVISORY and not an UNCHANGEABLE RULE. So, you're not compelled to make everything conform to it. The forcing of square pegs into round holes is lazy, damaging, and typical of much of the "education" of a "good" wayfer. (Not even getting into what the corps endured.)

I agree. Like some other resources, I find it a good thing to read through your paper from time to time, to refresh my memory. (I don't agree with every single word, but I find even what I disagree with to be instructive in its own fashion.)

I've heard that "raptures of the deep", also known as "nitrogen narcosis", has produced hallucinations as well. I think most of us have heard something to that effect, actually. I was unable to find documentation of this in a quick search, but this is what I DID find. http://www.wikiscuba.com/wiki/index.php/Nitrogen_narcosis I think it may prove useful when discussing what astronauts experience, since there may be similarities.

I'll skip the most obvious possibility, and guess "Love, Sidney."

To say nothing of the fact that he skipped when I addressed an error he made.

I myself had a complete stranger, back in my twi days, invoke this verse as "proof" of the Trinity.

Did they really? When was this? It's almost silly to ask with these guys, but was there any announcement anywhere, or is it a secret as usual?
-
Correct. The Borg are attacking, the Enterprise, ineffective, is hiding, and Commander Shelby is concentrating on her career track right now.

There's more than one issue here. Here's how I see it. Did satan know the full results of the crucifixion? I believe he did not, and that the verses show this. Let me know if you need me to run through it. Did Jesus know the ramifications of his sacrifice? I question whether he would have carried out his instructions without an extreme REASON. So, I don't have a verse saying he absolutely DID know, but I see know verses saying he did NOT, and my OPINION is that his knowing was the only sensible justification for enduring what he did. As to the Gentiles thing being a surprise to satan, ALL of it was a surprise to him. As to the Gentiles thing being a surprise to Jesus, I see no reason to even suspect it, let alone support it. If vpw taught this-and judging from some of the responses, it seems he did- I find this to be error.

That it's supposed to be "which" is easy to check- just grab an Interlinear. It's "which", not God. So, on that, I'd say Johniam was correct. However, the "forgery" statement was completely unsupported. I myself have taught on this before, and am convinced that it was an ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE by a translator going from the Greek to the English. IIRC, Walter C made the same claim in the Fundamentals of Biblical Research "class" (that it's easy to see it was a mistake, that is.)

..and, lest we forget, this MLM comes complete with keeping expenses secret, which is the OPPOSITE of nice, healthy non-profit organizations, but is often found among conventional businesses- organizations specifically structured to value MAKING MONEY as opposed to SERVING GOD. Which business model is a trustworthy one for CHRISTIANS? You can answer that for your own consciences, but I have my answer.

I'd bet money none of them's read it in the last 3 years, especially after any discussion of the actual events that are vaguely alluded to in PoP. Every time I look it over nowadays, it just gets more and more surreal, as 20/20 hindsight kicks in.

USA= Reagan + Bush + Clinton = 3 gods Great Britain = Churchill + Thatcher + Major = 3 gods Taco Bell= Mexi-Melt + chalupa + burrito = 3 gods Do you have a SOURCE for your sets? I made mine up just now, but I think that's obvious to everyone. I took 3 names that weren't really connected and called them "3 gods" and suggested they were connected as some sort of "trinity." I know "Babylon Mystery Religion" tossed out a few names and claimed they were Trinities, but those were SO made-up that the author repudiated them in the sequel, and put the blame on Alexander Hislop for just inventing whatever connections he WANTED to see in his hunger to invent every conceivable charge to blame the RCC for.

Correct, wasway. Your turn. Go.
-
Correct. (In essence, he made a 'bandage' for a rock-based lifeform by using quick-drying cement. He was quite proud of that example of lateral thinking.) I can see we have some L337 hardcore Trekkies on this thread. This is going to get brutal..... Go, H29!
