While I'm on the subject, let's have a moment to discuss the stratified society that was/is twi, and the pecking order, and who salutes who. We had the spiritual empties-those who never took the class, or weren't born again, depending on who was teaching that night and in what year. We had people in twi but hadn't taken the foundational (pfal) class. We had people who took the foundational, but not the intermediate. We had people who took the foundational and intermediate, but not the advanced class. See, here's where my own chart breaks down. There were wows and advanced-class grads. There were coordinators of various types. There was the college division. Ok, to the twig coordinator saluted to the branch coordinator, who saluted the territory coordinator, who saluted the limb coordinator, who saluted the regional coordinator, who saluted the trunk coordinator, who saluted the bod. THAT part's easy to see. But where did the other positions-like worldwide outreach-fit in? Where did those other positions fit? What about the reverends? Recognized corp? wows that went twice? And other stuff I've never heard of?

Here's what twi used. Ephesians 4:10-12. " 10He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) 11And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;" And in some twi doctrine (pfal proper), all Christians had "Christ in them" and were fantastic. HOWEVER, AFTER that, then you get into the hierarchy, and the gift ministries mentioned there- Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers- were part of the hierarchy.

Sharon answered mine- "Blitzkrieg Bop." (By the Ramones and covered since then.) Ca Dreaming may have answered hers correctly.

No, I just named your song, and posted another (hetero).

Next song. "They're forming in a straight line They're going through a tight wind The kids are losing their minds"

I'm not sure, but I think the answer to both is the same. PDF stands for "Portable Document Format." It squeezes down document files into a smaller format, a bit. Apparently, some people consider PDFs as superior for posting a document rather than as a .doc or whatever. Further, since people can make .docs look pretty, but they take up a lot of resources compared to a .txt file of identical content, trimming down their requirements is a handy thing. Then pdf readers like Adobe Acrobat can be used to read them, and blow up the page, or whatever. That's as best I can figure it.

Ok, this one's Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter". I forget whether that or "End of the Innocence" is the title-song for the album. But "End of the Innocence" is a LOT better-known.

Young Frankenstein Gene Hackman the Quick and the Dead

Just to make it official, CORRECT. It's got a lot of clever little lines.

Yes, it was me. Raf misplaced his copy and forgot the name, and asked for one. I recommended this one, and he said it was the one he had been using previously. I've been resisting the urge to bring that up on this thread, so thanks for putting me out of my misery. :)

Scholar: one who has completed a properly-accredited set of coursework with the accompanying degrees. Non-Scholar: one who has not. It's like the difference between a surgeon and a nut with a set of surgical tools. Would you let someone perform major surgery (or minor surgery, for that matter) on you without knowing their qualifications? Would you trust your lawsuit or defense to a guy who does not have a legal degree in plain sight in his office? Entirely different question between "devilishly-influenced" and "eyes of understanding enlightened." That's a subject for Doctrinal. Since this is "about the way" and not "about the RCC" or "about the LDS",we could ask either in the Doctrinal forum at most, but neither is "about the way." Oversimplifying truth is how people get fooled. The Devil quoted Scripture to Jesus. Can't get more "True" than Scripture. Was what the Devil said, then, truth? If you want to get into this, again, Doctrinal. It still blows my mind that some people seek to excuse the capital offenses committed by-and advocated by- vpw, but can strain at a gnat as to how many people were crucified when Jesus was. The only cross that mattered on that hill was the one Jesus was on. Some of the posts certainly are. However, the staff won't stop you from posting no matter how much your posts exemplify it. They're made of finer clay.

I thought it was worth bringing up again. Some people keep forgetting how vpw was always friends with "the greatest" everythings in the world and so on. So, worth looking at, at the very least, I thought. (Perhaps you disagree. Perhaps you're right.)

Recollections from 1981-1984, anyone?

What was vpw's idea of a great Christian layman? Would you believe Howard Allen?

Hey, it's ok. All the regular posters have posted stuff they later regretted. Nobody's got a perfect batting average. And so on. Pull up a chair. Have some spring water.

" 'E' is for 'Er-gent'!!!" "Four scores and 32 bars ago, our forefathers.." "A quartet?" "...And foremothers..." "Another quartet?" "Sshh!" "What's that?" "SSSSHHH!!" "Good plan." "It's all in the mind."

[WordWolf in boldface and brackets.] [Hm, what did Wigglesworth say? http://windandfire.org/2005/Main/Spiritual...igglesworth.htm "Smith Wigglesworth placed great emphasis on purity and holiness, like all true Revivalists. He said, "You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God. You must refuse everything that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness... Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY." This one statement contains what is probably the key secret to Smith Wigglesworth's outstanding success in God. And it is obviously a key that is well worth remembering for us also. Another point to remember is that Smith was very aware of the dangers of money, and guarded himself carefully against the possibility of covetousness entering in. He was truly beyond reproach in this area also." Smith Wigglesworth was BEYOND REPROACH, beyond any coveting of money, and emphasized PURITY. You insult Wigglesworth by invoking his name in the same breath as a man who showed pornographic videos to his students, raped members of his congregation and covered his tracks, drugged members of his congregation and covered his tracks, exposed himself to members of his congregation, made arrangements to do all the above, and presented the quality work of other Christians as his own.] [Oh, and welcome to the GSC.

I did not find Garth's comment inappropriate, myself. ========= In other news, on their own website (http://www.pcj.edu/intro/intropage.html) Pontifical College Josephinum says this: "ABOUT THE JOSEPHINUM Founded in 1888, by a German immigrant priest, Msgr. Joseph Jessing, the Pontifical College Josephinum was granted pontifical status in 1892 by Pope Leo XIII, thus becoming, and remaining, the only pontifical seminary in the Western Hemisphere. Originally founded by Msgr. Jessing, in 1875, as an orphanage, today it educates seminarians from the United States, Asia, Africa and Europe. Alumni serve the universal Church in 22 foreign countries and 48 states. The Josephinum is comprised of a four-year College of Liberal Arts and a four-year graduate School of Theology. The Josephinum prepares priests for: U.S. dioceses that do not have their own seminaries; missionary areas of the United States; regions of the U.S. with growing Hispanic communities; and dioceses around the world in need of help with the education of their seminarians." It's located in Columbus, Ohio, so its mention here is hardly shocking. I'm not sure about the chain of "who salutes to who" here, but it doesn't sound like a secret papal training ground or an independent group not accountable to anyone short of the Vatican. Not that anyone SAID they were, but the phrasing was peculiar and I wanted to say that outright.

Of course, some people would say you don't REALLY know that's why she's the sole exception to the rule of kicking out the spouse and so on, unless you contact twi in writing and they say that's the reason....

I wonder where the enigmatic Peter Wade falls in the continuum. I know he had the brains to leave early-perhaps it was an educated brain.

*checks* Apparently, it IS DareDevil. I didn't realize DD got to kill Joe Quesada. A lot of comics readers would like to do that, or at least beat him down. :) They snuck in a number of names of comics people into the movie- John Romita was another. (Senior or Junior, I guess.) And they used the best lines from the Daredevil/Elektra fight in the 80s- the lines that ended the fight. I'm not a Frank Miller fan, but that issue was a classic. ======== Ok, next movie. " 'E' is for 'Er-gent'!!!"

Given the tape series they're selling, I think twi is supposing exactly that.
