Happy birthday, Sudo! CUZ you're a DENTIST! And a success!

I agree, Mike. In fact, I think it's one more little piece of incontravertible proof that you haven't mastered the material at all. Dude, FINE! If you acknowledge he plagiarized, but you say so what, that's fine! Now you've gone and implicated God in "Dr's" dishonesty. If you're satisfied with a dishonest god, so be it. Your god is dishonest. Been trying to tell you that all along. Good to see you finally admit it. Your false god is a joke and a jerk, Mike. Maybe. Your debating skills are impressive. But you'd still be wrong, idolizing the predatory, charlatan prophet a false god..

I saw it earlier, but don't see it now. Let's try this as a substitute:

In New York, we just removed the windows. These guys at snopes are simply amazing.

In the Bronx, E****e B***a and S***e A******o made a great team. He was a decent guitarist, she had a phenomenal voice. Gee, I miss them. WordWolf, do you remember some of those songs? "I Just Wanted to Thank You." "Superman" "Spiritual Private Eye"

Clearly. Pokerhondas is correct. :)

There's more than one car. One of those answers is RIGHT-THERE!!!

I guess my deal is that there's no evidence either way to state with certainty either way whether Paul was speaking of himself or someone else. If "that's what it says, that's what it means" is a standard, then we have to say it was someone else. If there's some figure of speech at work here, it doesn't translate well into English. I declined earlier to include this in the "actual errors" list, but I lean toward Paul meant what he said and said what he meant: he knew someone, not speaking of himself. If he was speaking of himself, my faith structure doesn't fall to pieces (perhaps because it was not as fragile as Wierwille's, whose faith fell apart at the mere thought of a preposition being out of place).

What game is being played in the first pic? Not "what game is being won?" That may be a winning hand, or it may not. Most likely it is. What game is being played? Combine it with the word you may or may not already have, and you may or may not have the one-word answer.

Oh, all right. Both books are on their way to my house.

Is it getting warm in here?

The word that IS a clue is NOT "Accord"

Sigh. ACCORD is the wrong word. Try again.

Tithing is a common belief. "Law of prosperity" is also fairly common. He probably got it from Cliffe, it would seem, but it's not something I would spend time on (except maybe to see if Cliffe was plagiarized as flagrantly as Stiles).

Gee, ya think? I'm interested in seeing if there is plagiarism involved there, too.

Not sure either way. If it is a Bob Dole type of third-person self-reference, there's no evidence to back that up, whether VPW, Tertullian, or anyone else says so.

I changed my avatar to something that looks a little less like Jon Lovitz, but a little more, shall I say, BROWN than my last avatar. By the way, there is now a Rafael Olmeda web site. No religious content or links.

What happened to my avatar? It worked for about a day.

I do not understand your question. If you're saying that I'm deliberately misrepresenting Mike to make a funny, I wish I were joking. If you're saying those items do not constitute misrepresenting God or Christ and idolizing VPW, then I respectfully disagree. If you're saying that it's ridiculous to suggest you pore over tons and tons of doctrinal discussions, I feel your pain. :)

Allan, I can only advise you to check out tons and tons of doctrinal discussions, but to summarize: God authorized VPW to plagiarize; (misrepresenting God) Jesus will return reading from a PFAL book; (misrepresenting Christ) The earth shook when Wierwille walked, partly due to his overdose of brains and brawn. (idolizing VPW).

Your guesses total 13 words. One of them is helpful. :) Hint: the movie is just one word.

Well, since Tom clearly has no interest in posting pics... :)

I was going to post this, but I... missed it, by that much!

I was sure it would be easy. :) Dead Poets Society.

Is there a time limit on editing old posts? I tried to remove my logo from an old post and couldn't.
