While I think that Wierwille's plagarism is beyond argument, his use of the names Maggie Muggins, Henry Bollocco, Johnny Jump-Up, etc., is hardly evidence.

As was previously stated, they were familiar to those who grew up in that time and culture. When somebody today says something is "Mickey-Mouse", we don't think to accuse them of ripping off Disney.

If you'll remember PFAL, they weren't "characters", but casual references whenever Wierwille needed a generic name. I doubt he gave the use of these bnames a second thought. It was only in the 90's when the Rock of Ages was over run with big-headed characters like Mr. Ambassador that they were thought of as anything special.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice...but in practice there is

I see what you mean Oak about the names... I think it just shows his laziness and a means to an end... he copied most everything else from Leonard's class... couldn't even take time to think up different names... the arrogancy! (of course I don't know if that's a real word)

... I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between...

Well if that's the case, I'm a devil worshipper. I like rock music and fusion jazz. Just goes to show, even "genuine" ministers and men of God have their prejudices. I don't think the Way collapsed because of the style of music thay played. I'd say it was the idolatry of following men instead of serving God.

Peace

LOL. That was quite a profound statement, wasn't it? Where's "Obvious Man" when you need him?

Hi Raf, God bless! How've you been?
