Unlikely. "Israel" is the old covenant in this passage. The old covenant was abolished when Christ offered his body and blood as payment for the sins of all mankind that now all mankind, Jews and Gentiles, must agree to/believe in to be saved (new covenant). Now, if you want to refer to the new covenant as today's Israel, that's ok with me. But I believe it can and does spread some confusion about what covenants we are talking about. Thx.

Ok, a game show round. Identify ONE OR MORE to take the round. A) This is a game show that lasted for several seasons, on different channels, and even spawned a video game based on gameplay. The actual gameplay was pretty straightforward, but a lot of the show's success was based not on the gameplay, but on STYLE. The gameplay for an entire episode could be over in less than 5 minutes, but we padded it out with responses from the audience, with feedback from family members there to support the player, and with the show's unseen antagonist (the banker) occasionally doing something unexpected in the game area. In at least a few episodes, we saw the show's antagonist very clearly and got to hear them. That was because they got permission to exchange the antagonist for DARTH VADER, and there's no reason to include him if you can't see or hear him. The rest of the show's cast also got a wardrobe change for those episodes, as well (all 26 of them), although the host kept his suits. The name of the show is easy to understand for anyone who has watched even one episode of the show, since the show is dominated by asking one simple question. The name of the show is NOT written as a question despite that. B) This game show has 2 teams face off against each other. Each team plays in turns. A sentence was posed to a group of the general public of the US, with a word or phrase missing, with each person asked to fill in the blank. The most common answers are chosen, and placed on the board, with only the first letter of each word showing. (So, if one of the most common answers was "Greasespot Cafe", the board would show 'G_________ C___".) Each player is given a chance to guess words on the board. If they get one right, they guess again, and wrong answers mean play passes to the next team member until time runs out. C) This game show is a wordplay game in which two teams of contestants try to complete a series of words, with each word associated with its preceding word in one way, and its succeeding word in another way. D) This game show is a new take on the classic game show where two contestants compete to place three of their marks in a row on the giant trivia board. Both players must try to avoid the dragon, who lurks to steal their turns and stands in their path to victory.

Also, Hello!

We'll let WordHusky get away with the answer, since he had the correct song title. For next time, dude, please note that this particular thread, we need the SONG TITLE AND THE ARTIST, although if the song had more than one artist, any of them counts as a right answer. (So, "the Nearness of You" has a lot of correct artists.) The first song was Harvey Danger's song "Flagpole Sitta." I didn't expect anyone to get it, but by posting it, I was able to interrupt that song with the other song- note the "*skip* " when the song changed. By having a song interrupted by Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," I successfully Rick-Rolled the thread! Now it's WordHusky's turn to post lyrics from a song. In the interest of getting someone to answer it, I'd like to suggest it be something that was released in 1985 or earlier, since our regular posters are all getting on a bit in years, and rarely listen to the Gen Z/Gen Alpha stuff. (Or Gen Y.) Feel free to look up the lyrics WHEN YOU ARE POSTING THEM so you can post the correct lyrics. If you are guessing, then looking it up disqualifies you to answer. We work on the honor system here. Your turn, WordHusky!

The song in boldface is Never Gonna Give You Up. I'm not sure how nobody got it until now. Also, hello!

How it feel to be out and about? Big changes, little, much, not so much?

To set the stage for the witness of the Lord God & Moses… Matthew 25: The Parable of the 10 Virgins/Galilean Culture On the Mount of Olives, the Son spoke to His disciples in parables—with relatable Hebrew symbols/language/culture. The kingdom of Heaven is likened to a wedding banquet. “Those who were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them. But the wise took jars of oil with their lamps.” In this parable, Christ’s illustration draws upon a Galilean reality: The members of a wedding procession would carry their (oil fired) torches* in the night through the streets to the wedding banquet… And in the parable, it’s the wise virgins—with their torches ablaze—who enter the banquet. *In the parable, the Greek word—Lampas—means “torch” (i.e. lamppost)—not lamp. (Another usage: Revelation 8:10: “The third angel sounded, and a great star from heaven, burning like a torch [Lampas].”) Of course, the question is: What exactly is Christ conveying with this illustration of 10 Virgins & the kingdom of Heaven? Consider 40+ days later… Ascension Day The Son is back on the Mount of Olives with His disciples, and they have the following exchange: “So when they had come together, they asked Him, ‘Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’” (Acts 1:6). Question: Is it possible/probable the disciples are continuing in the same train of thought—the future (deliverance/restoration) of Israel—that Christ established with the parables of the Fig Tree (Israel) & 10 Virgins (Israel)? Next: The Witness of the Father, the Son & Moses—the first deliverer of Israel Peace. revvel

TWI has changed a little bit during the recent years. But their change its only towards recover the "good old days" of VPW and PRE-LCM. VPW is still the main figure and the functioning of the organization and psychological abuse towards people persists. They're not willing to apologize to people; they only ask them to forgive and move forward "in love" . It's sad, but they demand greater maturity from the "average" believer than they do from the leader. Forgiving someone does not immediately mean restoring the relationship or psychological healing.

Btw, willingness to be vulnerable (Brené Brown) is an indicator of personal strength rather than shame. THIS video with Steven Hassan is an interview with Nori Muster, author of a Cult Survivor Handbook AND one about children born into cults.

Btw, those letters demonstrate the Victor Wierwille was indeed a cult leader who used (at least) emotional abuse. I am listening to Steven Hassan's most recent YT video. Which includes an interview with Nori Muster, who had been involved in the Krishna cult and wrote a Cult Survivors Handbook.

Thanks For the Letters Charlene, I'm new in the Forum though I lurked for years. And I left the Way 2 years ago.

It is. I didn't want to go with a Hannibal Lecter quote. The first is from The Mask of Zorro; the second is from Thor. George
