The only reason I could think of using that kind of vocabulary.. especially in a public setting.. was if that was all the audience could understand. I'd seriously think about finding another audience. Of course.. maybe that's all loy boy could understand. Thing is, I thought he was educated better than that, and I thought he was raised better. Jesus generally didn't use these words toward disciples. Hypocrite, whited sepulcre- were reserved for those whom the description fit. Not used toward the beloved. The spittle drenched tirades that should have been reserved for the WORST, were thrown at the BEST. People who had a love for God.

If.. you can eat bread and vegetables in the same meal, and not be afraid you're inviting the devil to bring gastrointestinal disaster..

When you can say "string" and "chairs", and not necessarily in the same sentence.

Hmm. I guess they will just have to try harder.. Maybe they just don't have any "leadership" left without worn out vocal chords..

I wish we weighed in with a clean slate. I have so many issues in life that would suggest we don't. No junk to deal with.. that would be wonderful.. but apparently that is not to be. At least I think.. :)

George, I wish it was that easy, at least for me..:) Groucho.. I wish so. But apparently a party line is part of the agreement.. at least I think. Dang wars.. wish I didn't have to pick sides one way or the other..

Friend, she's always been there..

Sorry, can't help but being at least a little poetic.. :)

I think.. you have to see it in somebody else. What is "real"..? In a strange kinda way.. I don't think a person can see it in themselves. If you really saw it in yourself, you'd worship the dang mirror for the rest of your days. But if you think you want to know, to find.. think twice.. you may get your prayer answered. You may get more than you asked for. :) But a person would not regret it.

True, unless you just sat through the class, and just went your way. "The Verd takes the place of the absent Christ".. If somebody "missed it".. good for them.

I think it morphed from "I have no friends when it comes to the word of God" to: "I have no friends". Those still in that organization have no real friends. At least that they know of. Here on the outside, they have more friends than they can count. Inside of the household of "perfection", they can't have friends. someone who is closer than a brother. It's like a few other religions.. they have no friends, when it come to the Koran.. or Budha.. I think the Living God gives you a reason to be a friend with anybody. But don't even think of touching their idol, they'll bite your hand off.

I would say very valid. But what is it about these guys.. they seem to think, "well.. it wasn't so bad. Six million, impossible. maybe four, or three and a half.. ". And some of them keep bartering away, trying to trim the number down to what they think is an "acceptable" level. I wonder.. do they consider? Those were millions of people's parents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins.. professors, students, teachers, artists, common laborers, carpenters. They weren't "vermin". It's like a scene out of Dr. Strangelove, where General Turgidson is advising the president..

I would agree. If they really think that their "product" is what it claims to be, i.e. secrets of the universe, truth known like it was not known since the first century.. then I think that THEY think it does. I think these people either have had a lobotomy, or simply drank way too much of their own kool aide. I wonder what the opinion is, on the top of the organization. I'll bet it's not "dog soldiers for da lord", staked to the ground. They might die for the money..

Oh. Like "implicit obedience" or some such nonsense.Hmm. I wonder what happened there.. Right.. just sell me another bridge..

Part of their review of Pawns in the Game.. Grave danger, oppression.. forces of evil.. if you are a "patriot" or "christian" you better wake up.. Almost sounds like one of loy's rants.. sheesh. Why is it they are so adamant as to dismiss the holocaust based primarily on the premise that with the magnitude of it's claims it simply could not be true, and turn around and promote something that sounds even more "outlandish"?

Maybe Ek was the twi version. Needed to look through vic's glass eye to find his way back to the two dimensional world.. sorry, carry on.. :)

I thought Ek was the name of a monster on The Outer Limits.. Oh yeah.. here it is. http://www.theouterlimits.com/episodes/season1960/6035.htm Eck, Ek.. what's the difference..

This is the guy who claims superior knowledge about the gas chambers. I'm not really trying to assasinate his character.. I think he did a good enough job of it all on his own.

Perhaps.. "da word, da word, and nuttin but da word" wasn't splashy, or controversial enough, to SELL.

I remember part of the story, where he was a self-promoted "expert" in gas chambers and executions at a trial. Judge: "what degree do you have, that qualifies you as a SCIENTIFIC expert?" Leuchter: "umm, well, it's in history.." The scary part about this history "afficianado" turned junk scientist.. some people actually BELIEVE his blather..

Leuchter, Leuchter.. name rings a bell.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_A._Leuchter Some honeymoon.. what a "maroon"..

When you go back to school, and don't condemn yourself for abandoning your "true calling" of sitting in endless meetings, door to door and mall witnessing, running classes and cleaning leadership's houses.

It's not just limited to cats.

This is one of the songs that spoke to me.. If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break If it keeps on rainin' levee's goin' to break When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home Oh well oh well oh well. Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They go no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned, All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' 'bout me baby and my happy home. Going, go'n' to Chicago, Go'n' to Chicago, Sorry but I can't take you. Going down, going down now, going down.

Thanks for the link George.. Copyright??How can you copyright a spirit? Let's say the spirit chooses to channel through the next door neighbor instead.. unless the spirit signed off on some kind of contract, it would seem that a person would have no legal recourse.. I can understand somebody selling a book.. at a reasonable price. But.. I guess she rakes in millions with this.. I think some people have had some real experiences.. don't know if this lady really did or not, but it seems if you mix it with money and massive organization, it turns to poison.
