Neither does merely adopting said doctrines, even if they are public domain, make them any more "original" either.

"Practical error always leads to doctrinal error. The leaders, especially lcm, said that a lot." Must have been because loy was so acquainted with "practical error" Yep. "BEWARE of SIN 'brethren'- I KNOWS sin. I jess KNOWS the consequences of practical error. I'll keep you updated. Just keep sending me money.." Garsh, I'm so thankfull..

Belle, I really prefer your method! This one individual, well, I tried to be polite, first. Good grief.. on and on it went.. over breaking some little known protocol not known since the days of Methuselah..you'd think I murdered somebody. And it wasn't in a situation I could exactly walk away from either. Well, gotta do what you gotta do.. Back in the vey I probably woulda just cowered in a corner somewhere.. not this time! Looking back, its kinda funny now. As far as vey brain goes, I think I've handled it fairly well.. any more, I'll go the extra mile to resolve something in a polite, or humorous way. Usually humorous does the job.

Here we go again, heh heh heh. :D

Well.. getting mad and cussing them out.. I don't think its always a bad thing, or makes thing worse, if you cuss "creatively". I have had to do this to one poor soul a couple of months ago.. person was being plain legalistic, mean.. never involved with the old ministry either. I told the person they reminded me of some a**holes in an old cult I used to be in.. "I ALREADY have one G*d D*mned A**hole, and you are NOT going to ream me another one.. " No kidding.. this came out of my mouth, and most people think I'm a pretty nice guy.. :D It worked WONDERS ! The person is now more of a friend than before..

I wonder if anyone considers my new election and GS moving at the same time just another bizarre coincidence..

Before you gulp down the details fellows, look at the size of the portion. "Weeeel, the matador, he dooozen't win every time.."

Belle, I think YOU are a Greasespot Gem! :)-->

Come to think of it, who isn't? :)-->

Just don't name it the Titanic.. :D-->

Hey! With the end of the world coming and all, somebody oughta pop a few champaign corks! Paw, you are gonna do a proper Christening when you set this new rascal out to sea, I would hope?

Good grief.. Oldies, I have heard of a cure for your situation, but I don't think you'd make it.. sheesh.

I wonder how pleasant it was for folks when I tried to beat them to death with my well worn copy of Jesus Christ is not God, in their very own living rooms.. Oh yeah.. that sure helped them, I'm sure.. Yeah, yeah, they were BEATING a path to my door step.. some "ambassador".. sheesh.

Good points Belle.. I think that is one reason I didn't mind paying again, and again, and again, at least at one time.. The ministry had at least some semblance of these things.. there were root locations, training, music productions, larger meetings.. and I believe a lot of folks actually came out of it with at least a little of something to show.. But even that slowly changed. Now the best they have to offer is some new light on why beastiality isn't such a great idea.. good grief. Couldn't PAY me to sit through that kind of stuff again..

Belle, I think you just wrote it! :D-->

And he claimed what he taught as much, at least out of one side of the mouth.. along with "by the way, I went to BG's class" out of the other. Settles the question to my satisfaction. Funny how this did not quite pan out.. So off we go, to Rosiland Rinker, BG, Stiles, Bullinger.. Kenyon, Arthur Ford (he WAS a GUEST in the v.p. household more than once! Vic said as much at my advanced class) Glenn Clark, Star Dailey, Rufus Mosley, etc. etc. etc. Some really strange folk are among the list.. The only "improvement" in the "holy spurt field" was listing nine manifestations instead of nine "gifts".. Still didn't stop folks from speaking in tongues if they wanted to. Look at Stiles ministry..

Texas, forgive me.. :D-->

like a Texan on a pork chop..

Production went off like a cow whizzing on a flat rock..

Kinda ironic, it featured an oakie in the middle of a cornfield.. No aspersions to okies. Just SOME (or at least one) of them :D-->

Have to admit it impressed me.. far more than AOS anyway.

Rhino, I think this is kinda like "where's Waldo", just a fun, greasespot version. I guess loy is good for something after all! :)-->

Well, that oughta fix any pesky fire problems they may have been having.. just hope nobody gets hurt.

Ah, the snowstorm.. Thinking, thinking.. (tap, tap tapping of pencil..).. 1. Chemicals of some kind.. 2. Perhaps sleep deprivation.. 3. Mid-life crisis, just a little early in life.. Where else indeed. Seems he conveniently forgets Leonard's, Stiles, and others ministries.. But couple this "light giving" ministry with their own definition of an apostle. Here we have the character nominating himself for "sainthood".

Heh heh. They could use the slogan: "For that 'special' time, when sex need not really be sex.."
