Why teaching ministries everywhere? I think mainly because the overhead is so low. There is such a low, low cost of doing "business". Rehash pfal, or parts of it.. it's CHEAP. With a computer and printer, it is quite CHEAP to produce another knockoff of a knockoff. At least an "original(?)" work to mass produce. Then it's off to the local printing service! They make it cheaper to mass produce. What are the typical costs? Two, or three cents per page? A seventy page syllabus would cost say.. $2.10. add a folder, cheaply manufactured in China for $1.85 and per participant, per class, the overhead totals about.. $4.05. Maybe I'm underestimating.. the cost could be closer to $9.50, depending on how "illustrious" one wants it to look. I mean, all the printer guy has to do is collate. The seller could punch the holes and assemble the folders. Or have volunteers do it.. Minimum "donations" of about $95.00 accepted. Or even $125.00. Plus whatever gets tossed in the cornucopia as it passes by one during class.. No real cost for "research".. no real overhead in that regard. Ah yes.. low overhead. If one can keep one's weenie in one's own pants.. might be difficult for a little-itty-bitty-manogawd. Don't make TOO MANY outrageous claims. Listen to what the lawyer told you on "free legal advise night".. Low overhead.. no cost for supplies to feed the needy.. No cost to actually DO SOMETHING..

Neither was loy- maybe not with a degree mill doctorate, but he did sport a degree mill corps grad and ordination papers. I don't remember him giving anyone else much credit for his "research". Like the time he came up with the "new light" about the purpose of the Sphinx. I had previously read practically the same thing word for word in Bullinger's Witness of the Stars..

That's largely what I meant by twice-stolen.. Now it's a refurbished version of a refurbished version..

I've actually had people tell me.. "We like YOU.. but the rest of the outfit, blecch.." I should have listened at the time.. The last half dozen "leaders" in the state and branch.. would make your worst impression of a nun appear like a warm, kind-hearted soul in comparison. Then there was the guy who ran the state.. his greatest claim to fame was learning in the corps (from whom, I have no idea..) not to mix his bread and vegetables at the same meal, as to prevent gastric and intestinal attacks from da adversary. No kidding.. he had a dull, stupid look in his eyes, fondly speaking of his bread and vegetables.. he's probably on the current prez's cabinet now..

Have you considered that "they" may feel the same about your organization? You know. "some of them are nice.. loving.. helpful.. but for the MOST PART.. they are a bunch of nazified control freaks.." or words to that effect.

Charging for classes.. the main objection I have to STFI, or any other offshoot charging for classes, is they are charging or accepting a "donation" for twice-stolen material. For the most part, anyway. It would be not unlike selling an aged, yet stolen motor vehicle. One carefully refurbishes it, paints it a different color.. changes a little of the vocabulary, slightly restructures the order the material is presented.. paints over the title and names it Living in god's power, or something sorta like that. It's still a stolen vehicle. "Acquired" from a previous "owner" who "acquired" it the same way.. wanna buy a good used seminar? Title? Who needs a title.. The sad part of this is that "pfal" is essentially their bread and butter.

How do you know that you know.. I dunno. Looking to another to hear the voice of god.. maybe that's the whole problem.. If the Creator doesn't have anything worthwhile at the moment to tell somebody.. what is the difference if others guess, mutter and stammer nonsense.. and often the message is muddied with religious hogwash..

I hope you don't find it too odd friend.. almost everything regarding the old religion seems strange..

soooo.. herr victoid even plagiarized his own dog's name..

aha... gasp.. cough..

You seem to have a lot of assumptions here..

I've heard you shouldn't eat Muesli because it may harbor Familia spirits..

And I wonder how they managed to get an (unchallenged) trademark "WOW Ambassadors" and "L.E.A.D."..

Then there are the exceptions.. Gotta have the right name I guess..

Isn't a great deal of the book about training a dog to hunt with firearms being discharged at close range? I dunno. I can see where it could be useful in da way. As in, training certain cabinet members to not bolt and run to the door when linder accidentally discharges his firearm during some kind of "confrontation"..

well.. most *major* corporations have some kind of protocol to handle something like that.. like an unarmed person receiving "treatment" on the wrong end of a firearm.. In twi's case, I wonder how far down the list "call an ambulance" or "call the authorities" is listed.. probably depends on the circumstances. You know, "revelation" given only once can change..

I wonder if they have some kind of "emergency plans" in place in case linder accidentally discharges the handgun..

I wonder for how long..

Just curious.. where did you find this humble piece of prose, Oldskool?

So.. *Mr* Reynolds. Since you have all of that.. you lay the consequences of this disaster squarely at your own feet because of your own lack of diligence.. I mean.. how many other disasters of the week did you have to wade through this week? None other in the news that I am aware of..

Maybe *Mr(?)* Reynolds should be forced to go back to Grad School.. I don't think he'd last a month..

I was also going to mention the pressure that grad students face. Yes, I was one.. competing against twenty-some olds.. The pressure is incredible.. it's like.. well.. I could see how somebody could really go over the deep end here.. myself.. I entered in with the realistic thought that there would be no results guaranteed. The best thing that happened to me was in the first semester I received a C- in a required course. That in itself almost guarantees failure.. You don't need "friends" or dates.. or acquaintances to make it through the program.. you need mercy.. heh

I was going to say something like that, but I refrained myself.. I wonder what part of *Mr* O'Rileys tirades made him feeling like pulling the rest of his hair out..

Too bad they are hoarding those kind of resources in little old Auglaize County..
