The typical prayer went something like: Heavenly father gawd, I just want to thank you for .... and father just "thank you" for the way you.... and father "thank you" just for...in this day and time and hour... oh and father just bless.... in the name of ... Amen. When I heard similar things in the mainstream christian community, I thought that it was because of all the twi people who had left and had found churches to attend. I figured the bad habits traveled with the twi folks and spread from their.

Funny... I always mixed up Vee Pee with Pee Wee

Thanks GT - This could come in handy.

Okay - this is a question and not a complaint. How is "Multi-quote" supposed to work. Thanks for being so patient with all the questions.

I think the practice started long before LCM's rant under the big top. BTW - I sat across the table from L(nder at lunch one day, when I was in-rez. He talked about the subject of his research paper, which had to do with the subject of lying. Something to the effect of when a lie wasn't really so bad because it was condoned by gawd. IIRC - he used the example of Abraham telling the king that Sara was his sister.

OK... I know this is the Open Forum, but I just have to digress and comment on the flaws here. WTF is going on with the convulsing and repetitive stuff? Have they ever even read a Bible? I mean, even someone who doesn't believe the Bible can tell from a cursory reading that Jesus and the 12 didn't cast out demons in this manner? Can you imagine how different the story of the man possessed with Legion would have been if this church had been in charge? They would still be around chanting and singing. And what's with that lounge music on the piano? The church who is responsible for this for this video is also the one that posted it. They must be proud of it. I somehow feel it's advertising. All that's needed is a sign: "We work hard casting out devils so you don't have to!"

Shell, you can scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page, under the page numbers and below the Google ad of the day, and you should see a "Fast Reply" box. Once you click on the box like you're going to write, it expands and you can type in it.

I think being able to SIT allowed us to claim that we were back to where the 12 apostles were. Which, if you think about it, was dazed and confused.

Declare, accept, submit to (though that word has been abused in twi) Didn't you know what I meant?

I wonder if anyone who ever read RTHST spoke in tongues - without making Jesus their lord. I mean - there's nothing compelling in that book that would convince anyone to accept JC as lord. The book assumes that it's audience is already Christian. NOW - if anyone can say they SITed without making Jesus lord - now you have a hole in the theory. NOW - you would have more proof that what twi taught was bogus. And you know how holes are... once you get one started, it tends to get bigger. Once again, I'm not saying that SIT is wrong or incorrect. I'm saying that what twi taught was most likely wrong. And the argument that goes, "I know it right because I SIT and I know it's authentic because I can feel it,' is too pathetic to address.

Mark - I'm going to answer this and be done with the matter - at least where you're concerned. I read the post you made on this thread - where you actually criticized how waysider started the thread. Then you later wrote that you hadn't bothered to read down a bit to see waysider's very gracious explanation of what his intentions were. As far as Geo is concerned - he really can take care of himself. I never even tried to defend him. Geez! Now stop being condescending. It should be embarassing to you.

Are you telling me that it's not possible that what we were taught was SIT really was not a biblical experience? Are you telling me that it's not possible that we were wrong? Are you telling me that's it's not possible that you are wrong? Are telling me that it's not possible that you really can't speak for the creator of the universe? I hope you're not implying this, because that would be arrogant. And we all know that Christians should be prosperous, not arrogant.

Uhhhh.... but you had the time to write a tome? It's not like it was time-consuming to read a few more posts down. Was that so hard?

I just noticed this. Waysider didn't post this in Doctrinal. It seems he was looking for something else. So this shouldn't decay into a doctrinal argument that ends up in the Soap Opera Forum discussion.

Oh wait! I saw a poster that proved that what twi taught about SIT is accurate. It must be real if someone painted it...right?

Mark I don't know you at all, but it sure looks more like you want folks to visit your site more than have a discussion. Of all the points Geo made all you can do is invite him to look at what you've written? Why not address his posts directly and have a mature discussion? Or else it just looks like an info-mercial for yet another splinter group. Your points seem awfully close to what we heard in twi.

Mark - did you even read this post? And considering that this isn't the doctrinal forum, what's with railing on anyone who doesn't agree with your view of SIT? Chill out man....

Yes, but what does God say? And why? And how can you tell? ~just wondering~

I wouldn't be surprised if there are folks who are making the choice to not take pictures. In a sad, sick, perverted way wouldn't that be the logical conclusion to der victoid's quote, "I have no friends when it comes to the Word." Why take and keep pictures of someone who may not be your friend next week? I have a friend who said, "What vp knew about friendship you could carve on the edge of a penny."

Thank you everyone. It's been a lovely day. I got to spend time with the people I love. Thanks for the parade, Bow! That parade is the 38th way corps? How come they're not goose stepping? (Maybe they can't handle it spiritually.)

"If your eye offends you, cut it out" Guess his did...

The Manifestation of Discerning of Spirits What is: Be vewwy vewwy kwyet.... we're hunting debbil spiwitz.

And let's not forget what a stunning example of the perfect dad der victoid was. I'm glad my kids never had to be a part of that.
