  1. Well, I'd say it's an adaptation of Gone with the Wind. But let's say you're correct. As I said before, all you seem to care about and focus on is the thief and the theft. You don't appreciate the goodness or usefulness of the film, or not even any of its many scenes.
  2. If VPW's work were a motorcycle, I sort of look at it like he took various parts from various different brands of motorcycles, then put together from those parts his own brand. Now he did say he took the parts from other brands. He didn't say he made all those parts all by himself. Were they stolen? Hmmmm. To the extent he paid for any of those teachings (parts), like B.G. Leonards class, like Bullingers books, like Stiles book, and whereever else he learned from, then they weren't stolen, they were bought and used. I may ride a bike today without knowing where all these parts are from. Some may be made in U.S., some in Japan, some in Germany, whatever. But go ahead, you folks who can't help but think of VPW nothing but a thief. All you seem to focus on is that the bike has stolen parts. You can dwell on that if you so choose, but I prefer to focus on riding the bike. Looks to me like the motorcycle he built from all those various parts rode pretty good, and still does!
  3. Too late now, sorry. Hey where'd M.D.V. go? Come back M.D.V., come back...
  4. When statements such as these are made, it's really no surprise why JAL characterizes them as potshots. He also challenges you brave anonymous posters who have a beef with him to speak with him privately. What's wrong with that? Why don't you email him hmmmmmmmmm.
  5. I think this reveals why folks like me are thankful for VPW teaching PFAL. Let's say PFAL was all VPW's own private interpretation of scriptures. In that case one shouldn't be surprised when folks say they were helped by VPW, since PFAL helped them make sense of the bible like never before and have a strong (or stronger than before) belief system in the bible, in God, and all because of VPW own interpretation of scriptures. Something to try to understand why many folks still think VPW was walking in the spirit when teaching PFAL, cause it helped them big time and they figure that it was God helping them through VPW. Saying it was only VPW's mythology, or private interpretation, tends to give VPW even more credence for putting it together, not less, for those of us who find it very useful. Just another reminder, it wasn't the critics of PFAL who help me understand and believe the bible, it was VPW and PFAL. You guys who think you have all the answers now about everything twi weren't around giving answers when we needed help....VPW and PFAL was around. Before that, I didn't even pick the bible up.
  6. Belle, you're a mega-victim. Not only were you in twi, but at the wrong time no less.
  7. dmiller, you missed one helluva performance. Better than John Travolta, if I say so myself.
  8. Oh Tom, what do you think Greasespot is for anyway? Gee, and you spent 10 years in twi? for what?Ummm, no I don't think VPW and the Word was one and the same. But when VPW taught the Word, it was the Word he taught. Happy devouring!
  9. Oh yes he should be worshipped continually.
  10. David, thanks. I went ahead and bought the #34480 unit last night, and saved another $15 on top of the $99 sale for getting a Sears Charge Card. This should work out really great. It says it takes 5 hours to make 3 quarts, but I can run it at night when my electricity rate is lower. Regarding me coming to see you, I was thinking about one weekend in April or May? Obviously I'd like to ride on a beautiful sunny weekend, so if I have the option of calling it a day or two beforehand, that'd be great. Don't want to mess up your plans though. :)--> Just curious, how many gallons of water did you make on the Kenmore before you needed a new filter?

    Define This

    This is called a Moony
  12. So what's your point? We should renounce the Word we learned in twi, all because of Wierwille's sins?
  13. Last time I set foot in the auditorium was sometime around 1990 or 1991 for a service. Do you remember those thick books they had in the front with all the contributors' names?
  14. David, is this the one you have?: Kenmore Water Purifier Just wanted to make sure since it was a different model no. :)-->
  15. This is why the good that was in twi was justified. Thanks Thomas.
  16. The offshoots in their own way have tried to keep the baby, and throw out the bathwater. VPW learned great things from B.G. Leonard. He kept what he believed was truth, but abandoned what he thought was error. Same deal with the offshoots. There were many great teachings and loving traditions of true Christianity in TWI, and hopefully those things will remain.
