Or, to quote my dad, "It's exactly the same, but completely different."

"I learned some things from that [AC] class" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- O.K. So, there ya go. Take that thought to doctrine and initiate a discussion of what you or other people may have learned from the Advanced Class.

I'm all ears. You are more than welcome to elaborate on the specifics of how you were hurt and the heart and motive behind your post. That's a big part of why GSC exists. There are ways to be specific and, at the same time, redact identifying information if that's a matter that concerns you.

That's a mighty fancy way of saying "Just get over it." (Not a popular view point of people who were genuinely hurt by the organization. Philosophy may augment but does not replace reality.)

GSC is a very diverse place with many beliefs and attitudes being represented, all the way from Christian to Wicca to Taoism and so on. The most appropriate place to discuss those beliefs is in the doctrinal forum. However, the main purpose of GSC is to expose the reality of what was taking place and continues to take place within The Way. Before the site was reformatted, that was stated clearly on the front page. Perhaps you haven't been here long enough to remember that. It does appear to me, as indicated by some of your responses, JJ, that you haven't had the opportunity to explore some of the areas of discussion that have appeared here over the years, such as speaking in tongues, the Advanced Class, the law of believing and many more topics. If there is a specific area of concern in the videos you've posted, perhaps you could start a thread in the doctrinal forum to narrow the discussion a bit.

Click HERE Cadence and Cascade Kept a man named Jade; Cool in the shade While his audience played. Purred, whispered, "Spend us too: We only serve for you". Sliding mystified On the wine of the tide Stared pale-eyed As his veil fell aside. Sad paper courtesan They found him just a man. Caravan hotel Where the sequin spell fell Custom of the game. Cadence oiled in love Licked his velvet gloved hand Cascade kissed his name. Sad paper courtesan They knew him just a man.

Back in the day, we would have had a jolly time analyzing the "spiritual significance" of such connections.

As with many words, there is no single, concise definition that covers all the many nuances that can be applied to it. To some, an idol represents something superior to them, something beyond replication, something that inspires awe. To others, an idol is something or someone to be emulated, revered for excellence and given due respect. To yet others, the mention of idols may simply conjure up thoughts of physical entities, such as statues and monuments. It's all about context.

."....I hope you can take the time to look over these healing videos.One of the most powerful IMHO is a video out of Australia entitled "The normal Christian Life- My baby had a heart attack" they show actual footage of the ordeal..l4 whole minutes of your life." Link?

It's starting to catch on in the U.S. So far, though, it's in its infancy here. (aside from some university programs which have been around forever)

Just in one of those moods, ya know? " Sliding mystifiedOn the wine of the tideStared pale-eyedAs his veil fell aside.Sad paper courtesanThey found him just a man."

I got my copy in the mail this afternoon. And, so, the journey begins.

Do I pay them or do they pay me? Happy New Year!

This is a bit off on a tangent, not really parallel, but it will illustrate the significance of isolation. The Family

Merry Christmas, Roy.

Waysider: "The canon does not reflect the chronology of when the various books were written." teachmevp: "But they do indeed." uhhmmm.......No, the Gospels were written quite some time after the life of Jesus and after the writing of the Epistles.

Rather than continue on a discourse about dispensations, let it at least be noted that the Gospels were written AFTER the Epistles.

The whole "to you/for you" thing is contrived. The cannon does not reflect the chronology of when the various books were written.

Some of the people on this thread or mentioned on this thread have passed away.

Cremation is less expensive if that makes a difference
