"Heck, at corps week, the corps were blamed for NOT STOPPING THE RAIN" R.O.A. (1973?) : There was a bad series of thunderstorms that left everything a muddy mess and temporarily knocked out the power to the main stage. Wierwille walked up the the, then live, microphone and smugly announced, "I'm still here!", like it was a major spiritual accomplishment. If you're still here, why don't you use your mythical law of believing to clear the weather? What a "maroon"!

Thanks for those links, Rocky. It's especially important for us older folks, who have more occasion to have to deal with pain than some of our younger counterpart, to understand the dangers of mixing alcohol with acetaminophen.

I seiously doubt that he ever thought of himself as having a problem. He also chain smoked Kool "shorties" like it was going out of style. His motto in life was "Do what you like as long as you like what you do." He died of metastatic cancer. (Liver and eye) The real kicker here, though, is that he taught alcoholism and cancer are caused by devil spirits. So, either he was wrong about the devil spirit thing or we were following a guy who was possessed. Quite a dilemma, no? BTW, His son, Don, and his brother, Harry, also died from cancer. edit: commas and stuff.

Raf did quite a bit of really good work on this particular subject. I have no idea how to find it again.

Yeah the secret initiation into the inner sanctum...... (Just 'cuz I'm feeling a little bit impish today.) HERE

Just calling it an advanced class is a joke, in and of itself. It's not advanced and it's not a class. It's an indoctrination into a medieval type of thinking.

49 AGAIN?????

Go easy on the eggnog, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving!

We know for certain, for instance, that for some reason, for some time in the beginning, there were hot lumps. Cold and lonely, they whirled noiselessly through the black holes of space.......

In the event of something happening to me....

If you spoke in tongues more you would understand.

Don't forget to follow the order of operations PEMDAS

I did learn how to "stretch" coffee, though. So, that's nice.

Exponentially, I would suspect..

Yeah, but Uncle (he wasn't really my uncle) Harry said retirement plans were for saps. You don't think he might have been jivin', do you? edit: grammar

Also, do they teach anything about geography or spelling? Just wondering.

Welcome, Geshem. Do they still teach the law of believing and practice the manifestations? Curious minds want to know.

This is a gross misrepresentation of T-Bones's point. He was not questioning the reliability of the scriptures. He was questioning VP's credibility. Here is what he said: "What if a similar criterion could be applied to “the teacher”….(cough – ahem)…vp. If he lied to us about PFAL coming from all his own research - or he lied to us when he said God audibly told him He would teach vp the Word like it has not be known since the 1st century…then why should we trust him on anything else?!?!"

How does leadership decide who's going to sit at the *"kids' table"? *(Fellowship with lesser credentialed leader)

I think the realization they were able to keep so much hidden speaks volumes about just how corrupt and deceptive the whole operation was.

So, let's see. VP (You know he wasn't really a Dr., don't you?) Wierwille died from cancer. Uncle (He was somebody's uncle, but not mine.) Harry died from cancer. Don Wierwille died from cancer.....I'm starting to think they may not have known as much about cancer as they thought they did.

It's quite possible some of the kids in those videos are now posters here on GSC.

" Emeritus Woman of God of Our Day and France and Ireland" EWOGODAFI. Sounds like a mythical creature that lurks below in the dankness of the sewer system and preys upon unsuspecting empties floating by.

HeHe! I posted that in reference to a famous quote VPW made on his deathbed...."I wish I were the man I knew to be."
