If Wierdwilly could speak from the grave, he would probably claim he wrote THIS, too.

Burn The Chaff (Uncle Harry in effigy) Day Exiled now you travel inward Flames engulf your throne Puppets hang in effigy While someone casts a stone. A lonely queen has cuckold you. A princely sword's been drawn The noble blood once spilled for you Will wear your crown at dawn.

I think it ALL means "something". I'm just not sure WHAT. edit: I think we're better off NOT knowing that we know that we know that we know and so on.

Warning!! Do not click the following link if "going off-topic" bothers you. Throwing It All Away.

"He's smokin' like a chimney." hahahahaha

The important thing here is to throw it away (or keep it) because that's what YOU want to do, not because you feel pressured to do what Harry (he wasn't MY uncle) Wierwille might have wanted.

In a strange kind of way, it actually helps me to look at old materials, like the Advanced Class Silly-Bus, and marvel at how ludicrous the whole thing was. I chuckle when I think about how seriously I took the whole, bizarre experience. It's a bit like an old, embarrassing photo from jr. high school that reminds me of how far I've traveled in my journey and how glad I am to be where I am today..

*off topic* SEED boys. This is one topic that helped our exit. IF the devil can only copy what God has done, then, how in the world could there be SEED boys in the OT? Seed (Holy Spirit) not available until Pentecost. Now you can say that Adam and Eve originally had spirit. But then, the devil got to produce all these progeny while GOD ALMIGHTY had to wait thousands of years to produce his awaiting man's redemption? (new thread?) ----------------------------------------------- Now, see, there you go again, trying to use logic to explain Way Doctrine. Did you miss that session on Eve's fall from grace or something?

The coffee's not too bad but, I would suggest you avoid the crab tartare.

I wish you kids could have seen it in the original. The literal translation, according to usage was....."I was I'd been a man. I think I could have been."

Maybe this is where Cyndi Lauper got the idea for that song...."Squirrels Just Wanna Have Fun". Re: bass amp Sounds quite......mmmmm....tubular.

Wierwille was the Ron Popeil of the religious world. TWI was Ronco. (PFAL was The Pocket Fisherman.) Now what would you pay for it? But, wait! There's more! You also get "Lo Shanta", "You're my keeds." and "Dat's Riiiiiight!". Call now. WOW Ambassadors are standing by.

I concur, skyrider. By the mid 1970s, the FellowLaborers were already being directed to confine their studies and teachings to the core materials of PLAF (The Wonder Class). Anything that might cast suspicion on the integrity of "the class" was relegated to a nearly taboo level. Wierwille already knew his "teachings" didn't hold water and they couldn't withstand close scrutiny in the light of day. edit: In fact, in about 1976, we spent a whole month or so presenting teachings, in our nightly twigs, using nothing but "The Blue Book"...... with no extraneous supplementation permitted. (Just what we needed at 11PM )

Ya know...I think we've debunked this eye thing several times here on GSC. But, suppose for a moment it were true...Where was the revelation that was supposed to warn him about safe levels?....Why couldn't he use the "law" of believing to turn the situation around?...The guy was a big phoney....He rode the gravy train and we bought him the ticket.

"I gave my eye for you kids."

Strip away all the religious trappings and what you will discover is that W.O.W. and W.D. are nothing more than an unpaid sales force.

What makes you think you aren't already? My mom, 'the world's greatest twig leader', used to say that "God loves you for what you are now, not for what you used to be in the past or what you will be in the future". I sure do miss you, Mom. :(

Another spin on this is found in PFAL (session 5?).... Geeze, it was 40 years ago, cut me some slack! LOL This is the whole schtick that Wierdwille does on how, when He comes back, "He won't be coming back as the one who was spit on, beaten and humiliated, He'll be coming back as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He'll be coming back as Lord God Almighty!"...(Yes, there were Trinitarian references in PFAL.) Anyhow, this explains, to the neophite, why you are supposed to pray in the name of the victorious Christ, not the name of the humiliated Jesus. Then, as you move on to the more so-called "advanced" teaching, the devil spirit aspect is introduced. In fact, it (the devil spirit aspect) receives a great deal of focus in the Advanced Class.

He brought smiles and tears into our living rooms for over fifty years

Is that the inverse corollary to "I'd be dead if not for da ministry..."??
