Anyone ever taken a close look at the graphic for the GP? It has 3 thin lines as the border in the upper triangle. Does that have any significance? I have no idea. It does, however, cause me to suspect that VPW may have *lifted* this graphic from a trinitarian, without fully realizing the nuances the originator was trying to opine.

NEIGHBOR: "Hey, your dog took a dump on my lawn. Would you mind cleaning it up?" ME: "Not necessarily."

You mean like teaching your toddler how to do calculus?

Why did they not fully absorb? Could it have been because they weren't paying attention?

"Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrel... and this is my other brother Darrel."

Uh huh. Or, could it be from the great mystery revealed session in PFAL? I guess I could ask a grad but most have either forgotten or weren't paying attention.

Is it, though? Back in the day, if things weren't going well, we used to say, "We must be doing something right for the devil to be attacking us." Same difference, no?

Al Capone ran soup kitchens. I guess he was a swell guy, after all.

Unfortunately for you, those questions aren't relevant to the purpose of this discussion. Please demonstrate your justification, in the event you think they are.

In as much as I wasn't around 2,000 years ago, I would prefer a discussion that centers, instead, around The Way International, a subject that has current relevancy.

"It's like you're always stuck in second gear." So much of that describes my own experience, it's uncanny. No phone, no TV, no newspaper, no internet and on and on and on. I remember when everyone at my outside job was buzzing about some new TV show called Saturday Night Live. How do you tell people you don't even have a TV and then turn around to pitch them on Power For Abundant Living? Those were the days, though, weren't they, Edith? edit: After one of those grueling 5AM to midnight days, the only thing on your mind was the chance of getting another 5 hrs. sleep.

Hey, Mike. You seem to know a lot about what goes on in academia. What exactly is your educational background? (No essays, please.)

How can we be sure?

I had fellowship with Shakespeare. Good times. Good times.

Jesus is on the main line. Tell him what you want.

No.

If the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack.

Green was for FellowLaborers. You younger grads need to pay attention. Sheesh!

"What do you want to do tonight, Brain?" "Same thing we do every night., Pinky, try to sell the class."

Heh!

Another thick slice (or 2) of baloney. If there's something in the written materials that promotes your premise, the onus is on you to present it. If it's there, it certainly shouldn't require an "essay" to expose it. Bring it on. I'll try my best to discuss it in a fair and balanced manner.

This is absolute nonsense, Mike. This concept of "feelings come and go" is laced throughout the entire PFAL series of classes, beginning with the foundational class. It's really a pity your hatred of the Way Corps, as well as a hatred of verbally communicated lessons, has blinded you to reality. I challenge you to present some sort of concrete evidence that the written materials promote a healthy attitude toward emotions. Take your time. I can wait.

Years ago, there was a particular TV preacher who had an early Sunday morning, 1/2 hour show. He would start with current events, move on to a couple of songs, reflect on a personal anecdote and, finally, toward the end of the show, he would briefly quote a scripture. Then, he would finish the show by shouting, "JOY! I wish I had more time!". I'm just sayin'.

Holy macaroni. You could make Stretch Armstrong look stiff.
