And in doing so, he was violating his own "To Whom it is Written" rule.

You don't really think any of us made enough money to file long form, do you?

Oh, that was strictly forbidden. You also weren't allowed to list it as part of your individual ABS. Even the stamps used to send in the weekly ABS and forms had to come out of personal pocket money, along with the expense of buying a money order.

They had all kinds of tricks for manifesting "prosperity" that were really nothing more than vestiges of depression-era frugality. (Darning socks, saving cloth scraps and so on.

The salt is supposed to cut some of the bitterness. Back then, we used those funky old aluminum perculators that give coffee a burnt taste.

Expenses for running a class had to be handled by the local believers running the class, including any refreshments served at break. Most of us were young, financially challenged individuals. VPW's brother, "Uncle" Harry, suggested money could be saved by combining a bit of fresh coffee with the previous day's grounds and sprinkling the mixture with a touch of salt. It was called "stretching". Another money saving tip often used was to wash the disposable Styrofoam cups and reuse them. Teeth marks and lipstick stains often made this a challenging task. What a way to demonstrate our "prosperity".

Hey Boo Boo!, my little children.

"Oh, It's a figure of speech." Uhmmm, no, it's not. It's really not. It's a simple, straightforward statement that expresses someone's opinion. You can express your personal opinion, however whacky it may be, but you don't get to invent new figures of speech "Just Because".

"Every good boy deserves favor" is a mnemonic. SCUBA is a mnemonic. The ABC song is a mnemonic. ROY G. BIV is a mnemonic. "The Bible Interprets Itself"...not a mnemonic.

`If it wasn't been for that pesky determinism thing, you could have just believed for a new one. (I mean, if you wanted to.)

Hello, Roy, I don't hate you.

Suzy Creamcheese, oh mama now What's got into ya?

If only he'd left a literal translation according to usage. Maybe a word study will solve the mystery.

Yeah, but bass players MAKE the rules. (Ok, drummers get a vote on them, too.)

Hiya, Mike. Uhhm....You do know that cult and occult aren't the same thing, right?

This isn't about who was and who wasn't in the Corps, it's about how VPW laced his doctrinal stew with ingredients culled from the occult. That story about a mother's fear being responsible for her little boy's death? Straight out of the occult. The red drapes and camera analogy? Occult. "What you're confessing is what you're possessing."? Yep... occult. This isn't complicated. It's about as straightforward as you can get. And where will you find evidence of this stuff? Well, what do you know, right there in the collaterals. Oh, but wait a minute, I thought the collaterals were divinely inspired. Gimme a break.
-
Well, at least that lady got the red drapes she wanted. So, there's that.

Ditto on "the law of believing".
