"God won't spit in your direction unless----" "You'll be a grease spot by midnight if you ever -------" Nope. No extortion there.

Well, now. Are we sure they're false claims? Are you assuming the person is guilty of making false claims? Shouldn't we presume they are innocent of your charges? Sounds to me like a rush to judgment.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to mention PASMOS. My bad.

Does this innocence thing hold up in Mexico? How about Brazil? Australia? New Zealand? Canada? The U.K.? This isn't a U.S. court, it's the "World Wide Web". Get it? World wide. Opinions from around the globe.

"Internet court of guilt" HaHaHaHaHa! I'll have to google that one and see what comes up. HaHaHaHaHa!

Why not just say you worshiped the sorry S.O.B. I don't think anyone would press you to "prove" it.

Now that Valentine's Day is past, perhaps some will be singing THIS.

I'm wondering where Don got the tan. Must be from working the fields at The Kipp Farm.

QUOTE (waysider @ Feb 6 2009, 08:45 AM) * Wierwille wasn't fundamentally all that different from the fraudulent psychic mediums and mentalists of his day. Except, instead of claiming to be channeling the spirit of dearly departed Aunt Mildred, he claimed to be channeling the spirit of God Almighty, himself. God, after all, tends to lend a bit more credibility than dear Aunt Mildred. Frame57 replied: Serious? He never ever ever claimed that. That is a fabrication. In fact his view of the holy spirit was quite the opposite of how most Pentecostals view it as channeling. He argued against the mainstream because no body gets possessed by the holy spirit. He side with leonard in that the manifestations of holy spirit are "God given abilities.." Plain and simple. Dude! Where do get this stuff or do just make it up? ************** The Way---Living in Love page 178 "I was praying. And I told Father outright that He could have the whole thing, unless there were genuine answers that I would never have to back up on. "And that's when He spoke to me audibly, just like I'm talking to you now. He said He would teach me the Word as it had not been known since the first century if I would teach it to others. "Well, I nearly flew off my chair. I couldn't believe that God would talk to me." He shakes his head slowly smilng. "It's just too fantastic. People won't believe it. But He spoke to me just as plainly as I'm talking now to you." ************************ You introduced the "possessed" element. It was not in my original quote. (I didn't compare him to The Pentecostals, either.)

What was Jesus Christ's "only rule for faith and practice" ? This ought to be easy------just give a scripture reference and be done with it.

Here's one my sister-in-law made recently for a family gathering. Very tasty and surprisingly easy. CHERRY DUMP CAKE 1 lg. can crushed pineapple 1 can cherry pie filling 1 pkg. yellow cake mix 1 (3 1/2 oz.) can flaked coconut 1 c. pecans, chopped 2 sticks butter, melted Dump pineapple, including juice, into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Spread evenly. Spread the cherry pie filling over the pineapple. Spread DRY cake mix evenly over all. Then sprinkle coconut and nuts over that. Pour melted butter over all. Bake 1 hour in 325 degree oven. Serve with whipped cream.

I never saw a response to this question. Might also be interesting to note that not everyone who posts here is in America.

First there was Apple, next there was Blackberry, now there's-------------Pomegranade

Love Potion #9-------------The Searchers

Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars.

Was Jim Jones ever convicted of his crimes at Jonestown? (He was an American.)

That makes a lot more sense.

"He was a mean man."

It might sit there like a diamond but you'll sit there like a duck.

HERE is the back of the new Lincoln penny.

As long as they still have red drapes, things will probably be OK (I'm believing for it.)

Isn't that essencially what Wierwille did before he broke away from his denomination?

I remember W@tk!ns from FLO. (He was FLO3 ) He and the Mrs. were house leaders their second year. He was in charge of prison outreach for Ohio and she was in charge of childrens fellowships for Ohio. They got lots and lots of preferential treatment and really knew how to milk the system. There was a lot of resentment of them by the FLO4s because, while the W@tk!ns were treated like royalty, the rest of us were treated like serfs. I'm not a bit surprised to learn of the "double dipping". There are other FLO here who may agree or disagree with that assessment. I'm just stating my personal opinion. Sorry---Guess that doesn't have anything to do with CA.
