  1. I'm curious what you make of this: A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach...I Timothy 3:2
  2. Ok, so while we're still off topic, I'll toss this in. A lot of us learned to play bass, back in the day, on cheap six string rigs. I never did any mods or anything like that, but, yeah, we just played the bass parts on regular old guitars until we could afford the real thing. Sure, it sounded just as thin as you would expect, but, hey, it sounded ok in the basement and it was the height of the Little Black Egg era. Know what I'm sayin'? I gave up a lot of my musical activity to focus on "the ministry". Life is full of regrets, but that's Ok. You have to "keep on keepin' on" and not allow them to drag you down.
  3. Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by. It's so hard to make every note bend just right. You lay down the hours and leave not one trace, But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place.
  4. Yes, I heard him teach that live at the AC. I'm not sure, but it must have been in his teaching on word of knowledge. He also taught, in the discerning of spirits session, I think, that he could tell if someone was born again of the devil because he could see a black heart in them. (white=holy spirit/black=seed of satan/nothing=unbeliever)
  5. And so, the cycle of giving and receiving perpetuates.
  6. My granddaughter, Clara Belle (that's short for Helen.), said, "Geeze, Grampaw, don't you guys know nothin'? Sickness comes from cooties." That girl has a mind of her own.
  7. Of course, but when new students are present we have to act excited. "If I act excited, I'll be excited."
  8. Yes, an Intermediate Class syllabus. At one time, those sessions were part of the foundational class and referred to as session 13. It was like an unlisted bonus track on a CD. It was optional and attendance was not required for you to be to be considered a PFAL grad. It didn't follow session 12 immediately, though, like the other sessions. I seem to recall there was a short period between the two (maybe a week or two) and then the material was covered in two sessions that were unofficially called the T.I.P. class. This is where the concept of excellor sessions was introduced. I'm not sure if it had any official, printed material to accompany it other that a sheet of scripture references.. Later, it was spun off into a three session class with the same material and had its own printed syllabus. You had to pay extra for that class, even if you had already taken the T.I.P. class. It was required for admittance into the A.C. (Advanced Class). There was also material that dealt with being born again of the seed of the devil. This was in the second of the two sessions. That was dropped completely and showed up again in the A.C. I may be fuzzy on some of the details, but that's how I wound up with this syllabus.
  9. I don't have a transcript, but I do have a '71 syllabus.
  10. Something about spiritual mashed potatoes errr ...somethin'. "I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises All lies and jest Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest, mhmm"...Paul Simon (The Boxer)
  11. Why would you need to practice tongues if it's supposedly perfect?
  12. Baseball cards in bicycle spokes do not a motorcycle make.
  13. We did our work assignments after dinner but before night twig. So, from 6PM to 10PM, give or take, unless it was FellowLaborer group meeting night. (Usually on Wednesdays)
  14. Sorry, Sir. I'm all out of Lo Shantas. Could I interest you in previously owned Lo Maka Seetay, perhaps?
  15. Well, let's see now. On a typical day, we had a believers' meeting before the 6 AM run, another at breakfast, another at dinner, another at the end of work time, another at night twig, another at end-of-day house meeting..... So,Yeeeaaah...Nope! I don't think there was any discernable lack of "fluency". lo maka seetay, y'all.
  16. 35. Glorifies the "virtues" of stretched coffee.
  17. "Number 3 looks a little less scientific than the first two." This doesn't mean personal, subjective agreement. It means the sources are objectively in agreement with each other
  18. PROJECT UPDATE 1972: Alpha testing begins. 2022: Beta testing begins. 2072: Projected release date
  19. The other day, I saw a guy banging his head against the wall. "Sir", I said, "That looks horribly painful." "Oh, it is, it really is'.", he assured me. "Why, then, do you continue to do it?" , I questioned. "Well", he said, "It just feels so darn good when I stop."
  20. I'm struggling with a question I hope you can answer, Mike. How's come you were so smart 50 years ago and we were all so dumb?
