Well, it seems I have failed at this again as these songs, unlike "name that tune", are supposed to scream at you from just one line. And this one does scream, but not in the way I thought it did. Anyway, here's the next line. If this doesn't do it I'll post the answer. "I just want our love to last."

Wow!! Thanks, a la P. It takes a certain kind of deliberate stylistic restraint to pull that song off successfully.(IMO) She did that and then some. And, the pure tone quality of her voice is wonderful. I hope she continues on with her musical pursuits. The music world is desperately lacking that special something that comes out in her voice.

Mike has stated: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes a private definition of a word like this becomes so popular outside it original private setting that it gets "officially" entered into a dictionary or two. In 1969 I once sat in the office of a man who did this very thing. He actually invented a word for his professional discussions. I think I read once, or maybe he told me personally, that he used a term that had fallen out of use for many decades so he REDEFINED it the way he wanted to help him discuss the complex idea with which this new word was to be associated. That word was "paradigm" and I literally saw it being born. I think the same thing will soon happen to the word "confabulation," given the stature of the scientists that use it this way. It will soon mean an idea that includes normal evil lying, but also will include many more items that do not have that moral baggage. When I say "many" I mean hundreds, literally hundreds." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From dictionary.com 6 results for: paradigm Sponsored Links English Dictionary Looking for English Dictionary?

[Origin: 1475–85; < LL paradīgma < Gk parádeigma pattern (verbid of paradeiknýnai to show side by side), equiv. to para- para-1 + deik-, base of deiknýnai to show (see deictic) + -ma n. suffix] —Synonyms 2. mold, standard; ideal, paragon, touchstone.

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This par·a·digm Audio Help (pār'ə-dīm', -dĭm') Pronunciation Key n. 1. One that serves as a pattern or model. 2. A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb. 3. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. [Middle English, example, from Late Latin paradīgma, from Greek paradeigma, from paradeiknunai, to compare : para-, alongside; see para-1 + deiknunai, to show; see deik- in Indo-European roots.] Usage Note: Paradigm first appeared in English in the 15th century, meaning "an example or pattern," and it still bears this meaning today: Their company is a paradigm of the small high-tech firms that have recently sprung up in this area. For nearly 400 years paradigm has also been applied to the patterns of inflections that are used to sort the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech of a language into groups that are more easily studied. Since the 1960s, paradigm has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework, as when Nobel Laureate David Baltimore cited the work of two colleagues that "really established a new paradigm for our understanding of the causation of cancer." Thereafter, researchers in many different fields, including sociology and literary criticism, often saw themselves as working in or trying to break out of paradigms. Applications of the term in other contexts show that it can sometimes be used more loosely to mean "the prevailing view of things." The Usage Panel splits down the middle on these nonscientific uses of paradigm. Fifty-two percent disapprove of the sentence The paradigm governing international competition and competitiveness has shifted dramatically in the last three decades.

Confabulation is not a "fancier" name for lying. http://www.skepdic.com/confab.html

In other words, you can't do it.

Cut to the chase Mike. Either post the 22 statements and why they are God Breathed or stop insisting we believe you "just because you said so". If you're worried about copyright infringement, I would hope after all this time you would know how to handle that.

Can you show me how you arrived at that conclusion?

Mike, it's a totally moot point. If you use Fromm's words, without citation, as if they were your own, that plagiarism. If I then use your words, using Fromm's words,as if they were my own, without citation, that's plagiarism. If someone else uses my words using your words using Fromm's words, as if they were their own, without citation, that's still plagiarism. It's like painting a wall. It doesn't matter how many coats you put on or what colors they are, the wall is still there beneath it all. Wierwille was a two bit huckster. A clever one, perhaps, but still a huckster. Your "benefit" statement is purely fabricated speculation. I propose you compile a complete list of these so-called God Breathed statements in one concise and easy to view format and then post it here for perusal. Surely if they are God Breathed the whole World ought to have the right to see them.

In this dirty old part of the city where the sun refuse to shine, people say there ain't no use even tryin'

Maybe I'm missing something. What is there about the subject of plagiarism that precludes its discussion in a public forum?

Heart Of Worship-------Matt Redman Oops. Didn't see Socks' post.

Not that I know much about computers but don't most of the new ones come with a bunch of stuff already built in? Anyway, it was my pleasure to post that song. It's definitely in the "goosebump" category.

Hi, Roy It's always nice to hear from you. It won't be long before the landscape is teeming with blossoming flowers and the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle fills the evening air. The songs of spring peepers and tree frogs will sound like a symphony in contrast to the stillness of winter's dark and silent nights, signaling the birth of a new and bright spring. As for me, I think maybe that's what "the voice of God" is all about. Holy hugs to you, Bro. waysider

Well you know, Brushstroke, you can have the answers to all those questions and more. You do want answers, don't you? Just sign this "green card". Heck, when you've graduated from the PLAF class, you'll know that you know that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt. Your pen or mine? Here's a thread that discusses the infamous "Green Card". http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=15335

I could be mistaken on this but it seems to me that I bought a replacement "Orange Book" or two directly from the TWI bookstore in the mid to late 1970's. Sale was limited to "grads only".

Here is a link to that book as well as other B.G. Leonard materials http://www.ctcoftexas.com/books.html

Hey, Oldies Have you ever bothered to even read some of the articles here that discuss discrepancies in how some of the scriptures in the foundational class were interpreted and used? Just wonderin'.

Begging your pardon, WTH That's really a wheel barrow full of vegetable nutrients. Plagiarism is not defined by whether or not you make any monetary gain. A monetary gain is only relevant in determining whether or not punitive legal action is warranted. One does not need to sell a high school term paper in the "marketplace", for example, for it to be considered plagiarism It only needs to satisfy the identifying criteria. Failure to make an improperly cited work available publicly does not absolve the writer of the impropriety. The knowledge in PFAL was not "common" knowledge. In fact, Wierwille's contention was that it promised to reveal "the greatest secret in the World today". The knowledge in PFAL was so UN-common, said Wierwille, no one had even known about it for 2,000 years until it was revealed to him. And, he said, it was only given to him on the condition that he teach it to others. Do you need to "teach" people that which is considered common knowledge? I doubt that many writers have difficulty recognizing whether or not something they have written is common knowledge. Another fallacy here is that Public Domain works are somehow "up for grabs'. Some of my own copyrighted materials have gone into PD as a result of the amount of time that has elapsed. You are free to use them. I can not control how you do that. BUT, you must cite them as Public Domain. But the really big issue with PD here is that, once something goes into Public Domain, no one can copyright it again, not even the author. If these works were in PD when Wierwille secured copyrights, he had no right to do so. Now, maybe some of these laws have changed over the years, I don't know. But I doubt they would have changed in favor of plagiarism.

Remember in PFAL(filmed in 1967) how VPW was teaching about the second coming and he finished the teaching with "He's coming back as King of King and Lord of Lords. He's coming back as Lord God Almighty!!"? In the instructors manual(circa 1971 or 1972) there were instructions to gloss over it and "spin" it by saying "He was so wrapped up in the emotion of the subject, he simply made a mistake." That's not the exact wording but it IS the general instruction we were given to deal with the situation. I recall someone asking why, if he made a mistake he didn't just redo the session once it was realized. The answer was that the teaching was a special one-time event and could not be duplicated "spiritually". HUH???

Is your confidence in God's ability really that shallow? If He really wants to "find" you, He doesn't need Wierwille or anyone else to show Him where you are.
