  1. It's really nothing more than another recipe for mind over emotion. (With a little God tossed in the chili pot.) ------------------------------------------------------------- Me thinks old "Doc" was not such a good "cook", eh?
  2. I googled it. I guess I should have known it. (Lord knows I'm old enough!) *Sigh*
  3. Is there a link for that? I'm just curious how it reads.
  4. Here's a way to do the birthday thing: ---------------------------- Year + Year/4(ignore decimal) + Day + SV ______________________ -----------7----------- SV Table(Significant Value) ----------- Jan=0-------------July =6 Feb=3-------------August=2 March=3----------Sept.=5 April=6-----------Oct.=0 May=1------------Nov.=3 June=4-----------Dec.=5 So----- here's an example: 10/11/1940(use only the last two digits of the year) 40+10(because that is 40/4)+ 11 + 0 __________________________________ =8 with a remainder of 5 ---------------7-------------------------------- The remainder tells you the day of the week, using this chart: 0=Sun. 1=Mon. 2=Tues. 3=Wed. 4=Thurs. 5=Fri. 6=Sat. Thus, 10/11/1940 was a Friday. Note Dividing by 4 adjusts for leap year. Dividing by 7 adjusts for the number of days in a week -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That little trick is in one of the "Human Calculator" lessons that Scott Flansburg did a few years ago
  5. Yeah, sure, that's what they all say. Next thing you know, you find out they've really run away to join the circus and are spending their days hauling water to the pachy-derms. So, get those elephants watered and fed and hurry on back here just as soon as you can!! That's an order, Missy! xxxooo
  6. Maybe we should have given him The Key To The Highway.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-EilP59o_g...feature=related
  7. Now there's a thought. They gave him a key to the city. That's a pretty noteworthy news event. I'll bet it's a piece of cake to research the Jabalpur Daily Gazette from 1/23/1955.
  8. E. Stanley Jones From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other persons named Stan or Stanley Jones, see Stan Jones (disambiguation). E. Stanley Jones E. Stanley Jones E. (Eli) Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was a 20th century Methodist Christian missionary and theologian.

Simon P. C. John This box: view • talk • edit He is remembered chiefly for his interreligious lectures to the educated classes in India, thousands of which were held across the Indian subcontinent during the first decades of the 20th century. According to his and other contemporary reports, his friendship for the cause of Indian self-determination allowed him to become friends with leaders of the up-and-coming Indian National Congress party. He spent much time with Mahatma Gandhi, and the Nehru family. Gandhi challenged Jones and, through Jones' writing, the thousands of Western missionaries working there during the last decades of the British Raj, to include greater respect for the mindset and strengths of the Indian character in their work. This effort to contextualize Christianity for India was the subject of his seminal work, The Christ of the Indian Road (ISBN 0-687-06377-9), which sold more than 1 million copies worldwide after its publication in 1925. He is also the founder of the Christian Ashram movement. He is sometimes considered the "Billy Graham of India". [edit] Writings A unique feature of some of his books (eg, Abundant Living, ©1942) is that while they could be read from beginning to end as normal, they were presented in the format of a page-a-day daily reading featuring a Bible reference, a page of his writing, and a concluding sentence or phrase for meditation. These are the British publishers' titles; American titles may be different.

  9. Hiya, DWBH Just wondering if you wanted to "dedicate" that last number to anyone in particular. ;)
  10. Sorry.That one might be too obscure.Can someone else take the next one?Here's the answer-------
  11. doojable Posted Today, 01:01 PM Was vp's time in India every recorded anywhere else but in Way propaganda material? The man on the train... "I believe God can heal me but I don't believe in your Jesus..." Did he do this on his own or just follow someone else around and feed off of them? Then there was that casting out of devils session spoken about in the Adv class, involving he and the Missus... IIRC she was the one who realized there was one more left ("We're all gone now!") and she was the one who "found" the spirit of infanticide.... Did it happen? Does anyone have any facts? Or is it all hearsay ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is my suspicion that the India story may be derived from something VPW found in the writings of E. Stanley Jones, who spent many years in India as a minister. I have not read a great deal of Jones' writings, but what I have read bares a striking similarity in content and style to VPW's recounting of his experiences in India. You may recall that it was E. Stanley Jones who is credited with the origin of the quote, "Fear is sand in the machinery of life". Thus, I believe VP was familiar with the contents of the multitude of writings by Jones. Perhaps he discovered something in these writings that he could either use in a wholesale manner or found something he could modify to suit his intentions. I don't have the energy, resources or desire to pursue that possibility to fruition. Personally, I find it adds to the intrigue and mystique of these events, to suggest that they happened in some far away place in another time. It would seem to be almost impossible to prove or disprove. On the other hand, it might be entirely possible to prove or disprove whether or not these stories had their origin with Eli Stanley Jones. The above theory is strictly speculation. edited to add this: It wouldn't surprise me a bit if someone were to come along now and suggest that God "told" VPW to use this material as if it really happened to him personally.
  12. OK---Here's some more blues. Gotta keep it somewhat mainstream. This one's been covered by hundreds of people since Hudson Whittaker(Tampa Red) wrote it back in 1928. Thus, it's gotten lots of airplay and the artist is--------- whoever you prefer. ( My personal favorite is Paul Butterfield, but Clapton did a pretty good version recently as well.) The cops took my baby in. She didn't need no bail. She shook it once for the judge And he put the cops in jail.

  14. Mike Smith, lead singer/ organist for The DC5, has passed away.
  15. No sweat, Neo A big part of the attraction here is the freedom to state your case openly, whether or not anyone agrees. The only caveat is to stay within the framework of the rules. Peace, waysider
  16. Oh my!!I can't pass this one up.Born Under A Bad Sign.Here it is by The Man himself--- Albert King.
  17. WTH The essence of that teaching is that fear, not necessarily terror or horror, but fear, in any form or degree, will result in negative consequences. I increased the font size to emphasize that this is the nucleus around which the lesson was built. The minister's comments at the funeral act as an embellishment, not as a key element. The idea that "the fear of the mother killed the little boy" can be conveyed without ever mentioning that minister. Therefore, it is extraneous. Anyhow, I think what really killed that little boy was seeing how the red drapes clashed with their lavender sofa.
  18. Hi, coolchef There are tons of them on youtube.
  19. Many years ago, I knew a man who became suddenly ill with a somewhat rare and deadly illness. This disease requires prompt medical intervention for the person to stand a chance of survival. Although he was not a "little boy", I think his legacy speaks to this question. According to what I was told, at that time, his demise was the result of "freaking out" about the severity of the condition and a failure to "believe" for healing. You know what killed that man? The attempt to try to change reality by virtue of an insane doctrine called "the law of believing".
