Lindy Maybe you could add "I have since had an AHA! moment." Well, probably not in those exact words. Here's what I mean. Suppose a certain male Limb leader frequently had a female believer stay over for the weekend when his wife was out of town on ministry business. You know, to clean his house,etc. 30+ years ago, we were told it was wrong to consider anything was amiss and we should be ashamed to have such an "unrenewed mind" as to think otherwise. Of course, years later, it is revealed that the Limb leader was a (yet unknown) notorious womanizer. Thus, upon learning such information, one tends to see the little light bulb light up and exclaims---- AHA!!-----maybe it wasn't "unrenewed mind" on my part after all. Just a thought

Hi Rachel Don't know if I have welcomed you yet so here goes---- WELCOME!! That is, indeed, an interesting approach to SIT and TIP. I have heard this tossed around before but don't remember where or when. Personally, I no longer have the motivation to do extensive studies of anything. I will say this, when we spoke in tongues and interpreted (TIP), there was a certain amount of focus that befell us as individuals. ie: "Look,Ma! I'm giving a message from/for God!" (The focus is on me) If it happened the way you are suggesting, the focus is no longer on me or even the hearer, for that matter. The focus would clearly be on God and what He is able to do. From a logical standpoint, that does make more sense than having us be some kind of freak show.

Do you need to make an appointment or does she already know when you will arrive?

Hi JJ (It's easier to type but I'll change it if you don't like it.) The "deleted" reference concerns post #732. Suffice it to say, it involves a situation that occurred before you arrived. If I gave you any more detail than that, you would probably do this:

I was glued to The Winter Classic. Sid "The Kid" Crosby and his Penguins took out the Sabres in a hard fought game that ended in a shootout. 70,000 fans braving 20 degree weather with the wind whipping snow in their faces. That's dedication!! (or insanity---take your pick)

"Fraulein Veysider"--------- Don't supposed you noticed my avatar? (Ya know, a BOY and his dog?) Hey, Bumps, When you get that "cap lock" thing fixed on your keyboard, you might want to have them check out the "word reversal key", too. Looks like it somehow changed the word "good" in Rhino's post to "bad" in your paste. Well, I suppose it might be caused by the "according to current vernacular key", now that I think about it. Hey,now, here's a thought. It says he changed water to wine but doesn't give any indication it was only one type. Maybe there were several varieties represented. I mean, turning water to wine is cool, but turning it into a single variety that pleases the whole crowd would be a true achievement.

Bumpy, Bumpy, Bumpy Don't you "get it"? You can't start a thread, subtitle it "whiners need not apply" and then expect expert "winers" to come to the interview.

Cheer up Chas., only 79 + change to go.(days, that is.)

Mo I can only speak for myself. I sure missed your posts when you weren't around.

Pond The------------ is put there automatically. It separates the text in your post from the text in your "signature". If you click on "My Control Panel" at the top, it will take you to your controls. Once you are there, find "Personal Profile" in the left column. Click on "edit signature" and type in your signature of choice. Then it will put your own "signature" at the end of each post. Is that what you were referring to?

Bumpy Jukin' is what happens at a "juke joint".(that covers a lot of ground, eh?) The "magic land" is a place that only exists in a song. Or is it? ---Hmmmmm? Now the wine----I guess I'll have to blow the dust off my Bible and see what the meal consisted of. Perhaps the clue lies therein. One thing we know for sure is that it wasn't a "vintage" selection.

Happy New Year, Bumpy Yeah, I get what you're sayin' Still, the same argument could probably be made for letters(remember when people wrote on paper?) or for phone conversations.(Hey, it's just some kind of electronic signal that travels through a wire or thin air, in the case of cell phones.) Sure, it's not real but it represents something that is. But hey, If VP said it, that settles it!! Note: No humans (or tigers) were hurt in the typing of this post.

Happy New Year, PB!! (And everybody else, too.)

You are correct, Irisheyes!! The other person who had a hit with it was none other than The Queen of Soul---- Aretha Franklin.

I PM from time to time. Not to hide anything, but because the subject matter doesn't have any interest to the general audience. "Fer in-stance": A while back, another poster, whom I had already met face to face, expressed an interest in a particular guitar technique. I PM'd that poster to exchange addresses for the purpose of loaning out an instructional tape. "Nother example: I've seen 3 or 4 posters here who I was fairly certain I knew from my home town or from FLO, based on things they posted. I PM'd them, told them who I was and caught up on old times. Does the rest of the GSC community really give a rat's butt about our reminiscing? Beyond that kind of thing, I don't really see a whole lot of need to PM. I don't use it a lot but I'm glad it's there to use for that sort of thing. I suppose I could probably do some of that stuff in chat but my computer won't go there for some strange reason. People have been kind in giving me suggestions as to how to fix it but nothing seems to work. HaHaHaHa!----I just realized, they used PM to offer their technical help.

I think he was secretly pledged to the Sacred Order of Balogna Slingers Which, of course, would mean he was a card carrying S.O.B.

Is it Marakesh Express---CS&N?

Turn it on, wind it up, blow it out----------GTO---Ronnie and the Daytonas "Hey, buddy, How do you get this car out of 2nd gear?"

I have to work today. Can someone take my turn, please?

Nope. Sounds good, though. PS---- Outfield, I'm still looking for those booklets. I'll PM you if I find them.
