Here are the principles listed at the SOWERS web site. http://sowersonline.com/contactus.aspx

Here's Muddy with Sonny Boy II---Check out Willie Dixon on the upright.

I stand corrected. The harmonica player in my last post is the late Terry Lee McMillan. (The clip is 16 years old) Sorry for the incorrect info. BTW--- That last Chet A. clip was Awesome!

Let's all take our String Along the Way books and turn to "Stranded On The Premises". Straaanded Straaanded---- Come on everybody, sing with me! Cookies?? No problem. Just reach up in the horn of plenty cookie jar. HaHaHaHaHa!! I sure do love ya, Oldies. Yer the best! And now let's dig deep into our pockets and take up a "love offering" for that vintage Indian motorcycle I've been lusting after that would "bless" me so much. Maybe I should just bang my head against the wall. At least I know it'll feel good to quit.

I'd like to see the part of VPW played by Divine. (Yeah, I know he's dead but this is fantasy.) Maybe Howard could be played by Pee Wee H3rman. "He He---He He---I meant to do that"

Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Pat Bergeron.----Don't Think Twice

Well, OK, I know this is a bit of a de-rail but here is Arlo Guthrie singing The Motorcycle Song.

Not sure if I ever mentioned this before but the man was a huckster and a common con man. It's comical, really, comparing him to someone of Biblical stature.

Apples and oranges? More like comparing the Son of God and other Biblical figures to a delusional, amoral, drunken con man who made absolutely no lasting impact on the history of The World aside from those folks who were touched by his so-called "ministry". Comparing "this stuff never happened" to "the act of forgiveness" is the real apples and oranges in this discussion.

I don't want a pickle.

I, too, remember hearing that explanation of doulos. (ie; the 7 years, earring, etc.) Doing a very quick check here, I see that duolos does not seem to appear at all in the OT. It is used predominantly in the Gospels. I find myself wondering if, perhaps, that teaching about "free slaves" didn't originate in some of the Orientalisms material. It might be interesting to see if that description is indeed accurate or has any application to the body of Christ in this day and time.

I know it's ELP but I can't recall the title right now.

I think that pretty much says it for me as well.

I don't think I REALLY left mentally until I came here and found out what had been going on. Until then, I was completely in the dark about much of it. Physically, I left drifted away in about 1990 or 91.

Sounds like a plenty good enough reason to me. :)

I'm drawing a blank on this one.

When I was very "new in the Word", I went witnessing with a local leader(male) in a nearby bar. As we sat at a table, witnessing to two attractive young ladies, he brought up the subject of "believing". At one point, he turned to one of the young ladies and said, "believing is a verb and a verb connotes ACTION!". I don't know what ACTION means in other parts of the country, but it has a rather provocative connotation where I am from. It was rather amusing to watch him try to bring the conversation back to the Bible.

Nice stuff, A la I enjoyed that one a lot. Thx

Calling all fellow laborers. Can you think of one single time that VPW came to a FL night or visited our housing or came to limb to observe our work progress or did a phone hook-up thing or sent some kind of written communication expressing his awareness of our efforts? He was only about 2 hours away. He could have even flown into that little airport on Rt 42 in Ambassador One if he wanted to. Maybe he did. I don't know. It sure wasn't in the 3 years I spent there, though. But, hey!! I forgive him (for failing to even acknowledge our existence.) And you know why? 'Cause he was such a swell guy!!!! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!

Thanks for that info, washn'wear. I haven't stopped by the home page for a while. (Guess I should have, huh?) That's some sickening information. There is no honor among thieves. I was long gone by that time.(1998) I was really thinking more along the lines of the time frame that encompassed all the conspiracy theories. (mid 1970's). That's when VP "allegedly" (trying to keep everybody happy here) had a direct and personal relationship with Liberty Lobby. I know TWI was very secretive with their financial records so it might be impossible to ever know unless there is something in LL's records to make the connection.(Don't know how secretive they were in that regard.) But it would really frost me to find out the sacrifices I made were supporting an organization that was so extremely contrary to my personal beliefs. That would certainly qualify as a hoax. Not psychological, perhaps, but very cruel and ironic.

Remember when transistor radios hit the market?If you held it just right you could get a station to come in clear as a bell.Maybe it was the first place you heard Aretha Franklin or Dion or Sam & Dave.Here's Mighty Mike Schermer remembering what it was like.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpLULfeNmmc

I heard Ted B^ndy was a real swell fella, too.

So sorry for your loss, Jeff. He sounds like he was quite a guy. waysider

HeeHee Yeah, Zep really just took old blues tunes(Lot's of Muddy Waters/Willie Dixon stuff) and "electrified" them. Muddy did a psychodelic album of his own back in 1968, that blows the young up and comers clean out of the water in terms of what you could do with the blues to modernize it. It was called Electric Mud. It was only about 40 minutes long and sold a grand total of about 100,00 copies.(Quite a feat for a blues album) One of the guys from Zep even said this album inspired Black Dog. Included on the album is a cover of The Stones' tune Let's Spend The Night Together. It's so powerful, if you ever hear it, you will always want to giggle when you hear Mick doing his own song. Muddy hated this album because it was impossible to duplicate in a live setting which is where he spent most of his time. 'nother big influence for Zep was Spirit. Listen to Taurus sometime and it will forever change the way you hear Stairway To Heaven. I read here quite a bit but can't do much aside from youtube stuff. Always a very enjoyable place to visit.
