GreaseSpot is more like a tavern than a cafe, no?

The next time I win the Mega-Lotto, things are gonna be different, I tell ya!!!

Larry This is a simple statement of fact. Rather than assign a personal aspect to it and then try to assert that the man is not fulfilling his ministry, why not deal with that statement first and calmly explain why you disagree with it?

Well, let's see now. 1. Believing works for saint and sinner alike. ------------BUT---------------------- 2. You didn't get what you were believing for because you were out of fellowship. (I was going to put more space in between those two statements but it seemed like they were already miles apart.)

Man, you said a mouthful-----------

Ummm? Mr. Oldiesman, sir? How exactly does a sinner have faith in God?

Mars.

A.D. I have an XM boombox at work. I listen to it through the day while I'm working but I don't focus my attention on it. I also just bought a new tuner that I keep in my pick-up truck. It cost me a whopping $38 at Wally-Mart. It has everything needed to listen to XM. It takes about 5 minutes(max.) to hook up. You can also stream it on your computer if that's more your style. They have over 100 music channels(no commercials). They have channels that are decade specific.(40s/50s/60s/70s,etc.) as well as channels that are genre specific(folk/bluegrass/classic country/ modern country/blues/ modern jazz/old school jazz, etc.) The 60s channel is pretty cool because they have an actual DJ come on between songs just like in the 60s. Plus, they air Wolf Man Jack shows. You can give it a free test ride if you want. Google xmradio.com and you can get info on how to do it. I've had it for quite a while and regular radio seems really lame when I try to listen to it. Beware, though, there is no censorship but they will block any channel you ask them to.

Thanks, Raf!

Dang! I'm at the computer that won't let me listen to this. Gonna have a listen first chance I get!

Is it possible that he was so entrenched in his "culture" that he simply did not realize it is illegal? Personally, I don't think so!!! Ignorance of the law is no excuse. I did not see the show mentioned. I think Whoopie needs to make it clear, though, whether she was "defending" or just offering an "explanation" of this culture.

Hi there, Bolski. Nothin' new to add, really. Just wanted to pop in and say-----

Hi, Roses There are a number of reasons, actually. One of the reasons is because Google is such a powerful tool and easily accessible. Let's say, for example, that you used your actual name here. Through the power of Google, someone may find your posts here and deduce that you were involved with a cult in the past. For some people, that could be problematic if they were , let's say, being scrutinized for employment purposes. Also, if your post revealed that you were privy to information that was relevant to an ongoing lawsuit, you might be called on to appear in court. These are just a couple examples. There are many variations of the above. It gets even trickier when the person's identity being revealed is someone other than yourself who would prefer to remain anonymous. Anyhow, if you use symbols like @ instead of a, people will be able to figure out your intended word or name. Hope that sheds some light on it.

Hi, busyMomma I doubt you are the only one, but there are lots of people who don't know about GSC or don't have access to a computer. I'm a good 2 1/2 hrs. to your N.E. Shoot me a PM if you are ever headed for CapCity.

Yeah. Me Too. Now that I have XM, though, I'm catching up fast.

Hmmmm. Oh, almost forgot, I thought it was really good stuff, too.

Well now, I suppose that would depend on where in the context you intend to place it. Just kiddin'. It's "wear". Everybody's heard About the bird The bbbird bird bird The bird is the word---------------

Don't be a stranger, John. Come back and visit sometime. And bring some more of your wife's sweet music with you if you do come back. (Pretty please?)

It's always been my personal theory that "working hands" may have contributed to rise in popularity with slide and bottleneck playing, as well as open tunings. My problem, though, is that it's the fingers on my picking hand that go numb and since I use a finger rocking style, it's a bummer. Maybe I could learn to use a pick but I really don't like the thin tone it produces. I think maybe I'll try some of that Glucowhatzit, too.

That Marc Cohn tune is a great song. I looked for it on youtube but the only place I could find it, it was being used as background music for someones personal montage. I didn't think it would be appropriate to bring something that was meant for a limited audience to GS. Still, if someone wanted to check out the song, it's there on youtube.

Forget about the "black fly in your Chardonnay", That's ironic!!

I appreciate the compliment, AnotherDan, though I don't see myself as being any smarter or wiser than anyone else here. (I just happen to save old books and notes that come in handy for reference.) Thanks for the dinner invitation but I'm sure it would be very, very cold by the time I got there.

No, John, I don't believe I have the "spirit of error". As a matter of clarification, might I point out this post was directed toward me? I deduced that because the first sentence in the post contains a quote of something I said in an earlier post. According to page 20 in the 1971 AC syllabus, the "spirit of error" is a spirit that causes one to be accident prone, facilitates deception, and causes one to be wrong in their "believing". Some of the scripture references given were: I John 4:6/ Revelation 12:9/ Matthew 24:24/ II John 7. What I find curiously interesting is that on this very same page is a description and scripture references for a spirit called "spirit of leviathan" which supposedly is responsible for alcoholism. How does one manage to find "spirit of error" on this page and completely miss "spirit of leviathan"? Does one simply "cherry pick" the sections that they like and ignore the rest? That, in itself, would seem a bit deceptive to me. edited to change "a" spirit of error to "the" spirit of error in an effort maintain the integrity of the post I quoted.

I walked past an oldfashioned hardware store the other day and there was a sign in the window that said, "Cast iron sinks" Well shoot!! Who didn't already know THAT?

Larry I'm just curious why, if you, yourself, are *over it* and *healed*, you feel so compelled to stick around and continue to post the kinds of things you post. I don't think the Welcome greeting is a bunch of BS. The rules seem quite reasonable to me. Of course, that's just my opinion. I also don't believe this thread was started as an effort to insult newbies. Many newbies take some time and review the editorials and other documents that are here before they start participating in discussions. I could be mistaken, but when I initially suggested that you consider doing that, you scoffed at the idea. I'm not angry with you, brother, just puzzled why anyone would keep coming back to a place they find objectionable.
