In my opinion, we are in a bit of a pickle on the wording here because we have to define: 1.)Doctrine that is in question 2.)"The Truth" OK -------for the sake of simplicity, let's just say "the Truth" refers to what most of us believe to be somewhat accurate according to what we have been taught. To this we add those things we have sought out ourselves to either confirm or refute those teachings. So here goes: "The more one speaks in tongues,the more revelation is given" Total rubbish. There are people who spoke in tongues until they were blue in the face who wouldn't know God's voice if He shouted in both ears at the same time. Likewise there are people who have never even heard of speaking in tongues who have clearly heard the "voice" of God and have responded. Doctrine of TWI: SIT much or God won't talk to you. The Truth : God "talks" to whoever He knows will listen.(and that's no SIT!)

I don't know if it is true but I also remember hearing that a "time capsule" was built into the structure. I may have heard it at the same time and place as WG. Maybe someone will find it when the building is razed someday and they "roll away" the debris. So many meetings and announcements,who could keep track?

Wasway----------I know what you mean about Bernie writing all of them but he actually did not write this one. By the time ole "what's his name" got a hold of it, it had already been covered several time by people more famous than him. When my dad tended bar in the early 60's there were three songs that played almost constantly on the jukebox: "Crazy"(Patsy Cline), "Paper Roses"(Connie Francis) and this one which went on to being named in the Country Hall of Fame as one of the top songs of all time.

Practical,everyday stuff. Proverbs has countless examples. I've heard Proverbs referred to as "Words to live by". I don't know if that is an accurate translation but the concept is expressed in that phrase. You don't have to be a Christian or have any special belief system to make the wisdom in Proverbs come to life for you. Here's an example: "A soft answer turns away wrath.(grievous words stir up strife)." Anyone who works with the public can attest to the value of that little gem. Is that an example of God helping you? Well, He was,after all, the author.

Sorry-------I thought it was still Wasway's turn since I didn't actually say: KICK OUT THE JAMS!(Brothers and Sisters )------MC5 Whisper to me ,tell me do you love me true, Or is he holding you the way I do? Though love is blind, make up your mind. I've got to know.

Roy said: "Know what you have in Christ and take care of this spiritual love by loving one another." Pretty hard to argue with that advise. Thanks, Roy.

Thanks for bringing back some really great memories. O.K.------Gotta go now. --------Got something in my eye.

Dadgum whippersnappers today wouldn't know Ted Nugent if they had him in the crosshairs of a crossbow! SIGH!----------What's next?

"Old person here" Did you post that or did I?

AHH!----------Those Euclid Ave. memories! I think I saw Moody Blues there when "Go Now" was their big hit. It cost all of a buck. Saw King Crimson across the street at what was maybe called The Palace. Does that name seem correct? Ever go to The Corral? I played in a band that had the Saturday night gig there. We weren't very good but we sure had fun and we put alot of "Soul" into everything we did as if there was actually a purpose to it.

Wasway--------I don't consider myself to be a hard core rocker, just someone who grew up too close to the Detroit music scene to not know this one. I'm going to kick it back out to my brothers and sisters so they can jam on it awhile.

Are you ready to sit by His throne? Are you ready not to be alone? Someone's comin' to take you home. If you're ready he will carry you home YES! YES! I'm ready! Pacific Gas and Electric The guitarist was Glenn Schwartz(his brother is Gene S.) Wasway____You are quick on the draw! Lay it on us.

Once when I was in my teens, I confided in my Dad that I had thought about suicide. He looked me in the eye and quietly said:" It would break your mother's heart." That was all he said. It was all he needed to say. Suddenly it was no longer about me but about someone else who meant a great deal to me. I've often wondered if those words weren't divinely inspired.

Brothers and sisters I have many Stumbling along to do their thing. Love is a song, it's better than any It's better for music, it's easy to sing. Here's a clue -------The lead guitarist in this group left his original band to join this one. His original group was The James Gang and his replacement was Joe Walsh. He and his brother(who plays bass) are still very active in the music business.

Bluzeman-----------I have a card up my sleeve on this one because I grew up in his hometown. It was Screamin' Jay Hawkins. He was well known for outlandish behaviour and wild costumes. We tried to do this tune(I Put a Spell on You) in a garage band I was in . The screaming part was easy but the rhythm idiosyncrasies are much more difficult to duplicate than they sound. Rumour has it he was drunk as a skunk when he recorded it. Now as to the second one-------Are those lyrics from the beginning,the middle or the end?

It might modulate to the key of F if "one" of the tires happened to "be flat".

Sogwap 51----------Wish I Knew what to say to make things better. Is your feeling this way related to a specific incident or situation or is it a general overall feeling? Incidents pass and situations change. If you can't put your finger on the cause, it might be time to see someone professional who knows how to help. I 'm praying for you on this end.

dmiller---------I just now saw you post on the W.O.W. "blob" thread and it made me think of something I heard on the radio today. Pappa John Creach doing "Pappas' Blues". Man! The raw feeling that man could coax out of his instrument is beyond words. It sure made me wish I knew how to play the fiddle.

Watered Garden-----------Geez ! I remember that basement incident like it was yesterday! 50 people sitting cross-legged on a cold basement floor at 5:30 AM in total silence. I was always the breakfast person in every house I was in so I was always anxious for the meeting to end so we could run our mile and get breakfast served. (proper etiquette at all times,of course ) I was trying to remember how many meetings per week we had and I came up with about 25 per week. Does that sound about right to you? Do you remember all the formalities that went into the evening meal? Legalism was alive and well even back in those early days.

I said a little prayer for you(plural). I hope you don't mind.

Splinter---------------A thin piece of something split off lengthwise. HMMMMMM!

I guess you just never know with old guitars. My buddy( "Dial This") rescued an old axe that had been in a flood. It was in the original case but the case sacrifised its' life to save the instrument. It is a Micro-Frets Spacetone (with a whammy bar) finished in a Martian Sunrise. I had never heard of them. There were only a handfull produced. What sets them apart is that instead of having one nut for six strings, each string has its' own adjustable nut. When it has been properly tuned there is a hold-down bar that locks it all in. It doesn't give a rat's patooty how many times or how aggressively you use the whammy bar, it stays in tune. It's great for that pedal steel kinda stuff and works for Ventures tunes as well. I did a bit of research and found a whole bunch of really well known guys who have used them.(Mark Farner had two custom editions commissioned) They are not worth a boat load of money( especially if the original case is gone) and that is my point. As a financial investment it is probably a waste of time to look for one. As a guitar that can bring its' own very unique personality to the party, it is priceless.

Here's my 2 cents Start one up and if it gets ugly pretend it's a twiggy who doesn't ABS and refuses to go WOW. (kick it to the side of the road.)

Spudster-----------I have no idea if it's evil but I am sure it is futile. It also has no effect on a garden rake or weed wacker.

"Poop on a stick"! Don't leak this idea out to the the State Fair people. It's liable to catch on on be the "big stink " at next year's fair. :)
