Interpretation is in the ear, not the mouth.

I like that link chockfull. Very cool. http://www.bombaxo.com/paulchron.html It has me thinking these letters took more then just a few minutes to write. Maybe even decades.

Who said that? Not me. If any think I did.

from post #1 I see that question being explored. And you sending those who are exploring it away from this thread. It's not your thread. Nor do you even know much about the topic. I will post or listen to others as I choose in this thread and others.

yeah, that and these rules man's "logic" will never figure out tongues-EVER

I can speak English and you may not understand what I'm saying. Or think I'm saying something I'm not saying. Same with hearing, and mostly internalized. Someone can hear something in what is being said as well. And get something out of it that was not initially intended, good or bad. That's, in part where the spirit works. There are no accidents, by the way, all of it works for those who love god.

Rules In an effort to clarify the original rules, we have expanded them with specific items. I will be putting them up on the main site, but wanted you to have a chance to view them. Welcome to the GreaseSpot Café Forums! The forums are for the purpose of discussing The Way International (TWI)--and many other topics of interest. While our mission is to tell "the other side of the story" about TWI, we recognize that posters' opinions about their TWI experience range from pro to con to somewhere in between. We welcome them all. The GSC Forum Rules Be courteous, and please don't make it personal. Remember, others feel as strongly about their opinions as you do about yours. It's okay to disagree, but when doing so, criticize the message, not the messenger. For example, "I remember that event differently," is appropriate; "you're an idiot" is not. Also, don't assume someone is calling you a liar just because he/she disagrees with you. Please do not engage in insulting behavior, personal attacks, and inflammatory language. This includes: calling fellow posters names accusing them of "needing a therapist/shrink/meds" labeling others with terms such as "Wierwille apologist" or "perpetual victim" distorting another poster's name to insult or ridicule making disparaging remarks about fellow posters' character, motives, intelligence, religious beliefs (or lack thereof), or life outside these forums. Implying negatives about fellow posters is also not acceptable. Be aware that sarcasm toward another poster can quickly turn a discussion into a flame war. And by the way, "He hit me first" didn't work with your mom, and it won't work here. We disapprove of comments that stifle discussion or label a particular viewpoint as unwelcome. Such comments hinder thoughtful and open discussions. Do not accuse fellow posters of being "trolls." If you suspect someone is trolling, PM the moderators; please don't start a thread about it. Do not "stalk" another poster from thread to thread to perpetuate an earlier disagreement (but don't accuse someone of stalking if he/she just happens to disagree with you often). Do not talk negatively about a fellow poster in a thread where he or she is not participating or start a new thread to "call out" that person. Do not challenge a fellow poster's personal recollections of his/her TWI experience. People deserve the freedom to share how TWI affected their lives and should not have to fear interrogation or feel pressured to "prove the unprovable." Generalizations about how TWI affected everyone who was ever involved in the organization may be challenged, however. If you wish to question those generalizations, start a new thread. Violation of the above rules will result in deletion of the offending posts and/or suspension. Persistent refusal to follow them may result in permanent banning. If you have a specific problem with a poster, settle it outside the forums or use the "ignore" feature. Threads that deteriorate into little more than bickering will be deleted or sent to the Soap Opera Forum, at the moderators' discretion. These rules do not (and cannot) cover every possible eventuality, so please don't try to find loopholes. The moderators will use their best judgment regarding "grey areas." The Purpose of the Rules These rules are meant to encourage civil, courteous discussion. They are not meant to stifle your freedom of expression. We want everyone to have a voice here; please use yours wisely and considerately.

"everyone is told what they can and cannot say" that's not true

you have no idea of my course and what it is and i'm talking to you directly neither confrontational or deliberately rude if you can't take conversation, with me, you knock it off or as the bible teaches let another judge and not yourself i will not be told what i can and cannot say any more been there-it sucks

if you understand tongues it's not tongues any more of course it's a friggin language the language - the tongue of the spirit hung up on the word language or somethin here

o hell, get over yourself, i'll post whatever i see fit to post

not snippy at all that's just the way you are taking things lately you keep trying to keep this thread about you

yes we got your point of view

so you are saying that the verse says only the one speaking in a tongue, can't understand ?

in reference to 'kinds' chapter 15 is loaded 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

i think heaven and the other place are married too

i couldn't have said it better Ham in a nut shell, lol these guys are still 1+1 although that is a base of trig and algebra, as well, unfortunately

hm, yeah, a nother tongue thread in doctrinal

"no man understandeth" this is why the man has to die before you die to understand Can't remember if this thread is where i mentioned the bosom.

this thread is not "about the way" anymore if it ever was anyway Please move it to SOAP. Thank you.

I will have to disagree with that approach Twinky. Cause AA is for your SELF, and getting yourself free of alcohol. If you don't get selfish about it, you can't hardly win. "release from the addiction of "self" and turning to God/Jesus to rescue us" I'm sorry, but this will not work, and is another excuse for waiting for some external miracle.

you guys should stop trying to read minds you suck at it haha

Just so you know, if you don't. It doesn't really matter if you are there for different reasons. It will help one day, possibly, and with that, all are welcome. I didn't go there with any good reasoning at first. Even those who just want to somehow justify drinking are welcome. Yeah, I seen it, doesn't matter with a good group. And, also, if you can stop at 1 or 2 drinks or beers. Then aa is not for you.

lol...
