Sheltering students from any fact or truth NEVER has has merits, especially when a "teacher" claims to be trustworthy. A balance of openness and coverup? A wicked proposition. Only a deceiver would need to to strike this balance. Honesty, transparency, truth telling are not liabilities requiring a mitigation strategy.

All these dependent clauses and prepositional phrases! Yikes! History is not written by committee, propaganda is. Correction: This place is thorough in the gathering of objective historical FACTS. These facts have been objectively and subjectively judged to be mostly negative. Lies and exaggerations are asserted. Those assertions are dealt with and corrected and sometimes even mocked. This is called propaganda.

Is that what VP himself wrote? You think this is some kind of profound insight? It’s not. This has been obvious to virtually every human being for at least 100,000 years.

Is it? EVERY post? Not so fast! Some posts are pure fact, some are pure opinion, some are pure speculation; Some are a mix of only fact and opinion; others are speculation and opinion, but no facts. What does that mean? The word = YourWalk+YourBelieving+TheBible+ChristInYou? That "ministry" taught a great deal of factual error, silly opinion and outrageous speculation. I hope you know you can go far beyond what you were taught, if you want. TOO bullying and controlling? When those in your life get bullying and controlling AT ALL, you have to stand up to them. Those controlling bullies were imitating and standing on the shoulders of victor paul wierwille.

What does that mean? What is a spiritual heavyweight? Who "taught" you that term?

Right. Men and women are not treated as equals in the OT, as prescribed by law. It's not even close. Just wanted to make sure you weren't confused about this.

That the wives were all treated equally by the husband? No favoritism was to be given one wife over another? Certainly, you don’t mean treated as equal to the husband.

Brilliant! mmmmmph

Are there charts? Charts, please. Charts made by the Art Department, please.

And it's sufficiently, precisely, accurately called serial monogamy. It's only misleading if you don't understand what it means. No need to make up new terms, because it won't be helpful. Use a dictionary. (1) Single; Eligible; Unmarried (2) Monogamy (3) Polygamy They aren't sloppy at all. They may only be unclear to you. They really aren't misleading. Use a dictionary.

Right. Research does not mean re-search. At least, it hasn't meant that for a few hundred years. You can, contrary to what victor paul wierwille claims, go beyond what you've been taught. Far beyond.

So much devil spirit, so little God.

Right

I wonder what his mom and brothers called him? The letter J did not exist in the 1st century. So much for getting back to the original. Bless his little heart....

A case could be made that polygamy requires more commitment. More wives, more commitment. I don’t think victor paul wierwille would have been willing to be bothered with that level of commitment and responsibility. One wife and a bowl of Quaaludes for the girls is easier and cheaper.

Right. I suspected that’s what you meant. Yeah, baseball, apple pie, Delta blues, divorce — Americana. What a thought experiment. I don’t think polygamy would have curtailed his predation or his craving for power, control and young leg. If polygamy was the norm, victor paul wierwille would practice monogamous marriage as a display of novel contrarianism.

I can’t even do it in series. Or else, I’m unwilling. At this moment, I don’t beleeeve in marriage for myself. Not even one at a time. What was the legislation?

Sorry. Apology = defense. Defense of the priest doing the child focking. I know I couldn’t support the needs and desires of more than one wife. I don’t know how those men do it. I marvel.

A vile word. There’s at least one charismatic catholic posting here who apologizes for child rape and pedophilia in the church by euphemistically calling it a “sodomitic session.” I wonder how victor paul wierwille and his grads would counsel a victim of pedophilia or child rape? Would they say, If it’s done in love…

The kissing starts at 6:25

Ha ha!! Maybe! Or maybe I just Ike the word and am trying to MAKE it fit like a hand in a glove so I can feel cooler about my fantastical self than I actually am as I get older.

Ok. I get it now. Yeah, and SBF. Gross. That’s another fraudster who could have stood on the shoulders of victor paul wierwille. I wasn’t a part of a polycule like SBF and FTX. I was thinking more simply: A is dating B and C, but B and C are not dating, and all three are friends. Something like that. Maybe that’s not a polycule.

Had to look up polycule. I like the word, but I doubt the concept is novel. I may have been a constituent to a polycule or two in my twenties - should think about that some more. Had to look up Borg Cube, too.... still don't get it.

When you put it that way, it sounds exactly like my twig fellowship built on the shoulders of victor paul wierwille. Polyamorous relationships are difficult to grasp, because of jealousy. Jealousy has no place in such a relationship. I don't know anyone in a polyamorous relationship. They might only exist in the imagination.
