  1. You beat me to it, Waysider. https://digitaloccultlibrary.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cults-and-the-occult/
  2. Captain Obvious L. Ron Hubbard was more influential than Gurdjeff on VPW.
  3. It's not a matter of looking for them to find them. It's a matter of the flaws literally leaping off the page for anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.
  4. That's riiight. Orders of magnitude more patriarchal than mid-20th century Merica.
  5. I don't get this attitude from the early, authentic letters of Paul. It could be that I just don't know how (H-O-W) to read the YourBelieving+ChristInYou+TheBible+YourWalk.
  6. Right. Not nitpicky at all. The topic is a bait and switch. And it’s ironic. And it’s bullshonta. These are all figgers of speech. mogadishu
  7. I agree. I admitted to some of the benefits of his work. He is a good STARTING point. A good way to get a taste. HOWEVER, I do find his ideology distracting - that's me. As you have surely found out, another man's work is no substitute whatsoever for one's own work on matters such as these. Regurgitation is no substitute for serious inquiry.
  8. Back on topic… One of Ethelbert’s appendices is called “THE Man of God.” He provides a long list of OT verses, but no names. HOWEVER, a simple mathematical equation is presented: 6 x 13 I’m not saying I have the secret decoder ring, but I bet that 6 is the number of THE The Men of God to which the music coordinator referred.
  9. Ah, scientism. A dogmatism. Like the dogmatism of victor’s private religion. Yeah, no, that ain’t science. But, sure, I’ll accept that scientism is a type of religion. Like all dogmatic ideologies, there is no science involved with scientism. Honest scientists don’t try to explain God.
  10. He probably has some good insights. He clearly has the patience and diligence for minute details, but he is not the only theologian to have ever walked the Earth. (For him, walking on Earth is only possible because it's flat.) It's stupid stuff like flat Earth and four crucified and hyper dispensationalism that cause me not to waste my time. Though, for a minute, I was intrigued by his treatment of the genitive case in one appendix, only to be let down by his omission of objective/subjective. (Maybe he handles that elsewhere.)
  11. Whew! All that tracking and tabulation. Gosh! Sure, it’s neato, but one might risk paralysis by analysis. And after all that effort for granularity, the Gospels aren’t even written TO him, according to him. Thank for the link!
  12. Confabulous! Thanks, OS. So, it looks like he believes Matthew was written first? I think that was the consensus private opinion of his day. That’s what I’m asking. jakarta kiwi
  13. Usually turkey, but it might be game hens this year; crawfish and andouille cornbread dressing; roasted winter squash; green salad; pumpkin and pecan pies. The turkey carcass simmers overnight to become turkey stock for the turkey and andouille gumbo we make on Friday.
  14. Such a grim and horrifying vision of the future. Such a dismal, wretched, hopeless outlook. Why would one would risk incurring, by making this claim, such a spiritual liability?
  15. Who in the AF wants fire engine red drapes? Exactly no one. The story is complete fiction. Bad fiction. Poor victor. Bless his little black heart.
  16. Maybe now we can get back to the REAL topic. If you can't remember, go back and read the first post of this thread. I call it Chapter 1. Also, pay attention to the tags. The tags are the KEYS.
  17. 104. Fire engine red drapes
