Thank you Mike (via this latest post thru mj412), you have clarified a lot more what you are trying to communicate. And now I am even more certain that what you are communicating is utter hogwash, and that you have indeed put PFAL above the Bible as the Word of God. And that what Raf said is right. Thank you for your 'thumbnail'. --> Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

sorry. double post!

Mike, "I see a greater risk in placing my bet on a churchianity tradition that has failed for 2000 years to produce even ONE Christian who can do ALL the things Jesus Christ did and greater, ..." Have you actually looked? Or have you just taken VPW's word for it? Oh and, how has VPW himself done all these things? Did all that Jesus Christ did and greater, that is. Oh and since you bring up the point of the part of VPW receiving revelation from God that is the part that is God Breathed in what he wrote and spoke, ... well, can't the same thing be said about any other preacher/teacher/minister/believer who have served God over the years? Don't they have parts of what they wrote/spoke that were "given by inspiration of God", ie., by revelation? So what makes V.P. Wierwille so special above them that his words are so important to be mastered and not the words of anybody else? And how much "in tatters" are the words of God have VPW made because of his ((ahem)) '5 senses knowledge', hmmm? Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Looks like ol' VPW shoed Howard a few 'balls' of his own. And it was all downhill for Howard from there on in. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

I think you missed one Sacred Point: 9. That because of all of the previous Eight Sacred Points, The Teacher's sexual daliances (sp?) with all the "women of his kingdom", his copying and claiming undue credit for others works, and his desire for power and influence are not to be criticised nor condemned, and his reputation must be maintained and whitewashed, no matter the cost ... simply because he "taught us the Word". And I think that this is The Most Important Point of all ... to Mike anyway. Spare me. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Now *there* is the classic one-liner that fits Wierwille to a tee! Mike, That you can bald-facedly reject the **OVERWHELMING** facts, witnesses' accounts and all other relevant info re: VPW as tho' its all a myth clearly illustrates your idolatrous worship of the man Victor Paul Wierwille. And yes Virginia, you do worship him; particularly when you absolutely refuse to see or admit to *any* of the wrongs about him, at least any that threaten to diminish his image of your 'Father in the Word', as tho' that image is necessary to hold on to in order for you to "do the Word". And if that is the kind of 'Word of God' that you have to offer, to quote directly from the PF of AL class, "No-o-o thanks! I wouldn't want to go to church with you!" Why? You're too 'beaten down' with your 'less-than-abundant life' resulting from your blind loyalty and obedience to your dead idol, VPW. And the sad thing about all that is, you're at the point where you don't even see it, much less want to see it. Thanks, but no thanks from me, as I don't need your steenkin' 'class'. Keep your green card. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Just then Buck hears a whining noise outside his trailer somewhere in Alabama, so he grabs his shootin' iron, and he goes outside to investigate. Whereupon he is immediately beamed up into an alien ship, never to be seen again ............. So, whats the point to this post? A question. Which alien race was it that snatched our good buddy Buck (Starbuck? )? a. Klingons b. Romulans c. Ferengi d. Borg e. some real-l-l wormy, icky, unregcognizable alien that you'd see in Men in Black II? Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P. www.gapstudioweb.com

Well, I went and saw the flick, and frankly, that is the *last* time I listen to the critics. I don't believe that the critics have ever liked Star Trek, and I don't believe they ever will. Plus they act like ever movie the public sees must be at the so-called 'sophistication' level of some of those French Film Festivals. Well, e-x-c-u-u-u-s-s-e me, but maybe we like seeing flicks that aren't so, ... whats the word I'm looking for, .... Oh yes, preppie. Me? I liked it, tho' the character development definitely needed more work, particularly the 'Picard-turns-punk-angry-at-the-universe' villian. I mean, the Borg Queen had more depth than that. I never saw Wesley in there at all, unless the camera panned over him quickly at the party at the beginning. The one part in there that I'm surprised that many Trekkies here have missed entirely was the section where Data dies, then later on Picard is trying to teach B-4 about what Data and humanity was all about. Is it me, or does anybody else here see a comparison to what happened when Spock died in ST II, and then was ressurected in ST III? To me, that seems to be the similarity here, tho Data doesn't literally come back from the dead. But in a manner of speaking, he does (or will) thru B-4. Anywho, thats my take on that. Plus, contrary to what some think was the Enterprises 'final voyage', it looked to me that rebuilding the ship implies otherwise. Even tho' it isn't exactly for another flick. Anyway, thats my review, and I give it a tentative thumbs up. If they had a better villian, then I would call it a great flick. P.S., tho, I know it isn't going to be as good as the upcoming Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Not by a long shot!

Zix, W/o giving away the plot, is this going to be the last Star Trek flick? At least for the Next Gen crew/cast? If it is, this is one helluva insulting way to send them out, based on what I'm reading so far. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P.

When you get to the chatroom, type the following exactly as you see it: /join greasespotcafe Greasespotcafe is one word. And you got to make sure that you start it out with the '/' character with the word join right after that. Now this is after you go thru tearing whats left of your hair out trying to get to that point to begin with. Hey! How'd you think I got so bald to begin with?

Happy Birthday ya ol' crotchety critter! Lesee, that makes you almost as old as Strom Thurmond, don't it? Oh wait, that's right. Your birthday dates back to the 1800s. Tell us the truth.

I think Ark hit the nail on the head. The spirituality in the music was what you made of it. Same thing with the drugs. There were kids who took the drugs along with the music, and there were those who were into the music sans the drugs. I know I was part of the latter. Frankly, I think some folks use that "rock n roll leads to drugs" line as a crutch; to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions. Its all too easy to look for the scapegoat. "Its not yer fault, kid. Its the beat of the music." Yeah, right! Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P.

Ya know, I didn't even realize that much about the music back during the 20's thru 40's, since a lot of the music folks know nowadays range from the late 50's forward. But its true! Parents back since time immemorial have been lamenting about what and how their kids are growing up and what influences are guiding their lives. Now Ted is one dude who knows quite a bit about God's Word in Culture, it seems. Prophet Emeritus of THE, and Wandering CyberUU Hippie, Garth P.

Perhaps too much emphasis is given on how much music can influence and even control our lives. Like when you have people blaming rap or punk music for violent behaviors and such. True, music does have an influence on us (as per the adage of "music hath charms that sooth the savage beast" and such), but to go to the extent of actually and directly controlling our actions? Or that, while listening to raunch n roll, a few spirit beings slip into the ol brain, and *BAM* we are in need of an exorcist? Pea green soup anybody? Or, as according to that book, "Marxist Ministrels" seemingly illustrates, listening to the Beatles can morph one's political views from 50's style "Leave it to Beaver" Republicanism all the way to "Workers of the World Unite!" Marxism? I've actually listened to that song Revolution by the Beatles, and it actually *mocks* Communism. Listen to the words where it talks about Mao, redistribution, and the like. Real believers of Communism wouldn't ridicule their political faith like that. Not east of the then Iron Curtain and still live, you didn't. And I'm not even mentioning the highly implausible connection between music and ... 'mind control'. Yahh! Right!! Anywho, there is my 'expertise' on the matter. Wanna see my credentials?

I would say get the firewall anyway. Plus if you get Zonealarm, the free version that is, that would save on the $$$$. And since many view Zonealarm to be the most reliable of all software firewalls (it can make your computer go into stealth mode; ie., make it look invisible to the outside) then that might solve your problem for you right there. Zix, would a hardware based firewall like a router set your system into stealth mode, like the kind I mentioned via Zonealarm? And if it can, can some hacker instead hack into the router?

I'm gonna be honoring that even more ancient of Halloween traditions and rituals: ... Toilet papering lawns. Yes, there has been research done that shows this most ancient of practices going all the way back to the Ancient Egyptians, when ol' King Tut had his pyramid rolled by some of his surviving frat brothers from Pharoah U. However, what has happened to those partying Thebes after that has always remained a mystery. One myth has it that they drowned in their own home made Egyptian beer. Others had it that the beer turned to blood, a holdover from when Moses did that trick to the River Nile. (Some of the folks there has said that the beer always tasted like the Nile, thus the connection ) Anywho, back to our regularly scheduled thread. BOO!
