How about "Buckaroo Banzai and His Adventures Across the 8th Dimension"? (Buckaroo WHO?)

Name ANY to take the round. A) Guy Fieri invites the best of the best chefs in a single-elimination, winner-takes-all contest, each going one-on-one with another chef until one is left. Different challenges will affect each round. Two neutral food experts interview the chef during the cooking process, and describe the dish to the judging panel to ensure the panel has no idea who cooked what, preventing them from favoritism. B) 3-4 chefs are called into a parking lot set up as a kitchen. They have to get ingredients by stopping real customers leaving a food store and buy individual ingredients or the entire contents of their cart, sight unseen. They have to cook a successful dish in the provided time- and the time getting ingredients is part of that time! So, waiting for perfect ingredients can eat up all your cooking time (or get expensive in the early rounds when you can buy entire carts sight unseen.) C) The host of the show mentioned in B), now challenges chefs from all over the US to try to out-cook her, 3 at a time. D) The show sets up a kitchen in the middle of a suburban street, with houses on both sides. Contestants must pick a house, and get their ingredients from what the residents have on hand (yes, they're paid for all the stuff.) E) 3 chefs divide the pool of chefs into 3 teams for the season, each of them leading their team. Each episode, the chefs have to cook a dish that fits a description. Each episode, each team picks randomly, and ends up cooking in one of 3 kitchens. The top floor has high-tech, fancy appliances, the middle floor has regular restaurant kitchen appliances, and the bottom floor has appliances like a home cook. The ingredients for use come down and stop for TEN SECONDS for chefs to get ingredients- stopping at the top floor first, then the middle, then the bottom chefs get whatever is left. When it is time to plate, the moving platform stops first at the bottom floor, then the middle, then the top, again for TEN SECONDS. This show involves trying to find a chef of surpassing skill and potential. F) So you don't like shows about cooking food? How about cooking metal? This show (with at least one overseas version) has 4 weaponsmiths compete in their knife-making skills on-site, then the last 2 competitors go back to their home forges, and have a few days to produce a copy of a famous weapon. Their weapons are examined, and tested with violence, and a winner is chosen from the blades that survive the tests. One less dramatic test is the apple slice- comparing a line of apples to see which are sliced cleanly and which are split. One more dramatic test is the "bulletproof sword club." The resulting sword is set up, blade forward, and a single bullet is fired- resulting either in a split bullet or a shattered blade as the bladesmith enters the "Oh, my God, they shot my sword with a gun" club instead of the "bulletproof sword club." Viewers can learn all sorts of things about weapon- making, metal-forging, and related skills, as a panel of judges comments on the techniques as they're being used. One blade was disqualified because it was completely shaped by use of grinders and sanders, and not even a little by the process named in the show's title. G) Guy Fieri drives all over the place, to eat at little, local eateries with specialties, and publicizes them. H) Before Alex Guarnachelli (however it's spelled) tried it, a different chef brought in 2 chefs, then had them compete against each other for the right to challenge him one-on-one in cooking a dish of their choice. I) 2 chefs, Anne Burrell and a guest chef, attempt to teach a handful of people who are hopeless in the kitchen. The last 2 contestants make a full restaurant meal, with the better meal winning them a pile of cash.

Given how odd this sounds, if it's not some sort of adult movie, I'm going to guess "AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON."

The Aramaic interlinear that twi published showed the changed position- it was written as a question. Lamsa was never the expert in Palestinian Aramaic of the first century as he would hold forth- so his claim that this "would never" have been written as a question was without merit. As a rhetorical question, it carries the same meaning Lamsa wanted to claim- and accurately reflects the text. Other than that book showing the correct translation, I'm unaware of twi actually correcting anything, and I don't know what they say if someone asks. I DO know they tend to get very defensive if asked about things where someone has to admit even a small mistake, so I think the official policy is still "launch a personal attack on anyone who asks about this, and get evasive as to the actual answer." That's the experience most people got when asking about obvious errors, whether corrected or otherwise.

OldSkool: "Now flip the script and imagine how bad Mike would freak out if someone plagaraized wierwille and took his materials, rebranded them, claimed ownership, and claimed God almighty had chosen him over everone else incliding wierwille over the past 2000 years to teach all of it because it hadn't been known since the apostle Paul. " Mike: "I would rejoice if others heard the same truths, re-branded, and were in the same heavenly family with us. You have no idea how I think. That is because you are not willing to listen to me. You only look for ammunition in my words that you can shoot at me. " WordWolf responds: Mike, you've previously commented how it was a big deal how the pfal book copyrights had to be respected. You've made a big deal about ideas that lauded vpw to the skies and made a big deal about him getting all the credit to which you feel he is entitled. That's how you've claimed you thought PREVIOUSLY. Have you changed positions? It sounds like you have, but haven't told us- and blame us for thinking you're still holding your PREVIOUS position. We listened to you before and understood. Your insistence that people only read your posts for ammunition is unrealistic. It doesn't reflect reality. This is hardly news by now.

Mike: "I purposely do not copyright my writing, even my comedy and science and hippie-history writing. I think I do this for the same reason VPW never copyrighted the SNT teaching tapes, and the film class. I never saw a copyright notice in the film class until aroung 1982, and I was the Branch AV guy for many years. I am into the ideas." WordWolf responds. vpw made sure there were copyright notices on every book his "American Christian Press" printed, especially when it was materials with his name on them- allegedly with vpw as the author, as they said. vpw was very interested in asserting his copyrights on all of them. So, there's a disconnect. Why did vpw make sure ALL the print stuff had a copyright, but the audio tapes/ video tapes did not- until later? There's basically 3 possibilities. 1) vpw had some complicated reason where the completed, edited books should not be reproduced, but the tapes, often off-the-cuff, were supposed to be fair game for copying and that was actually intentional. 2) vpw had no idea that audio-video materials, like printed materials, were subject to copyright and could have/should have had copyrights asserted for them, whereas with the books, he'd known that for many decades. 3) God Almighty, for reasons known only to Him, told vpw to copyright everything in print from American Christian Press, but told vpw to leave copyright off of the audio tapes/ video tapes. I think the answer is obvious to ALMOST everyone. Mind you, if the whole intention was to inject pfal into the public by making it public domain, it was incredibly inconsistent because the collaterals had copyright from the beginning, so the printed pfal books were NEVER in the public domain. So, God Almighty was inconsistent in that, or vpw was inconsistent in that, or that was never the intention. I think the answer is obvious to ALMOST everyone.

I got to thinking about this with one poster, but, really, this thread is fair game for posters to post that they've changed previously-held positions, or left previous positions, or abandoned previously-held positions, and so on. So, it's open for all posters. However, I was thinking about all of this because of a specific poster. So, I shall get specific. Mike, you've previously held a number of positions on things that you may have changed or reversed. In the interest of finding out if we now agree on them, I'm asking for you outright IF you've changed positions, and, if so, on what you've changed. I've included a few examples I'm curious about, things you've previously espoused but may no longer claim. -vpw was "born with an overabundance of brains and brawn", was "OVERgifted", and "where he walked, the earth shook." - When Jesus returns, he will be holding a copy of the Orange Book and be teaching from it. -Jesus is "very interested in pfal." -God told vpw to plagiarize, and it's fine, because God said so, but it's wrong if other people plagiarize. -The alleged "1942 Promise" was legitimate, and God Almighty really made such a promise to vpw. That's a few things off the top of my head. Feel free to discuss any position on which you've changed. Please keep in mind, however, that until you mention you've changed, people will most likely hold you responsible for any position you've previously espoused, as if you still hold it.

It's been previously pointed out (by Raf) that people can and do change their positions over time, and it's sometimes important to find out when that's happened- especially when disagreeing with a position they have held. After all, if someone has reconsidered their position on something and no longer holds that position, it's silly to criticize them for CONTINUING to hold that position. If they're agreeing with you, what's the point of criticizing them for previously disagreeing with you? That's not constructive discussion, that's just venting. So, I was thinking about how people can change their positions on twi, vpw and so on, but not make any major announcements on having done so.

Mike: "This process is STILL going on, where people get massively blessed with the collaterals when they take the new TWI foundational class. They get to see the fruit in their lives as they put the content of the collaterals into their Bible reading and lives. " T-Bone: "Baloney! Are YOU omniscient and omnipresent? How do you know “this process” is still going on? “people get massively blessed” ?!?! But YOU just said you didn’t have the ability to look at the fruit in the lives of others! “blessed with the collaterals when they take the new TWI foundational class” Oh, so you’ve taken the new PFAL Today class? Also, please define “massively blessed” and describe what “fruit” is seen." WordWolf responds: And so, in Mike's mind, there's lots of new people taking the new pfal class, and getting "massively blessed." Mind you, he hasn't SEEN these people, but IN HIS MIND, there's lots of them. Mike: "Many thousands right this minute are thankful for PFAL and how it helped them. You folks missed this bus, but there is still another one you can catch. It's not too late. It will be too late someday." T-Bone: Baloney! “thousands right this minute” ? Are YOU omniscient and omnipresent? “You folks missed this bus, but there is still another one you can catch” …bus? Did you mean to say motorcoach? Who’s driving and who’s getting diddled in the back? WordWolf responds: Again, in Mike's mind, there's "thousands of people right this minute" who are thankful for pfal. He has not interacted with these "thousands", but in his mind, there's thousands.

WordWolf: "The only reason to think vpw is worthy of ANY respect is his own insistence that he was- and that's not very convincing to most people. " Mike: "Baloney !!! I looked at the good fruit first, and THEN I started to believe his claims. It occurred to me that I didn't have the ability to look at the fruit in HIS life, " WordWolf responds: Salami on your baloney. You had plenty of ability to look at the fruit in his life then, and you certainly can see as well as everyone else what fruit has been. We all know- and you might not admit- that if the exact same claims were made of anyone else, you would dismiss them completely. A minister, given to yelling at his congregation, known for plagiarizing virtually everything he teaches, and claiming he originated virtually all of it, addicted to alcohol and drinking it while teaching, addicted to tobacco and got cancer from all the tobacco, who has set up an elaborate social structure that facilitates him molesting and raping the female members of the congregation and sometimes drugs them first but always tells them God Almighty wants them to sexually service him the minister...... ....if this minister taught some good sermons and effective Bible..... ....and also claimed that God Almighty chose him uniquely out of all Christians for the past 2000 years.... you wouldn't believe his claim, and you wouldn't take him seriously. You skip over looking over the fruit in vpw's life- and actively discourage anyone looking at the fruit in vpw's life and call them names FOR looking at the fruit in vpw's life, because it doesn't match up with what you WANT to believe. Mike: "I looked at the good fruit first, and THEN I started to believe his claims. It occurred to me that I didn't have the ability to look at the fruit in HIS life, but in my life, and in the lives of my friends who took the class, the fruit was (and still is) abundant and good. " WordWolf responds: Mortadella on your baloney. If anyone spoke about ANOTHER Bible teacher, and that teacher plagiarized all their material from others, and someone insisted that they were a quality teacher and quality Christian because they were benefiting from what they'd learned... ...we all know what you'd say to that person, who said the same thing about any teacher EXCEPT WIERWILLE.

FYI, "vpw"s first class- the clone of BG Leonard's CTC "Gifts of the Spirit" class was called "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today." In the thread "vp and me in Wonderland", we discussed the odd phrases and why it looked like RR went after vpw and both of them adultered together. Later, RD posted independently that that is what had happened, on some occasions. So, vpw wasn't actually admitting anything, but his exact phrasing pointed to what he meant to conceal. According to God Almighty, adultery is wrong. Adulterers are not recommended to be leaders. This is rather obvious. But a few people think that all of that is true EXCEPT FOR wierwille who gets a pass, because of the 1942 promise- which was complete bunk from the first to the last. The only reason to think vpw is worthy of ANY respect is his own insistence that he was- and that's not very convincing to most people.

I don't know about the other women. The reason it sounds so specifically like that with his account of RR is because he DID boink RR. He spoke around it here, but the language was so idiosyncratic that I figured out that's what he was trying not to admit. Months later, someone who knew posted confirmation that vpw had, indeed, boinked RR.

That's probably one of the reasons that particular phrasing was phased out. vpw kept changing the way his alleged "1942 promise" was phrased when he supposedly was told something by God Almighty. It's like he had to try out different versions until he found one he liked enough to keep. Yes, he claimed that God Almighty had been unable to teach ANY Christian anywhere in the WORLD for about 2000 years at that level, and was waiting for this alcoholic rapist to finally come along. Despite having been an impious youth and a poor worker, and being bad-tempered, addicted to tobacco and alcohol, and prone to sexually exploiting women and making opportunities to do so, vpw supposedly was THE man who God Almighty could connect with. There was no other, better-suited Christian ready to step up in all the world in all those centuries. For almost everybody, this is hard to swallow. For a tiny handful of people, the response is "Yes, of course."

*coughs* Uriah was Mr Bath-Shebah *cough*

It was interesting to see what vpw said about David, Nathan and Bathsheba. vpw said that what David did to URIAH was wrong. He said that David's actions concerning adultery, forced sex with Bathsheba (he "TOOK HER" as the Bible says) (she had no literal ability to refuse him so any "consent" would be considered INVALID in any fair court-yet there was no mention of her consenting in any verse), and the murder or Uriah to cover his tracks was "OFF THE BALL." In the Bible, the same was "DOING EVIL." What vpw said David did to Bathsheba was "FOOLING AROUND". The Bible said David "TOOK HER". vpw said he "FOOLED AROUND"- and he used the Nathan-David-Bathsheba incident as a specific example of "RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD." vpw (Orange Book chapter 6: "There are many examples of correction in the Bible. Take David, for instance. David was off the ball. He found beautiful Bathsheba and then had her husband shot while in the front lines of battle so that he, David, could have Bathsheba as his wife. A few people knew about the sequence of events leading to David’s marriage, but nobody had a right to say any- thing because David was king and every woman in the kingdom was technically the property of the king or belonged to the king." ============================== Someone may creatively reinterpret what vpw meant, but vpw was rather clear that "TECHNICALLY" didn't mean this was "de facto" and not "de jure" (illegal but he was able to do so because nobody had the power to stop him from breaking the law), but that this was a LEGAL RIGHT of David's - "NOBODY HAD A RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING". If David broke the law, then people had a LEGAL RIGHT to say so (to say nothing of the obligation to uphold the law.) vpw considered the CITIZENS of Israel to be the SLAVES, the CHATTEL of the King- "every woman in the kingdom was technically the property of the king or belonged to the klng." In case "belonged to the king" was unclear, he doubled down and said they were "PROPERTY". Now, someone can come along later and say that the clear words here- "belonged to" "property" "nobody had a right" - mean something completely different than what they say. Doesn't mean they're correct or that reality changes to match their wishes that the book had said something else.

In case anyone somehow forgot, vpw himself is the originator of the phrase "all the women in the kingdom belong to the king." vpw tried to justify King David's "affair" with Bath-sheba, where he showed interest in her, and one way or another, he got her to "consent." Many people would argue that, with imbalances of power that extreme, consent is dubious at best. (If I say 'no', the monarch has me beheaded.) Then David attempted to cover his having a kid with Bath-sheba by trying to get Uriah to leave the field of battle and fool around with his own wife. Uriah was too principled. So, David arranged for Uriah to die in battle, then took Bath-sheba for his wife. When Nathan the prophet confronted David, he mentioned SPECIFICALLY what he was confronting him on- taking another man's wife. All of that having been said, vpw's supposed "expert" understanding and explanation started with him saying that , TECHNICALLY, all the women in the kingdom belonged to the king. No, the Bible forbade taking another's wife and so on, so there was no "TECHNICAL" exception for a King to take another man's wife. But all of that said quite a bit about vpw's state of mind on the subject.

This was worth reviewing, also. :)

Well, HE didn't- he was gone for HOURS when it was time to work hard on his family's farm.

(bump)

Mike: "There are deep reasons why this transcript was not read the time(s) I posted it in the past." When you mentioned it in passing in the past, before, it was largely passed over, Mike, because your credibility has worn so thin that nobody was paying attention to it. No need to consult your corn flakes for a hidden message expounding the "secret" to why your endorsements don't get results. Oh, and I'm keen on everyone reading the whole thing in its entirety- that's why I began the thread with the whole thing in its entirety. That way, they can check what you're saying, what I'm saying, what everyone's saying, and what is there, and come to their own conclusions with everything in plain sight. That benefits them, and that benefits those of us shining a light on things. Big guess on who receives dubious help, at best, when that happens.

skyrider's mentioned him before. From the thread, "Keys to the City." "p. 131 Born Again to Serve "On November 21, 22, and 23 in the city of Ujjain, Dr. Wierwille addressed a three-day annual convention of the Terapanthi Jains, knownas the Anuverat Movement. Dr. Wierwille was the first Christian ever to be invited to address this body. The Jains are a sect of Hindus and their leader was Acharaya Shri Tulsi, who spent much time in private telling us about the whole movement and asking questions of us. Dr. Wierwille remarked, 'I can say that the Acharaya is doing much for the building up of the moral and ethical structure of the Indian peoples.'" No....I don't doubt that wierwille addressed this convention....BUT all evidence show that Dr. I.S. Williams was the prominent Christian man in this Hindu meeting and translated for wierwille. From what I see, wierwille got to preach for 15-20 minutes.....and that was it. The Jain convention lasted for 3 days......kinda like wierwille getting to speak at the "ROA Family Tables" as a sideshow to a much larger event. BIG DEAL..........hahahahahaha ======================= From "Ash Heap of TWI-story": "The Terapanth Jains is a sub-sect movement of the two major sects in Jainism, Svetambara and Digambara. When wierwille claimed to be "the first-ever christian to address the Jain Convention".....what that meant was Dr. Williams ushered vpw in as a guest speaker to address a splinter group of the Svetambara sect of Jainism in Ujjain, India. Not Bombay.....not Delhi.....not Calcutta.......not Jabalpur. Ujjain, India which today has a population of some 515,000 --- Click Here For those who might want to see the graphic outline of Jainism and its sects, [from Wikipedia] the following link is provided. Scroll down to #10 Denominations -- Click Here - Jainism ------------------------ From "Planting a cult one weed at a time", " "The haughtiness of wierwille's narcissism wreaks thru even this sanitized edition of wierwille's legacy. But there is no mistaking that wierwille stole B.G.'s class outright and ran it as his own........and then, plagiarized from other men's works to add filler and pass it off as his own research (cough, cough). When the timeline is followed........there was NO WAY wierwille had any inkling of a "twi" or class-based system when he barged into Leonard's class in Calgary, Alberta. Again, arrogance and narcissism. Even the pictures in Mrs. W's book.........show that wierwille was a nobody, a back-bencher around other men of the cloth. And, Dr. Williams the president of the All-India Federation of National Churches AND pastor of the St. Paul's Hindustani Church in Byculla, Bombay AND strict devotee of Indian history........was host to the wierwilles during that India itinerary. Dr. Williams is the one who opened ALL THE DOORS and gave vpw access into the Jain Convention, where this western Christian (wierwille) was granted a 20-30 minute teaching in a week long festival. Yawn. How many of them would even remember his name? How many of them took this as an opportunity to go use the restroom? Dr. Williams translated for vpw. Wanna bet that out of respect for Dr. Williams the American got to even speak at all?" ------------------------------------------- From "A couple of questions about VPW" "Then.....12 years later (1956)......wierwille, wife and kids, go on that India itinerary. Wierwille's narcissism is writing checks that his ministry (cough, cough) couldn't cash. Through contacts with Bishop K.C. Pillai.....a Dr. I. S. Williams becomes their host upon arrival. Interestingly, Mrs. Wierwille's book references this man as "Dr. J. S. Williams (perhaps, the scribbled notes at the time were the reason for this mistake....or something else?). Dr. Williams was a prominent and distinguished man. Dr. I. S. Williams was president of the All-India Federation of Churches and pastor of the St. Paul's Hindustani Church in Byculla, Bombay and devotee of Indian history.....and more. Wierwille, in his narcissistic realm, embellishes this huge storyline in pfal of his India experience. Yet, truth be told......it was Dr. I. S. Williams that was well-respected and highly prominent to religious and political officeholders.....and therefore, doors DID OPEN because Williams was the man that opened them. Not wierwille. And, all that bloviating in pfal of teaching the Word of God at the Jain Convention......when in reality, wierwille spoke for about 20-30 minutes (translated by Williams) in a week-long convention. " ==============================

Mike, you're probably the only one that can't tell the difference. When we addressed you on a number of things, you suddenly went to mentioning this, and returned to it, complaining that people were refusing to read it- while skipping over what everyone else said. That's a blinking neon sign. There's a big difference between saying you want it read, and you want it discussed openly. You claim you want it read- and I agree. But you buried the link in a thread, and that link led to a post buried in another thread. If you really wanted an open discussion, you would have started a new thread- and you refused to do so when asked. So, you don't want us discussing as a group- and the reason's rather clear. You'd rather pretend it contains secret, hidden, occult information, secret messages only you can decipher. With us all discussing it, it all comes out in the wash. Bluster all you want.

"Now in order to teach it, I have to study the Word; and when I study it, He shows it to me, then I can teach it. I think a lot of you people know these Bible students that are in here tonight, and we have among our people gathered here tonight, like almost every Sunday night, some of the finest Bible students in the world today. We have Bible students in here to whom no theologian in the entire world can hold a candle when it comes to the rightly dividing and the understanding of God's Word. I think every person in here knows that they can work the Word and they do work it. They get wonderful light and they contribute a great deal to The Way ministry and the light that's taught out of The Way ministry. But when these people bring their light on the Word to me and I have the opportunity to hear it--it doesn't take me but one reading or one hearing and I can, usually, without working it too far, I can pick out the error or pick the good that they bring and fit it right in. " ---------------------------- Again with vpw/twi having "the best in the world" at something. Supposedly, this was BEFORE vpw hijacked the hippies of the House of Acts. BTW, it's already been explained -by someone who was there and had access to vpw's private library- that vpw never went to "study the Word." He had a big stash of works by excellent Christian writers. He would go to their stuff, pick through it, and then prepare a teaching based on what was there, and CLAIM he was in alone reading the Bible with God explaining the Bible to him.

"And that began the ministry that has cost me, sense-knowledge, more than anybody will ever realize--except those of us who've gone through it. It gives ya' a whole set of new friends. It caused people, heads of my denomination, through various times when I appeared teaching, like in India, even to write letters against me that I was not a member of the denomination at all--and I'd been born in the lousy place. Isn't that something? And I have them on file--have them in my files, you ought to see 'em, I got a sheet this big. " ==================== I know exactly what he's complaining about- and he's exaggerating wildly, again, no surprise there! vpw made his ONE overseas trip to India (AFAIK, he made no trips to Central America, Latin America nor South America no matter what he said here, his biographies never have any gaps for it nor references to it). What he claimed was some grand tour of India where he personally was invited to teach all over the place. He actually rode the coattails of some other preacher, the one whose claims vpw plagiarized into the booklet about The Dilemma of Foreign Missions when he returned. That guy was welcome all over the place and addressed the Jain Convention. vpw was there as his guest. vpw didn't have any invitations in his own name, nor invitations to teach even in the other guy's name. His ONE public address was a short time at the microphone where he pronounced a blessing for the attendees. (We got all this from Mrs W's book.) As vpw went to India, the denomination made it clear that he was one of their ministers- but they were NOT sending him there in any capacity, official or not, and he was not sent as a REPRESENTATIVE of theirs in ANY capacity. His actions were solely his own, and no official connection was stated nor implied by his presence there. vpw really resented how clearly they did that. He loved parading around as a fake VIP whenever he had the chance, and this announcement/letters ruined some of his fun. He couldn't strut around India pretending he was their representative to India or anything like that. BTW, when he was thanked by some actual VIP in India, it was for the surprise he felt that vpw, a Christian minister, would pronounce a blessing for the Jain Convention/non-Christians. Period. it was NOT for anything else he said, and it was NOT for anything else he did. Mrs W was pretty specific. vpw's account of the same thing was pretty specific, also. He claimed a cinematic, unrealistic incident of a miraculous healing where he prayed for a man with a withered arm while almost hanging off the back of a train, and that the man was instantly healed. You all may recall that one from pfal and the Orange Book. We've discussed it before- it's physically unrealistic, doesn't make sense in the context of the trip, and there's no way a man already in another car could possibly have seen it happen at the rear of the caboose just as the train was pulling out. BTW, vpw got the key to a town, but no "and the doors of the Far East are all open for you to teach". The VIP was a VIP to one town, not an entire subcontinent. This is why vpw never returned to capitalize on the amazing trip we were all TOLD he had, despite there being no eyewitnesses- not ones who CORROBORATED HIS REPORT. If there had been miracles all up and down India, he would have returned at SOME point- and there were plenty of opportunities, especially once vpw grabbed all the loot from Way East and Way West and canned H33fn3r and D00p. So, the complaint wasn't them denying he was their minister, they denied he was there in any representative capacity rather than on his own personal trip. Not much for a normal minister to complain about, but this isn't a surprise.]

He definitely drew a salary. By his own claims, he taught a LOT on tithing there in his first MONTH as a pastor. However, I've never seen references to him actually tithing. Like here, there's IMPLICATIONS he tithed, and INSINUATIONS he tithed, but no outright statement that he EVER tithed- certainly not since beginning his work as a pastor, minister, etc.
