It's one of those one-word shows..... "SUCCESSION?????"
-
Taking my usual wild swing here.... "CAMELOT????"

"Tongues of angels" is mentioned exactly ONCE in the entire Bible. That should raise a few eyebrows, because whenever vpw posits a doctrine around a SINGLE VERSE, it always turns out he'd flubbed the verse and that wasn't what it meant after all. "Tongues of angels" is mentioned in a list of incredibly wild, over-the-top claims of practices. It's no more a reality one can experience than can having ALL Knowledge. What all that means is important, and why there were several threads just discussing all that. Naturally, Mike never learned anything from any of those discussions.

Although it's possible for anyone to change over 20 years (some of the GSC'ers have changed radically), Mike is so used to being refuted and ignoring the refutations that posting corrections, even obvious ones, won't be of use to him as to other people because Mike doesn't come here to ever try to learn anything. Mike's here purely to advertise.

So, the person who insists on breathing and eating this ideology, is there any long-term and/or short-term harm to them?
-
So, Mike is pfal's last chance, and Mike is free will's last chance. Mike is amazingly important- according to Mike.
-
With Mike, that's usually the way to bet. Find a way to relieve him of the responsibility of the decisions he made, of the responsibility for the actions he took.

BTW, I don't think you're going to get the Psychologists to go along with any new definitions or new phrases you propose and use, like "synapse set." Especially when they don't agree with previous definitions of either word.

One standard technique, right from the conman's playbook, is to INVENT a problem and then SELL you the solution.

Incorrect- just Mike unable to get past the polarizing influence of black-and-white thinking. Some of what vpw stole was good material from good people. Some of what vpw stole was not- and vpw was unable or unwilling to tell the difference. Since he was just copying over, he likely didn't understand a lot of it and just bluffed a lot. After that, people came along and cleaned up his work, corrected him, or constructed elaborate covers that hid how bad a mistake he'd made. One problem was when a good person- like Bullinger- made a big mistake, and vpw was unable to tell the difference. (Bad material from good people.) Furthermore, sometimes the material was bad and came from bad people, and he couldn't tell that, either. Since vpw was cobbling together an inferior theology from diverse sources, these were an obvious risk- and were an obvious outcome. It was theoretically possible for him to construct a serviceable theology using eclecticism- but it required a better eye than he had, and harder work than he was prepared to do. Cognitive dissonance is what one gets running into a big pile of vpw error, then trying to spin it into some secret truth hidden by God Almighty.

No, it was a False Dilemma as posted. Although it is not outside the realm of possibility that you're just that awful at communicating, and are continually misunderstood, I'm going with "I got caught making a mistake, so I'll rephrase myself and claim I was misunderstood instead, and the fault is in the reader instead." Since you've previously VOLUNTEERED to us that you "dodge, distract, but never admit an error is an error," it's more likely just more of the same. So, you're making lots of mistakes, admitting to none of them, and keep insulting GSC'ers who understand and catch you on each mistake, pretending they're the ones making the mistakes. if you're trying to convince us you're really up on Psychological and/or Psychiatric thought, you've a long way to go (and probably won't get there.)

songs remembered from just one line
WordWolf replied to bulwinkl's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
Apparently, I don't know The Kinks nearly well enough for this round. -
I try not to post when I have absolutely nothing to add. George and I both apparently only know 1 quote from John Paul Jones. Unless you meant the one who was in Led Zeppelin, that would be different.
-
Well, it's obvious, but only to those who lived through it and saw it directly, that in twi under vpw, when it was said that "The Word takes the place of the absent Christ," what's meant is that "wierwille's words take the place of Christ, who's not here to object." So, "What would wierwille think" really did become a thing, no matter who would be slow to admit it. Frankly, they probably should have just sold bumper stickers with that on them.

I recommend seeing it at least once. Wordpup saw it this Halloween. Even he thought it was a good movie. I'm fascinated about how we follow a completely different movie for the first 20 minutes than we do for the next 20, and so on..... I can heavily quote the first 20 minutes and not hit any of the more famous lines, which show up more as the movie unfolds.
-
Thanks a lot, Sugar, um Chief, um, I'll have the next one up soon, I guess.
-
You keep asking, he'll keep dodging. Can't change his spots.
-
And if there weren't, he'd have another excuse as to why he won't- he's used them for decades- but by now it's obvious he CAN'T. (By that, I mean what he's been asked to do- be brief and clear.)
-
After seeing him unable to do it here, I'm confident he can't do it for the professors, either. He is who he is.
-
He's been giving the same answer the entire time he's been here. "Can you post something both brief and clear?" "*evasion*" If he had SOMETHING, there would have been SOMETHING he could whip out and say "Here's something noteworthy" and we'd be able to say "How about that, something noteworthy." He's had over 20 years to find it, so if he hasn't found it yet....
-
This isn't exactly new. There's a reason I responded to his mentioning of the group with casualness. It was going to be a LOT less than he began advertising, by the time the details arrived. Any wonder why his credibility is shot here? There's more than 1 reason.
-
Um..... no.
-
There was an entire movie attached to the off-the-wall ads. However, it was NOT this movie.

Ok, I'd like to continue this discussion from a different angle. That the 1942 "promise" was a poorly-written lie is evident beyond any REASONABLE doubt. That vpw was, in reality, a conman looking for the best material to plagiarize, who made up the 1942 "promise" to assist in his con at useful moments is, again, beyond any REASONABLE doubt. That pfal/twi materials contain a mix of plagiarized material of varying quality- some excellent, some nonsense, and some added by vpw who didn't understand what he was plagiarizing- is, again, beyond any REASONABLE doubt. So, let us take all of that as GIVEN. We all know it. Now, then, starting from a position that we know all that, I ask everyone...... What difference does it make? If someone, by their free will, knowingly discard all warnings and all warning signs, and dogmatically clings to pfal as if it was of some actual consequence to God Almighty and to humanity as a whole, and focus their entire life around that by their own choice, what of it? Does this really harm the person at all? Is there some reason they should actually stop? (I'm interested in hearing what the rest of you have to say on the subject.)
