Well, the book was the same size as the others, but the movie was, what- 20 minutes shorter? That's not something you can make up easily. Book 4, "Goblet of Fire", is a lot bigger, and "Order of the Phoenix" is about the size of books 1-3 together. If they don't make the movies at least 2 hours long, they will chop too much out.

There wasn't that excuse in twi, even. Take a look at the documents section, and listen to the RealAudio clips. There's some on file there somewhere....

Not that I know of...I was just trying to cover all the bases. That or show off. Or both. :)-->

A while back we had a discussion comparing MLM groups like Amway with twi-anybody know what thread that was?

Wow. Turns out I could have saved a LOT of time. I alloted myself no less than 5 hours (usually 6-7) working on a teaching. (Anything after 5 hours was tightening it up and trimming unnecessary words, so when I spent 7 hours, it was shorter but more polished than 5 hours.) I first really heard that idea-that it was more important to read vpw's books than to do it yourself-months after I was OUT, by a LEADER who was OUT. Old habits die hard, it seems....

So were "Our Times", and "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus". I've got those somewhere...

By any chance, was that band called "Ezra"? I remember before '89, the 2 youngest people bands were Kerusso and Ezra. Ezra was heavy metal.

Is anyone here inclined to do a point-by-point comparison between this post and the early chapters of the Blue Book? "What We Believe=What we are" and so on?

He refused to let them call him GOOD, however... "Good master...?" "Why do you call me 'good'? There is none good, save one-God."

I once heard the following offhand description of "Unitarian Universalists", & knew I'd have to memorize it... "We don't care what you believe-just come to church."

You left out the discussion group discussing what should have been added to the list, the definition of a prophylactic as "a headgasket for a hot-rod", and why the high-five phrase "slip me some skin" can occasionally produce gales of laughter from recent grads. Some people also got to see vpw show a film clip involving some humans and one or more animals doing the horizontal mambo together. My class only had him describing it. (To this day, I ask..."WHY?") Oh, and the kicker: vpw explaining that "self-love" was the original sin in the Garden of Eden, but now it's perfectly fine to do....

I don't have the lyrics handy, but they're online for the searching. The THIRD VERSE we never sang-another section that contradicted session 1, segment 1. "I don't know about tomorrow, it may bring me poverty, But the one who feeds the sparrow is the one that cares for me..."

Ya know... as I was reading (well... skimming actually) the article I was thinking "I've seen this before somewhere"... and you're right... I think I'll go get my notes out and see if it matches... nah...I wonder if Steve C will come visit us over on the 9th Corps thread sometime? I recognized it INSTANTLY as having been covered in JAL's "WIll The Real You Please Stand Up?" , and was probably taken from lcm's teaching and written into the book. (That's the book that says "fear is sand in the machinery of life" twice, while mixing up the word order- "fear is sand in the life of machinery", "life is fear in the sand of machinery." I think those were the orders. :)--> ) And, yes, putting Desire before Decision suggests you're doing things you don't want to do, and stopping things you do, since they started with Desire.

You missed my point. They refer to other countries as "international countries", which is redundant, like the wet water, or the hot fire. (Or the "chorus choir".) The only thing I disagree with is that you left out the word "international" before the word "countries".

Ditto. Please keep in mind that I can find some of its contents to be correct and of value, some of it misunderstood by the author and mangled, and some of it just completely out of the ballpark and STILL think it has merits on SOME points. Doesn't mean I think it replaced the Bible (which isn't what it says), or that I "partially" agree that God "partially" designed it or it "partially" replaced the Bible. I think some of it has merit, yet Mike would probably claim I'm one of his more persistent dissenters. (And vice versa.)

The "disk cleanup" should have "other options" that include erasing old Restore points. If your version is similar to XP in that regard, you currently have 100 or more "restore points" in your computer, when 3 is more than I want. If you run out of space for the defragger, this will clear some up. ============================================= You can also call up a "search" for all files with the name "log" in them. Almost all the logs will be unnecessary to keep. You can manually delete a few hundred files that way.

That's very strange. Oakspear, if you still have a copy handy, look up Genesis 6 and read the center reference in the Companion Bible on the verses. There should be a breakdown of the "nephilim" and multiple meanings for the word "fallers". I KNOW the definitions I squeezed down were there.....

Rascal, that Acts 29 song was "He Needs You", I believe. It was the next-to-last song on "It's Hot" (or was it the LAST song? I think it was the LAST song.) Did anybody else "see" the story unfolding in "I'm Gonna Stand"? Acts 29 did confirm that it was based on actual events. I expected that-it sounded too familiar....

Refiner, you do Mike a disservice by underestimating his ability to embellish. According to the PFAL book and class, "this is a book on keys" "this is a class on keys". They were to unlock the text of the Bible, to aid in understanding. Mike is saying that PFAL is not a set of keys, but the text itself. It replaces the Bible on your shelf, which vpw claimed to love but Mike calls things like "unreliable fragments" and "tattered remnants".

That was "Eagle Inside". No relation to "Like an Eagle". Heh. Some of my favourite songs either never reached the Bookstore, or came out after people left. Tom Burke's album "A Fistful of Scriptures" (which I got at an ROA) had some good calls. I especially liked "I'll Never Leave You Alone" and "True to That Call". "...Slow down for a moment, my wandering one, Put your frail, tiny hand in my own. When you were a stranger, I made you My son, Did you think I would leave you alone? I love you, yes I love you, And I'll never leave you alone..." ======== "And Lord, may I always be true to that call, I want to be part of Your story. And Lord, may I serve You with all of my all, Til I stand before You in glory..." ============ Let's see....Acts 29 songs I especially liked... "When You Love Someone". "Whatever it takes, Father, that's what I'll do. Someone did it for me, now I'll do it too. I'll find that special heart today...." "God First". "God said it? That settles it. I'm a believer, baby! What next, God? You betcha!" Breakthrough. I'm probably the only one who'll list "Same Old Lie." (It STILL is, for that matter.) Billy Falcon. "My Heart Is Fixed". "Never Been Knocked Out." "Heart of a Lion." How about "Heart of a Champion?" "I will never allow what I'm feeling to keep me from being what God's called me to be. My emotions may come, and they may go, but God's truth is for eternity..."

Raf, it was called "Loving You,", if memory serves.

NO, that's NOT in the Companion Bible. Bullinger takes the other POV, and I copied notes from that Appendix into my Bible. Said "sons of God" and "daughters of men" were both HUMANS, and gave an explanation for it. It holds together nicely, although I know some don't agree with it.

Hm. That would be SO typical, wouldn't it? As well as fit in with the zero-sensitivity for which he's famed. Who ISN'T familiar with the famous rejoinder? Guy goes up to a chick in a bar or someplace, makes a crude suggestion or proposition, and receives her drink in his face (or her right hook.) When he returns to the knot of guys laughing hysterically at him, he "explains" that she was not interested in him, because she was a lesbian. After all, what other POSSIBLE explanation could there be for her to refuse Tony Testosterone, stud that he is? This "explanation" was originally made famous in Aesop's Fable of the Fox and the "sour grapes"...the fox announced they were sour right after he realized he couldn't reach them...

I'd also appreciate it if you retitled the subject line so there isn't a swear-word in the main index, please.
