Where's Martin Luther when you need him? I'm sure he could find another 95 Theses to write on Mike's idolatry and nail them to his forehead. If you can find a twelvepenny nail, I'll spring for the hammer, Marty! The fool hath said in his heart, "PFAL is the Word of God..."

He's dropped Research Geek's name before, even claimed to be him at one point. I don't believe he's even talked to the man. Just one more ludicrous statement he can't sell...

--> The point was that VPW warned CG that LCM would act pretty much like how you're acting now, namely, feeling like he had the line on true spiritual perception, and further warned him of the consequences, namely, that it would sound genuine, but deliver no one.

I found my copy of Karl Kahler's book this morning. From the opening chapter, Karl quotes Dr. Wierwille (from POP): (emphasis mine)Sounds awfully familiar...

I think Mike just jumped the shark for good...

Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum. Trans. "When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."

Ah. So God's to blame for VPW's evils, not VPW. Guess God should have mastered PFAL more... So, I guess when properly mastered, Matthew 22:37-39 should read like this: Mike 22:37: Some guy said unto him, Thou shalt love the Vic thy Doc with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38: This is the first and great commandment. 39: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love the Class as thyself. Didn't Dr. Wierwille once say that idolatry was the most outward sign of those who are born again of the seed of the serpent?

But, but, but....doesn't God handing down the Holy PFAL Lithographic Plates™ to VPW qualify as sorta-kinda training?

Join the Illuminati and See the World...Differently. Some are born to lead, some are born to follow. Others, we just have to shoot in the head. Everything is controlled by a small secret group, to which, unfortunately, no one we know belongs. If tin whistles are really made from tin, then what is baby oil made from? In God We Trust--All Others Must Pay Cash.

No, Mike, you cannot have it both ways. You can't just rule on what was correct and what was not as it suits your theories. You don't get to pick and choose. Remember, Wierwille said that the entire Word had to be true or none of it was true. So far, you have proven nothing. Your rationales are all circular, leading directly back to what is little more than private interpretation on your part, yet you have puffed yourself up so large in your own mind that you no longer recognize truth from error. You simply declare yourself to be right, over and over again, although you hide it in stupendously long posts that are as void of actual content as your mind appears to be of reason. That you have been physically deceived is obvious to any; that you have been spiritually deceived is abundantly manifested in the fruit of your ministry. You judge and condescend, abuse and annoy, all the while claiming that you are the innocent victim. You handle the Word of God deceitfully, twisting it to your own ends, trying to elevate Wierwille's works to canonical status. It's rare that one sees true blasphemy, but it is remarkable that it comes so naturally to you. I think you're a perfect example of why Jesus recommended millstones be hung about the necks of some. Pity you put the words of Wierwille above the words of Christ.

The 1979 Advanced Class is also the one in which Wierwille taught that all cancer is a devil-spirit. Since he died from cancer, and had suffered from it for quite a while, he was under devil-spirit influence when he delivered his last teaching. We don't know how far back he succumbed to devil-spirit influence, but we do know the last teaching was well after he was diagnosed with cancer. What's that bit in the (real) Word about not giving heed to doctrines of devils? Now, if Wierwille lied to us in the 1979 Advanced Class, or even if he was simply mistaken, he was not giving us the Word of God, merely the words of a man. If he was not lying or mistaken, then all of what he said for the last part of his life was tainted of the Adversary, so his last-teaching admonition to "master" all this stuff could very well be a trick of the Adversary to deceive the very elect. My God is not the author of confusion. The god of anyone who still believes in this self-contradictory dogma must be someone else, then.

If some pinhead came in here and not only thought Mein Kampf had some good points in it, but was actually straight from God's mouth, I'd have absolutely no qualms about calling him an evil son of a bitch, either.

Dot: Fish is ok, but make sure you vary the kinds you eat, though. You can also get some of the things vegetables lack if you keep eating dairy products and eggs, too.

Any readers out there contemplating signing up and posting, please do so. However, if you are a rude, passive-aggressive control-freak who is hell-bent on canonizing PFAL and its human author as direct manifestations of God's will, then you deserve whatever you get.

You might want to read this paper, which debunks a lot of the vegetarian myths. http://www.caravanetresor.com/vegetarian_myth.htm

WordWolf: Interesting! I'll file that away for future mastery. ;)-->

Ever see the original "Terminator" movie? Remember this line, when Michael Biehn is being interrogated at the police station?

I already tried this. Mike feels if he declares at least one of Wierwille's works as non-canonical, he gets off the hook on this one. That's why the Advanced Class is not in Mike's Testament.

Oh, but Rafael! What you'd see if you really tried to master PFAL instead of being a young whippersnapper is that when Dr wrote that in the Word™, he was just using a figure of speech. See? Now it all makes five-senses, um, sense, too. The figure is called, in Latin, fabricatio in toto, or total fabrication. It is used when someone wants to express a false statement as true in order to use it as a basis to prove another false statement. According to the rules of relational logic, any material implication with a false antecedent trivially leads to a true conditional. "If pigs fly, then Rafael is the true Queen of Luxembourg." "If PFAL is the Word of God, then Wierwille was a true apostle." Get on the ball, Your Royal Highness... ;)-->

If God had intended for us to subsist on bunny food, He would have given us flat teeth. Vegetarianism is more like a religion than a diet. Balance your foods, keep variety in your cuisine, take a walk, and cut down on your total calories.

Mike: That's what the Doctrinal section is there for.

Thanks! I'm still sorting through the raw frames to find good ones to process, but they should get a lot better once I get the hang of this new camera. I have quite a few shots of M42, the Great Orion Nebula, but the infant stars inside it were overexposed. I may be able to salvage something from them, though.

It only works if it's on an internet server, not on your PC. If your internet service provider gives you any personal web age space, you can use that to post your picture to, then post the address of the uploaded picture as your avatar. The catch is that it's supposed to be 48x48 pixels square.

Here's another. This is a composite of the Saturn pic and a larger pic of Jupiter I shot the following night. I didn't know it at the time, but I caught its moon, Io, casting an eclipse on the cloudtops. Io is to the left of Jupiter and the shadow is at the lower right of the planet.
