  1. I imagine that LCM role would require someone with male genitals, wouldn't it? That would seem to eliminate Big Bird and Kermit from consideration.
  2. I may have posted this once before... This song contains some of the greatest blues guitar solos ever recorded IMO. Quick backstory: during some down time in the studio, the band started an impromptu jam. The producer, Tom Dowd, liked what he heard and surreptitiously turned on the tape recorder. This explains why the song "fades in". So...one of the greatest recordings in rock history was done without a rehearsal, in one take, five-piece live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK9E6-Eu3-Y
  3. This thread is unbelievable. The more I learn about TWI, the more it sounds like a David Lynch movie. Could this be true? Did this Weirwille character have any redeeming qualities? If they made a movie about TWI, who would play Weirwille? I never met him but I'm thinking Al Pacino (think "The Devil's Advocate") or Dennis Hopper (think "Blue Velvet"). And who would play that Martindale scumbag? Jack Nicholson maybe? (think "The Witches of Eastwick").
  4. Great posts, guys. "Sittin'" is song with its own Wiki page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitting_on_Top_of_the_World
  5. As a fan of electric blues, I consider this to be one of the greatest performances ever. If you like Cream, I suggest that you turn this up as loud as you possibly can...
  6. Yeah, baby! That was fvcking great.
  7. I was thinking some more about this... Aren't we, and all sentient beings, cheating death from the moment we're concieved? Or...I suppose of one believes "predestination", then your fate was written long ago.
  8. I think you're right. And now you got me thinking of the beginning of the movie "Look Who's Talking". Life begins at conception for all animal species. That is, when an egg is fertilized. For most plants, it begins when a seed germinates. These are textbook biological facts. In addition, fetuses respond to light and sound stimuli in the womb. This can be seen every day in any ob/gyn's office. I think it has even been shown that "learning" of sorts can take place in utero, although I could be wrong -- I can't cite a study. I suspect that you already know all of this.
  9. One of my favorite songs of all time... This is the original four-man group (Bernie Leadon on guitar w/ Glen Frey) in a 1973 concert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44_rtJxPg0s
  10. I suppose if one needed a definition of "soul music" this pretty much says it all.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x293voLm2bI
  11. I love that song...so sad.Here's my tribute to St Patrick's Day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtCAhb5QGSo
  12. I always had a weakness for bubblegum pop... This version doesn't have the killer harmonies that she dubbed over herself on the bridge in the 1963 original. If you have a chance, listen to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgcy-V6YIuI
  13. Pure darkness, this song is. Don't let the Ozzie and Harriet video throw you off.
  14. Altogether, to me, it sounds a lot like what most Christians believe.
  15. You got me thinking...was God with King David every minute of his life? Or was Satan with him when he took Bathsheba and killed Uriah? Or maybe what David did was somehow okay because Uriah was a Hittite? This has to do with biblical inerrancy, I think.
  16. You didn't push my buttons. I'm in a good mood tonight so I'll use a smiley face: Now, In another thread someone mentioned Karen Armstrong, have you read any of her books? I'm clueless when it come to religious writers.
  17. How about the execution of 3,000 brothers, friends and neighbors in Exodus 32:27? And the hurtling of large hailstones at retreating Amorites and Gibeonites in Joshua 10:11? Sorry, this might be a little off-topic.
  18. She didn't abandon the ministry because of doctrine -- she holds fast to almost all of it. She and her husband resigned (is that the right word?) from Way Corps in the late (or early?) 90s because of what she claimed to be a "witch hunt" that was going on. Indeed, I have been planning to, but I want to formulate my questions coherently, so I'm taking my time. Same here. So you SIT before you entered TWI?
  19. Great post, Steve. I recently did a quick Google search on the "idiom of permission" and it seemed to me that the only people who talk about it are indivuduals who are (or were) members of TWI or it's offshoots. My friend believes, for example, that God did not "harden Pharoah's heart" in Exodus, nor does she believe that God caused the plagues -- in both instances, He "permitted Satan to do it." (To me, purposely letting something happen and actually doing it are almost the same thing, but that's neither here nor there.) Is this the official Way doctrine...that Satan caused the plagues? This is something I've been strugling with recently, along with the concept of predestination. I don't know if I buy either one. But...I still have to think about it some more.
  20. Thank you for that geisha. This Open Theism makes God out to be a bit mellower than what most people think of him as -- more of a "nice guy" (I guess maybe that should be Nice Guy, with caps). So I can see why many Christians would have problems with it.
  21. I have listened to many hours of CES/STF/CFFM classes and, judging from what I have read in this forum, virtually all of it is Way doctrine warmed up. Which makes sense to me since my ex-Way friend (who sent me the classes) may have left the ministry but she hasn't abandoned the doctrine.
  22. Why don't we break this discussion down some? I don't know as much as all of you ex-TWIers so here's my first question: What is the inerrant number of books in the canon of the Holy Christian Bible, 66 or 72? Most of us would probably say 66, but the Catholic church says 72. If the Catholics say that six apocryphal books belong in the canon, are they wrong? It would seem that somebody is errant.
  23. Excellent point. Probably never. But you can always stop reading it. Just a thought.
