tee hee. I'll allow it. ;)

While WordWolf correctly ascertained the point of my recent posts and accurately anticipated my response to the answers I received, I was (and still am) prepared to let it go. I think I made my point, but I thank my old friend for expounding on it to make it clear to everyone else. Been thinking a lot about the content of this thread and its implications for me personally, but in truth I have nothing to add to the discussion that already got too contentious for civil discourse more than once, for which I hold myself well more than half responsible. Be well, all.

You're good at this, George. :)

A very, very young major league pitcher helps Mel Gibson navigate the political turmoil of Indonesia during the rule of President Sukarno for 365 days. [same clue, with the titles now in the correct order]

A young Australian reporter tries to navigate the political turmoil of Indonesia during the rule of President Sukarno with the help of a much-younger-than-typical major league baseball pitcher. (clue: borrowing from you guys, the title of the second movie is described first).

We've used that one already, but I love the variation.

Correct.

Johniam, I guess what I'm saying is, if VPW signed off on Earl Burton's class, then what Earl Burton taught is quite likely what VPW wanted taught, thus superseding his earlier presentation of the same principle. In other words, VPW clearly signed off on the "interpretation should be generally as long as the tongue" idea. I don't think the class instructors got all gestapo on the students. I think VPW did, and it filtered down.

It's called the Shepherd's Chapel. It's VPW is a guy by the name of Arnold Murray. Dr. Of course. Credentials in question, of course.

I recently stumbled across a cult that claimed the original sin was Eve having sex with Satan (in form as a man, not a woman) and that Cain was the product of that coupling. Eve later has sex with Adam and conceives Abel. Cain and Abel are born at the same time (twins, in effect, from different fathers, which I believe is medically possible). Tried to break it to the poor sap who told me this that he is in a full-blown cult, but he wouldn't hear of it. I know, shocking, right?

Gimme another c... I mean, hint.

I raise the question because if we are to distinguish Burton's class from VPW's class, we cannot ignore the fact that VPW endorsed Burton's class. If he thought there was anything wrong with it, he would have said so (and if it was the late 70s, they most certainly would have listened). If Burton was wrong about what VPW thought the manifestations should be, then VPW curiously did not call him on his error. And that's fine. No one said VPW was perfect. I mean, it's not like he felt the holy spirit field was an important area of study or something.

Anyone have a link to the threads that discussed LCM's alleged contention that the original sin was Eve having sex with the devil? Not looking to rehash the conversation, just to find it.

It is indeed.

Yup
