Haven't checked Roberts, so I wouldn't know. And I don't know how you haven't seen evidence that Hagin or Copeland plagiarized Kenyon, except that you either haven't looked for it or have a strange definition of plagiarism. I haven't seen evidence of the existence of binary star systems, but I'm sure if I looked for it, it wouldn't be that hard to find. Google: Kenyon Plagiarism Copeland Hagin Wierwille and you'll probably find the evidence you've missed to date. Better yet, leave Wierwille off your search, since that will actually cut down the number of hits (far fewer people have heard of or care about Wierwille than Copeland or Hagin).

No, plagiarized. There's a difference between citing someone and lifting paragraphs wholesale without citing them. It was downright, flat-out plagiarism. but before this becomes another plagiarism thread, the point of bringing up Kenyon is that so much of these "word faith" doctrines can be traced back to his influence.

Copeland, Hagin and Wierwille have something else in common. All plagiarized Kenyon. Liberally.

I may be jumping the gun on this: Felix is pounding Nicaragua as we speak, at Category 5 strength, but forecasters are looking at another system just off the east coast of the U.S. The system is moving southeast, which is unusual. It's expected to turn back around as most storms do, and if it strengthens, it will be Gabrielle. What happens next? Well, either it hits the coast or it goes north the way most of last year's storms did. Who knows? Let's just keep an eye on it.

Oops. Sorry. :)

It's more than a week, WW. Jumpstart this game for me, willya?

Go Yanks!

I Hope You Dance is a nice one. Thank You For The Music by Abba works, too.

New movie: "Son, where did you get that gun?" "My mom gave it to me." *** "What's wrong with this man?" "There was gunplay, sir, and he missed it."

Dang, I guess I'll have to come up with another one. This was Scrooge, a 1970 musical starring Albert Finney as Old Eb and Alec Guiness (!!!!!!!!) as Jacob Marley. And yes, it was a musical.

It never ceases to amaze me, the torturous logic people go through to justify the corruption of TWI. A man who should know better takes a woman's hand and puts it on his pants to show off his erection, and we're supposed to excuse the behavior because the real point is being blessed that the man was healed. Holy cow! Are you flogging kidding me? A minister of God shows bestiality porn, and we're supposed to be figuring out what beneficial purpose he must have had in mind for it. Shutthefrontdoor! This a joke? Hey, here's my reason for VPW showing the bestiality porn. It's not because he was pushing bestiality. It was because HE GOT OFF ON IT. Think about it: it's the only reason that makes sense. There is no Christian reason to show such a thing (don't agree? fine: show it to your kids, and invite the cops to observe you doing it). If this is legalism, I'm down for more of it. The licentiousness being shown by axcusing such abhorrent behavior is utterly despicable.

YEah, whatever. Talk about no point arguing.

Oh please, Larry. Healing or no healing, miracle or no miracle, there's no excuse for what he did. And it wasn't beautiful, it was lecherous. How are these things even arguable?

Come on, guys. It's not Alastair Sim, the Muppets or Mr. Magoo. And it's not Scrooged. So, was there another version of this story any of you saw?

Ok, I won't judge the man. What I will judge is the expression that what he did was "beautiful." That wasn't a spur of the moment thought.

Some basic rules of etiquette: If you are a man, do not, in a public setting, take a woman's hand and put it on your pants in a bid to call attention to your erection. Ever. If you are a man experiencing an erection in public, keep it to yourself. No one needs to know how "blessed" you are. If you are at a swing club, cool. If you are at CHURCH, remain seated. And if it lasts more than four hours, congratulations. If you are a man, particularly a Bible instructor, the showing of pornography, particularly involving bestiality, is ALWAYS wrong. ALWAYS. At ALL times. Call me a legalist.

Ah!

While others try to rehabilitate the cockroach's legacy.

Obviously. I think it was inexcusable and everyone, you included, should have walked out on it.

.... as the two women did and as everyone else should have.

I see Pogo and Honda, which leads me to Pocahantas, but I don't see what a spectrum has to do with that.

Nnnnope. I hate people.

Alistair Sims is not in this movie. Ladies and gentlemen On behalf of all the people who have assembled here I would merely like to mention if I may That our unanimous attitude Is one of lasting gratitude For what our friend has done for us today And therefore I would simply like to say Thank you very much! Thank you very much! That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me I may sound Double-Dutch But my delight is such I feel as if a losing war's been won for me

Again, right track, not exactly the right movie. I need the correct title and the specific version.

Nope, but you're on the right track.
