I think my folks were at that one. They said one was in Athens, no, an Advance Class. I'd ask them now, but they are on their way to the one this weekend
Didn't they review the blue book last time? Or maybe that was a couple of them back.. Really seems to me they are grasping at straws on what to teach, and everyone going is just going because it's a requirement, because I don't they really get anything helpful out of them..
Oh yeah, they teach you how to "believe" better.. As if that will do any gppd. How to grit your teach and ignore the world around you while you just mentally ascent to your own belief.. Just what the world needs, more hot air!

I find it ironic how young people still being supported by their parents are able to attend the ACS, while the parents can't go because of debt. Yeah...I'm sure the kids are sooo much more spiritually mature because they are debt-free. TWI exercises so much logic and wisdom in the category of their debt policy. Ohhhh, wait a minute.... my bad. It appears there is no policy regarding debt. <_<
Last week, I was able to get hold of the reel-to-reel tapes of the AC from Rye, New York. (I'm thinking that the year was 1968).
d,
Perhaps the year was 1972? I remember seeing a picture of the Advanced Class participants when it was held in Rye that year in an old Way Magazine.
Also, I'm not sure there were enough "believers" in NY to hold an Advanced Class in 1968 (but I could be wrong about that - any of the "groovy Christians" here at GS know differently?)

I wasn't there.
Depending on the source, the Groovy Christians started with the House of Acts/Haight-Ashbury Christians
in 1967 or 1968. (TW:LiL says 1967, the official timeline says 1968, and is probably correct.)
If they arrived in early 1969 in Rye, by late 1969 there would be enough of them to justify a class.
1970 was when Life Magazine ran their article, and the Groovy Christians were already a reality by the
time they WROTE it, let alone RAN the article.
If I were to make a guess, I'd guess 1969-1970 was the class.
There were no way folks in Rye before summer of 1970. The advanced class was spring of 1972. I can't believe anyone still has the tapes from that (or that anyone cares). Amazing.

The last AC I attended, was a video tape session in 1981, of the 1979 Live Class,
(Which I was at -- (Still hearing Beautiful Ohio in my head!) :D
Is there *new revelation* (COUGH!!) *present truth* (these days)??

Advanced class?...Let's see now...oh yeah...this is where they learn how to receive "revelation" from God...
...And who better to teach this than the folks who have demonstrated their mastery of hearing God's voice...I mean, just look at their track record...

Yea, you can't get revelation until you have the advanced class. LOL
Someone tell all 3 of those who are going.

Do you still have to take the Advanced Class Test? Can I substitute the Genuine Bible Scholar Test instead?

And it has to be the latest version of the class. Otherwise you can't get revelation any more. God turns it off.

For the Foundational Class you HAD to speak in tongues...
For the Intermediated Class you HAD to interpret and prophecy...
For the Advanced...What? Walk on water? Raise the dead? Oh I know - SEE SPIDERS COMING OUT OF NOSES! (oh wait - wrong group
)
Maybe they'll come up with a new theory for the Original Sin....
I'd rather do the laundry...
