My granddaughter, Clara Belle (that's short for Helen.), said, "Geeze, Grampaw, don't you guys know nothin'? Sickness comes from cooties."
That girl has a mind of her own.
She is correct. You gotta stay away from those cooties and if someone gives em to you then you gotta give them to someone else so you don't have them anymore.
See now we have proof hes not absent...Jesus on a cloud covered hoverboard...I think hes holding a copy of PFLAP!
That hoverboard is recent technology that must be a copy PFLAP Today
Although I will say, he bears a striking resemblance to the guy in that framed picture hanging on the wall in the old PFAL video…minus the cloud and the hoverboard of course…but come to think of it wierwille - probably had lingering smoke clouds and a drink cart near the production set.
My buddy calls me up and asks “why weren’t you at my Halloween party last night?”
I told him I was.
“Really?” He says “maybe I didn’t recognize you in costume- who did you go as?”
I said “the absent Christ.”
Ba dum bum…I’m here all week folks
Dude....I was at your last show and thought I would share a little of the video I captured....I'd always wondered why you wouldnt do two shows a night!

in my opinion Michael is still the best Batman - and he has great performances in Spotlight, Bird Man and Dope Sick.
of course, Beetlejuice, Night Shift, Mister Mom and Multiplicity showcase his funny side
This is part of what I posted on another thread> here- I thought it’s an interesting distinction to make with wierwille’s the Word takes the place of the absent Christ…
…an intellectual pursuit is substituted for developing a relationship with Jesus Christ and following in His footsteps; instead of WWJD = what would Jesus do?A TWI-follower’s subconscious motto tends to be WWwT = what would wierwille think?There’s little concern for imitating the selflessness and compassion of someone we think we know a lot about and so we don’t bother reading the Gospels because they’re not written to us anyway. Instead a TWI-follower will tend to frame a problem with what would wierwille think about that? When I was in-residence, we watched LCM’s video VP and Me and he explains at the beginning of his presidency he would visualize how wierwille would handle an issue. See a previous post on this thread> here…although if you go to the link I gave above – you’ll see how I developed this idea further

Well,
it's obvious, but only to those who lived through it and saw it directly, that in twi under vpw, when it was said that "The Word takes the place of the absent Christ," what's meant is that "wierwille's words take the place of Christ, who's not here to object." So, "What would wierwille think" really did become a thing, no matter who would be slow to admit it. Frankly, they probably should have just sold bumper stickers with that on them.

First off, Biblically speaking, Christ has never been absent...that doctrine does not come close to occuring anywhere in the Bible. Yet the way international teaches the word of God takes the place of
Bolshevik
Mike's apparent anger toward Christ and emphasis on obedience . . . that's Wayworld . . . that's the annihilation of the individual

Soooo...He used ONE verse from the Amplified Bible, HALF a chapter from the New English Bible and required PFAL '77 students to get some version from the 1800's that has a name so unremarkable you can

Yeah – I sure do! This is great! It’s like he’s breaking down all the fallacies wierwille pulls in PFAL.
Thanks for posting

I love it too. It underlines the problems with an approach like doing exegetical work with no background in it.
The same guys use their big toes for land mine detection.
