Since the dawn of the television era, viewers have been exposed to and educated by countless morality plays.<br /><br />The problem is that the best of these present very realistic alternatives to Herbie’s cultic vision, which is the real reason why he wanted his acolytes to shut out and avoid fiction. This edict was yet another aspect of the total mind control which he tried to exert.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-27890273314965061332018-05-09T20:44:52.779-07:002018-05-09T20:44:52.779-07:00Fiction really can be a terrible waste of time.

Mine had a very small red and blue flower pattern all over it which for a male was a no no. I was new at the time so I was not reprimanded but I remember the looks a few people gave very well.<br /><br />Also being told I should not study biology at university because it taught evolution. Thank God I ignored that advice. I remember at the time telling the well meaning member that I would study evolution harder because so many members said that we evolved from monkeys and that evolution did not teach this therefore I wanted to learn more so that I could help members understanding of evolution better. That seemed to shut them up and they can't have reported me or I would have been out on my ear. <br /><br />A BSc and MSc later, rather than an AC degree, I'm happy I stuck to what I thought was right.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-83297465244037543582018-05-09T14:33:16.735-07:002018-05-09T14:33:16.735-07:00Yeah but one can date the remarks.

I acquired a new one yesterday and the first thing I looked up on that develish machine was Dennis Diehl on you tube's aron ra program on 55 inch just yards from my face.<br /><br />Hilarious, thanks Dennis for visiting.<br /><br />Ncknckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580008070423402328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-88729152598485856932018-05-09T14:03:51.358-07:002018-05-09T14:03:51.358-07:00What you just read were actual things that the min...What you just read were actual things that the ministry in the Church of God taught. I heard these exact same things growing up in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Dayton. These are just the minuscule tip of the iceberg. It is far worse than these.

What about all the magical things that go on? What about flying flaming chariots? What about the talking animals? Both Disney and the Bible are both ultimately about good vs evil. Both are good at using allegory, myths and stories to draw up from the inner depth of a person soul ways to be greater. <br /><br />It has also been said that HWA, GTA, Gerald Waterhouse, Rod Meredith, Gerald Flurry and other COG leaders have had demons. Just look at Bob Thiel and James Malm, demons seem to speak regularly to these guys. COG leaders are not immune to demons either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-42049172505772845432018-05-09T10:14:19.242-07:002018-05-09T10:14:19.242-07:00“Walt Disney: has a demon.
