He was a great guy, and wonderful sense of humor. <br /><br />Funny part was Armstrong put the end to local pastors being private pilots. Then he got himself a corporate jet and flew around the world. I can see the safty issue because small planes are not that safe. But what about divine protection he preached about? Wouldn't God protect his local ministry in their travels...auto travel is much more hazardous.<br /><br />So Bill had to dump the plane...I don't think he ever got over that, he loved to fly, and always talked about flying big jets. <br /><br />Then He left the ministry and the church in the late 60's I believe.Michael D.

"Issued from the mouth of God," indeed. They issued from the pens of men who manufactured that God to their specifications. By the fruit of the tree, they have been amply proven not to be good. <br /><br />If, as you and many others like to maintain, the creation is too great to have arisen by chance, just how do you think a vastly more intricate, etc. "god" magically appeared somehow way, way back there in the mists of eternity? An anthropomorphized, human-like god besides? He obviously is patterned after a Middle Eastern despotic chieftain who is benevolent when it suits him and a terror to anyone he gets "crosswise" with if they refuse to kiss his rear end or happen to be in the way of "his people's" territorial aspirations.<br /><br />Sorry, I just can't stay silent about such nonsense, and professed sincerity of those who hold to it does not impress me.Allen C.

There is little else about your human body which you can use as such a tool, other than the physical conditioning which you do or don't do.<br /><br />That's probably why some have so much to say about what you do with your hair. People's mindsets have been shaken up on a regular basis by hairstyles. The minute the mainstream becomes accustomed to one style, someone goes and changes it.<br /><br />The WCG boogie woogie at the USO skinsides military haircut mindset has resisted ducktails, Beatle cuts, hippie, Joe College, surfer, punk rock, skinhead, mullet, mohawk, and just about every other non-yellow pencil innovation in style. That is indicative of those people's outlook on life. They are legalists who want every possible choice to be regimented and regulated. The NT passages regarding the great freedom a Christian enjoys all become nullified as Armstrongism filters them through the 613 OT laws of the Torah.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-2349794859637175942011-07-09T15:08:55.553-07:002011-07-09T15:08:55.553-07:00Could someone tell me in what way

They were very heavy handed in using these things to enhance their alleged authority. When you do this, it is a given that your abuse is going to make people hate precepts which were originally good when they issued from the mouth of God. <br /><br />You might teach someone to swim by throwing them into a lake and refusing to rescue them, but in doing that, you're probably not going to cause them to enjoy a lifelong love watersports. When teachers mess up the message, it produces an Isaiah 1 type of situation, in which both God and His chosen people hate the results, because the ritual behavior does not stem from love!<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-6934823286509041452011-07-09T14:10:43.797-07:002011-07-09T14:10:43.797-07:00By all means, we must keep those tempting women in...By all means, we must keep those tempting women in their place.
