Life everlasting and freedom of the sons of god

by blownaway in

what is the craziest thing in the book life ever lasting and freedom of the sons of god 1966 book?.

I like how Ray Franz stated in COC that his uncle, Fred Franz, felt the need to decide what was appropriate for God Almighty to do.

Presumptuousness magnified to the nth degree!

in the market today, i walked down an aisle and glanced over at a middle-aged man and the woman beside him pushing a shopping cart.

i couldn't place the man but recognized the somewhat younger woman, a former student.

when the fellow started talking, i realized it was her brother, also a one-time student.

I hear you.

I tried to embed the Folk Alley Session with Jay Ungar/Molly Mason, but couldn't.

Neither the Civil War soundtrack.

Paul Roebling's reading of Sullivan Ballou's last letter to his beloved Sarah while Ashokan Farewell played in the background is a real tear jerker.

Thanks for this thread.

I believe Jay Ungar wrote this in 1982.

Makes me cry every time.

Apostrophe

by compound complex in

the lyrics to the song, "twinkle, twinkle, little star," are an example of apostrophe (not an apostrophe).

learn something new every day!.

twinkle, twinkle, little star, how i wonder what you are.

Would that I could sit in on your class!

This is new to me, also; and, oh, so fascinating.

Roll Call for the benefit of Newbies and Lurkers. In One Sentence tell why you left the Org.

by Wasanelder Once in

roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.

in one sentence tell why you left the org.

not 2 sentences.

I left WT because they took away our Lord and wouldn't say where they placed Him.

(Roughly paraphrasing Mary of Magdala)

just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

red, arrow, break.

Thank you.

I recognized some of the Arabic words because, years ago, I spent a little time with the Nation of Islam.

Interesting, too, is that different suffixes are used for male and female.
