thereporter's comments on the passing of R.B Thieme Jr are rather offensive. Whilst one can disagree with Thieme you still have to remember he was a Christian brother in Christ even as Truthtesty's mentor Dr Wall states in his thesis. It would be helpful thereporter if you controlled your verborrhea and put forward a succinct argument. Despite what you may think I am not an apologi

Since when have I been banned and why? I have said nothing offensive, have offered information, have been accused, vilified etc and now you say I am banned. First I know of it.

Sistersoap, I promised you another tidbit on Hebrew exegesis that one can follow through relatively easily. In Genesis 2:17 the text reads 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." Thieme translates the last part as "dying thou shalt die" (A New Species). This is a translation of th

[...] What about page 156 (page 267 of the original) where Dr Wall says: 3. Avoid ridicule of either Thieme himself and his ministry or his technical vocabulary. 7. Avoid attacking the personal life of Thieme or spreading any malicious gossip concerning him. [...] Dr Wall's thesis [...] page 156 (page 267 of the original) [...]: 5. Relax and don't get "up-tight&

I am with you Sistersoap on Truthtesty's less that honest responses. Why is it important about the false impression you make Truthtesty is because in your post of November 8, 2007 you proclaimed "I am an expert in the truth" yet you deliberately obscure it here. As to Dr Wall's thesis I do not believe you played any role. By the way the challenge you put to Sistersoap to

Sistersoap, Thank you for your August 20 post. From most of my experience with Thiemeites they in fact do not know Greek or Hebrew and often cannot read plain English. One can generally overcome the criticism of Thieme issue by using passages that say we must test the spirits etc, plus the example of the Bereans. Furthermore provided you do not lambast Thieme from the outset you can get the

Truthtesty, I did provide an explanation to you as to why I responded to your post and not Orange. Read what I wrote August 11. It was your "long bow" post that drew my attention. Far from dodging your challenge I did respond. Your August 20 post has now clarified what you meant by "political gain". It is not the way I would define the the use of the term but that is no

Truthtesty you need to prove your assertions: Truthtesy quote "Instead of truthful scholarly work much of Thieme's writings simply were falsifications for political gain, presented in an overly complex approach as to make it extremly difficult for the average christian to determine the lies presented.: Can you prove to me that Thieme's writings were "falsifications foir poil

Thanks Prebound for your post. Whilst disagreeing with a number of the teachings of R.B. Thieme Jr he was still a christian brother who served the Lord and now is face to face with Him to receive his reward.

Thank you Orange for your comments. Truthtesty, you seem in your rantings to be incredibly vindictive, emotionally wrought etc etc. Yes I am new to the forum only joining last Monday.

The only reason I commented on your comments Truthtesty was because you were the one making the statements that I perceived were a long bow. No I wasn't defending Thieme simply the linkages you made. Your anecdotal experiences were not challenged, for I too have seen some Thiemeites up close and personal both here and when I attended attended Berachah. The problem with anecdotal evidence,

Rather a long bow to draw that the Thieme cult carries "the violent psychotic potential of the Manson cult". Any organisation could be said to have some level of psychotic potential. It is dependent upon the individuals involved with so many personal and environmental factors that would need to be considered. That the perpetrator of such an heinous crime had read some of Thieme'
