Much depends on the non-audio belief. I'm sure there's a few, even if stated offhandedly, you might take exception to, were they to be tacked on to someone's posts here. You're speculating. You do better with factual things, it seems. |

news Rob Adelman said: That would be arguable. Arny?? You who demand double blind, level matched, down to the x degree absolute proof before even admiting the possibility that something might exist? How inconsistant is that? Krooger doesn't understand audio, so he whines for "proof" of personal preferences. This would be a lie. I accept personal preferences, but I don't take all of them at face value. Krooger does understand that having faith is so easy, it's accessible even to him. Here's the question: Does Middius have any real faith? Like other brain-dead ideologues, the simple "I believe in God" leads to the corollary "If it weren't true, I'd be wrong." Meaning? Rather than placing the God business in the larger context of reason versus faith, his diseased mind transmutes that perverted logic into "I can't be wrong because then I'd have no reason to live." Of course this statement is only a fabrication of the Middius mind, known to be quite diseased in its own right, or would that be its only wrong? From there, it's a short leap to the obdurate denials that faith is even involved. Again, Middius is basing this on nothing that I actually said. Kroologic -- they don't teach it in schools, and for good reason. Yet another one of Middius' negative hypotheses. When people can't think like Middius can't think, it pre-deconstructs just about everything they write. |

You have every right to think and believe what you want to but don't insult other people's views. Far less insulting than your gag order Andrew, to be sure. jesus is not my lord nor the lord of about 2\3 of this planet. I think we can all agree that Jesus is not perceived as being your Lord or as Lord of about 2/3 of the people on this planet. But guess how Bob and I feel about your typical Hindu deity or Mohammed? I assure you that you can mention your favorite Hindu deity or Mohammed or whatever all day long without any gag orders falling from our lips. Psychologists will often tell you that acceptance of the rights of others to express their ideas, basically comes from self-confidence. Shouldn't psychologists be more concerned about people that believe in fairy tales that were developed to control people and take their money. oh wait, then the shrinks would be out of business. Andrew, your aggressive punitive behavior is symptomatic of lack of confidence in what you say you believe. I am an atheist...and I don't appreciate people making ridiculous, unsubstantiated, unscientific proclamations about fairy tales as reality. Believe what you will, but why should I pretend that your imaginary friends exist? |

Somehow Weil never seems to achieve the same levels of candor with himself. Hopefully, this shows the reason why RAO heaps so much scorn on Mr. Krueger *and* makes your initial statement about him misguided. Weil, you can't do a good job of claiming to be a winner when you and yours are always whining about the horrible things I keep doing to you. The worst thing I've ever done to any of you guys is just make you eat your own words - words that you aggressively and eagerly posted of your own free will. You've even tried to blame me for that! Yeah Weil, I'm talking about your technical incompetence, your nearly-transparent deceptions, your lousy logic and misunderstanding of relevant facts, your childish emotional outbursts, your denials of your precarious personal state, past poor choices and negligible accomplishments; your intellectual laziness, the gratuitous but veiled attacks on my family, your profanity, the stream of fantasy pedophilia that your co-conspirators keep posting, etc., etc., etc. It's a really grim picture Weil, and you can't deny any of it because it's all in google and you know it! Like I've told you many times before Weil, you should quit while you are only this far behind. Talk about childish emotional outbursts! All over the fact that I agreed to evalaute some speakers... Now I *know* that Mr. Bass will be seeing this cross-posted message. Yes Mr. Bass, *this* is the Arnold Krueger that we have to suffer over at RAO. |

That's because Weil is a little more subtle than the guys like Middius, Singh, Graham, and Phillips who blatantly post their pedophile fantasies here. He's kinda tries to tail gate on them. He makes vaguer references to the same issue, ones that he hopes I'll recognize and react to. Can you name any of these "vaguer references" for Mr. Bass? I'll have to say that up until now, I was surprised that you never lumped me in with those who have made those accusations. I *was* a little surprised, because you tend to include me in all of your revenge scenarios, but I figured it was because you *knew* that I had never participated in those wild comments. Now, you've just proved that my initial assessment is correct. Mr. Bass, I hope you take note of this, for the record. I will note, for the record, that I have never knowingly participated in any such claims of paedophila regarding Mr. Krueger. This reminds me of when Arny lumped me into a group of people who had made "horrific comments" about the death of his son. I was ****ed, because I clearly drawn the line at that sort of behavior, and never participated in it or condoned it in any way. My mistake was to finally object to Arny using Nate's death as a debating trade tool while arguing with Zip. That qualified, in Arny's twisted mind, as a horrific comment. (He came up with that only after I had pressed him for several days on the matter, once again proving how Arny uses Nate's death to score points in an imaginary contest with complete strangers on the Internet.) As far as bringing up Arny's pederasty here on RAO, I certainly do that, because I want him to leave. It isn't that I think he's a pedophile, or know it but cannot prove it...he did it right here for everyone to see! I don't want a sick, twisted person passing himself off as an audio expert here. (This last paragraph was directed at Mr. Bass, and not you, dave...obviously.) Boon |

No. I'm stating that I had a personal experience which changed my mind about the subject. I will quote your statement. There are no absolute truths (except that Jesus is Lord). That has no statement of your personal experience. You state it to be an absolute truth, not a personal truth. What more need be said. You can waffle and change the goalposts all you want. My argument is with your initial statement. Grant Kinsley MD Here's how it works for me. I'm certain enough of the veracity of my beliefs to base my life on them. I'm happy enough with the results of living that way to want to share my beliefs. However, I'm not so hung up on my beliefs that I insist that you follow them. My responsibility is to say what I think may be helpful to others. What you do with that information is your choice. If some mindless parochial school teacher tried to beat faith into you as a child I can do nothing to change that. If some overbearing Christian tried to shove his faith down your throat so that you now find Christianity repugnant, I can do nothing about that either. Even if you choose to take offense at my simple comments for no reason at all I can do nothing about it. Read my other posts, and you'll find I have no problem with Christians, I have a problem with those who have the audacity to state their beliefs as an absolute truth. That you wish to believe in it is fine, that you wish to define it as an absolute truth is not, as it is not. I can only say that I made a decision to believe many years ago and the results were nothing less than spectacular. For me that is proof enough. Note, however, that the proof is a result of a decision to believe -- not the other way around. And this defines Jesus is Lord as an absolute truth in exactly what way?? I would beg to differ. No need to beg. To quote another USENET poster's wry sig line, "Umbrage is free. Take all you want." |

If I'm right you have a desparate need in your life. If I'm worng you may or may not have a desparate need in your life. Actually you said "There are no absolute truths (except that Jesus iis Lord)" would be the exact quote" either way you have defined your religious beliefs as an absolute truth, which is patently incorrect. Grant Kinsley MD It's not that I don't like Christians or Christian ideals, but I don't like those that try to presuppose that their ideas are absolute truths... which by fiat makes others ideas absolute untruths (regarding religion, or lack thereof) Naah. There is a lot of value in most religions and belief systems. I've been enjoying the book, "The Alchemist," by Paulo Coelho over the past few days. The protagonist is Christian but as he travels through the book's journey he learns much of value from people of diverse faiths. I have many Orthodox Jewish clients whose lifestyle and faith is very different from mine. Yet I have learned much about life and relationships from some of them. now maybe you will realize why you have been roundly criticized for your statement. As this is a text medium I hadn't noticed your rotundity. Criticism is part of USENET. I've been more severely criticized for refusing to attack Arny than for off-handedly mentioning that Jesus is Lord (which He is). No you said that Jesus is Lord is an absolute truth, which it is not. You may believe it, I don't and the majority of the world don't and the evidence is sparse at best that he was anything more than an average Joe. One cannot even ascertain reliably that he existed. Therefore to say that Jesus is Lord is an absolute truth is false. To say that you believe Jesus is Lord is something you believe to be true is as far as you can stretch your argument.Anything else is nothing more than your attempt to suggest that your belief system is the only correct one, and that others by fiat are incorrect.

I can't imagine how you people function with half the people you know thinking you're idiots. The most excruciating encounter I can remember with one of you is at a housewarming party a few years ago. A friend of the move-ins asked me to go with her. A frumpy-looking woman (later identified as being from the neighborhood, not an invitee) went around from person to person, asking "Do you know JEE-zus?" I actually heard her say it. I've never seen a party end that quickly. |

Prove it....that is such a scam. If there was an validity
to this healing thing some scientist somewhere on the planet would have acknowledged this. It would be well documented by some OBJECTIVE person. My older brother was diagnosed with fourth stage cancer almost five years ago. He had lung cancer from 40+ years of smoking. It had spread to his brain and adrenal system. There was a golf ball size tumor in the center of the brain. The surgeon said he had a 50/50 chance of surviving the operation but that in any event he would not last five months as the cancer had metastasized. I learned of this less than 24 hours before he was to undergo emergency surgery. I got a flight reservation and arrived at the hospital only minutes before they would wheel him into the operating room. Most of the family and many friends were already there. I asked the doctor to wait a moment, got everyone around the gurney and we began to pray. I don't know any fancy, memorized prayers. I just asked Jesus to save my brother's life. We all prayed together and I figuratively handed my brother over to the Lord. Then they took him away. Five and a half hours later the doctor came out to tell us that the surgery was a success. They had removed all of the cancer from my brother's brain. It wasn't ganglion so they got it all in one operation. The bad news was that the brain cancer was secondary; that his body was full of the disease. We cried but still trusted God as best we could. I must admit that my faith isn't as strong as some. I believed God but I had lingering doubts. Not everyone is healed and very few are ever healed of fourth stage cancer. The operation was on a Friday in late December, right after Christmas. Eight hours after the surgery my brother awoke; disconnected the monitor cables from his head, chest and arm; got up and walked out of his room in the intensive care unit. This triggered an alarm and the nursing staff came running. They made him go back to bed. The next day when we came to visit he was sitting up, telling jokes and asking for his favorite breakfast, ovos rancheros -- spicy, Mexican-style, scrambled eggs. On Sunday he was released from the hospital. The doctors said his progress was unbelievable. But he still had cancer in his lungs and adrenal system. He was still under the sentence of death. We continued to pray, grateful for every day that we could still share with my brother. After a month or two he went in for a chest X-ray. Something was wrong. The doctor looked at the film and opened the previous one again. The cancer in his lungs was shrinking! Within three more months it was completely gone. A lung biopsy showed lots of cancer cells -- all dead and in the process of being slowly absorbed, replaced by pink, healthy lung tissue. We finally had real hope but his adrenal system was still full of cancer. Another biopsy was ordered. The doctor pulled out sample after sample from my brother. There was no sign of a living tumor. This year we will celebrate my brother's fifth cancer-free Christmas. We thought we would never have another one together. You can dismiss it all as luck, medical treatment or whatever you like. My brother asked his doctor what he thought had happened. He said, "It's a miracle. You were healed."

Reading my previous post again, I think I was unfair. I didn't mean to
imply that I believe anything regarding these alleged fantasies. AFAIK they never occurred. Just as I choose not to try to dig up dirt on Arny, I'm not interested in a witch hunt against you. You are truly fooling yourself if you think that your pompous, evangelical way of dealing with things is respectful to anyone. |

"Arny Krueger" wrote in message ... "Sockpuppet Yustabe" wrote in message "Robert L. Bass" wrote in message ... I have also experimented with some of the things Jesus said and found them to be reliable and repeatable. You have no idea what Jesus might have said. I have no absolutely certain idea what zillions of historical figure that are routinely quoted, actually said. Neither do you or anybody else. Given the SOTA of digital imaging and audio, I have no absolutely sure idea what zillions of contemporary figures said or are saying. I don't have a clue as to who you really are. So what? All you have read is what someone else said that Jesus said, Ditto for those zillions of historical and contemporary figures. and you are not reading it in the same language as it was written. Ditto that, too. Did Caesar say: "You too, Brutus?". I'm really sure he didn't! (Shakespeare has him saying it in a work of historical fiction) I'm sure that just about everybody with a brain knows that, too. I guess that proves that all kinds of literature and history books are full of lies. Or convenient fictions. Or useful abstractions. As to all of your above comments, thank you very much for supporting my point about the Bible. So what's your point sockpuppet Yustabe except that you're deceptively trying to uniquely saddle the Bible with an extremely widespread problem? Hey, you've tried to do the same thing with ABX, so maybe I should take heart... The point is that one cannot take the Bible literally. I am sorry that you are too stupid to understand that. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Mr. Bass, I hope you take note of this, for the record.
Noted. As far as I'm concerned this whole "fantasy" thing is probably just a USENET flame anyway. I'm much more interested in your thoughs on audio than what someone else says you may or may not have done somewhere else at some time in the past. The same applies to Arny. I'd rather read his ideas about wave form propagation than someone else's ideas about Arny. I will note, for the record, that I have never knowingly participated in any such claims of paedophila regarding Mr. Krueger. Good. Mr. Bass, please read until the end. I will have a comment to offer. OK. Mr. Bass - please compare and contrast my answers to you and Arnold's. Hopefully, this shows the reason why RAO heaps so much scorn on Mr. Krueger *and* makes your initial statement about him misguided. Perhaps I was unclear. I have looked at RAO maybe twice in the six+ years I've been active on USENET. One thing I have noticed is that whenever there's a newsgroup war on any forum both sides claim (and probably believe) that the majority of other participants stand beside them. In most cases neither is right. I came here to share my ideas and to learn from the ideas of others. That includes you and Arny. OK??? |
