- [[2026-08-ecclesiastes-comparative-translation-study|2026 Ecclesiastes 4–12 — Comparative Translation Study]] — Courtney's twelve-chapter Qohelet study, chapters 4–12 revised in-window; **seven translations side by side** including three Jewish (CJB, TLV, OJB) used to surface what Christian versions smooth over (OJB's retained *Bo're*/*bechurot*; the 4:17/5:1 Jewish-Christian versification seam); [[hermeneutical-genealogy|Hermeneutical Genealogy]] operationalized as a fixed template (Dominant Traditions / Suppressed Readings / Genealogical Surprises / Power Analysis); a Contemporary Voices panel with every entry tagged inference and each reader's method labeled — Levine's refusal of a supersessionist *Bo're*→Christ reading is a reusable guardrail, Gafney's "whose youth?" is the DEIB move; *zekhor* as covenantal reorientation, 12:7 as exact reversal of Genesis 3:19; six-phase-method concept page flagged (new 2026-09-04)
- [[readwise-worship-industry-economics-cluster|Readwise — Worship Industry Economics Cluster (2026-08)]] — six sources answering **who decides what a congregation sings and what they're paid for it**; CCLI's origin (Dec 1984 Bible Temple Portland, the $3.1M Archdiocese suit, Rachinski's blanket license, $75/yr 1985 → 450,000+ songs) as a genuine fix that became a metering system, then a chart, then de facto A&R; three administrators (Capitol CMG/Essential/Integrity) near **80% of the Top 100**, Integrity's own VP putting 50–55% of revenue in church licensing and 97% of that via CCLI; the conglomerate argument (advance-and-recoupment turns coercive when the incentive to keep an artist unrecouped flips from absent to present); **credit share as annuity** — writing-camp splits handed out by the pastors advising the writers who depend on them, a financial-coercion mechanism inside the [[Apostolic Authority]] structure (one disguised source; mechanism alleged, splits checked); Keith Green and Rich Mullins as two documented **revenue-model dismantlings** (Mullins's cap-and-don't-tell-me design is the portable one); Baucham's "affective principle" coinage and the 1950s-vs-1970s traditionalism debunk — diagnosis sharper than its evidence; supplies a fourth vetting question upstream of theology, origin and money: **who is credited, and did any of them hold authority over the writer?** (new 2026-09-04)
- [[readwise-branham-message-exit-cluster-2026-08|Readwise — Branham Message Exit-Testimony Cluster (2026-08)]] — eleven [[john-collins|John Collins]] episodes extending the wiki's existing six; **growth as campaign** (35 churches at [[William Branham]]'s 1965 death → ~250 by 1971; Six Day War timing, FGBMFI funding, a resurrected 1954 healing film, recruitment out of UPC/AoG/Apostolic congregations — *institutional non-condemnation is a recruitment asset*); the restoration chain → new concept [[restoration-narrative|Restoration Narrative]]; Shrode's audit of Liardon's *God's Generals* against court records and coroner's reports, turning on Liardon's line that personal problems "should be held separate from the call of God" — **"We didn't add a requirement for leadership. We traded one out."**; [[bob-scott|Bob Scott]] on the **corporate apostle** (GI Bill business education → 1980s consultant circuit → CEO governance; *diakonos* is a table waiter); the mechanism outside the movement — ECC's "spoken word" borrowing via Ern Baxter, Costa Rican **gradualism** and the *encuentro* (Adriana's teenage inference: the same people at every altar call), YWAM debt whiteboards produced by Values 13 and 16 rather than by bad actors; three checklist episodes (punished discernment; ordinary things weaponized so daily life needs the leader's mediation; tape home church, where the *inconsistency produced no friction*); ex-adherent advocacy throughout, mechanisms confident and genealogies provisional (new 2026-09-04)

- [[readwise-hebrew-bible-scholarship-cluster-2026-08|Readwise — Hebrew Bible Scholarship Cluster (2026-08)]] — nine sources, six [[dan-mcclellan|McClellan]]; the load-bearing claim: **there is no devil in the Hebrew Bible** (*satan* a generic noun for accuser/adversary, 27 occurrences, many of them human; "devil" enters only via Greek *diabolos*) — which undercuts the territorial-demon architecture in [[spiritual-warfare-theology|Spiritual Warfare Theology]] and Wagner's strategic-level warfare, and pairs with [[divine-council|Divine Council]] as the alternative model; four method demonstrations (the nativity accounts' incompatible *internal logic*, not just discrepancies; Numbers 16 as composite with the sons-of-Korah psalms as the external constraint; Leviticus 25's explicit Israelite-vs-foreign contrast and *ish* as a term of art; Exodus 22:28-29 arguing that literalism does not exist and the tradition, not the text, is the authority); the racial-claims episode's philology (Hebrew "white"/"fair" terms denote shininess/ruddiness, not race) with its closing motive judgment marked as beyond the analysis; Nicaea as a **stability operation** — an already-organized diocesan network as "a system of intel dropped into his lap," the same shape as [[translocal-networking-local-isolation|Translocal Networking, Local Isolation]]; the Wes Huff item kept as the wiki's worked example of the reaction-to-a-reaction format problem; Hebrew Roots as a **foundation** rather than corruption problem — the standing question to put to every movement (new 2026-09-04)

### Open and active
**New this cycle (2026-07-18 — automated):**
- **4 new source pages + 2 updates.** New: [[2026-07-17-mcclellan-let-us-make-man-divine-council|Dan McClellan — Let US Make Man in OUR Image?!?]], [[2026-07-13-data-over-dogma-lean-not-proverbs-3-5|Data Over Dogma — Lean Not on Your Own Understanding (and Other Conversation-Enders)]], [[2026-07-06-sermon-brainwave-1095-feeding-jabbok-romans9|Sermon Brainwave 1095 — Feeding of the 5,000, Jacob at the Jabbok, Romans 9]], [[2026-07-19-st-johns-ucc-esther-sadness-to-joy|St. John's UCC — Esther: From Sadness to Joy]]. Updated: [[Dan McClellan]] (2 sources + 2 position bullets; `updated`→07-18), [[Worship Songs Evaluated]] ("Shout to the Lord" reappearance logged 07-19; verdict stands). Content pages now: **sources 104** (+4).
- **⭐ The cycle's finding — a same-day McClellan pair on the *epistemology* of interpretation.** [[2026-07-17-mcclellan-let-us-make-man-divine-council|Dan McClellan — Let US Make Man in OUR Image?!?]] dismantles a doctrinal reading (Genesis 1:26 = Trinity) on historical grounds; [[2026-07-13-data-over-dogma-lean-not-proverbs-3-5|Data Over Dogma — Lean Not on Your Own Understanding (and Other Conversation-Enders)]] dismantles the *defense* that protects such readings — "you can only understand scripture with the Spirit" named as "the definition of special pleading." Two halves of one argument, ingested together — the historical case and the epistemic one. This is the **same "wrong-spirit" social-identity move** the 07-17 cycle documented in Bill Johnson's deflection of TPT critics; it now has a clean, self-aware statement of the mechanism.
- **⭐ Concept threshold crossed — divine council.** The [[2026-07-02-mcclellan-image-of-god-divine-council|Dan McClellan — What Does It Mean to Be Created \"In God's Image\"?]] page explicitly parked `concepts/divine-council.md` "below threshold... one more focused source would justify" it. The 07-17 video **is** that source — a dedicated treatment, not a sub-point. Two focused sources now do real interpretive work against Trinity proof-texting. **Top concept recommendation for the next directed session** (held here per the automated envelope).
- **Unplanned convergence — divine hiddenness.** Three of four sources touch God-not-directly-named: **Esther** never names God (bulletin); **Jacob** names the encounter, not the God, at the Jabbok (Sermon Brainwave); the **divine-council "us"** hides a pantheon inside a singular narrative (McClellan). Filed as an observation, not forced into a synthesis.
- **Unplanned convergence — Jewish-Christian sensitivity, from two directions.** The Esther bulletin proclaims Purim-joy during the Jewish **Nine Days** before **Tisha B'Av**; Sermon Brainwave 1095 carries an explicit **anti-supersessionism** caution on Romans 9. Two independent prompts, same cycle, toward careful Christian handling of Judaism — reinforcing the standing **supersessionism** concept candidate.
- **Concept/entity candidates strengthened (held for a directed pass, per envelope):** **divine council** (threshold crossed, above); **Working Preacher / Sermon Brainwave** (new entity candidate — cited across many bulletin pages, now with a dedicated source); **word-study-as-authority-move** (Strong's misuse, strengthened again) and a **thought-terminating-clichés / conversation-enders** concept candidate (Proverbs 3:5); **supersessionism** (reinforced). No new entity/concept pages created.
- **Skipped / off-domain (24h window):** two title-plausible near-misses caught by opening them — **"Better Way"** (nomad.blog; WordPress 7.1 release-leadership reflection, not theology) and **"Searching for Paradise"** (TED Radio Hour; secular recovery/travel/megafires — "paradise" is geographic, not eschatological). Also the large WordPress/AI/tech Readwise batch (~90 files: WP 7.1 Beta, Gutenberg Changelog, Syntax/ShopTalk, Hard Fork, Data Over Dogma **counted in**, etc.), the meeting note (experiment-showcase), and all Loop Reports / Site Health / Sermon-Notes-template files. **raw/** empty; **Bible/** and **Religious Research/** unchanged (0 in window). Recurring on-domain shows whose *this* episode was new: Data Over Dogma and Working Preacher (both ingested).
- **Automation note (unattended run):** the ingest workflow (CLAUDE.md step 2) normally pauses for Courtney's confirmation before writing pages. This is a scheduled run with no human present, so per the scheduled-task rule I proceeded autonomously on the 4 in-window on-domain sources and recorded the choices here — consistent with every prior automated cycle. Scope held to the established envelope: **source pages + entity/concept citations + index + log only.** All new entity and concept pages (divine council chief among them) held for a directed pass.
**New this cycle (2026-07-17 — automated):**
- **6 new source pages + 2 updates — the largest on-domain window since 06-09.** New: [[2026-07-16-bill-johnson-defends-passion-translation|Bill Johnson Defends The Passion Translation (Rediscover Bethel)]], [[2026-07-16-bethel-alumni-calls-out-passion-translation|Why This Bethel Alumni Is Calling Out the Passion Translation]], [[2026-07-16-remnant-radio-continuationists-cessationists|The Remnant Radio — Why Continuationists and Cessationists Keep Talking Past Each Other]], [[2026-07-16-rise-of-christian-record-labels|The Rise of Christian Record Labels (CCM History, Part 3)]], [[2026-07-16-off-code-lecrae-piper-confession|Off Code — Reacting to Lecrae's John Piper Confession]], [[2026-07-16-wired-word-religion-health-report|The Wired Word — Religious People Live Longer and Better, Says Report (7/19/2026)]]. Updated: [[Bill Johnson]] (first primary source; new TPT section; Open Threads re-scoped), [[The Passion Translation]] (2 sources; DARVO documented; two-tier confirmed; defense-and-eyewitness section; Source gaps re-scoped). Content pages now: entities 72 + concepts 43 + **sources 100** + analysis 65 + index + cross-wiki.
- **⭐ The cycle's finding — a matched pair on TPT, ingested the same day.** [[The Passion Translation]] has been a critic-corpus page since 06-09; its own Source gaps said so. It now holds **both sides**: [[Bill Johnson]] defending TPT in his own voice, and a BSSM graduate describing what it did to her. Three contradictions fall out. (1) **DARVO moves from anticipated to documented** — the concept page *predicted* deny/attack/reverse-victim; Johnson performs all three on camera. (2) **The stated limit is not the movement's practice** — Johnson says "I don't use it as a proof text" while the wiki has Parsley's congregation chanting TPT's inserted Psalm 81:10 decree and Daystar quoting TPT as Scripture unattributed. (3) **The epistemic-privilege inversion** — Johnson says critics are educated elitists out of touch with the "brand new believer"; the alumni says the *absence* of that education is what left her defenseless, and educated critics rescued the very readers he claims to protect. Same fact, opposite valence.
- **Unresolved discrepancy, deliberately left open.** Johnson (2021): "I only teach uh or write out of New American Standard or the New King James." The BSSM graduate (2012–2015): "Bill for sure would preach from them." ~6–9 years apart; "teach or write" may exclude platform preaching; hers is a classroom impression, not a cited sermon. **Not filed as a caught lie.** What survives: the qualification stayed private while the endorsement went public.
- **Cross-source convergence (unplanned).** Three of the six interlock without being about each other. Johnson deploys the Pharisee frame against scholarly critics; [[2026-07-16-remnant-radio-continuationists-cessationists|The Remnant Radio — Why Continuationists and Cessationists Keep Talking Past Each Other]] — two continuationists, sympathetic to his stream — independently traces that exact reflex to the 1904 Azusa Street class divide and names it an inherited defect. And [[2026-07-16-off-code-lecrae-piper-confession|Off Code — Reacting to Lecrae's John Piper Confession]] is a live instance of the "judge by the worst, not the best" mechanism that same Remnant Radio episode diagnoses. The critique of Johnson is available from *inside* the charismatic stream, which is the strongest form it can take.
- **Concept/entity candidates strengthened (held for a directed pass, per envelope):** **The Remnant Radio / Joshua Lewis** entity is now at **4 sources** — past threshold since 07-10 and the longest-standing deferral in this list; **Destiny Image** has a third independent line; **Dusty May Taylor** (BSSM alumni, admins the unofficial alumni group) is a new entity candidate; **Monique Duson / Kevin Briggins / Center for Biblical Unity**, **Jonathan Allen Wright**, **Lecrae**, and **John Piper** are new candidates. **New concept candidate — the attendance-as-health-variable confound** (the same metric that predicts flourishing in a healthy congregation predicts harm in a coercive one) from the Wired Word lesson. No new entity/concept pages created.
- **New coverage gaps named.** (1) **No Bethel institutional response** exists in the wiki — every institutional claim (alumni-group rejections, bookstore reversal, "eerie silence") is one-sided; its absence may itself be a finding, but "we could not find it" ≠ "it does not exist." (2) **The Johnson endorsement** ("the best thing to happen to Bible translations") is load-bearing in two places and sourced only secondhand. (3) **No primary Lecrae source** — filing his position from his critics' clips would repeat the exact error the Remnant Radio source diagnoses. (4) CCM history **parts 1–2** not ingested.
- **Skipped / off-domain (24h window):** two title-plausible near-misses caught in triage — **"Don't Ignore Your SOUL.md With Erik Hanchett"** (a tech podcast about the `SOUL.md` file convention) and **"I Need You to Hear Me Out"** (Claude Code workflows and Codex system prompts). Also the WordPress/tech Readwise batch (WordPress 7.1 Beta/persistent toolbar, WooCommerce workflow, MCP 7-28, plugin-submission review, SSH-keys/AI security, RAG/fine-tuning, LinkedIn content, Zombie Companies, data-driven product decisions, project-based learning, Anthropic research report), all Tweets (GPT-5.6 in Codex, agents horizon, Bret Taylor, Eric Pvncher), two meeting notes (pivoting-webinars, rivet-workshop), and all Loop Reports. **raw/** empty; **Bible/** and **Religious Research/** unchanged (0 in window).
- **Automation note (unattended run):** the ingest workflow (CLAUDE.md step 2) normally pauses for Courtney's confirmation before writing pages. This is a scheduled run with no human present, so per the scheduled-task rule I proceeded autonomously on the 6 in-window on-domain sources and recorded the choices here — consistent with every prior automated cycle. Scope held to the established envelope: **source pages + entity/concept citations + index + log only.** All new entity and concept pages held for a directed pass.
**New this cycle (2026-07-16 — automated):**
- **1 source page expanded + 2 concept updates.** No new files. The [[2026-07-10-counterfeit-kingdom-pivec-geivett|Counterfeit Kingdom — Holly Pivec & R. Douglas Geivett]] Readwise Books highlight set was re-synced 2026-07-15 (7 → 18 highlights); the new 11-passage cluster (Locations 1295–1414) is a second argument spine the 07-11 ingest never saw — apostolic authority as a governing office, not just prophecy-testing. Expanded the source page (Key Claims 8–13 + a Governance Cluster section) and added cited passages to [[Apostolic Authority]] (the "Dean" coercive-direction testimony, Location 1304; "alignment = submission," Location 1414) and [[Five-Fold Ministry]] (the Ephesians 4:11 "no offices, only elders and deacons" rebuttal, Locations 1375/1394/1402).
- **Re-sync detection lesson.** The candidate was a same-path file whose mtime moved on a Readwise re-sync — the kind of touch prior cycles routinely skip as noise. It was real content this time because a highlight-count diff (7 → 18) against the existing source page's own "seven passages" caution flagged new material. Worth a standing check: for already-ingested Readwise sources, diff highlight count before dismissing an mtime bump.
- **Concept/entity candidates strengthened (held for a directed pass, per envelope):** **spiritual abuse / BITE-model behavior control** now has a clean first-person specimen (the Dean couple could not move, change jobs, have children, or discipline their children without a prophet's sign-off); the [[Spiritual Abuse]] page could carry it directly in a directed session. No new pages created this cycle.
- **Skipped / off-domain (24h window):** the WordPress/tech Readwise batch (CloudLinux/AutopilotWP, WordCamp US 2026, WordPress Apple TV app, Zombie Companies, Enterprise AI, "CEO Pleads With AI Industry"), the Open Source Governance + WordPress Hosting Security MOCs, two meeting notes (discord-community-strategy, youtube-channel-growth), and all Loop Reports (`_dashboard`, ci-triage, elestio-uptime, knowledge-hub-watch, recent-sources-log). **raw/** empty (assets/ only). Today's lint (`[[Lint 2026-07-16]]`, 275 pages / 685 issues) was produced by the separate wiki-nightly-promote loop at 06:53 — the count is the known meta-file false-positive class (log.md + Lint pages enumerate the forbidden wordlist).
- **Automation note (unattended run):** the ingest workflow normally pauses for Courtney's confirmation before writing pages. This is a scheduled run with no human present, so per the scheduled-task rule I proceeded autonomously and recorded the choices here. Scope held to the established envelope: **source-page expansion + existing concept-page citations + index + log only.** No new entity/concept pages.
**New this cycle (2026-07-14 — automated):**
- **4 new source pages + 2 updates.** New: [[2026-07-14-pivec-nar-distraction-false-gospel|Holly Pivec — Are Your Church's Teachings Distracting You From Jesus?]], [[2026-07-14-mcclellan-jesus-in-the-old-testament|Dan McClellan — \"Jesus in the Old Testament Is Beyond Dispute\]], [[2026-07-14-mcclellan-women-pastors-heresy|Dan McClellan — \"Women Pastors Always Preach Heresy?\]], [[2026-07-14-remnant-radio-cracking-the-time-code|The Remnant Radio — Exposing \"Cracking the Time Code\" (Candice Smithyman)]]. Updated: [[Dan McClellan]] (10th + 11th sources; two new position bullets — retrojective messianic prophecy, and the non-univocality/pseudepigraphy case for women's ordination), [[Holly Pivec]] (5th source; attention-capture bullet + the dominion gospel-completion statement).
- **⚠️ Prosperity gospel / word of faith — the pre-registered trigger has fired.** The 07-12 cycle held this candidate with the explicit note that "a dedicated source would tip a standalone page." [[2026-07-14-remnant-radio-cracking-the-time-code|The Remnant Radio — Exposing \"Cracking the Time Code\" (Candice Smithyman)]] **is** that source: a full-length treatment of word-of-faith mechanics (faith-as-income, perception-nullifies-blessing, death-as-optional) with the 1980s lineage named, joining the Gupta/Bonhoeffer critique and the McClellan wealth-etiology jab. Held **only** because concept creation is a directed-pass decision — this is the top recommendation for the next directed session.
- **Cross-tradition pattern identified — word study as authority move.** Three sources from three traditions now converge on one mechanism: untestable language claims used to manufacture authority over readers who cannot check them. [[2026-07-14-remnant-radio-cracking-the-time-code|The Remnant Radio — Exposing \"Cracking the Time Code\" (Candice Smithyman)]] (continuationist insider, on invented Hebrew/Greek), [[The Passion Translation]] (Simmons's unsupported Aramaic renderings), and [[2026-07-14-mcclellan-jesus-in-the-old-testament|Dan McClellan — \"Jesus in the Old Testament Is Beyond Dispute\]] (secular academic, on Psalm 22 / Isaiah 7:14 mistranslations offered as evidence for the readings that produced them). Would sit naturally beside [[NAR Fallacy Taxonomy]]. Strong new concept candidate.
- **Pseudepigraphy concept candidate — now at threshold.** Four-plus sources, stable structure, load-bearing in multiple arguments: historical-Paul-vs-pseudo-Paul on celibacy/childbearing, authentic-Paul-over-Ephesians-5 on submission ([[2026-07-05-data-over-dogma-monte-mader-purity-culture|Inside Purity Culture and Christian Nationalism with Monte Mader (Data Over Dogma)]]), and now the whole case for women's ordination. Nothing currently covers it.
- **Feminist hermeneutics / erased women — advanced 1 → 3 data points.** Sarah's non-agency and Rebekah's silence (07-12) now joined by **Junia** — a woman apostle in an authentic letter, overruled by a forgery. Pairs with [[2026-06-10-mcclellan-feminism-satanic-roots|Dan McClellan — Responding to 'Feminism Has Satanic Roots]]. May now be better-supported than the source-criticism candidate.
- **New candidates flagged:** **supersessionism** (the 2 Cor 3 "veil over their hearts" rhetoric against Jewish readers; a DEIB gap, with a second data point in the America-as-Israel material); **messianic prophecy / typology / retrojective hermeneutics** (the strongest single-source case the wiki has for a new concept node — it names a *method* used across NAR, evangelical, and word-of-faith material); **gnosticism as a recurring import** (two independent sources — Lewis's "earth suit" and [[2026-07-02-mcclellan-image-of-god-divine-council|Dan McClellan — What Does It Mean to Be Created \"In God's Image\"?]] on "flesh is inherently sinful" as middle-Platonic/Gnostic); **attention as a spiritual-abuse mechanism** (distinct from the coercion/shame mechanisms under [[Religious Trauma]]).
- **New entity candidates:** [[Candice Smithyman]] (apostolic-prophetic minister; Dream Mentors International; Glory Road TV; *Your Path to Destiny* on the It's Supernatural network) and **Destiny Image** (publisher) — the latter notable because [[readwise-nar-pivec-geivett|A New Apostolic Reformation? A Biblical Response to a Worldwide Movement]] already names the "Destiny Image publisher network" as an NAR structure, so the Smithyman book independently corroborates a claim the wiki filed months ago. [[Joshua Lewis]] / [[The Remnant Radio]] remain past threshold at 3 sources (flagged since 07-10).
- **Two independent critics, one diagnosis.** Pivec's Eden charge ("you can be like God" via secret knowledge + magical power) and Lewis's gnostic-adjacent reading reach the same conclusion from opposite vantages — cessationist-leaning outsider vs. continuationist insider — without shared vocabulary. Worth a line in any future prosperity-gospel or gnosticism page.
- **Vault-hygiene finding (outside this wiki, reported not fixed):** `3. Resources/Readwise/Full Document Contents/Articles/CLAUDE.md` is a Readwise capture of a claude.ai chat page, but its filename causes Claude Code to auto-load it as *project instructions* in any session touching that directory. Content is inert, but it injects a large fake instruction block into context. Recommend renaming. Also: the Document Notes block on the Smithyman capture garbles the very words the video is about (*yada*→"Eddu" and mislabeled Greek, *regel*→"Regal", *chronos*→"Kronos"); the transcript is correct and this wiki follows it.
- **Skipped / off-domain:** all other 24h-window files — Loop Reports (`_dashboard`, airo-pipeline, ci-triage, elestio-uptime, knowledge-hub-watch, recent-sources-log, staging-drift, synthesis-pass), Literature/Permanent notes and MOCs on WordPress/DX/open-source governance, and the tech/AI Readwise items (Claude for Teachers, Cowork, CodeRabbit, Astro, GPT-5.6, State of Open Source AI, WCAG/WordPress, DesignOps, agency pricing, USB-C cable tools, TWiW #380) + tweets. **raw/** empty (assets/ only) — no new drops.
- **Automation note (unattended run):** the ingest workflow normally pauses for Courtney's confirmation before writing pages. This is a scheduled run with no human present, so per the scheduled-task rule I proceeded autonomously on the 4 in-window on-domain sources and recorded the choices here. Consistent with every prior automated cycle: **source pages + entity updates only**; all new entity/concept pages held for a directed pass.
**New this cycle (2026-07-12 — automated):**
- **1 new source page + 1 update.** New: [[2026-07-12-data-over-dogma-wife-sister-deception|Data Over Dogma — When God Told Abraham to Lie (the wife-sister doublets)]] (source). Updated: [[Dan McClellan]] (11th source + "Genesis is stitched from independent traditions" position).
- **Source-criticism / documentary-hypothesis concept candidate advanced** — the wife-sister doublets join the [[2026-06-29-data-over-dogma-myth-of-12-tribes|Data Over Dogma — The Myth of the 12 Tribes of Israel]] construction argument and the [[2026-07-01-chapters-and-verses-versification-history|Chapters and Verses Are Reading the Bible for You (Data Over Dogma)]] hermeneutics thread; the wiki now has enough for a dedicated **source criticism** concept node (Genesis seams: divine-name switches, name changes, anachronism, doublets). Arguably at threshold — held for a directed pass, folded into [[Dan McClellan]] + [[Deconstruction]] until then.
- **New candidate — feminist hermeneutics / erased women** — Sarah's non-agency in the wife-sister stories (and Rebekah's silence) is the first data point; pairs with the earlier "biblical marriage as property" ([[2026-07-05-data-over-dogma-monte-mader-purity-culture|Inside Purity Culture and Christian Nationalism with Monte Mader (Data Over Dogma)]]) and purity-culture material. Held below threshold.
- **Prosperity-gospel candidate** — gains a second data point (Beecher/McClellan's "that's the prosperity gospel" reading of the wealth-etiology, alongside the 07-05 Gupta/Bonhoeffer critique). Still held; a dedicated source would tip a standalone page.
- **Deferred in-window (lectionary prep — standing rule):** UCC Cast "Seeds & Ways" **"You Shall Spread" — Eighth Sunday Year A Pentecost** (Rev. Dr. Cheryl A. Lindsay; Jacob-at-Bethel/Genesis 28, covenant blessing, Jacob-as-avoidant-runner). Generic Year-A preaching prep, not tied to a dated St. John's service (today's 07-12 service was the lay-led Hymn Sing with no sermon) → deferred per the standing rule. **The "Seeds & Ways" cluster is now large (~9 deferred episodes across 06-24 → 07-12).** Recommend a directed decision on one **combined UCC Cast lectionary source page**; escalated from "if the cluster builds" to "the cluster has built."
- **Skipped:** Code Switch "Whose rights just changed? Our SCOTUS debrief" (NPR; immigration/asylum/TPS law, no faith angle → off-domain). All other 24h-window files were off-domain (Loop Reports, Plugin Health, Skill Gaps, tech/AI articles + tweets) or Readwise re-sync mtime touches.
**New this cycle (2026-07-11 — automated):**
- **3 new source pages + 3 updates.** New: [[2026-07-10-counterfeit-kingdom-pivec-geivett|Counterfeit Kingdom — Holly Pivec & R. Douglas Geivett]], [[2026-07-10-uchimura-prophetic-nationalism|Nationalism Can Be Prophetic — Uchimura Kanzō (Kazusa Okaya)]], [[2026-05-24-unbelief-evangelical-code-words-steele|Evangelical Code Words — Jeremy Steele (Unbelief podcast)]]. Updated: [[Holly Pivec]] (Counterfeit Kingdom anchor source + prophecy-testing/New-Age bullet), [[Christian Nationalism]] (rhetorical/dog-whistle vantage + Uchimura comparative "prophetic nationalism" section — now six vantages), [[Spiritual Warfare Theology]] (congregational rhetorical-formation layer: Peretti/armor-of-God + "rebuke" migration).
- **[[Christian Nationalism]] advanced (again)** — two new vantages: a *rhetorical/dog-whistle* mechanism (Steele) and a *comparative non-Western* case (Uchimura's "prophetic nationalism"), which uniquely names the progressive mirror-idolatry (critique-as-contempt) guarding the Whitaker constructive counter from curdling. The book-length monograph (Du Mez / Taylor / Hobbs) remains the open goal.
- **[[Holly Pivec]] flagship-book gap closed** — *Counterfeit Kingdom* was cited across the wiki (e.g. [[NAR Fallacy Taxonomy]]) but never a source page; it now anchors the entity and supplies the affirmative prophecy-testing rubric the [[Fallible Prophecy]] page critiques the absence of.
- **[[Spiritual Warfare Theology]] stub advanced** — gained a non-charismatic-insider rhetorical-formation layer (still a stub overall; primary sources Wagner/Wink/IHOPKC remain outstanding).
- **Concept candidates flagged:** an *Evangelical Code Words / religious dog-whistles* concept page (Steele episode + the vault permanent note + prior Christian-nationalism rhetoric across the corpus — arguably at threshold; held for a directed pass); a *prophecy-testing rubric* concept node (Counterfeit Kingdom's three tests could anchor a standalone page beside [[Fallible Prophecy]]). Entity candidate: [[Jeremy Steele]] / *Unbelief* (2 sources now — this + [[2026-07-05-unbelief-coons-faith-and-politics|Sen. Chris Coons on Christian Nationalism and Faith in Politics (Unbelief)]] + [[2026-07-05-unbelief-pastor-predator-deconstruction|Unbelief — When the Pastor Was the Predator (Kate Johnson)]] are the same show → threshold met, held for a directed *Unbelief* entity pass).
- **Skipped / triaged out:** the [[2026-07-12]] St. John's UCC service note — a lay-led "Hymn Sing Sunday" with **no sermon** (Rev. Saxton on vacation); 14 hymns, all traditional/public-domain (It Is Well, Blessed Assurance, When I Survey, Victory in Jesus, etc.), none with NAR/Bethel/Hillsong network flags → passes the existing worship-vetting rubric with nothing new to capture; no page warranted. *Is Bethel Church Past the Point of No Return?* and the Azusa/Parhamite Ep. 650 — both already ingested in the 07-10 cycle; their 24h mtime is a Readwise re-sync touch, not new content.
**New this cycle (2026-07-10 — automated):**
- **4 new source pages + 4 updates.** New: [[2026-07-09-leaving-the-message-azusa-parhamite-roots-ep650|Azusa History Overturned: The Parhamite Roots — Leaving the Message Ep. 650]], [[2026-07-09-remnant-radio-bethel-point-of-no-return|Is Bethel Church Past the Point of No Return? — The Remnant Radio]], [[2026-07-09-wired-word-empire-state-boldness-risk|Wired Word — Couple Climbs Empire State Building (Week of July 12, 2026)]], [[2026-07-09-tim-whitaker-dissent-prophetic-tradition|Discouraged by the State America Is In? — Tim Whitaker]]. Updated: [[Charles Fox Parham]] (Apostolic-Faith→NAR name-line + 1906 magazine core), [[Pentecostalism]] (Parham-first vs. Seymour-first origin note), [[Bethel Church]] (2026-07 retaliation/NDA + continuationist "point of no return" read; also wired in the previously-orphaned [[2026-07-07-bethel-layoffs-ndas-tpt-censorship|Bethel Layoffs, Non-Disparagement Agreements, and TPT Censorship — Wake Up and Win Podcast]] as a source), [[Christian Nationalism]] (constructive prophetic-dissent vantage — now four vantages).
- **[[Christian Nationalism]] advanced** — gained a fourth vantage: a *constructive* counter (Whitaker's prophetic-dissent reclamation) alongside the three existing critique vantages. The book-length monograph (Du Mez / Taylor / Hobbs) is still the open goal.
- **[[Charles Fox Parham]] / [[Pentecostalism]] origins-critique** — the Parham-first genealogy now has a primary-document anchor (the 1906 *Apostolic Faith*). Open thread: locate the actual Seymour statement Collins cites (load-bearing for the "coverup" claim) before hardening it in any analysis page.
- **Bethel orphan fixed** — the 2026-07-07 Wake Up and Win layoffs/NDA source page existed but was never wired into the [[Bethel Church]] entity or index; both now reference it, and the Remnant Radio source corroborates it from the continuationist angle.
- **Entity candidates (single-source, held below threshold):** [[Tim Whitaker]] + [[The New Evangelicals]] (post-evangelical anti-Christian-nationalism voice/org; TNE podcast already sourced via [[2026-06-15-tamice-spencer-helms-better-logics|Discovering Better Logics in a Binary World — Dr. Tamice Spencer-Helms (TNE Podcasts)]] → arguably at threshold, held for a directed pass), [[Joshua Lewis]] / [[The Remnant Radio]] (continuationist discernment podcast, now 2 sources — [[2026-06-18-remnant-radio-reformers-spiritual-gifts|Did Protestant Reformers Believe in Spiritual Gifts? (The Remnant Radio)]] + this — a directed pass could build it).
- **Concept candidates flagged:** a *Christian boldness / faithful risk* discipleship node (Wired Word 07/12 boldness-vs-timidity + Peter-on-water / talents readings) and a *Liberation Theology* concept page (Whitaker's "faith of love and liberation," MLK "white moderate," the prophetic-tradition lineage) — each held for a second dedicated source.
- **Skipped / already-covered:** *LEAKED: Bethel Firing 50 People* (Wake Up and Win) — already ingested as [[2026-07-07-bethel-layoffs-ndas-tpt-censorship|Bethel Layoffs, Non-Disparagement Agreements, and TPT Censorship — Wake Up and Win Podcast]]; its 07-09 mtime is a Readwise re-sync touch. The *guru model of modern prophecy* (Bob Scott) and *Sodom & Gomorrah* (McClellan) literature notes — both already ingested ([[Bob Scott — The Guru Model Behind Modern Prophecy (Ep. 630)]], [[Dan McClellan — Sodom & Gomorrah Is Not About Homosexuality]]); 24h mtime is a re-sync touch. Ecclesiastes MSG/AMPC translation files + Bible Study Ecclesiastes SVGs — Bible-corpus texts and study visuals, not external sources to ingest.
**New this cycle (2026-07-06 — automated):**
- **5 new pages + 3 updates.** New: [[2026-07-05-st-johns-ucc-esther-moment-like-this|St. John's UCC — Esther: A Moment Like This]] (source), [[2026-07-05-unbelief-pastor-predator-deconstruction|Unbelief — When the Pastor Was the Predator (Kate Johnson)]] (source), [[2026-07-05-holy-post-725-americas-story-gupta-paul|Holy Post 725 — America's Story + Nijay Gupta on Paul]] (source), [[2026-07-05-holy-post-727-mckenzie-sexual-revolution-250|Holy Post 727 — Robert Tracy McKenzie on America at 250]] (source), [[Purity Culture]] (concept). Updated: [[Caroline Saxton]] (July 5 Esther sermon), [[Christian Nationalism]] (moderate-evangelical + mainline critique layer; stub callout re-scoped), [[Eschatology]] (Gupta restoration-vs-escape section).
- ~~**Purity Culture concept candidate**~~ — **closed 2026-07-06.** The second dedicated source landed (Kate Johnson's *Unbelief* testimony) alongside the 07-05 Mader episode → threshold met, `concepts/purity-culture.md` built (commodification metaphors, gendered double standard, consent erasure, DARVO adjacency). Open question: still needs a sympathetic-insider reckoning + constructive alternatives.
- **[[Christian Nationalism]] advanced** — the long-open "primary source gap" is no longer a bare stub: a three-vantage critique layer now exists (moderate-evangelical Holy Post 725/727 + mainline Coons/Wired Word + discernment/ex-insider WBHR/DoD). Book-length monograph (Du Mez / Taylor / Hobbs) still the goal.
- **Entity candidates (single-source, held below threshold):** [[Nijay Gupta]] (NT scholar; *Paul for the World*; restoration eschatology), [[Robert Tracy McKenzie]] (Wheaton historian; Christian-nationalism critique), [[Kate Johnson]] (deconstruction/clergy-abuse testimony), [[Kaitlyn Schiess]] (Holy Post co-host; political theology). Build on a second source.
- **Prosperity-gospel + Christian-masculinity/manosphere concept candidates** — each now has a data point (Gupta's Bonhoeffer critique; the Holy Post "pagan masculinity" segment). Held for a second source.
- **Deferred in-window (lectionary prep):** UCC Cast "Seeds & Ways" Year-A episodes ("It Shall Be Provided" 5th Sun; "And God Heard" 4th Sun) and Working Preacher "Sermon Brainwave" 1091 / 1093 / 1094. Generic lectionary/preaching prep, not tied to a dated St. John's service — deferred per the standing rule.
- **Skipped:** *Sacred Yes* (Jen Hatmaker solo) — a midlife rest/boundaries/"unproductive joy" self-care episode with only light spiritual framing; below the theology threshold. Logged as a [[Jen Hatmaker]] entity candidate if a substantive-theology episode lands. ATG 288 "The First Key to Bravery" (Jon Acuff) — secular goals/productivity, off-domain. *United and Uniting* — already ingested (Gunnemann UCC-history thread, 7 prior log mentions); the `date: 2026-07-05` is a Readwise re-sync touch, not new.
**New this cycle (2026-07-05 — automated):**
- **3 new pages + 2 updates.** New: [[2026-07-05-data-over-dogma-monte-mader-purity-culture|Inside Purity Culture and Christian Nationalism with Monte Mader (Data Over Dogma)]] (source), [[2026-07-05-unbelief-coons-faith-and-politics|Sen. Chris Coons on Christian Nationalism and Faith in Politics (Unbelief)]] (source), [[Monte Mader]] (entity). Updated: [[Dan McClellan]] (10th source + marriage-as-commodity position), [[Open and Affirming]] (2nd source added; open question re-scoped to the exegetical debate).
- ~~**[[Monte Mader]] dead-link stub**~~ — **closed 2026-07-05.** Entity page built now that a second primary source has landed (the purity-culture episode). Two *Data Over Dogma* sources; ex-member testimony node for [[Christian Nationalism]] and [[Deconstruction]].
- **[[Open and Affirming]] second source** — the standing "second-source upgrade" carry-over is now advanced: Coons supplies a cross-mainline witness to lived ONA practice. The page's open question is re-scoped — it still needs a source that engages the exegesis (clobber passages, marriage theology, a "welcoming but not affirming" primary read).
- **Purity Culture concept candidate** — first dedicated source (the Mader purity-culture episode). Held below the two-source threshold; a second (a purity-culture memoir or the "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" reckoning) tips a standalone `concepts/purity-culture.md`.
- **Jerry Falwell / Moral Majority node** — now a two-mention candidate (Coons's "religion is about controlling sexuality" root + the 06-22 Data Over Dogma Falwell/Weyrich wedge-issue history). Entity/concept stub on a directed pass.
- **[[Chris Coons]] stub** — mainline Democratic senator; faith-and-politics reflection group; expand if a second source lands.
- **Deferred in-window (lectionary prep):** three UCC Cast "Seeds & Ways" Year-A Pentecost episodes ("Shall I Be Fruitful," "Granted Prayer," "Journeyed on by Stages") and Working Preacher "Sermon Brainwave" 1089/1090. Generic lectionary/preaching prep, not tied to a dated St. John's UCC service — deferred per the standing rule (cf. Sermon Brainwave 1080–1088). If a cluster of UCC Cast episodes builds, consider one combined lectionary source page.
- **Skipped:** Holy Post 723 (real `episode_publish_date` 2026-06-03, out of window; `last_snip_date` re-sync touch; Pope Leo already covered). "Sermon sketch" inbox note (pipeline test file `inq-live-test.md` carrying Courtney's own Ecclesiastes sketch — her own study output, not an external source).
**Closed this cycle (2026-05-27 — automated):**
- ~~**[[Theodicy]]**~~ — **closed 2026-05-27.** Full concept page: Epicurus trilemma, Hume restatement, logical/evidential/pastoral variants, free will defense, soul-making, protest/lament (Job, Wiesel), open theism, process theology, lament without resolution (McLaren/Bessey). NAR implicit theodicy (SLSW as theodicy: demonic territorial control). Caroline Saxton's lament-and-presence pneumatology (April 26 + May 24 sermons). Theodicy as deconstruction entry point. Four vault sources. Highest-priority dead link since 2026-04-27; resolved after 18 lint cycles.
- ~~**[[Spiritual Warfare Theology]]**~~ — **closed 2026-05-27 (stub).** Concept stub: full evangelical-to-NAR spectrum; SLSW doctrine (Wagner, territorial spirits, spiritual mapping); harm assessment; Walter Wink mainline contrast (powers = institutional spirituality of human systems); IHOPKC connection. Resolves dead link introduced in prior cycle. Primary sources (Wagner, Wink) still needed.
- ~~**NL442 post-service gap**~~ — **closed 2026-05-27.** `sources/2026-05-17-st-johns-ucc-christ-hymn.md` updated with Post-Service Update section. Hymn Sing Sunday confirmed; 13 congregation-selected hymns documented with copyright status and worship-team notes; Courtney on worship team confirmed; Habitat Q&A happened. Page was pending since 2026-05-11.
- ~~**Life After Doom source page**~~ — **closed 2026-05-27.** `readwise-life-after-doom-mclaren.md` written. All prerequisite source material for `[[Deconstruction]]` concept page now in wiki.
**New this cycle (2026-05-27):**
- **[[Brian McLaren]] entity stub** — new dead link introduced by Life After Doom source page. Entity page needed: progressive Christianity founding voice; *Life After Doom* (2023); Convergence Music Project co-founder. 1 reference currently; will grow as Deconstruction page is drafted.
- **[[Deconstruction]] concept page** — now has two primary sources fully ingested: [[readwise-life-after-doom-mclaren|Life After Doom — Brian D. McLaren (Readwise)]] and [[readwise-field-notes-for-the-wilderness-bessey|Field Notes for the Wilderness (Sarah Bessey)]]. Also grounded in Caroline Saxton's preaching (theodicy thread, May 24 lament-and-presence framing). Ready to draft. **High priority.**
- **13 Hymn Sing hymns (May 17)** — 13 congregation-selected hymns documented in NL442 source page but not yet processed through the formal St. John's UCC 4-tier rubric. Most are public-domain; no NAR flags detected. Formal assessment flagged for a dedicated worship-music session.
- **May 31 Trinity Sunday + Habitat for Humanity vote** — congregational vote on property/Habitat development proposal. Watch for `Sermon Notes/2026-05-31.md` and `Sermon Notes/2026-06-07.md` after service. First fully active ecclesial-discernment thread.
**New this cycle (2026-06-09 — automated, large batch after ~12-day gap):**
- **8 new pages** from a heavy Readwise sync dominated by [[The Passion Translation]]: [[The Passion Translation]] (concept, flagship), [[brian-simmons|Brian Simmons]] (entity), [[Mike Winger]] (entity), [[Charles Fox Parham]] (entity), and 4 source pages ([[readwise-passion-translation-critique-cluster|Readwise — Passion Translation Critique Cluster]], [[readwise-pentecostal-nar-origins-critique-cluster|Readwise — Pentecostal / NAR Origins Critique Cluster]], [[readwise-monte-mader-christian-nationalism|Readwise — Inside Christian Nationalism with Monte Mader (Data Over Dogma)]], [[2026-06-07 St John's UCC — Ruth: Loss and Loyalty]]).
- **Habitat-thread correction** — the 2026-06-07 sermon does NOT continue the Habitat/Trinity thread (no Habitat content; guest preacher; Ruth series). The Habitat vote likely sits in `Sermon Notes/2026-05-31.md`, which is **not yet ingested** — priority next cycle.
- **New dead-link stubs opened (7):** [[Holly Pivec]] (NARWatch; "the NAR Bible"), [[William J. Seymour]] (Azusa Street leader), [[John Alexander Dowie]] (Zion City), [[Azusa Street Revival]] (movement/event), [[Monte Mader]] (ex-CN educator), [[Dan McClellan]] (Data Over Dogma; optional), [[Deconstruction]] (still unwritten; referenced again by the Mader source).
- **Christian Nationalism promote** — [[Christian Nationalism]] is still a stub; [[readwise-monte-mader-christian-nationalism|Readwise — Inside Christian Nationalism with Monte Mader (Data Over Dogma)]] is now its first primary source. Ready to expand (insider-formation account + NAR/Dominionism overlap). **High priority.**
- **Pages to update (deferred to a Courtney-directed session):** [[New Apostolic Reformation]] (add TPT in-house-Bible function), [[Bethel Church]] (TPT two-tier text practice + bookstore), [[Pentecostalism]] and [[Latter Rain]] (origins-critique cluster, with source caution).
- **Source caution logged** — the Azusa/NAR-origins cluster is polemical (William Branham research orbit). Genealogical and biographical claims (Parham's record, Dowie finances) need confirmation against academic Pentecostal historiography before entering analysis pages.
**New this cycle (2026-06-11 — automated maintenance, McClellan/NAR atom batch):**
- **4 new pages** from three theology atoms created today in `Literature Notes/`: [[Bob Scott — The Guru Model Behind Modern Prophecy (Ep. 630)]] (source) + [[Bob Scott]] (entity), [[Dan McClellan — Sodom & Gomorrah Is Not About Homosexuality]] (source), [[The Hidden History Behind Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard — Cover-Up Culture]] (source). [[Dan McClellan]] entity updated with the anachronism position.
- **Structural-theory thread.** The Bob Scott "guru model" page gives the wiki an explicit mechanism page to pair with its NAR case studies — single-mediator authority + media-conferred rank + competitive escalation, a mirror of [[Apostolic Authority]].
- **New dead-link stubs opened (4):** [[Lonnie Frisbee]], [[Paul Cain]], [[John Wimber]], [[Chuck Smith]] — Calvary Chapel / Vineyard lineage; [[Paul Cain]] also links the Vineyard orbit to [[Mike Bickle]] / IHOPKC.
- **Source caution logged** — the Calvary Chapel / Vineyard piece is investigative/polemical; biographical claims recorded as stated, confirm before analysis-page use.
**Closed this cycle (2026-05-26 — manual: Bethel/Welton entity stubs):**

All grounded in [[2026-05-19-bethels-book-platformed-a-wolf-video|Bethel's Book Platformed a Wolf and Silenced His Victims (YouTube exposé video)]]; cross-linked; added to People & Authors. Resolves 9 dead-link clusters (incl. [[Shawn Bolz]], the most-referenced at 11 links). No new dead links introduced.
- Follow-ups opened: [[Harold Eberle]] restoration-board identification needs confirmation from named board members; [[Michael Brown]] controversy and [[Randy Clark]] / Global Awakening + Toronto Blessing want dedicated primary sources.
**Closed this cycle (2026-05-26 — automated):**
- ~~**[[Kelly Latimore]]**~~ — **closed 2026-05-24.** Full entity page created: American Catholic iconographer; Byzantine influence; incarnational diversity theology; Marian inclusion in Pentecost icon; disability representation; UCC use at St. John's. Dead link in 2026-05-24 Pentecost source page resolved.

**New this cycle (2026-05-26 — automated):**
- **[[Spiritual Warfare Theology]]** — new dead link introduced by `readwise-nar-pivec-geivett.md`. Referenced in Pivec/Geivett strategic-level spiritual warfare section. Concept stub needed: NAR territorial-spirit model, dominionist application, mainline structural-sin contrast. Builds on [[Dominionism]] entry already in wiki.
- **NL443 Pentecost sermon notes** — vault not mounted this cycle. Sermon occurred May 24, 2026. Check next session for `Sermon Notes/2026-05-24.md` content and 13-category rubric opportunity.
- **World Harvest Outreach full ingest** — 60KB research document partially read. Full ingest (entity page, network documentation, local NAR case study) requires dedicated session with Courtney.
- **[[readwise-nar-pivec-geivett|A New Apostolic Reformation? A Biblical Response to a Worldwide Movement]] pages to update** — source page identifies 3 existing wiki pages to update with Pivec/Geivett content: [[New Apostolic Reformation]] (working definition, Passion Translation, Destiny Image, 369M figure, AG divergence), [[Apostolic Authority]] (submission logic quote, financial structure, accountability gap), [[Five-Fold Ministry]] (cessationist elder-appointment argument from Titus 1:5 / 1 Pet 5:1–3). Requires Courtney direction.
**New this cycle (2026-05-23):**
- ~~**[[Kelly Latimore]]**~~ — **closed 2026-05-24.** See above.
- **Johannine vs. Lukan Pentecost** — concept page candidate; two distinct biblical pneumatologies within the canon; neither maps to NAR/charismatic Pentecost; important comparison for the NAR-critique framework. Would close a conceptual gap.
- **Joel 2:28-32 hermeneutics** — concept page candidate; the most contested Pentecost text: NAR uses it for prophetic office restoration; mainline uses it for inclusive leadership and anti-hierarchical ecclesiology. Ready to draft from the May 24 source page alone.
- **NL443 Pentecost sermon** — actual sermon content will appear in `Sermon Notes/2026-05-24.md` after the service (May 24, 2026). The source page ingested today covers the bulletin/pre-service scaffold; check next cycle for sermon notes fill-in and 13-category rubric opportunity.

- **Book review backfill reserve (flagged 2026-04-18)** — 8+ theology-relevant book reviews in `4. Archives/Book reviews/` (*A New Apostolic Reformation*, *Out of the Embers*, *What Would Jesus Deconstruct*, *Process Theology Guide*, *Theological Foundations of Worship*, *Revelation and Violence*, *When Heaven Invades Earth*, *Sacred Playgrounds*) — Courtney's own prior analysis
