Oh, Shellon...I don't know what to say. Words fail... And I thought I had reason to be angry... Even though I did not suffer the death of a family member I know your anger and how you were treated.
The question was Does anyone grow old in The Way Internationl? Does anyone grow, period. I don't think so. The rules and regs and dogma and brow beating and thumbing down was, well, just that. twi yapped and yapped and yapped and etc., etc., infinity... about the Love of God, the Household of Faith, the Family of God, God is Love, we gotta love each other, look out for each other, stand with each other, infinity again and again...
twi yapped it but had no idea about love and loving and helping each other and above all standing by and with each other in ALL times. There was no unconditional love. No love, period. None whatsoever. Not saying there wasn't love between lots of us (truth be told, still is :)) but you know what I mean when I say twi.
