  1. Perhaps. But TESLA, the true inventor of the radio, would have faced less opposition.

  2. I've been considering this topic for a bit. It can be summed up as looking for how I've reacted to bullying since my time in "River Road Fellowship." And as I've seen others react to TWI style bullying in many different manners since I've been here I thought I would make a couple of observations and then see where the conversation goes. I've seen bullying here at GSC that seems very easy to deal with since "River Road Fellowship" messed up so much of my life. In most cases it has been easy to deal with here. There have been other times when facing certain things that reminded me of the TWI style censure that I endured that have left me feeling weak and incapable of dealing with behind the back gossip, judgments and such. OOps, I'm out of time for now. I'll try to get back later or tomorrow. Gotta go now.

  3. Does this make sense? ************************* PFAL--page 30,31 "At the next stop a man came to our compartment in the train saying that he was representing his master who wanted to come and meet the man of God. He said his master was so-and-so, a member of Parliament in New Delhi, who was also riding on the train. The member of Parliament then came to our compartment to tell Mrs. Wierwille and me that what he had seen in *Jubbulpore was the most tremendous Christian event he had ever witnessed-that a man of God would bless all God's people irrespective of whether they were Christian or Hindi. He offered us the keys to his city and said that any time we wanted to minister in India, the doors of India and the Far East would be open to us to teach the accuracy and the greatness of God's Word." ************************* Wierwille finds himself in a part of the world that is decidedly non-Christian and heals a man in an event that couldn't possibly have been witnessed by more than a handful of people in the close proximity. Then, news of the event spreads so quickly, in an era when the flow of information was decidedly slow, that a member of Parliament in New Delhi gave him the coveted key to his city. *New Delhi is the 8th largest city in the world, with a population of about 12,000,000. (Just a tad larger than New Knockwurst) *New Delhi *Jabalpur had a population of about 1,120,000 in 2001. The population of *Allahabad, the city whose newspaper supposedly covered the key to the city event, is 1,215,348! (2008) *Allahabad ************************ Several other things stand out in my mind. 1. Wierwille seemed to offer no objection to being addressed as a man of God. 2. He offered no objection to non-Christians being refered to as "God's people", a direct contradiction of his PFAL lessons. 3. The name of Mr.So-and-So, the member of Parliament, is conspicuously omitted. 4. The man supposedly gave Wierwille the authority to teach anywhere in the entirety of India and The Far East, as if one member of Parliament has that much singular authority. 5. The man didn't marvel at the healing, he marveled that "a man of God would bless all God's people, irrespective of whether they were Christian or Hindi." In other words, he marveled at-----Wierwille.
