Hope you had a happy birthday Rocky.

The category of Debul Spurt Possession and who is and what is possessed according to TWI really ticks me off. My Opinion here, this is what I believe, Dealing w/ Advesary, Defeating the Advesary, Advance Classes, Advance Class Specials, and of course the Corps teachings were the main devil spirit possession teachings in TWI along with individual teachings from leaders..... Oops I almost forgot Athletes in the Spirit. You pretty much needed most of these classes according to TWI to be able to determine who was indeed possessed. Seeing as determining possession was considered a revelation manifestation. We were taught if you were possessed in the mind you wouldn't know you're possessed by a devil spirit. So if you cannot tell, if you or someone else is possessed, because you didn't have the training or receive big revelation, you had to rely upon a Spiritual Heavy Leader who had the training and received the revelation. I personally don't know anyone who ever saw any phlegm come out of anybodys face. I heard the story that VPWs secretary saw C.Geers face turn into VPWs face one day during mealtime. True or not I don't know. I can't even imagine all those who thought they were Spiritual Heavies who scared the crap out of people in TWI in regards to the people who chose by free will not stand with TWI any longer. Accusing those who left of Devil Spirit possession. I witnessed some of this. I believe this was Damage Control or maybe even Finance Control. This way you keep, those in TWI and those out of TWI, apart. Thus, those still in only heard the one-sided scenerio .... of TWIs Spiritual Heavy who was on damage control, hiding, twisting, perverting and degrading the truth of those people who chose to leave for their own reasons. Now your almighty spiritual heavy or MOG that you look up to is telling you a lesser spiritual person that someone is possessed of such debul spurt(s). Why lesser, because you didn't receive the revelation from God. The Spiritual Heavy received the revelation and had to inform the rest of you who didn't. Now what to do with the information that your brethren who you love dearly, broke bread with, had wonderful conversations and shared your life and the life of your family with is now possessed. Do you or can you even believe it? Are you scared out of your wits? Are you in AWE of the Spiritual Heavies powers for revelation? Do you wish you could receive that revelation yourself? Do you make the decision then and there to be a Spiritual Heavy? Do you automatically take it for truth because its a leader telling you? Do you just take it for truth even though your questioning it in your mind but your scared if you speak up you will be accused of possession? Do you have the guts to ask permission to speak to the accused party because it seems a bit amiss to you? What do you do? I know scenerios where people didn't even care to get the other side of the story. Scenerios where people weren't allowed to hear from the other side. .... no free will to check things out on your own here... no need to right, you aren't as smart as the MOG are ya? So people just let it go out of fear. Are GSers possessed according to TWI ... I would say that the references of Grease Spots Cafe, the Administrator and Posters being possessed has come up more than we will ever know by TWI to its followers. The questions are: How many more will gain back there free will? Who will make the choice to think and investigate for themselves? Who will refuse to be scared into a corner? Who will take the blinders off? Who will stand up for Gods kids whom are wrongly accused? Digi

In my own not so professional opinion, TWI like many Protestant religions (that I have seen) have misunderstood and mis-used Jesus words that he spoke to Judas about the rich ointment that was going to be used on Jesus insted of being sold to the poor....namely...the poor you have always with you....as an excuse or rationale to take one's wealth and use it to further whatever church/organization or what have you that you belong to. I personally believe that Jesus was exposing Judas' duplicity (which we knew that Judas didn't care for the poor and was a thief and was using this for an excuse) by pointing out that if he did care for the poor truly, he would have been providing for them, continually, and not just on special occasions, holidays or when super good fortune smacks you between the eyes. And if the poor were being taken care of in the way the OT said (Deut 15:11, especially 7-11) then there would be no problem with Jesus receiving the ointment. TWI took the saying (along with some other denominations, not all, as there are churches who do and have worked with the poor) to being discriminatory agains the poor. Give it to Jesus, give it all to us as opposed to when Jesus said the poor should be receiving their portion all the time and this could go to him then.
