In 1997, a twig coordinator in our state had heart complications and abruptly died. Her brother in Florida was on twi's "mark and avoid" list and Bob Moneyhands phoned and informed me of this information. In his words, this brother would NOT be allowed to attend his sister's funeral. As the limb coordinator, I was facing hurt and grieving over the loss of this precious woman......and now, this twi-dictate was staring me in the face. Bob Moneyhands, a top-tier clergyman in twi's hierarchy was telling me to uphold the mark/avoid policy in this situation. Really? Is that policy etched in stone? About an hour later........this brother, Chris, calls and forthrightly explains his situation. He admits to a few shortcomings and then, asks me if he could possibly attend his sister's funeral. My heart welled with compassion and I firmly said, "Yes, you are welcome to attend and call me when you arrive." He cried and thanked me as he hung up the phone. Preparations for the funeral were underway. My responsibility. Several days later, and after the funeral.......he thanked me again. Then, I invited him to come home with us for dinner and a night of warm friendship and love. Others were invited as well. I felt that it was my responsibility before God to comfort his grieving soul with all that was within me. With food, snacks, a movie, and prayerful concern....my wife and I did everything we could to minister to this deep loss we all felt. At the end of the evening, Chris cried and thanked us for caring so deeply. He left a changed man. .

Time and time again, wierwille's platitudes and drivel in pfal has been exposed. Yet, the damage continues.......some of wierwille's "clergy" from decades ago, continue to march to the beat of his cancerous-devil-spirit blatherings. Oh, it is so easy to pontificate from their lofty throne of vp-isms. Why can't these young gun pharisees..... 1) Undo the heavy burdens 2) Heal the broken-hearted 3) Set the captives free 4) Hug and uplift with compassion 5) Roll their sleeves up and help 6) Stop the devil-spirit nonsense 7) Speak the truth in love 8) Love with unconditional love A close friend of ours, in another state......is going thru challenging times. When she turned to this (cough, cough) clergyman who, to this day, embraces his wierwille ordination and teaching platform.....he gave her disturbing, devil-spirit counsel. The same-such blather of generic stuff where everything gives off something and "you need to sell your house, uproot your family and move away" nonsense. How convenient for him to sit in his warm office and relegate this phone correspondence. This type of "spiritual maturity" is the GARBAGE that wierwille fed us.......for decades. This is not a pastor, or shepherd, who cares for "the sheep." This IS a hireling........who works for the meager wages of self. With each passing year, I see the heartless display of wierwille's ordained men.......men who STILL promote his platitudes and teach and send out this crap. And, those who throw the possessed label around or devil spirit baloney WITH NO ACTION are the same as wierwille. FRAUDS. <_<

Ok, lemme say where I am at the moment on the topic. I have gone through a lot of mental wranglings. And no I have not read every post or followed every link or whatever. Just don't have the attention span...honest enough? My mental wranglings on the subject have taken me from not wanting to question the validity of modern SIT, to realizing I had wrong teaching from TWI that taught me to have faith in SIT as proof positive of so many things. Yet, that is wrong because I am supposed to have faith IN God...not SIT. Ok...so it's not proof of everything then it still must be real because I never faked anything. Onwards... I have dealt with a lot of defense mechanisms in my own brain. At times I have felt defensive because something I believed true seemed to be under attack. At other times I have found myself very apathetic and seemed inclined to the attitude of "why attack someone else's faith?" -- which is very wrong in this case, since no one is really attacking anything....we are suppose to prove all things and hold fast the good right? So here I am. I understand the two side's ongoing arguments. The burden of proof is on the tongue talkers, no doubt. So here is the issue at hand...and it reflects my current disposition. Modern SIT should stand up to scrutiny. It should prove itself to be what the Bible says it is. Else, where is the integrity in what I believe? God is true. What if.....what if modern SIT is all BS and not one of us here (that has been influenced by the charismatic movement and taught by Wierwille) has been exposed to true SIT as described in the Bible? I am finally willing to accept that, and personally, I want to know the truth.

Yeah.......Psalms 23 What does a shepherd do? 1) Focus and care for all the sheep's needs 2) Leads sheep to green pastures 3) Leads sheep to still waters (will not drink rushing stream) 4) Restores their soul day after day 5) Leads sheep in path of righteousness (sheep follow willingly) 6) Protects and guards against enemies 7) Shepherd equipped to anoint and heal wounds 8) If one went missing, the shepherd noticed 9) Temperment and behavior of sheep was primary focus 10) Day and night, the shepherd was watchful and concerned
