Working the word consists of getting it to say what it must say no matter what it does say.

It was when I applied the "outsider test" to what I believed that I moved on from Christianity. I started by questioning what Martindale was peddling in WayAP; comparing what he was saying to existing Way doctrine That led me to questioning what Wierwille taught; comparing what he taught to his own "keys to the Word's interpretation That led me to look at the various offshoots, all teaching different things, all based supposedly on the same "keys" That led me to question whether there even could be a right dividing of the bible Which led me to ask myself why I thought there was a good reason to believe that the bible was any truer than anything else For a long time I maintained an agnostic position about the bible, reasoning that it might be true, but did not see any evidence to support that position Eventually I came to believe that it definitely wasn't handed down by any deity and that it contained a lot of factual errors More recently I have formed the opinion that the bible is not only not God-inspired, but on the whole is a pretty immoral book (especially the OT) This all took years...
