I received the latest (Jan/Feb05) magazine today. I've only begun to skim it but thought you may enjoy their mission statement (so to speak) for the new ministry year. This was taken from their Sunday (service) Highlights. I've given you the full text printed for each member of the board. R*venbark: "It's my pleasure to share with you that in the 2004-2005 year, we'll have the privilege of uniting around the theme The Promised Land of the Prevailing Word: Building Biblical Understanding. We'll move forward together on this theme, reaching new heights of understanding our heavenly Father's heart for us, His children. From youth to maturity, understanding the knowledge of God's Word is essential for success." P*atig: "Why build Biblical understanding? Because we profit as we hear the Word of truth of the gospel and as we follow through to the point where we know the grace of God in truth. That Word begins to bring forth fruit in our lives from that day forward. Fruit is profit—it is sustenance, it is advantage, it is godly advancement." D* L*sle: "Building Biblical understanding requires both the knowledge and the application. We first acquire the knowledge of God's Word, and then we do the building. We read the Scriptures, we work the research that has already been proven in our ministry publications, and thereby we increase in the knowledge of God's Word. Then we put into operation that Word that we have built in our lives, in our hearts." © TWI

Your welcome and I'm very sorry for what you've had to endure with your family.

HCW, thank you for the balance of your thoughts. And for caring to lay them out when we questioned.

I'm tracking on what the victim needs to see of themsleves so far........

How long shall we suffer those who would blame the victim? HCW, I really do enjoy your intellect and ability to lay words to print but you can have all the experiences in the world with VP and Craig but you can’t know what a man becomes behind a closed door. And you should pay especial attention to the words of Mark in respect to the authority and accountability of a clergy towards their care. As far as women having the balls to come out with their accounts, some have balls not to. And ((shaz))! And Evan...ha ha ha ha

(((Mark and Raf)))

Allan, A most courageous post. Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to do so with us. Welcome! :)-->

How true JT! :(-->

HCW, Your post I was humored with was imaginative. Your second post about WordWolf was unfair IMO. He has a heart for God's Word and has demonstrated honor in these forums. You may want to get to know him better. As far as you sharing your accounts, I appreciate your experiences being relayed and thank you for them.

So why didn't you ask if he was related to Mike also? :D--> ;)-->

Sad is a good word for the more not spoken, thank you for picking up on it.

But his wife did and he allowed it, from what I understand. I'll not deny that, but there is more yet. He was not just passive. I realize this is incomplete. My apologies for that.

WordWolf, sorry for laughing at your expense, although I really am not, I assure you of that, but this is so funny I cannot hold back.....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Actually I don't consider him to have been one. I know there is history there, but he didn't bow to Craig. And admittedly it is very good speculation.

Not that this is a biggie but it was said by someone here that they no longer have LEAD. But they still do. Also thank you Belle for repeating it was speculation in regards to Ed Horney. I appreciate your covering for me like that. Thank you!

OMG that's almost poetic.

Geer had no idea what he was talking about. They used each other, but VP the more skilled. Soon the young one to master. Craig adored VP.

I trust your memory better than mine on dates. Thanks Radar.

I was told the same thing by Howard. You can't control what the government will take so you give from what is yours to control. Can't recall the exact year but it was either 95 or 96. And sorry Belle, can't recall the verse either.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Still give from your net. We gave enough we could pay cash for this house, buy another vehicle outright and go to this kick@foot eatery never shadowed the doorway of. We gave in excess of 15%.

I'll post more later, all I can stand of looking at this material for now.

Mark, don't hold back please. :D--> And if you liked those you'll love these little ditties I just came across: Because we're in a household and I'm interested in growing and developing myself and, in doing so, the better I get at my skills, the more I can bless you, and that inspires others to do their best, then I get my need supplied according to the long-suit believing of others. Are you ready to advance on chaos and the dark? I'm here to show you how! © TWI

WordWolf, I recall that but didn't find it on quick perusal. If you'd like I can do further work, but to be frank, I'd prefer to look thru Craig's classes for gems to bring here. Here's one I noted while searching for his "5 senses" stuff, and found it to be prophetic of sorts. Quote from "foundational" class: Religion is never logical; it's only ritualistic. It's for people that don't want to think. God gave us a brain to think and study to show ourselves approved unto God and to allow this Word to dwell in us richly. So you make up your mind. Something else kind of interesting from "intermediate" class: The choice for mankind: Discipline yourself to the old nature-the ways of the wilderness, the spirits that speak from the ground; Or Discipline yourself to the highway of the upright, of the righteousness-the sanctified walk-the way of abundance and power. This is true discipleship. Closed with: If we make the right choice, that truth shall make us free. This one I just had to throw in for the heck of it also from "intermediate" class: Work this, live this, control your thinking and your tongue (I Corn 13). Line your behavior up appropriately. If we love God, we obey the Word in our attitude one to another and our attitude toward the ruling ministries in the Body. Going back to the "advanced" class now to see if anything of interest, as well as, see if any detail from him on the "5 senses" thing. Not sure when I'll be back, it's a thick syllabus and I'm snooping while doing something else. © TWI

I failed to find anything specific in the PFAL book so moved onto Craig's classes. There was something that caught my eye while looking for his explanation of the WAP class. But first, yes it did have abundance having categories for physically/mentally/spiritually. In the foundational class The Way quickly referred to Proverbs 16:17 thus keeping it tied to the highway set by Jesus Christ. Then in the intermediate class for The Way it quickly refers to our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. But in the advanced class listen to the full definition for The Way and see how it left out completely THE WAY, and it adds enough wiggle room for them to have a sequel (oh wrong industry). The Way—This is the route, the path to this abundance and power; it's the avenue to victory, the boulevard, artery, thruway, passage, access, and the course to the detailed doctrine and practice whereby God makes available to us this life more than abundantly. © TWI
