Happy Weekend, one and all!

There's no question that mistakes were made, no question. But I do find it hard to believe that twi leaders would intentionally want these things. "Intent" .... That means they wanted it to happen. Do you really believe that? If you do, please consider deeply the next quote, replacing twi with the RC church, of your last paragraph. I think it's fair to apply this reasoning, if it's true, to RC church and other churches and groups wherein these things may happen:

Here you go Allan: When Forgiveness Is A Sin

Did you freely avail?

It takes a village.

I agree with Allan's statement. It just makes sense. Why would someone go to a church if they didn't think it was the best out there? Why waste time and money on something you don't believe is THE way to go?

Somehow I get the feeling that VP didn't literally mean that... but that our commitment should be that fanatical about the Word, and preserving it. It does make a great sound byte. Who knows, maybe he had a little too much drambuie that day.

What was once an absolute "yes" answer, has turned into "it's possible".

I loved the movie JFK. Some believe it was the CIA who were protecting themselves from Kennedy. Some believe it was the mafia. Some even believe it was the Israeli Mossad in cooperation with the Jewish Mob, who had it in for Kennedy because he was against Israel becoming a nuclear state. Here's a related quote: Reuven Pedatzer in the Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz, February 5, 1999, reviewing Avner Cohen's new book, "Israel and the Bomb".Whoever did it, one thing I believe -- Lee didn't act alone, if at all...

Now that is really unbelievable. I can imagine someone in twi saying you should have been turned over to satan, for the betrayal... but accusing you of being a seed boy? Do you remember who said this and what time period?

For me, there was no difference. When I signed for the 6th, I made a commitment to serve in twi for a lifetime, which was synonymous with serving in the body of Christ, or doing Christian service. I do believe serving in twi can be Christian service. But I also believe the reverse is possible too. I think the difference is all based upon the mindset of the individual making the decision.

That's so sad... I would have helped. Thank God you didn't kill yourself.

Doojable, I'm not angry at all. I was happy to help out when I could. Of course, sometimes I said "no", like the time someone I really didn't like that much asked me to sponsor him. It went something like this: "can you sponsor me"? "well I'm already sponsoring two other people" "can you sponsor a third"? :( That is bold, but also selfish. I'm glad I didn't.

Golly, I doubt my letters are gonna be as harsh as yours, Belle. Most of mine are of the 70's and 80's. :)

If this thread can be limited to letters, it'd be great. I'd love to read all who freely avail to share them. :)

Ricky, please feel free to share what you are being taught in the class.

Ck I agree with you. Belle, thanks so much for starting this thread. You hit a home run. :) I've been wanting to search through my Way Memorabilia for some time now, and this thread may motivate me to do that.

yeah you begged people like me to pay for it. :)

Happy birthday OnionEater whoever you are. I love onions.

Cretins and Arabians, I think I'll do some speaking in tongues. :)

That's a good point Allan, thanks.
