Can you explain what this means? The scriptures say that God doesn't change, His word doesn't change. So, why would the execution of TIP need to change?

If it had been a genuine "manifestation of spirit", not only would none of this mattered, it would not have been necessary to change anything. I think we can all recall a few scriptures that speak to the timelessness and unchanging nature of God's Word.

"Breaking news!.... Tic just licked himself.... We return you now to your regularly scheduled twig meeting."

Are there any good listings in THIS one? (Sorry, I don't have time to check them at the moment.)

Oh, look. My was just delivered.

"Any volunteer may be dismissed at any time and/or program cancelled at sole discretion of those charged with oversight." <_<

Very interesting. I had a similar, though non-healing, experience myself. It resembled what we would think of as being a revelation sort of incident, though I'm not saying that's what it was. It was so strange and startling and anti-TWI, I didn't act on it. If I had, my life what have taken a dramatically different turn for the better. I told my twig leader about it and he told me it was "unrenewed mind". Years later, I discovered on GSC that what I had seen was actually true. It never happened to me before or after that event.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown Groucho.

Same as it ever was........

So true.....The purpose of undershepherding was to isolate/insulate newbies from outside influences.

Carpe Diem

Be careful. Somebody might steal "The Club" and leave the car....he he!

I'm still waiting for Godot.

Careful there, Ham. This caveat is posted on their site: "Any volunteer may be dismissed at any time and/or program cancelled at sole discretion of those charged with oversight."

Yeah, that's what VPP taught in PLAF (The Wonder Class). The whole Way "thang" is so chock full of contradictions, you might as well toss the whole thing in the crapper and give it a good flush.

Embarrassed-----that I walked the straight and narrow, thinking that's what all the other good wayfers were doing.

This is the original question.

It's kismet.

I believe that is derived from the Greek phrase which, when loosely translated, means "kissed the right butts".

The secret of its success is its clandestine nature

I've heard it stated by someone in the inner workings of the organization, that, on at least one occasion, WOW assignments were determined by throwing darts at a dart-board.....I'm not joking.

It was not by "revelation", if that's what you mean. :B)

I find myself wondering if or how the Hayflick Limit might play a role in all this.

Wow! I thought the whole thing operated by revelation. hahahahahahahahahaha!
