So much for "in-depth spiritual perception and awareness".

As someone else stated, it's not their personal lifestyle I find unacceptable, it's the hypocrisy of the situation.

I doubt you need any special "spiritual perception" to see through this wacky scam. That sort of "revelation" is "available" to "saints and sinners alike".

Maybe the guy he "became" was actually the real one, hidden behind the nice guy facade....just a thought.

Well, I'll be darned. Maybe they were right after all when they taught that "What you look at you become.".

We're all really just animals in the least common denominator, aren't we? (Some are cool cats....Some are dirty dogs.)

Roy I'm sorry you feel this way. We're all in the same boat together, each of us rowing, to try to make some headway. Not everyone has the same desire or ability to row. That's human nature. You'll find it in every sort of effort that has any degree of organization, whether it be the Cub Scouts, the PTA, the local soup kitchen or GSC. I wish you nothing but the best in your journey. Peace, Brother.

Hitler drew much inspiration from Mussolini. His (Hitler's) spin-offs, such as the Neo-Nazis, are still very active, even today. Yeah, but Mussolini didn't get anybody born again. Nor did Wierwille, according to the various scriptures I've perused over the years. his biblical teachings are still thriving. Primarily amongst those who are either unaware of the flagrant inaccuracies or are aware yet, choose to live in denial. Actual Errors in PFAL

These days, when I hear talk about spirits, I find myself reminiscing about the magic routine that Bullwinkle Moose tried, unsuccessfully, to execute in . Bullwinkle, with mystic turban in place, would announce, "Heeny Peeny, Chili Beany, the spirits are about to speak." Rocky's response would be to pose the question....."Are they friendly spirits?"

VPs leadership inspired just too many people from too many different backgrounds to just be a "fraud". ............................................. I suppose one might make the same argument for Benito Mussolini. "In the years following his creation of the Fascist ideology, Mussolini influenced, or achieved admiration from, a wide variety of political figures" SOURCE

Wayfers are like ... They're everywhere, they're everywhere!!(And, they share a similar success rate.)

The first step is to physically remove yourself...stop going to meetings, stop taking classes, stop giving them money, stop using the off-shoots as a surragate while pretending you've removed yourself. The next phase is tougher to define. it's really going to depend on the individual. Remember, part of the indoctrination process (session 7 of PFAL) actually instructs people to actively resist anything that would divert their focus away from Way theology. "what is/are the last steps when you can say I am free..." Based on recent activity I've witnessed from people on FB and other places, I'm not entirely sure anyone who was fully indoctrinated can ever really say "I am free (from The Way)".

The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones. ..........Mark Anthony

Yes, the black cat is considered to be both bad luck and good luck, depending on the location and circumstances. Likewise, this so-called idiom of permission can be see from two (or more) different perspectives as well. Does God cause the evil? Does God simply allow the evil? It all appears to be relative to one's ability to rationalize and justify the illogical.

Supposing the incident really happened....Whatever became of "delivering" people, preaching the gospel, having an enlightening, two way conversation, considering the other person's viewpoint?....Nope, we'll have none of that..... Eve dared to "consider" another viewpoint and look what happened to her.

You are correct!!
