Because, like Bolski said, they'll just jump right back in if you don't renerw your mind. And, they'll bring more of their pals along with them, too. Good Golly! You really shoulda paid more attention in the AC. :P

No surprise there. The Way has always been inordinately concerned with superficial, physical appearances. That's one facet of the "trophy mentality" to which they subscribe.

"It would surely be better to dispose of the land by outright sale to the local farmers? Share their surplus?" Can't be done due to the not-for-profit status.

And these are just the ones we know about.

Hiya, Hairgirl I don't believe we've met. First cup is on the house.

Good tune. Not the correct answer, though.

Here's something to think about. How many times did you notice something that looked suspicious but convinced yourself you were out of fellowship for thinking evil of your brothers and sisters? Just gotta renew the old carnal mind, ya know? So then you come here and realize that when you saw the limb leader's "cleaning lady" leaving at the crack of dawn, it wasn't an unrenewed mind that was waving the red flags. Just makes you want to do this: And follow it up with one of these:

There is nothing to forgive. You haven't done anything wrong. I just go into too much detail sometimes because I know that not everyone reading understands all the little details. I don't mind you joking about it.

Adding a bit of background might help explain this to someone who wasn't exposed to Way doctrine. In The Way, it was taught that when you achieved a greater level of spiritual maturity, you would understand that, whenever the Bible talks about adultery and whoredom, it's (supposedly) talking about "spiritual" adultery and whoredom. (ie: worshiping false Gods) This is why the trinity was such a big deal. It was considered "spiritual adultery" to believe in the trinity. The idea here is that any given scripture can have multiple layers of meaning. When you are new in The Word, it's taught that you understand a scripture from a carnal point of view. As you mature, it's supposed to take on a deeper, more spiritual meaning. (milk for babes/ meat for the fully grown) So, to take scripture at face value was something like confessing to being spiritually immature. Not something you would be anxious to do. edit: this stuff is so twisted and convoluted, it's no wonder it takes so long for some people to flush it down the crapper.
