Are we really using this atrocious video to "prove" RR is a "good person"? I was hoping for something a bit more concrete and directly connected.

How to get a cat to each what you decide it should eat: Don't feed it anything else, no matter how much it plays on your sympathy. DO make sure it has plenty of water during the transition.

She was an integral part of the process that supplied VPW and LCM with innocent young woman to drug, rape and otherwise abuse. She has never offered a public apology or acknowledgment of her complicity. In fact, she flat out lied about it when confronted by legal personnel. What, pray tell, has she done that absolves her and sets her in the position of pastoring? How can she help people "heal their hearts" when she was a key player in the origination of their sorrows? Allow me to state it a bit more bluntly. "Can a pimp change its spots?"

Hi, Kizka It's terrible what was done to you. The Way was a very sick place in so very many ways. I hope you will stick around awhile and get to know us. There is a lot of interesting information here on the front page. (You might be particularly interested in "Losing The Way".) Glad you found this place.

Oh, yes. I'm quite sure he must have been.

I can recall one particular time in FLO when I had to get special permission to go to the post office in town to retrieve a special package from home on a Saturday morning. Hey! If they let ME ditch work assignment, EVERYBODY will be doing it before long. (Same deal with haircuts and dental appointments.)

Absolutely. "Give a man a fish story----(PFAL)----- and you'll eat today. Teach him to fish----ABS----- and you'll eat for a lifetime."

Well, if it really is based on Volume III of Studies in Abundant Living, it would certainly be ironic. The contents of that particular book have been weighed in the GSC balance and found to be dreadfully lacking. Hey, Innies! Pick any chapter in that book and do a search here at GSC. I'll be sure to buy you your first cup of java at GSC when you bail out of that sinking ship called The Way International.

Now, see, this is where you seem to be confusing them with a Christian organization. They're not. They're an MLM business. They're kinda like a quaint little restaurant with checkered tablecloths and candles that serves as a front for a money laundering scheme.You're not welcome in the back room but feel free to sit out front and order as much spaghetti as you want. (Be sure to leave a generous tip for the wait staff)

:o

Hey Billy G. You any relation to Kenny?

Ahhh Acts 5th Ave. We did that in FLO, too. I think we had a different name for it, though. Should have called it Philemon's Basement.

Kinda reminds me of a line from an old Henry Thomas song called Fishing Blues. "Here's a little something I would like to relate Any fish bites if you've got good bait."

Maybe they are talking about The Word's Way (Studies in Abundant Living/Vol. III) That's the one with 4 crucified/ body, soul, spirit/ genealogy of Jesus Christ/ the unforgivable sin/ the cry of triumph, etc.

For late arrivals: Please refer to page one, where Raf established the criteria.

I don't think they will ever have to worry about the money running out. What they need to worry about is their membership numbers falling too low to maintain a facade of legitimacy. Hence the "spider and the fly" routine.

The question is not necessarily literal. It's more about the sense of betrayal that accompanies a sudden realization.

"She really knows what she's talking about."

Unless she does something like did.Nah----not gonna happen. :P

Sort of reminds me of one of those made-for-TV movies on the L!fe+ime Channel. Hubby has to "work late" all the time. Wife feels so bad that he has to work so hard to build a future for the two of them. Then----- One day she accidentally discovers that all those nights she was toiling over a hot stove, perfecting his favorite treat,creme brulee, he wasn't at the office after all. It hits her like a ton of bricks to think that while she was stirring a pot on the stove, he was stirring something entirely different.

Please feel free to substitute the MOGFODAT that is most chronologically relevant to your experience.

We've had several "where were you?" threads. Where were you when JFK was assassinated? Where were you when the towers fell? Where were you when we landed on the moon? Where were you----? But here's a bit of a twist. That night in session 12, when you spoke in tongues for your very first time and knew that you knew that you knew------Where was Wierwille? Perhaps he was riding one of his high priced motorcycles or off on a "hunting trip" with Howard. Maybe he was three sheets to the wind, polishing off yet another bottle of Drambuie. Maybe he was "counseling" an innocent young recruit on "what it means to be alive". Think about it. At that very moment, what do you think VPW was doing?

She was a key player in the sex scandal that rocked The Way. In light of that, all other points about her seem moot.
