I'll second that! edit: And I think this is why he acted like Fellow Laborers was nonexistent. He realized rather quickly that Burt*n's franchise operation was diverting revenue from the company store.---sorry, that might be too far off topic.

Before I "got in the word" in 1972, I considered myself a spiritual person. When I contemplated the amazing complexity of something so "seemingly" basic as the life cycle of a tree frog or the immense power in a lightning strike, I saw something profound yet indefinable. Call it God, if you choose, or call it a supreme force or being. All I know is that there seemed to be some sort of message being directed to me that transcended the boundaries of language. Then, along came TWI. "Oh, No!, you can't allow yourself to think like that! Those thoughts are the adversary trying to divert you from the greatness of "The Written Word". Yes, friends, if God needs or wants to talk to you, he'll simply have to do so by virtue of "word studies" and "literals according to usage". And so, the lesson I learned in The Way is that the only proper way to really understand God is to put Him in a tiny little box where you can examine Him whenever you wish with a high powered microscope that can split infinitives and diagram sentences until God is left standing in the shadows shouting,"Hey! I'm not in your stupid, little, box. I'm out here in the roaring thunder and babbling of a brook."

Yes, his success with the weight loss regimen should enable him to leap tall buildings with a single bound.

Actually, I think you are quite on point. The topic is---"When I heard". You said....."way before chri$ geer read his pop paper the red flags were FLYING EVERYWHERE." Red flags were flying everywhere, but not all of us had a good vantage point from which to see them. Hence---"When I heard."

Yeah--and try not to make things too confusing, either. :P

Just when you thought you'd heard it all.

Maybe this is what VeePee was trying to quote:

What did you plan to do with the gun? Stop anyone who tried to ride away on one of Wierwille's many ill-gotten Harleys?

Based on THIS link, it appears there were four graduates. They better ramp it up if they ever hope to catch up with Gramps.

While I see your point, 1 hallucination of snow on the gas pumps stirred quite a bit of zealous activity. Of course, maybe it was just a lie from its inception and not a hallucination. -
AMEN!!

I had suspicions about a few things as early as the mid 1970's but never really knew what happened until I happened onto GreaseSpot. (I "left" in 1990.) Like others have stated, I, too, thought what I was seeing was isolated.

That's pretty much what we've been asking all along. So far, though, no answers.

You packed a gun???? :o Why?

Hey! Maybe this rubbish dump thing explains why "Dr.'s Last Teaching" has been missing all these years. It's been floating amidst the miles and miles of toxic garbage, virtually indistinguishable from all the other trash.

When I was in high school, I was in a band that played at school dances and such. One of the tunes we did was Mr. Tambourine Man. (The Byrds cover version) We added a verse that made reference to an issue of local importance. Therefore, I think it is safe to say that we were actually the true authors of Mr.Tambourine Man. :blink:

Hi, crystalclearblue Yes, it is sad. The Way promised to deliver a pie-in-the-sky utopia (via what they claimed was "God's Word") that defies the reality of how real life works. Maybe we were all just too young and naive to see it (The Way) for what it really was, a money making scheme for VPW & Co. Anyway, welcome to GSC. Have a latte on the house.

Friends, it's time once again for some HOMEGROWN TOMATOES.
