Allan

Well known amongst Billy Grahams followers is that he would never be alone in a room or anywhere else with a female. There was always someone else there to abstain from any appearance of evil or unseemliness...

Geesh, you people !! All I know IS the Word works...if it works in one way and direction for Mike, great. If it works for you or someone else in another way on another journey, great too ! If it's working for ya, isn't that what it's supposed to do ?!

I'm with Galen on this one ! TWI had a number of coined phrases such as 'don't tell all that you know' that reinforced the concept of not telling the whole truth and of course not telling the 'whole' truth morphed into some kind of hazy line between fact and fiction ! ( Pharaoh after Abrahams wife was the justification for this one ). There were many more, I just can't think off the top of my head atm.

Well, here in Australia #metoo has begun to morph into women hating on women ! examples, attempts to ban cheerleaders, boxing round placard bearing girls in bikinis, formula one grid girls etc....appears to be more motivated by that green eyed monster ? I thought 'feminism' was about a womans right to choose ?...as a side note...I wonder if women were hit on by handsome men like Chris Hemsworth, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, would they be complaining ??

Skyrider, T-Bone, Wordwolf...you are so 'right on the money' ( excuse the pun ) about them, it's almost like prophecy !!! forth telling and foretelling that is

Taxidev, as someone who has a bro-in-law directly involved in leadership and the COUNTLESS wrongs he has done to my family and I and others ( including a number of women..I think you get the drift ) I will let you know when we get an apology from him and his wife ! That might tell me something about this r & r group and their motives. That it's taken them 20 years to jump ship ( After the LCM fiasco speaks volumes to me. IMO, they are all a bunch of used up hacks that have realised they aint gonna be getting any support from twi as their sunset years fast approach so are going to use what abs they have for themselves and THEIR families....

Hey brother ! Your story most likely resounds with thousands who were ever involved with twi...glad for the 'good bits', doubly thankful to God for getting the sweet Jesus out ! You are not alone.

whilst we're throwing away songs here's one from me...insert way ministry where you want !!

I personally do not really lay a finger of blame at those who were/ still are, involved with twi who were grass level, twig turner upper, help others get saved type of believers BUT there IS NO justification for them who were/still are in leadership positions who turned a blind eye to the insidious bs going on in that vile place. Now it seems with rnr off-shoot 'leadership' they are all about covering their own backsides as their lightbulb moment has hit them that they will not be taken care of by twit hq in their old age lol...every man and dog for themselves huh ?!

I personally know of around 15 differnt ones here in the land down unda !!

This is interesting because I recently looked into a bit of geographical AND botanical background about the ' tares' Jesus referred to when he mentioned about the tares and wheat growing together until ' harvest' lest the wheat ( God's people ) be uprooted along with the tares. The question of course is WHO or WHAT are the ' tares' ? The tares are of course another name for ' weeds'....but here's what I thought was interesting...in the Palestine area one of the most common weeds is the ' lolium temuletum' or ' bearded darnell'. The bearded darnell is a species of rye grass that so closely resembles wheat that it can only be differentiated ONCE the wheat has reached maturity ! Also, this bearded darnell contains a soporific poison that if ingested causes a stupor or almost hypnotic, sleepy effect to the victim !! Any thoughts on who or what the tares are ? My guess is the ' pc' brigade, but what say you ? ( maybe this shoulda been posted in the doctrinal section but when I read about these posts ala 'brain trips' couldn't help myself lol )

Interesting topic as here in Australia debate still rages on about a programme in schools called ' safe schools' programme. It started out as anti bullying in schools against lgbtq etc... but has ended up being caught out as a 'cover' for PROMOTING lgbtq etc...I guess everyone has their own agenda or cause in life. On television only last week two prominent Australian doctors srecialising in gender dysmorphia ( an unhappiness with ones gender ) stated in all their many years of dealing with pre- pubescent children who the parents thought were suffering from gender dysmorphia less than 10 percent still felt that way once they had gone through puberty...these under 10 percent teens went on to become gay. The media as always lead the general public to think it's more like 50/50 !!

I think of that poem that went something like..." I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day. I'd rather you show me how than merely tell the way. For the eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear...I may mistake what you say but what you DO is very clear"

Rrobs, I don't know if you're here as a plant, on a cause to win back G'spotters, here just to stir, here as a promo for the new/old restore & revive mob ( do none of them realize it's IMPOSSIBLE to revive a corpse that's been dead for decades anyhoo ) !!.....I really don't give a hoot.....I DO however agree with your beliefs concerning the Word of God. That puts me at odds with many on here, it's called give & take...heck I recently made a not insignificant donation to this site without even a thankyou from it's ' trustees' lol BUT that won't stop me from being involved here...hope you'll stick around, independant thought is good

reasonably well known me thinks; Mrs. Allan would also remind her not to worry so much ! i'll give her this much tho, she obviously never let Mi$eal know about mrs. Allan giving her advice coz crapola never hit the fan about it

I think you kinda missed the point Twinky...even the nurses considered her overboard in worry and fear ! This, from leadership teaching people to have no fear ?! As you know, we brought up 6 kids just believing God through all the sniffles and sneezes and grazed knees (ys )..hey , potential lyrics there lol

This is the thing you see, when it comes to leadership, they live by differn't rules of believing. My wife looked after our country co-ords young daughter once whilst they were overseas. She had been asked by the wife of the country co-ord before they left to take her to their doctor the following day for a 'check up'. When my wife took her in, the nurses laughed and commented how her mom brought her in nearly every other day if the child so much as sneezed !!! Oh the fear in the heart of that mother lol...wish I could quote it in the original

very thankful for your life GVC ! I knew another guy in way of New Zealand who got cancer. Leaderships solution ? Move out of home, in with believers and get out there and witness witness witness, even in the midst of a wet, cold winter. Of course he got sicker sicker sicker ! In the end he thought "screw this you idiots". So he moved back home as he figured better to die in the comfort of his bed lol....He got healed AFTER he was marked & avoided

Absolutely correct waysider...whilst in-residence in family corps a new family came in ( after selling all and uprooting ) only to THEN be told because their young son had diabetes they had to repack and leave campus...heartless, soul-less, hypocritical fcukers

Why not ! lol

Just looked at twi site and their latest multi media song list...seriously, we are talking about people stuck in a time warp from the...? fill in the blank,,,I say '80's

You know I offered one time to pray and minister healing for his back yeah ? bro, I got such a face melting lol

sorry, password only available to the faithful followers of the (former, faithful followers of the way)

I'm sad for you !! The 80's WERE THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DWBH, I wanted to post that on some points you have slightly exaggerated or embellished the actual truth and facts somewhat.....and yet, I cannot ! You are absolutely right on EVERY POINT. Even the fact you noted ' around the world', or I should say, to the 'the uttermost parts of the earth' their poneros and kakos pervaded. "Twice around the world to make people twice the child of hell you yourselves are" - Jesus
