Ad infinitum. This is an old thread and is no longer relevant. Some other posters have some better threads on the topic that are available.

Like Bruce Wayne and Batman?

I wasn't asking you "Are you mad?" I doubt you are mad. These statements in your post seem to contradict themselves. As has been a pattern in your posts. Folks are too afraid to face each other but are unkind online? Have you seen the violent nature of the real world? People face each other. Take a position and defend it. Or don't. It speaks just as clearly where you stand. As an agent of chaos. The teachings of Victor Paul Wierwille are all about breaking down form in conversation. Destroying meaning. Then arbitrarily using people whenever possible. Twisting words and manipulating when convenient. Or not, when convenient.

Thou shalt not surely die.

You know it was nice to learn table etiquette at the noon meal, but, I wonder if having 8 people to a table was a form of peer pressure. You had to share, and couldn't take what you need, but what was equal. If you took more than 1/8, you certainly felt like you were taking from someone else at the table.

Some of the folks I'm thinking of are part of the R&R now. Yes they once sent fish to HQ when I was there. I think the corps did that. It wasn't bad. I was probably hungry and would've said anything that wasn't wilted lettuce was good. (Back then we sent someone to McDs to bring food for after lunch)

I, thankfully, never made it out to CG. I believe I've known folks who've hunted there but my memory might be mixing things up.

I don't if they are intentional or not. I do know TWI has a reputation for being cheap. I also know protein is the more costly part of a meal.

No no. Maternity dresses. Flag raising. There's a direction here.

Wasn't really speaking directly to you in that post. Although you are free to respond to it. I did speak directly to you my previous post. Which you have not responded to. I am curious to know why the book, Receiving the Holy Spirit Today has any value?

TWI does the same thing on their website. Point to God, it's outside yourself after all. Point at individual for doubting God. Not your act after all. Point at individual for being weak. You didn't do this after all. Point to solution, as it is God's idea. Still outside yourself after all. Insert yourself as God's messenger. You're just here to help. Put yourself in place of God. You win!

I'll try to clarify. The works VPW plagiarized weren't practical. It's like plagiarizing Mein Kampf. You're not being original AND it's a bad idea. It's "crap" because, like crap, you don't eat it. And by eat I mean make it part of your being.

I'm Batman. Gotham needs me. So are we rotting flesh or are we seated at the Right Hand as Super-conquerors? In Way World it appear to depend on the context. Are we inflating our egos over another or deflating another's see we look bigger?

I'm not going to argue the plagiarism part. If his ideas were crap did he steal them from God? If you say so. How were Stiles ideas not crap?

I think he was being sarcastic. Since a child knows better, I'll assume you know what was meant. Maybe start by showing the overall content of the books had any value.

I think I can remember a part of PFAL where VPW had a bunch of "X"s of different sizes. He mentioned it doesn't matter the size they're all the same. Which is complete nonsense. Some fruit is certainly better than other fruit. Everyone knows that, as I believe you do too. I condemn VP's works. I condemn the works of those who follow VP's works. If you follow VP's works, you are hurting others. I condemn my own acts that are a result of following VP's works. I've worked to understand and undo those works. Is that clear to you? I am not going to agree that we're all suddenly now equal, so that a false ideal can be introduced and glorified, thereby we agree to commit more evil. VPW's works are evil. What you call The Word, God's Word, is really the works of an evil man which you have fallen for in your weakness. You are misusing and misrepresenting an ancient document (The Bible) to see the world as VPW taught you to see it.

We do not all do the same things. We may have similar situations, similar opportunities, similar potential, similar thoughts, similar choices. We don't all do the same things. I don't see how everyone needing God's help makes everyone equal. Mayb rrobs, whoever you are, is equal to VPW. Which is your choice. That doesn't mean the rest of us are your equal.

In a Totalitarian System you are in utopia and everything is must be perfect. Because why wouldn't it be perfect? It's Utopia. If you admit there is anything wrong then that is admitting the system isn't perfect. The (Way) World falls apart. How dare You. Therefore if something is wrong it can't be the system. It must be You. And You wouldn't want that, would You? So nothings wrong. Ever. It is Utopia, right?

A lot of Christianity is sacrifice. It's a simple concept to know if you withhold gratification there will be future benefits. Invest your money and it will grow into more than you have now. But in the future. (Mathew 25:27) Money is a simple example. In TWI we gave money and time because we thought God would bless us and others back somehow. . . . That didn't pan out. So it's easy to dismiss the whole idea of sacrifice after that mess. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If you think of Heaven, and God, as The Future that we negotiate with, or put our trust in as we make sacrifices or delay gratification for some purpose, sometimes not fully understood how it will work . . . Maybe a lot more people, who've left Christianity, do think and live like Christians more than they might realize. They don't think "treasures in Heaven" they think "Future prosperity and stability for all".

When accepting a Totalitarian Mindset one confuses the belief system with one's identity. So without him, nobody can do anything right. Also, everything becomes a threat to him. Even the followers. Destructive decisions begin to flow naturally.

It gave follower's a reason not to worry about retirement. . . . You have kids? That's GOD's plan for you in old age. Believe. Just another way followers push responsibility on to others around them by choosing to follow TWI leadership. (of course they'll claim Leadership made them do it blah blah blah)

It was taught in the 90s.
