  1. Time stamp 38:00 goes into cults again
  2. See time stamp 22:22 Another mention that abusive households, social media, and cults have something in common. Cluster B personality disorders. (Such as narcissism)
  3. I recognize some of the names on the GoFundMe page. Followers of The Way were donating.
  4. https://unicourt.com/case/pc-db5-vozzo-v-the-way-international-et-al-688232 Here's a personal injury lawsuit from 2020. Think Charlene was mentioned but I can't browse the documents from here.
  5. I think there was a lawsuit when that young guy killed himself by sitting in front of a train. That was due to an error. (Robinhood app, stock trading) But there was a lawsuit.
  6. I've described my own near attempt here before. I was a teenager. I can state it was due to the conflict and pressure from The Way International and the other Christians around it. In lieu of that, I moved to HQ. I know damn well the followers of The Way are out too lunch. This person was 29 and married. I'm curious of their reasons, but is there a privacy issue? Why not ask her family?
  7. No, he's an ...., and proud of it. He has hundreds of videos online. He apparently teaches at various universities and does conferences. Endless supply of info. I do believe the followers of the way, especially long term ones, are escaping reality deliberately. That is how TWI serves them. That is based on my personal experience.
  8. He's a narcissist . . . He wouldn't lie about that. . . .
  9. Both equations have The Word. So we can equate them. And with each variable you can make a new function. So we can can modify this so the fun never ends. But I would reduce it to Shared Fantasy, the term from Sam Vaknin, the self proclaimed narcissist expert.
  10. AFAIF, suicide and crime rates have been rising since 2020. Cult or no cult. Obviously I'm aware of TWI's presence in Bowling Green and efforts to duplicate at other schools. I didn't know the individual mentioned here, and I see no reference from that person as to why they chose to do this.
  11. The Way International, VPW, a shared fantasy between all participants PFAL and the collaterals as opposed to The Bible.
  12. I wonder what that does to a person . . . If you're surrounded by non-responses over and over and over. . . . Do our minds develop in the absence of other people? I guess The Word takes the place of the absent minds.
  13. How is this attributed to The Way other than this individual was a Fellowship coordinator? I wouldn't want to speculate.
  14. Did you inquire from others in the TWIG about this? I'm picturing blank stares, avoidance of eye contact, and efforts to pretend the question was never asked or heard.
  15. Just using a sounding board. Life is on the interface of the known and the unknown. Have one foot in each. Two feet in one is rigid and two feet in the other is madness. Although at commencement it's hard not to notice the science degrees are overwhelmingly soft.
  16. Many claim limit their perspective on what is scientifically knowable. Wouldn't this be a form of narrow-mindedness? Is there no knowledge outside of science? I would think the soft sciences is where there is room to make this view fit.
  17. Wait, the hedgehog of protection is made of dollah billz??
  18. Right the soft sciences are not really science. The Bible uses stories, not mathematics, to relate.
  19. All ten points seem to relate to how people relate to other people. . . As on observation. Science is mentioned at the beginning but I wonder if that is misleading. Why mention science? . . . Does anyone use science for relating to others?
  20. When the Devil reminds you of your past, you remind him that he is a fictitious deflection point that can only speak to that which he is.
  21. Truth can be guaranteed? What is the spirit realm except a fantasy where cowards hide? . . . Like hiding behind a book in class, if I can't see the teacher, then they can't see me
  22. Research Compartment (-ilize)?
  23. I'm stuck on the part with Jesus being omnipresent. How do you wrap that? It's a gift right?
