"way2go away or get out". Covers the topics for people who want to leave and for those who have gotten out. Well, it's not perfect but it is a start.

Greasespot was the first place I went when I left TWI to get some grasp at fellowship. I didn't find it. But it served to help drive me to develop my relationship with God. There were so many people saying things very contrary to the things we were taught, it was hard to believe many had been in TWI. (In fact, I still don't know that for sure.) From what I have observed, there were no protections in place to assure anyone was who they said they were. Hell, I might not be who I said I am. Had it not been for Greasespot, I doubt I would have ever found Waycorps.ning.com. At least there, I was able to connect with people I knew and not hide in obscurity and throw mud at the rain. So, thank you Paw. You did alright. I didn't always like it, but it was educational. P.S. For those of you who don't know me, "YId" began as "Y I Don't go to church" AKA Ric Cox... 10th and 14th Corps AKA Richard Barton The reason I can't go to church is because I could not stand to listen to some idiot teach Mary is the mother of God or Matthew 6:33 and have no idea what the "kingdom of God" meant and even worse, not care. (Bullinger Companion Bible... Appendix 17 and John 4:24 gives a great deal light on this.) When I was in residence my final year, I asked a number of my Corps Compadres if they could Biblically document "Needs and Wants parallel". They all held out their hands like a scale and tried to explain it. So, I asked, "What if I was blind and I could not see your hands???? Where is the Biblical documentation for it????" I seem to recall one person came close to the answer but was still only in the neighborhood. So, I probably couldn't go to your church either. But I'll still miss ya! shallowcreektx@yahoo.com

You said:There is no doubt murderers walking the streets who have killed people In answer to the question of those walking the streets who have murdered, it is not much different than the verse in I John 2:19 1Jo 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. These people are different. They come from the womb just like us, but they do not share the values. HMMM that would make them value-less (i.e. without value) Baal. Any crime is incubated in the mind. All sin begins with a thought and ends with rationalization to the point of justification. According to the stuff we learned in the AC, they are possessed by virtue that a natural man would not voluntarily commit such an act. Right!

Jesus Christ!!! Are you kidding? You know the guy could have put a trade mark on his name and used Jesus H. Christ. What's with JC the III about??? Was there already a second? or should I say a JC Junior? You know, with all the stuff about the economy and problems in the world, it may be a good idea to give this guy a shot at fixing them. But then, how credible could he be? WWJD???? Get hit by a car???? Wt hat? He could walk through water, pass through walls, but some car manufacturer made a car that could take him out? Some people are just too funny to deal with.

WARNING: I will use the word "YOU" in the writing below. If the shoe fits put it on, if it doesn't pass it to the next guy. Don't take it personally. But take it for what applies to yourself or others you know. This is not meant to offend any one person. I'm thankful Waysider had put this in. I also am quite aware that this was in 06. Great! What has changed??? Well, here I go again. Stirring up a bee hive. You know, for the past six to eight years that I have been out of TWI, I have heard people give VPW a lot of shxt about stealing other's works and taking credit for it. Did you notice one of the required reading books was "How to enjoy the Bible". Have you ever read it? It is like reading Shakespere on steroids. Did you ever realize by having you read it, he was showing you how to take what others had done and bring it into present application? He never hid his sources. He worked them until they were his own. I don't really care how many women he screwed or didn't or what he plagerized. Oral Roberts was a seasoned veteran as was Billy Graham. But they didn't reach me or you for that matter. Dr. Wierwille reached you with his ministry. Good bad or indifferent. Whether or not you stood one day or 20 years, no one else thought you were worth being reached. If you think it was an accident that you did not join Billy Graham's Crusade, well what are you doing now? Are you working with Billy Graham or Oral Roberts???? No! Nothing but bitching. Hell didn't you take the same Advanced Class I did? Don't you know what bitterness does to you spiritually? It will Fxxk you up!!! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the link you had. I got blessed. I found nothing but truth in it. I don't care how many used the Red Thread teaching before. For me that (1978) was the first time I heard it and I was on Freaking Fire!!! I probably signed up 5 people for the class because of those teachings and I'm proud I did. I saw God pull of some major miracles in my life and the lives of those I was able to reach. I survived 3 brain surgeries. I should be dead. No one wants to credit God for my survival or the fact that I dealt with it according to the Biblical principles taught, but that is what happened. And for years, I come in here to connect and all I see is absolute hate. Some of you must have thrown away your Bible when you tossed the collaterals. I can understand you might be disgruntled enough to throw away the collaterals... I wouldn't do it...but I've known those who have....but why throw away your Bible also? Some of you use to know 200 plus verses in your mind. How many do you know today? Where's God in your life??? This concludes the YID editorial. Thank you and good nite.

Gee, It's scary to think some of these need explanation. It reminds me of a VW Beetle with a Big "S" on it's side drove by some old timers in West Virginia sitting on the porch of a general store. Cops drove up a minute later and asked,"Which way did that S-car-go?" I had a girl friend in high school with crossed-eyes. Her eyes were so crossed, when she cried, tears rolled down her back... The doctor said she had a bad case of "Back-tearia". I'll leave to another part of the forum now.

This old Texan was bragging to a visitor from Kentucky. "Son, we have enough oil to drive around this ol' world for about 300 years." Not to be out done, the man from Kentucky spoke up and said, "Sir, we have enough gold to build a fence around Texas." The Texan, not missing a step, said, "Son, you build that fence...we'll pay for it!" When it is time to figure out the currency, I am sure we could make those decisions.

YID, The moment that happens, you'll see Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin cease to function as all the foreigners, yankees, and liberals leave the state. For example, I work at a natural gas company in Houston. I'd say that we are split about 50%/50% politically, although it is basically divided between management (mainly Republican) and workers (mainly Democratic). I don't think this state could survive if all that were left were upper management types and religious nuts. YOU SED.... I don't think this state could survive if all that were left were upper management types and religious nuts. You may be right, but just remember, all we would have to do is open the border crossings and allow temporary workers in from Mexico. This would make us their friend. We also have the added benefit of plenty of jobs, we would see republican kids come down south to go to our colleges and many would need summer and part-time jobs. Unemployment would stay at about 3% or less. We'd become the most productive country in the Americas. Excuse me while I sing the Texas National Anthem...... Perhaps the rest from the best will join me in a chorus of "Yellow Rose of Texas" Hey Paw! Where did I hang my hat? ? ? ?? Ex70'sHouston!!!! Did you see it? I gotta find my hat before the band plays "Cotten Eyed-Joe"!!! !!!! !!! oops! I just realized.....I ain't in no dance hall....this is the cafe.

This was sent to me shortly after the election. Since then, the talk gets more heated every day the news reports what he did that day. Some Texans are getting quite disturbed about the current events. I am one of them. Subject: THE COUNTRY OF TEXAS Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.) We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action since B. Hussein Obama won the election. We'll miss you too. Here is what can happen: #1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States; Texas immediately secedes from the Union . #2: Rick Perry will become the President of the Republic of Texas . So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic? 1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas . We will control the space industry. 2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States. 3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning. 4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that. 5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to figure out a way to keep them warm.... 6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications--small companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. 7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, as well as other large health centers. Dallas has some of the best hospitals in the United States. 8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the South anyway. 9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the border when we need some more. 10. We have essential control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc. 11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an Army, but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers. 12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food. This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have. Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama: Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes. You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut off satellite communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr. Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from Global Warming. Signed, The People of Texas P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you something to think about! SLEEP WELL TONIGHT THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!! One Nation Under God

I am hearing rumblings from people in stores and on their jobs as though they would support a Texas succession from the Union. We are one of, if not the only state, with the provision in our charter and declaration of independence. Personally, I've never read it. But enough Texans talk about it to the point it is taken for granted. The economy in Texas, for the most part, is still strong. We have not seen double digit unemployment in San Antonio yet. In fact, the mayor was strutting around like he had just been re-elected last week when it was revealed our unemployment numbers actually went down a little. San Antonio is still growing. In fact, I'm moving 30 miles away to avoid the congestion. Winter is almost over for us. By the middle of February cold fronts will blow through and head straight east within a day. So, one night it might get down into the 40's or 30's, but the next day can see 70's and 80's. This area is struggling through an 18 month drought. Water restrictions are already being implemented. We will survive it because the farmlands are south of San Antonio. They are close enough to the gulf to see some benefits. Enough about San Antonio, what about the rest of the state? Houston seems to be recovering nicely from the hurricanes. West Texas is drilling for oil again. We have enough for Texas without a problem Most of us here wonder how you guys manage in 0 degree weather. Just like you wonder how we handle the heat..... for us, we turn on th air conditioning. Or we go tubing down the river or at Schlitterbaun. Well, have fun with Obama. I am hoping we can succeed before the taxes take affect,, Have a great day, whereever you are.

Kingdom of God vs. Kingdom of Heaven
YID replied to What The Hey's topic in Doctrinal: Exploring the Bible
It may also help to understand 'genatives'. Bullinger Companion Bible (Append 17, I think) Plus, almost every occurrence of the word "heaven" has to be distinguished from physical and spiritual. In Genesis 1:4ff"Firmament" is called "heaven" All other occurrences are dealing with the spiritual realm i.e. angels and God. It is required we look at the context to determine the proper usage. "Kingdom of God" is genative of ???? many or all nine of the genatives could apply, depending on context. In each usage, it is referring to God (who is spirit) as ruler of the spirit realm (since God is spirit). i.e. Kingdom of God the rule of the spirit realm as it relates to God, the rule of the spirit realm owned by God, the rule of the spirit realm as the characteristic of God, the rule of the spirit realm as it relates to God. ect. I did a study on genatives and was real excited about it in light of this phrase. I highly recommend that a serious student do the same. It changed my whole concept of God. By honestly studying it, the concept of God being omni-present and all the other omni's become much more clear. As for the use of the word, "heaven". It is always used in context of the spirit realm or the physical, depending on context. In Genesis 1, it is physical. But when used in other places, it is clearly referring to the spirit realm. This is the best understanding I have from Bullinger's stuff. I recall Dr. Wierwille referred to the "Kingdom of Heaven" as the physical presence of the king on earth. It appears that it would fit in light of the Red Thread, Jesus Christ is the King. So much to study and so little time. -
It has been a while since I visited. So, hello again to all. This will get some people wagging their heads but I want to buy a few things that may shock you. I would like to buy a men's Way Corps Ring (graduated) and a Men's Way Corps Belt buckle. The ring should be a size 12. Contact me at romans100club@yahoo.com Scratched is ok. I am sure some of you threw the rings and buckles away a long time ago. But if you still have them and want to make a little money....I will contribute to the economy. And the congregation said:

I made a decision because of the example my dad left. When he died, he dedicated his body to science. It cost nothing for the family. We then rented a funeral home for a mermorial service. Total cost was probably $500.00 When you dedicate your body to science, the Doctors,medical examiners, and dentists and a whole list of the medical profession in training have a chance to practice. When they have exhausted the use of the body, it is cremated and the ashes are sent back in an urn to the survivors in about six weeks or less. It's the final act of giving back to the world something needed. It's affordable and honorable. My dad had said before he died, "What do I need with it?" He always had a clever way of putting things. In this case, it was simply straight, sober logic. I may have started a family tradition. I was in charge of conducting the memorial service. I wanted that so I could avoid hearing "he was in a better place" or "God needed another angel in heaven" or all the other things people say in grief to deny the Biblical perspective. When it was all done, people were really impressed. I ran the service and all three of my sisters got up and said some great things about him. Some of it was actually funny. Levity in the time of grief can be appropriate if seasoned with heart. It was one of the prouder moments in my life to be allowed to conduct the service.

Ok, I just searched Title 26 and didn't find the clause saying "For purposes of definition, the term United States shall include Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam, and the American Samoa". I'm sure I saw it there before. However there are occurances where the title defines applications for the states and District of Columbia. So, it's a poor argument. No wonder it wasn't mentioned in the video. Who wrote that stuff? Some one was on some serious prescriptions because the title is very contraditory and confusing. I understand it was written that way so no one would attempt to read it. Smart move.

Abigail, There is no governmental agency that is scarier than the IRS. What gave the agency it's reputation was Al Capone. Al Capone was so evasive, the G-Men, T-men couldn't convict him of a parking ticket. His downfall was in an IRS audit. The IRS found or made up enough accusations that put him away for a very long time. You have to wonder what it would be worth it to fight them. I've known people who didn't file for years and worked on a cash basis system only. According to the video, that won't work much longer. I've been audited twice and in both cases I had more receipts than I reported. By accepting less of a so called refund, the IRS was not able to burn me for a lot of money. In fact, had they allowed all the deductions I actually took, and discovered the other receipts, they would have owed me money. That's a great position to be in. Years ago, I ran into a group who called attention to the soverinty of the individual. As a sovereign individual, we are only servants to whom we allow authority over us. In other words, these people claimed it was possible to deny the dominion of the IRS over a soveriegn person. Trouble with the program they spoke of is it required a lifetime of memorizing the constitution and title 26. Speaking of title 26. There was a clause Irwin Schriff found in it which stated (and this is paraphrased from my lack of memory) "For purposes of definition the term United States shall be limited to the residents of Guam, Virgin Islands, Phillipines and the American Samolia." In a court case, Gould vs Gould, the judge ruled that the definition is limited by the context of which it was written. Meaning. the United States, by this definition, could only be limited to the 4 territories and not to the residents of the 50 states (paraphrased). I will look through my files to find the citation verbatim. But it was shattering to the IRS. In their own code, which none of the agents are well read, there was a clause exempting every American from filing. Not just from paying. Oh! The power of rightly-dividing Chapter 26. If you are going to take them on, you'd better read it. I didn't believe the clause existed. Until one day, I went to a central library in the city I live in and looked it up. It was there as plain as day. I would suggest if you are going to fight the IRS, you'd better know title 26 as well as you know the Bible. In the video, I was mused by the frustration on the agent's face when confronted with showing his badge. He didn't have one! ! ! Their power is totally assumed. It is granted by the person they interview or audit. Listen to the interview again and watch his face. It's like confronting a Southern Baptist with Acts 1:5. They never answer the question. They go on the attack with a new question assuming you are responsible to answer and you are found guilty and assumed guilty until proven innocent, which they would nor could ever allow.
