I prefer watching TCM.

I have read quite a few references concerning WayDale on these threads. Was that a splinter group of twi? I watched the video of Dr. Dale. Is he the Dale in WayDale? I can't say I remember him from twi. Maybe I would have 25 years ago. What was or is WayDale about?

Thanks Cheranne.....very funny video.

Don'tWorryBe, You have to educate me on the Wayne Clapp thing. It has been many years since I talked to him. A few years after I left twi and he, also, I learned that he was teaching in a town near me. I was going through a horrible divorce/child custody. He was our limb leader while we were wows in Iowa. Wayne (and Fern) was always so loving and caring and helped me heal so much concerning the divorce/child custody. It has been many years since I have been acquainted with his doings.

I actively participate in revenge by making the other person's life as miserable as they made mine... Seriously though, this is how I figger it. I have come a long way baby. I look back at myself when I was younger and I say, "Was that me? Did I really think that way?" That person no longer exists. Yet, it is who I was years ago. I have grown and matured and now much wiser. Geez, the stupid and hurtful things I did, said and believed in my youth. I just chalk others actions up to the same thing. I still regret hurting my mother as I did. I believed "leader""ship" that I should stay away from my natural family because they were not in twi. But my mama never held a grudge. She loved me and prayed for me and held me in high esteem despite my hurtful behavior. Some years later I was talking to her about this I asked her to forgive me for hurting her so. She pssshhhddd...and said I know you didn't mean anything by it. You were just a kid. Now that has taught me how I should look at others. I believe I am who I am today because of her being one of our Fathers faithful. O. K.... getting emotional here.

Did you intend to this to be on the Way forum? Perhaps, I need to read the guidelines for the Doctrinal.

Very sad news, here. The mater plants are no more. No more home grown tomatoes. Usually we have them into November. But this summer was brutal because of the lack of rain. I savored the last one the other day. The next home grown tomato sandwich will be looked forward to as a hallowed feast. Aaahhh, spring come quickly.

There I go again not playing well with others. Thanks...

What movie is this............. Lacktu, Mirada, Nicto

Adoption......................................... There are promises for Israel (pre-Pentecost) in the future.....land being one of them. Promises in the future for the Body of Christ. The two not being the same. On another note, I can not imagine throwing out everything I collected while in twi or any other "church", "ministry" or "organization." That would mean I would have to throw out the loved ones I still have to this day. Brethren. Way ministry or not they are still my brethren. Can't do it. Even the ones who say our relationship was not real because it was based on twi. Still brethren though they disavow (oxymoron). I don't apologize but I did learn some stuff from twi. But that is personal to me. Still learn to this day from others. Gotta seperate the wheat from the chafe...I read and listen to this and that. Glean.....glean.....glean.....no one "ministry" or "organization" has the all and everything. Christ, Being the Head, is not limited. I am still learning that.

It was some years ago on the History Channel about the the German army under Hitler. One of the weaknesses (resulting in their ultimate down fall) was that the military commanders were not allowed to make crucial decisions on their own without orders from the higher ups.

Geisha....I, also truly hope so.

This is a very sad trick or treat year for us. Actually, it has been for us the last couple of years. The babies in the neighborhood have grown up together. We parents would get together and make a party of taking our children trick or treating together. Gosh, a mighty, that was fun. We had just as much fun as the children. In our neighborhood there are 12 children that are my sons age. They all went to the same pre-school, elementary school, junior high and now high school together. We parents have been very close since they were babies. Amazing, the children still prefer each others company, right here in our neighborhood. Now we don't have any babies to take trick or treating. We still have a party for them but it is not the same as when they were babies and they dressed up so cute and they were so little and sweet and innocent. Aaaahhh, our babies....

I can't get over the newspaper printed the word f..t.

Love, baby, love. There are laws.....because people do not walk in love. If people always walked in love then there would be no need for laws. There is police and military because people do not walk and live in love. That will NEVER change. Love, baby, love. Love, the most powerful force on the face of the earth.

Was told that Kenneth Widener passed away some years ago. He lived with my husband and I in S. C., then we all went to Greenville, N. C. together, then Charlotte. He and Joanne met in Charlotte and were married. I forget Joanne's maiden name. Kenneth worked for John Hendricks along with my husband, and Tom in the landscaping business and other ventures. It is my understanding (from some years ago) that Kenneth stayed on with John and helped him run his landscaping business in Charlotte and may have moved to Florida with him. I have googled his name in obituaries but can not come up with anything. Does anyone have any information?

Christ Jesus and I have the same Father. So, if we have the same Father then I can not be the wife. If I am................sicko!!!!!!!!!!! Think about it you guys.

Planetary Civilization.......Really? Do you realize the number of tribes just in Africa, alone, that would not adhere to this? Planetary Civilization will never happen. There are too many thinkers, fighters and lovers of freedom that would never succumb to that. Hhhmmm, someone telling me what is best for me, my children, grandchildren and "promising" to make that happen...what is that? Hitler comes to mind. Any others.?.?.? Why would we want everybody to be the same and have the same and believe the same? Are you really willing to hand that all over? For what? Then you would not be you anymore. You would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. I would never expect or want anyone or anything to make it better or figure it out for me. I am greater than that and I would think you are too.

Thomas Loy Bumga, back in those days there was no such thing as prosecution for that sort down here in the deep south. A man had the right to do whatever he wanted. I remember my mama calling the sheriff because my step-dad was shooting up the place. He was drunk. They arrived and said, laughing, "aaww, Bill what are you doing this time." They locked him up in the drunk tank that night and brought him back home the next day. There were no resources for women to turn to. And Rascal, I spoze we can discuss when my pea brain figgers out what I posted to appear I had opposing viewpoints.

I still have my Bible, Lexicon and Concordance. VP didn't write those. I still have Jesus Christ Our Passover. Even if he copied someone else's work I still find some on the info (like time lines) helpful. The blue book and the one about holy spirit have been gone for a long time. Now that I think about it I don't know if I really ever read those books. We were just suppose to have them. There is so much more. Like I say, we have to do what we (personally, individually) have to do to heal. You go Raf.

Rascal, honey, I am gonna make peace with you. Like I have said in many other posts it is nearly impossible to know or understand someone's tone, meaning, (or the person) if you are not talking to them face to face. Me thinks we are lost in translation.

Duh, exactly!!! How did the Lord handle being abused? Hhhhmmm, how did He handle stuff with Peter after He knew that Peter had denied Him? The Lord heard Peter deny Him and then their eyes met. Talk about feeling you are all alone in the world. What did the soldiers do to the Lord? They didn't tiptoe Him through the tulips. I think just a little itty bitty bit of abuse took place at their hands. What did He do? Therefore I stand by what I said. What did He do? Who and where was His healing? We think that we have been through anything that He didn't? Therefore.....what did He do to come out on top? Somes of ya read into my post what was not there. It is evident because you did not read what WAS there. My post was about healing. Surely to God you want that. Now, I am going to whirl some whips.....I know about growing up with spiritual, sexual abuse, baby. My step dad was a P^$C)*^$L preacher. Been there had that happen to me. That is why I SAID in my post that I would never make light of anyone's abuse. Try being in the third grade and your step-dad, the holy preacher man, attempting to have sex with you. That was only the beginning. I lived it for a long time. I left home the end of 11th grade. The sexual abuse ended after 8th grade. But he stepped up the physical abuse which I endured even before 3rd grade. Beatings, beatings, beatings...... my brother is dead because of his physical abuse. So, before you yap your keyboard to me about not understanding or being empathetic, or loving or caring..... There is healing, loved ones.

Pot lucks and gazillions of them Colon Cleanse (how appropriate the pro(re)gression) Way Homes Locking myself in the car because I refused (I pled the freedom of will act) to go door to door witnessing Making lots of money on the wow field playing in pool tournaments Being told that my earthly family was tripped out, therefore I would be out of fellowship and probably posessed if I associated with them. I really hurt my mother. That is my greatest regret.

Daggum, bro, you don't miss a beat.

You have read my previous posts on other threads about being a child of sexual abuse and how I feel about religion. I am not moved by any of vp's early religious associations. It is all religion. Spew, puke, vomit. The pot calling the kettle black. I am very well aquainted with a counselor/therapist who helps folks with this. Funny thing, she was literally born and raised in twi. I am closer to her mother (because we live in the same town) who was there from the beginning of twi. I post this with absolute love, caring and no judgement. I am very concerned about all the raging anger and hurt I read here. There are more dedicated folks than you may realize to help in the healing. WDJD.....What did Jesus do? Now talk about someone hurt, abused.....
