Holy CRAP! He even has pdf files of various TWI publications. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten cease and desist orders from the home office in New Knoxville yet.

Sad that you don't even get it when it's set so plainly in front of you.

That appears to be either disingenuous or (again) lacking self-awareness. #sad

Who do you suppose was responsible for that? Of course, "not" the guy who put his name on other people's work.

No, I'm only asking for you to demonstrate that what you post here accompanies good fruit. So far, you haven't done so.

Indeed

I also was able to take emergency leave from Lajes Field, Azores when my sister was sick.... 1975.

A friend posted these comments on FB today. Not necessarily about JE Stiles' book, but these comments DO go to the essence of issues raised by rrobs' comments. It seems obvious that the message rrobs has been setting forth is that he's right and we're wrong because we don't necessarily hold to his (pro word) interpretation of what he learned from PFLAP and Wierwille. I'm not sure who Don Petros is or might be, but it's clear that there are a LOT of words that have been posted to GSC over the last 17 years demonstrating that what TWI has been missing all along is a sense of morality. Wierwille's "calling" was that he was right and everyone who disagrees is wrong. But his "rightness" definitely didn't consistently translate into morality or compassion.

Where's your fruit? Didn't Jesus say something about being able to tell them by their fruits?

As to lack of self-awareness, that you avoided the salient question in my comment lends credence to that reality. "Did you learn your "pro word" theology from anyone other than veepee?"

What does it really mean to be "pro word?" Did you learn your "pro word" theology from anyone other than veepee? Your use of the expression "pro word" seems to demonstrate a lack of self-awareness.

J Fred was a dear friend. We shared a house in Mesa, AZ for a year (1985-1986) right after his wow year and immediately after he separated from Ellie. Eventually he remarried a sweet lady named Marilyn. The lived in the Phoenix area for a few years then moved to Michigan where Marilyn was from. He was also a heavy smoker who contracted throat cancer. I was sad when I learned he had passed.

He passed away several years ago.

Well, it isn't necessarily good for using as a hammer to beat people up and telling them they are wrong...

Whose word? Even if you were to approach a standard that might be considered speaking God's Word, how would anyone know that's what you're doing? Wherefore by their fruits...? Where's your fruit? [disclaimer: I don't claim to be speaking for God.]

Not my place to disclose DWBH's identity. How can I say you're not speaking for God? That's easy. Your proclamations run counter to the bible. You can't know what's in someone's heart. Where do I get my information? Sunesis... (not the person who used that handle here). and common sense. "... I really don't understand where you are coming from." Clearly.

Even Satan can recite scriptures, no?

Perhaps a valid longing. But how will you "know" if you find some? How do you know that it always blesses the hearer?

There. You revealed the essence of what's going on with you. You declared that you speak for God. But that's just not true. You don't know what's in DWBH's heart.

Two possible (likely) factors: 1) you don't seem to have grasped the essence of your audience; 2) you aren't clearly communicating your message. I get your frustration. Online message forums are very limited in their ability to communicate nuances that often are a part of nonverbal communication.

Just mistaken.

So, now if you speak it or write it, it's God speaking? Hubris much?
