Grace Valerie Claire

T-Bone, no problem honey!!

NL, thanks for a great post! I think forgiving others is extremely hard for me to do. I was angry at some of the men in my family for abusing me years ago. However, I am receiving Professional help for my anger, and I am much less angry than I used to me. Sometimes you can get rid of the anger on your own, but sometimes some of us need to have Professional Help to rid ourselves of the anger; whatever works for the individual.

Twinky, I think you said in a few sentences the purpose of the GSC. "...to warn against those that teach wrongly, that hurt others, that mock the grace of God.". I think the TWI teaches wrongly, hurts others, and mocks God's Grace.

Chock, or calling them "possessed." What Hog Wash!

Wow! Big deal!

Wow!! I really am glad I never went Corps. I can't believe that people actually paid to go into the Corps, and were treated like dirt. It seems to me, that people who wanted to learn how to serve God, were special beings; and should have been treated as such. I do know one thing; that VPW was not the man to have planned the Way Corps training. He didn't know one damn thing about the military; he skipped serving in WW11. The Corps could have been a great program, if it had been planned by people who knew what they were doing. Instead, it was planned and carried out by scum like VBW. I think about the 3500 people who graduated from the Corps, and think what a difference they could have made in the world, with their love of God, and a burning desire to serve Him.

T-Bone, a lot of things in the military didn't make sense to me; sometimes the rules can be very petty. I have never been in the Corps, but a lot of people here at the GSC were. Sometimes I think members of the Corps didn't get enough sleep, or food. And the idea that once people graduated from the Corps, they were at the beck, and call of TWI I thought was Hog Wash!!!! I am in longer in the Navy; I did my time and have two Honorable Discharges to prove it. I remember when the Rock was held in August; the Corps was expected to drop everything, and go to Ohio to work for free, for two weeks. I couldn't believe it!! I know that many people were told not to give their children medications; I would have given the kid(s) the medications, and to Hell with what TWI thought. God, I don't see how anyone could have put up with the BS in the Corps. I would never had made it through.

Way, that is true!!

WW, thanks!! What a lot of garbage; Lincoln freed the slaves! And people wondered why I didn't go Corps. I think if I had gone Corps, I would have been kicked- out. I think my time in the Navy was hard, and full of dreck. I think people in the Corps were treated worse than I was in the Navy.

JT, good question!

Way, what a colorful expression: a hot pile of monkey dung!! You rock honey!

BA, gee the fact that he was an alcoholic, smoked to excess, and didn't exercise, had nothing to do with his death, did it??!!

Death, and taxes are the only sure things in life.

WG, I think you are right; I don't think God likes crap being taught in His name. In the Navy, we used to say, " S--t happens." Sometimes you get sick, because of stress, the environment, the weather, ect. Sometimes it may be your fault that you get sick, sometimes it isn't. Ask any Medical Professional.

Chock, thank God for that!

Way, sounds like a lot of horses--t to me. Sometimes I think there was a serve lack of Common Sense in Way World. If I need medical help, or other types of help, I get them. God loves me, and expects me to use my brain; that's why He gave me one.

Out, lice!!! I think if that had happened to me, I would have left the Corps immediately!!

Sky, what garbage! I heard VPW teach live, and on tape. He was boring!! I have heard Chris's teaching tapes; they are also boring! No wonder why so many people who post here, have such low opinions of Chris.

Ex, if I was helping someone do something, and he started screaming at me, I would tell him to F-off! If I had been Barbara, I would have walked away from the situation. And then I would have uploaded on my husband, what he should of done for me in that situation. Boy, it ticks me off that VPW screamed at someone who was trying to help; and makes me livid that CG didn't stand up for his wife. What a coward he was!!

Sky, I have never met Chris, or his wife Barbara. But, it sounds creepy to me that they were slaves to VPW, and his wife. I'm sure Mental Health Specialists have a term for people like Chris, and his wife. I think they were both a little off, but that is just my opinion.

Ex, are you sure about that?? I love reading your posts; they make me think. I'm sure a lot of others here at the GSC feel the same way I do.

Or King!!

NL, you are so right about the Green Card; if I had known 40 years ago what TWI was really like; I would never have gotten involved with it. I really enjoy the GSC, because it makes me think. Some of the posts make me laugh, and some of them make me cry. But all of the posts make me think about my time in TWI.

Twinky, you are right that God is interested in what goes on inside of us; our hearts. But TWI was interested in our money; the more money you had, the more interested they were in you. I noticed that people who had money were treated much better than those who lacked it.

BA, you are so right. If you were young, and were serious about starting a career, leadership looked down on you. I know when I was in college, I worked two jobs, to pay for my education. I didn't have a lot of free time, to witness, or do Ministry things. My Branch Leader treated me like dirt; but I got my degree. To Hell with him!
