No Christmas! Happy household holiday. Happy HoHo....Corpse went on Ho Ho relo......Had to buy cards that were appropriate or cross out words and correct them.

In elementary school and pre-way....

Yikes! An app!!! And faithful followers leaving perfect fives on their reviews.....

Talking to my brother a few weeks ago, he mentioned he and my dad being very worried about me and thinking it so eerily quiet and weird that they didn't see or hear any birds while my family visited me one summer at HQ. Did twi actively kill or chase away the birds?

I remember celebrating Reformation Sunday. Also, at my Advanced class we watched an old Martin Luther movie. Years later, this same movie was shown in our fellowships.

Thank you!

Don't you love all those Reverends on the R&R page? Leave the group that ordained them and keep the title?

Yes, maybe! But I wasn't and kept on going. Took over a decade to finally make my exit!!!

We saw the "or else" in action during my time in the corpse. People kicked out for poor performance during LEAD and all types of other craziness.

Here too! Just need to get used to popping into this area.....

congrats! Downloaded it, will take it for a spin....

Here!!

Donated.

Just saw this thread! I guess i don't meander around in this section often. I pop in and check the about the way. It's late here and I am crashing for the night. Paw thanks for everything. This site has helped me so much! I was smurfette, then pengu in. I never would have made it out without everyone's help here. I will donate something tomorrow since the button is still up....

Just a thought. Anyone who has been in twi for any length of time is so programmed that they need to ABS that no one would really need to solicit donations, they would automatically give.

Hey Tom! Dave is doing great and no longer with the Way. I have lost track of Dominic. Melissa is still involved as far as I know. I believe you are referring to Brian, who unfortunately succumbed to cancer a couple of years ago.

Yes, after decades of being in the Way, it was so important that we finally realized God is at work outside of "the ministry" and was much bigger than and cannot be contained in the little box the Way put Him in. You would think it was obvious, but it actually was a conclusion we had to come to before we could even consider leaving.

Well, In the days Twinky mentioned, especially around 93 and 94, many in rez corps were kicked out for having homosexual fantasies-men and women alike.they would get the bum's rush and disappear while everyone else was doing different things...

Thanks. Been doing what dr. Says. Just was such a rare one no one seems to know a lot about it. I have been in remission for a year and a half. Praying i still am and for wisdom for us and Dr if not....

Thanks, definitely some great words of wisdom. I appreciate all everyone here has done to help me get free of most of my way brain.

First, I don't know where this should belong... Here's my issue, the Way and the law of believing... I have been gone from twi more than ten years and landed in churches that have veins of Word/faith beliefs. I am struggling with my health and trying to figure out how to have trust and stay hopeful for healing in regards to cancer. I have been in remission/follow up for a bit but now have some abnormal results that require additional testing. Basically been diagnosed with ptsd due to the trauma from previous diagnosis and treatment. Any help trying unravel the pressure i put on myself to be the shunamite woman and pretend like everything is and will be okay? It's not working. Trying not to embrace fear and anxiety, but I melted down last night. There's threads of a belief that a good mom wouldn't die on her kids....Let's just say I was told by magn***lies that I wouldn't be a good mom or wife....so part of me is trying to avoid being a failure since I was dropped from active corps over twenty years ago and I guess I believed them that I had failed at that. also really don't want twi to think they are right about people getting sick if they leave. Still have family that are in...

I don't remember turning pages for anyone except my self ... But I remember the inane thing we got reamed for first day in corpse. Loy yelled because we carried tables wrong and more yelling from corpse coordinator for not have every single thing labeled with our names. I had to write my name on every ball point pen. Found one about a year ago in my stuff that still had my name on it.

Interesting they decided to go with Paul, but wasn't his stuff in His past before his conversion/born again/met Jesus experience?

I know of a corpse person who assigned study of the blue book as marriage counselling for a couple who were really struggling. Yep, not any books or teachings on relationships or marriage, only the blue book.

I never served at any of the top levels of the Way, but I did graduate from the corpse. I did hold some leadership positions. When I finally left twi, I told God I didn't want to lead again because I was that torn up about having misled people either into the lies or deeper into the lies and slavery of twi. I spent several years after I left reevaluating ALL of my beliefs. I think anyone who leaves needs time to decompress and reevaluate. I wouldn't even read KJV because of the ruts in my brain that led to twi beliefs. I'm still in process.
