Does TWI Provide a Retirement And Housing For Leaders?
Nathan_Jr replied to Stayed Too Long's topic in About The Way
Howard Allen, bless his heart, was dead wrong about this. Dead wrong. His error is not surprising, considering who his "teacher" was. Only David Goggins needs 3-4 hours of sleep. -
All these decades spent mastering a charlatan’s collaterals, yet not one ounce of effort to learn Greek! ”Virtue” is a peculiar choice by the KJV committee. (It’s not their only weird translation choice.) Literally, every other Bible version is more accurate than the KJV on this verse. Find out for yourself. Learn how to research. Learn how to learn. And the “virtue” didn’t go out of him like gas goes out of a car. He didn’t become depleted of a limited commodity in that moment. He felt it go out from him, he felt the movement and transfer of power, not the depletion of power.

A limited volume of shares are also traded on the New Knoxville Stock Exchange (NKSE). Maggie Muggins, Johnny Jumpup, Henry Boloko, and Snowball Pete are licensed traders. They can help you plan for your spiritual future. To clear the confusion, I'm telling you this today. I'm not telling you this yesterday, I'm not telling you this tomorrow. I realize this isn't obvious. That's why today I'm telling you that I'm telling you today. Math! So accurate!

How does one act like a loving psychiatrist for a person? What do you mean?

So, the clergy/leadership is expected to make a lifetime commitment to the corporation, but the corporation won’t make a lifetime commitment to the clergy/leadership? Sounds like leadership just isn’t beleeving big enough. But, Hey! God will cover. Where do I sign up? -
Well, I don't want you to spend more time here. I don't have any wants for you at all. You aren't helping me. You aren't ministering to me. And I won't pretend or make believe that you are. I won't pretend Santa Claus has a side hustle breeding Easter bunnies. I won't pretend four crucified is accurate. I won't pretend victor was a THE man of god. I won't pretend a lie is the truth. I have a vivid, healthy imagination, but I won't play these pretend games.

I think I made my position on this verse known in another thread. But I haven’t put forth an opinion either way on ADAN. I am only interested in what the text says. (It doesn’t always agree with itself. I’m ok with that.) victor’s asserted opinion was incorrect. Look at the immediate and remote contexts. Look at precedents of speech “habit patterns.” When does Jesus, or anyone, tell their audience on the day they are speaking that it is, in fact, that very same day that they are speaking? “This makes no sense,” Victor said anytime he needed to MAKE something FIT. But this time he corrupted the text by changing it wholesale. Hey! He had a private agenda to advance Ask yourself if victor’s whimsical claim was intellectually honest, or was it cutting off fingers to make the hand fit the glove. victor had his own private interpretive theology He had an organized religious opinion to protect. If a verse didn’t align with his imagination, he crossed it out, or else, he added punctuation. The added comma is just that, added. That’s my opinion on the text. I’m open to being wrong.

I’ve noticed. Do they base their beleeefs on Bible verses? Or are they just eating a lot of cookies? -

It seems Bickle thinks he can effectuate the beginning of the eschaton with prayer and song. God can’t do this himself? God needs an earthly minister to bring about the Divine Plan? God doesn’t have foreknowledge? God’s timeline is contingent upon the activities of the preacher man du jour. Maybe there is some scriptural basis for this. I don’t know. Hey! I didn’t write the book. I didn’t bake the cookies, either. -
“Street culture,” Really? Hmmm…ok. I think T-Bone included a definition of euphemism in a recent post. Chris, the subject of this Soft White Underbelly video, is a mentally ill homeless drug addict. A disproportionate number of homeless are mentally ill, and drug abuse often goes hand in hand with mental illness - a sinister irony that simultaneously provides a sensation of relief while exacerbating and advancing the disease. What I find remarkable about Chris is that he is so self aware. He knows the voices and delusions are symptoms/manifestations of his disease. He seems to so easily switch between the rational and irrational. He is articulate and honest about his disease, if in denial about how the drugs are making it all much, much worse - delusions all the way down. The Haldol is probably helping with his clarity. Much of Chris’ behavior in this video (legs and hands) are due to his methamphetamine use, which he readily admits he is high AF on at the moment of filming. Chris seems like a very sweet guy. Just very sick. No devil spirits to be found here.

Here ya go, Mike. This is what it looks like. Does this confirm your hunch?

If you have an in depth scatological awareness and perception, you will know exactly what that is. You have to call it by name before throwing it out. All of this is handled accurately with gloved hands in “the class.”

Well, it’s sarcasm, parody. It’s not my conclusion. It’s victor’s. And, demonstrably, Loy hasn’t gone beyond what victor taught. This idea of victor’s is absurd, and I have never agreed with it. It has been discussed elsewhere in the forum. Either you or Word Wolf pointed out that one must be WILLING to go beyond what one is taught. That’s right. If one is not willing, one can’t.

I sampled a few of his lectures -- so much quoting of victor paul wierwille, so many "Huh?" moments. It almost seems like he's making up this bullshonta off the cuff, as he's holding forth. But I know the bullshonta is meticulously invented, calculated. Well, it's established: you really can't go beyond what you are taught.

Yeah. I've been thinking about this for some time. Never has it been suggested to me after graduating from an academic institution or a professional training course or a course in leadership or the 5th grade that I should repeat that course study. That's why it's called graduation! The word grad is so misused with respect to PFAL. If one feels the need to thanklessly endure a 33 hour "holding forth" session dozens, even hundreds, of times, I submit that very repeating proves there is no graduation, because there is no real teaching, no real learning. If everyone misses so much the first time, the problem is not the "student." It's the "class." It's "the teacher." I am so grateful to have studied under some truly amazing teachers in my life, academically, professionally, and spiritually. Thinking about them now, I am humbly awestruck at their skill as teachers and leaders and mentors. The weak teachers are valuable, also. They show me how NOT to teach. They are the dark making obvious the light. They are the chaff to the wheat. I am grateful for the contrast they provide. victor paul wierwille is among the top two worst "teachers" I have ever encountered. And that "class" is among the top two worst I've ever thanklessly endured. victor and his sycophants can't even comprehend what it means to teach, to learn.
