TWI is doing some "jewelry" work showing VPW in certain contexts, for example in the ROA 25 videos VPW is not shown much, but they did recently release a book called "Faithful Bridge - Builders of the Way."

Thanks My Friend!! I really appreciate it. I will listen attentively

Thanks Charity! Yes, I would like to know and live those aspects of the Bible. Power to help people with God's Word (not VPW nor twi's).

Thanks to Both! I adhere wholeheartedly about VPW's lack of practical understanding - And that He plagiarized Leonard's OG as well as Stiles, Kenyon, Bullinger and so on. (There's a big amount of evidence) I wanna go beyond what He taught for sure, I would really like to learn, even if that changes the "insight" I acquired at TWI. It's easy to impress anyone Speaking in Tongues or with "Word of Prophecy".... but it is pretty different with Miracles, Word of Wisdom,etc. If there's any other Author you know, I would be grateful to know too :)

Well, I traveled to ADV Class 2020 - 2023 and Donna M. taught parts of the book (Dorothy's) during breaks after class, including how to eat an orange with a knife and whether or not to rest your arms on the table. I realized that many believers, especially Africans, were unfamiliar with certain american/latin/occidental manners. But culture is like that, we are all different.

I still have that book at home. Some "HQ guys" said off the record that it was meant to "level" or "standardize" the customs/habits/patterns of believers from different countries to the "standard" of God's Word - God's Love in the "Renewed mind in manifestation".

Is there any expert/book about this? Would you recommend me or guide for that matter? I've read all TWI books and Classes and also CES,STFI books but I still feel ignorant about that topic

Well, first of all they announced PFALT as a modern-refreshed version of PFAL that helps people to understand the bible. Publicly they will say that is a Bible-based course "only". In private circles, or when they need to "correct" or " reproof" someone, they use the Class's syllabus and the coordinator's "guide" as if they were the Bible itself

TWI does not promote the "1942-promise" anymore at least publicly. In the inner circles they still promote the idea of a directly proportional relationship between how close you were to VPW and how great you are. They did recently a "leader-profile" in the Way Magazine about Vern Edwards and they mentioned how close he was with Dorothea.

Thanks Folks! And Keep it up! It's kinda funny cause I've been witnessing your posts and discussions since 2009 and now we are chatting. I even witnessed the Mike-Wars xD I'm thankful to all of you and especially Penworks for having the guts to write down all her experiences.

Freedom, a new life, a new perspective about God and the Bible An opportunity to love all people, to serve from something as basic as a warm greeting in the morning to saying thank you and please, not being a false servant in a group only to become a leader. A wonderful chance to get closer to my family, that family from which I distanced myself because they did not participate in the ministry.

TWI has changed a little bit during the recent years. But their change its only towards recover the "good old days" of VPW and PRE-LCM. VPW is still the main figure and the functioning of the organization and psychological abuse towards people persists. They're not willing to apologize to people; they only ask them to forgive and move forward "in love" . It's sad, but they demand greater maturity from the "average" believer than they do from the leader. Forgiving someone does not immediately mean restoring the relationship or psychological healing.

Thanks For the Letters Charlene, I'm new in the Forum though I lurked for years. And I left the Way 2 years ago.
