Where's the greeen bumper sticker?

How did you know it was 18 inches? Did you measure it?

If TWI actually had any love of God in them, they would encourage people to live in abundance, not scrape by and give whatever they had left to TWI.

I'm bipolar. Have been stable and on meds for years. In 1974 I went WOW and went into a psychotic episode. B@rb L@lly (then Gr@y) put me on a bus. I got off in Oklahoma City and ended up in jail. (long story) Some one who worked at the jail called my dad and he flew there & got me out. By the grace of God, I lived through it all. That's what they did to people.

T0m and B@rbara L@lly made my life miserable too. It took years to get over it

We were in that upstairs room over the dining room at Emporia, at the start of a meeting, LCM started yelling and acreaming at some corps who WALKED IN FRONT OF THE STAGE before the meeting started.

skyrider, You saw things a lot more clearly than I ever did. All I knew was that I was more and more miserable and then I was happy when I left.

This is dumbfounding. No wonder TWI is a mere shadow of its former self. Looks like THEY are the greasespots. TWI deserves what it gets.

They don't even have good music.

That must be why I ended up in Mississippi living in a trailor.

Like it never rains in August in Ohio?

EVERYTHING in that verse is the OPPOSITE of TWI. Geeze, don't they read the Bible? How about the verse that says leaders are supposed to be EXAMPLES and not OVERLOARDS? I guess they didn't read that one either!

I found RELIEF!!! Really, that's the MAIN feeling I had after leaving.

One time VP told the Corps, "If you live to be 50 you will be very fortunate." I'm now 62.

Okie said "Staying Alive" starring John Travolta was a rip-off of Athletes of the Spirit. When training for AOL, Okie used Travolta's book on how to get fit and toned. I think it was Sylvester Stallone that trained Travolta and that was what the book was about.

"And I don't want to see her not showing up because of that damn baby!" Spoken by branch leader's wife in Mississippi circa 1981. (obviously with no child of her own)

Last I heard it was around 3,000. Including children. I don't know how accurate that is. I do know that TWI is a mere shadow of what it once was.

Now that I think about it, why did we have to rope people in and do all we could to keep them in TWI? If it really was done with the love of God, we'd get them into PFAL and then leave them alone. Let them go to twig, don't go to twig, whatever.

Mine is pretty self-explanatory. I'm out of TWI and about with my "real" life.

There was a guy named Baba Ram Dass who wrote a book, "Be Here Now."

I saw it in your profile. I'll try that after I find the letter again.

Hi, Pawtucket Sorry I took so long. What's your email address?

Donnie Fugit was a wonderful man. If that's true, he certainly didn't deserve it.

Del Duncan is mentioned in "The Cult That Snapped" by Karl Kahler. He found him and interviewed him.

Taking PFAL over and over again was so much fun.
