WHAT???? They refused to allow Way kids to visit the Holocaust Museum?????? WHAT!!!????

That's because he made a boo boo in PFAL and wouldn't correct it forever. It just never made any sense to me the way it was taught in PFAL. I got what he was trying to say but not how he said it.

HA HA

Sorry, guess I'm just old and cynical. It would still .... me off though, especially if we didn't have the money. Maybe if he used it to buy me a new car......

He probably used a credit card.

If I fart my dog comes up to smell my butt.

Wow, that was cool, brought back some memories. ex70's, last night I was crouched down getting stuff out of a kitchen cupboard and when I got up I groaned so much my husband asked me if I was ok.

If it were me, I'd be ....ed he spent $17,000 on an ad.

OOH I remember that thunderstorm! I thought it was the Devil who was ....ed that more great MOGs were getting ordained! ha

We have a two car garage, and dutifully park our two vehicles in it per the "rules" of the HOA, although I've noticed this is not always "enforced" in the neighborhood. Since we lived in an apt complex for 16 years and parked in a parking lot, we enjoy putting our cars in the garage. It's better for the cars and they're less liable to get ripped off. Picture above shows garage when we first moved in and was full of stuff. I finally got it all put away against the walls and now cars go inside.

Definition of "truth" from Dictionary.com: truth n. pl. truths (trthz, trths) Conformity to fact or actuality. A statement proven to be or accepted as true. Sincerity; integrity. Fedelity to an original or standard Reality; actuality. often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence. Seems to me the essence of what it true is something that remains to be true, otherwise, is it true? Truth by its very nature is never changing. Therefore "present truth" is nonsensical, and merely a ploy whereby others can be controlled by the knower of the "present truth" changing it at whim.

skyrider, your explanation makes sense, but if true, it just shows that God's Word is not the focus, but who's running what when. Wow what a shock. So in its own twisted TWI way it makes sense that it makes no sense.

"The Promised Land of the Prevailing Word: Building Biblical Understanding" Why is "The Promised Land of the Prevailing Word" even in there? Wouldn't "Building Biblical Understanding" be sufficient for a Biblical Research Ministry? It seems like they threw two themes together, thus creating confusion and ambiguity. When they do this Way-speak stuff, it just totally loses me.

Wow that sure is stupid sh1t. Why am I not surprised? Ha ha ha ha ha the guy came in the back and you didn't stand! Reminds me of the birthday party we threw for a branch leader and then got yelled at by branch leader's wife because it wasn't "respectful" enough. Then they "punished" us by cancelling all Sunday morning meetings. Natzis!!!!

This stuff sounds like gobledy gook to me. Same old TWI gobledy-gook.

We lived in an apartment complex for 16 years before we bought our house. 5 years in a one bedroom and 11 in a two bedroom. Same complex. We had neighbors upstairs when we were in the two bedroom who also had a daughter around my daughter's age. I became friends with the mom but it was such a roller coaster ride that I gave up on the friendship. One time her daughter and my daughter were in my daughter's bedroom and they ended up cutting each other's hair. To me it was just one of those things kids do but to this mother it was the end of the world. And she tried to put all the blame on my daughter. Well, we got past that one, but then on my daughter's 9th birthday, we had a sleep-over with 10 girls and neighbor's daughter wanted to sleep next to 'birthday girl" who was already booked up with two on each side, so we let neighbor's daughter sleep on the sofa, when all the rest were on the floor. Well, next day I was confronted by the mother as to WHY was her daughter on the couch???? We had a run-in, her on the stairs on her way up, and me in the doorway. Nevertheless, the Dad would still come down to sell us stuff from school and athletic fund raisers, and borrow white-out and scotch tape etc. When we moved out, the former friend came down and we had a moment of reconciliation. She expressed her sorrow at seeing us go. The manager of the apartment lived next door to the upstairs neighbors and she had expressed her displeasure at all the noise they made, slamming bathroom cupboards, etc. I told manager it didn't bother me much, I was used to hearing walking around, etc. Seemed to me the manager was trying to get me to agree with her so she could have justification to kick them out. I indirectly saved their butts. Ah, apartment living! In our present neighborhood, all is very quiet. We are on speaking terms with the next door neighbor and those behind us but we really have no relationship. The people across the street we never knew and now we don't know the current occupants. I think the house across the street is a rental. It looks like they are military and there on and off. I sometimes wish I had more friends in the neighborhood, though, but then again it seems to lead to complications.

Your welcome, Rottie. I'm simply honestly sharing my experience. It was almost like I joined a cult after being in another cult. Strangely enough, I had a dream during that time where TWI and Discovery Toys were all in it mixed up together. But at least I got toys out of it for my kid.

I really really hated the phrase "Move the Word." It felt like a leaden weight on my soul.

16. I actually had a rich uncle. 17. In the same year when I was in Mississippi, I was held up with a gun (for my purse) and almost strangled to death by some stranger, who then ran off when I rebuked him in the name of Jesus Christ. 18. I have an ancestor (on my Dad's side) who arrived in Rowley, Mass in 1648. Most of the people in this country with my maiden name are descendants of either him or his brother who also arrived then. 19. My parents met because their parents dragged them to an Amherst reunion that neither one of them wanted to go to. Then later my mother ran off to marry my father and my mother's mother tried to annul the marriage. I was born two years later and a reconciliation of sorts came about. 20. Our family used to go to a place we had in Canada every summer and to this day in my mind it is the loveliest place I've been. 21. I was "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" in a kindergarten play, and in 8th grade I was Cousin Hebe in HMS Pinafore and sang a solo that really belonged to the boswaine but the music teacher gave it to me. ("He IS an Englishman.....") I found it quite amusing to see the Simpson's episode where Side Show Bob kidnaps Bart and makes him sit through his whole rendition of HMS Pinafore and he sings him that song. 22. The happiest years of my life were when my daughter was little and I didn't work and was an at-home wife and mother. Even though we were in an apartment and didn't have much money. I was so happy to be a Mom. (AND I was newly out of TWI by then!) 23. When I was little I planted peach pits in the back yard and they grew into trees.

I got into selling Discovery Toys for three years in the early '90's when my daughter was little. You couldn't make any money unless you did a lot of parties (2 - 3 a wk) and recruited people. I hated making phone calls to ask people to hostess a party and I only recruited 2 people and they didn't do much. Several times a year, Discovery Toys came out with new "kits" with the new toys to sell at parties. They didn't "make" you buy them you still had to if you wanted to display the latest toys. When I did a party I lugged crates of my toys to my car, drove to a house I'd never been to before, lugged the toys into someone's living room, set them up, did my spiel, took orders, packed up the toys and lugged them back to my car, and back into my home. Then there was the paperwork afterward, tallying up the order for HQ, and sending it in. Then after depositing the checks and paying for the order, the 20% difference was mine. Ah, but if you had a certain number of RECRUITS under you, your commission was BIGGER, and you got a cut of their sales. So you had to recruit to succeed. In three years, I did not turn a profit. I always filed a Schedule C and took a loss. But I kept hearing from people over me how great it was and how money could be made and how you had freedom from a 9-5 job etc. The top person in the area pulled in a $10,000 check around Christmas time because she was at the TOP. Another thing was, after scheduling a party, about 50% of the hostesses would cancel. One time I did a party and this chick came so she could watch me as part of her training. She ended up stealing my booking for a party from that party! The only good thing is that my kid had lots of toys to play with from all the kits I bought. And she learned the word "discontinued" at the age of 3 because if the toy was discontinued it was HERS. After three years I threw in the towel. Never again.

I left in 1988. POP and all that was the beginning of my exit. Found Trancenet after we got Web TV for awhile. I posted here and there. It was a real free for all, but it was cathartic for me. Then I went to Waydale, but don't remember how I found it. From there I went to Greasespot after Waydale was over.
