LCM said "Staying Alive" was stolen from an earlier (minor) AOS production at a ROA. He said he was taking it back to make the larger production of AOS.

Oh but don't you know that yelling at someone shows how much you love them? After all, spiritual anger is reserved for those in leadership who only want to help those below them to see how Off the Word they are. Therefore, we should be thankful to be yelled at because we don't know for ourselves if we're walking with God or not. Thank you thank you for yelling at me. (sarcasm)

Don't confuse me with the truth.

Yay!! Love that series!

DTA is necessary for TWI because it so special as God's True Household that the Devil is after them more than anyone.

I don't remember the dog video. Either I was fortunate enough to miss it or I've repressed the memory.

It was either Don or George Jess that taught one Sunday evening in Kenyon Hall. 2/3 of the 6th and 8th Corps fell fast asleep. G Wrenn punished us all in the ensuing days by making us get up at 4:30 to exercise and then work our asses off and then run run run. Great way to deal with people who fell asleep - wear them out so they're even more tired.! Your comment about Don's teaching being boring brought that back to me. Help!!! I've been TRIGGERED!!! It seems so bizarre to me now that I was ever in such a thing.

That would bring on more people.

OK, watched another episode last night. Saw so many parallels: L Ron Hubbard = VPW (both creepy old guys) David Miscavige (the successor) = LCM (the successor) Sea Org = Way Corps Clear the Planet = Word Over the World "We are Special, the only ones who can save the world." = "We alone know the true rightly divided word." Billion Year Contract = Way Corps unbreakable lifetime commitment (doulos/dog soldier) Declared / Disconnected = Mark and Avoid Being responsible for what happens to you = Believing equals receiving, Spiritual Responsibility for others, What you fear will happen Suppressive act = Being negative, not being likeminded, being out of fellowship, not "blessing" others Psychiatric help is forbidden = no need for psychiatric treatment since it's your fault for not renewing your mind

And now there it is. Hardly anybody in it for SNS.

They did encourage car washes etc to pay for the Auditorium though. We were encouraged to pay towards that over and above ABS.

I remember seeing an ad in the Way Mag saying "Remember The Way in Your Will". Even then in my Waybrain I was shocked.

A TV show The Soup showed that and made fun of it.

I agree. Someone contacted me recently to "have dinner" who is head of a local spin-off. From what I've seen online, they are TWI-lite. NO WAY!!!1 They even meet at the same place we used to have branch meetings. Last thing I want is ACTIVITY.

I remember VPW talking about Gunnison being a place for celebrities to hang out and how he was going to have a restaurant built that went over the water where you could see the river through a glass floor. Really I recall he said that.

You think it's just a class, but then we'll own your a$$.

that lyric made me feel a little sick

Or like going into residence all over again.

There are no strangers in The Way. Unless you don't do what we say.

When I was in residence, some guys rounded off the corners of their nametags! Oh horrors. They were reproved of course.

5 grads is hard to believe. More like 0.

Ah but they are important. I checked out their Facebook pages out of morbid curiosity. Postings of the wonderful life they are living, successful careers, without merely a thought to any of the damage they have done to so many of God's people. I finally got over my interlude with them.

I wasn't able to make a copy of my research paper because I didn't have money to use the copier. Skinflints - can't even use the copier without paying.

We were to Burn the Chaff - get rid of any identity regarding our families, our interests, talents, individuality. Yet, the Wierwilles were all about Weirwille Weirwille.

One of the life lines was "Life in the Fast Lane". Hmmmm really original, where have we heard that. Maybe they figured since we didn't listen to that evil natural music we wouldn't know.
