Let's see... the decade of prevailing started in 1990...
And it's 2007 now...
And that's... uh... 2000, plus 7 more years...
Well, you see, a decade is ten years NOW, but back in the old testament days, it was really a lot longer, so it's okay for us to celebrate the decade of prevailing for 20-25 years or so!!!
Seems a local church hired a new pastor and were eagerly looking forwrad to his sermon--come Sunday the pastor stands and preaches a firely sermon the brings tears to the eyes. the congregation suitably impressed praise him as they shake his hand while leaving the church.
THe next Sunday is eagerly anticipated and the pastor stands and delivers the EXACT SAME sermon as the previous Sunday. The congregation is a bit more subdued and slightly confused.
On the third Sunday the past again preachs the SAME SERMON. Now, becoming alarmed, the deacons send the most senior elder to speak with the pastor.
The elder gets right to the point "Pastor, we are concerned because you are preaching the same sermon over and over, what is the problem, here?"
To which the pastor replies, " I'm waiting for the congregation to apply what they've been taught before moving on to the next point."
Could it be that TWI is still trying to pervail and is thus stuck??

Like I said, the Decade of Prevailing II - Rosie's REVENGE!!
In the Hebrew a "decade" isn't ten years at all. It's really twenty. The significance of the number "10" is doubled - that means it is established. So what they are saying is that they are establishing their "Prevailing-ness" <_< ;)
And if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you!
TWI prevails over all others in the category of toilet cleaning and teeth flossing.
TWI prevails as the church with the highest percentage of window washers in its membership.
TWI prevails as spewing more profanity from the pulpit than any other denomination.
TWI prevails over its members with an iron fist, or sometimes with a wooden spoon, depending upon member's age.
Seriously, if it's the Word which they say is "prevailing", please show me where this is occurring. Even LCM, who invented all the Prevailing jargon, said the Word had been spread throughout the world (hence the closing of the WOW program), and that the present-day task was to confront the world with the Word. So ... um ... if the Word prevails, who needs to be confronted?
How about the "Decade of Decadence in the Poisoned Land of the Prevailing Pervert"?
If they change the title of the "Decade of Prevailing", they would have to change their signs and robotic conversation. They don't have the staff power for something this BIG. Nor do they have the ABS support.
As far as I'm concerned they can have the word 'prevail'. I'm tired of it. If they stick to prevail, then they won't wear out another word that I used to like.
I think the next decade will sadly be "TWI-the next generation".
Maybe they are just keeping the decade of prevailing untill they think they get it right. An affirmation perhaps.
Are they really still using it...or just the prevailing lingo?
This is not to be confused with Star Trek: The Next Generation(Rosie: Resistence is futile) and when did Chuck Woolery and Shandi from Lingo get mixed up with TWI?
As far as I'm concerned they can have the word 'prevail'. I'm tired of it. If they stick to prevail, then they won't wear out another word that I used to like.

Like... "Tremendous"?
or, maybe... "Abundant"?
Funny how some words that used to mean good things now just bring back yucky memories.

I am reminded of an old joke
Seems a local church hired a new pastor and were eagerly looking forwrad to his sermon--come Sunday the pastor stands and preaches a firely sermon the brings tears to the eyes. the congregation suitably impressed praise him as they shake his hand while leaving the church.
THe next Sunday is eagerly anticipated and the pastor stands and delivers the EXACT SAME sermon as the previous Sunday. The congregation is a bit more subdued and slightly confused.
On the third Sunday the past again preachs the SAME SERMON. Now, becoming alarmed, the deacons send the most senior elder to speak with the pastor.

Let me guess.. any similarity to Porky's II, Porky's revenge is purely coincidental.

What exactly are they prevailing over?
Here are the only things I could think of:
TWI prevails over all others in the category of toilet cleaning and teeth flossing.
TWI prevails as the church with the highest percentage of window washers in its membership.
TWI prevails as spewing more profanity from the pulpit than any other denomination.
TWI prevails over its members with an iron fist, or sometimes with a wooden spoon, depending upon member's age.
Seriously, if it's the Word which they say is "prevailing", please show me where this is occurring.

Actually it was Kenyon in his book Advanced Studies in Living that coined The Prevailing Word long before Wierwille or Martindale even were born.

I knew I heard other ministers in other outfits say this, or something like it. Now I know why. Thanks TLB.

They were so scared of Y2k - perhaps they decided to not change the calendar year....
Sooo - they are truly in the TWI-light Zone

They forgot their Y2K patch seven years ago...
Well, we probably shouldn't be too shocked about this. After all, they haven't introduced any new light in decades, so why have a new theme?
