If you left us because of any differences in doctrine or practice- now is the time to come back home! As a research ministry we're always finding new ways to encourage group think.
i find your post of the original promo video for piffle to be so inspiring! Go Brown 75! I wonder if the townies have sued for destruction of air quality emanating from that damn farm? It's year-round and really fragrant, if ya catch my drift! You're doin' a heckuva job Rosie!

I’m glad I came back. I really feel like I’m part of a big household now and never want to leave again. It's like being under house arrest, only better !

So imagine a TV ad for TWI with scratchy looking video of wierwille saying “I’m not a real doctor but I played one at The Way International.”
I thought TWI could use a little truth in advertising…maybe it wouldn’t help their credibility that much but just think of the huge boost to their comedic value!
I asked for abundance but all I ever saw was a flaky pastry doing a pirouette - musta been Craig...guess they thought I said a-bun-dance...hmmm...should be plural - “buns” - that’s only if he turns the other cheek.
They can't legitimately say this anymore. They shut down the research department.
Oh, they still say it though. They just have their own definition of research where they hVe followers reread their publications, which of course are proven ministry research and thus above reproach

Legitimacy was never a primary concern of the Way.
They just redefine things according to their own terms and thinking and move ahead.
To achieve Way enlightenment, the follower will put aside all other reading materials and focus solely on the plagiarized works of VP Wierwille. After 3 months, they won't know themself. Why? Because stage 1 of the brainwashing process has been completed.

From very early on I didn't buy into the thought that if you weren't studying the bible with the Way, then you don't know anything. I actually had an argument with my fellowship coordinator about this, because I had already learned so much that she couldn't even answer many of my questions - they were far from basic.
So, all along, I have read and listened to other ministers. I even had a great conversation with a minister while I was on the Way Disciple program. He had some tremendous insight.
But, yes, I had seen what you mention, and for me it just didn't make sense to completely disregard other teachers. After all, didn't VPW learn from others?

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

Yes, I remember something vaguely like that. And "Ephesians - the breakfast of champions." Or some such. But --- want some kool-aid with that? How about: "PFAL - the sedative for all yo

Thinking about that old TV trope I'm not a real doctor but I play one on TV I began wondering if that could work for TWI.

You just reminded me of another phrase - research means re-search.
So, yes, they will have others re-search all the collaterals and call that research. Thanks for the reminder.
