Concerning the failure of the 1942 promise.

TWI does not promote the "1942-promise" anymore at least publicly. In the inner circles they still promote the idea of a directly proportional relationship between how close you were to VPW and how great you are. They did recently a "leader-profile" in the Way Magazine about Vern Edwards and they mentioned how close he was with Dorothea. 

Thanks, Joe.

This is so interesting. One day there will be no living direct connection to vpw. Someone will have been taught directly from Vern, who was taught directly from vpw... the apostolic succession. But won't this be the same "tradition" of "religion" they are always defecating on? 

Do they believe PFAL is the Word of God? Do they believe PFAL is theopneustos, as Mike does? Either by implication or direct teaching?

Great question(s).

Well, first of all they announced PFALT as a modern-refreshed version of PFAL that helps people to understand the bible. Publicly they will say that is a Bible-based course "only". In private circles, or when they need to "correct" or " reproof" someone, they use the Class's syllabus and the coordinator's "guide" as if they were the Bible itself

I remember, back in the day, there was a twig leaders' syllabus that outlined acceptable behavior at large events, such as limb meetings, branch meetings and so forth. One of the admonitions listed was to  "refrain from picking your own seat." My question is this: Are there currently any circumstances under which it's acceptable to pick your seat? Whose seat should you pick instead?

 

(Yes, thank you, I've been told I'm a twisted individual.)

There has been so much darkness in the world lately. So much anxiety and uncertainty. So much bullshonta.

But one thing endures, Waysider - the light in your posts.
