"Good fun, good food, good fellowship, and GREAT Word!"
Is GREAT Word TWI's answer to Loy's HOT Bible?
Thanks Nathan for posting that YT vid.
I feel sorry for the people who committed a year (or however much time) to this latest iteration of the way ambassador outreach program. Old wine skins, as the bible says.
The question is - will they bring back the shower tent?
If you weren’t there picture a tent with hundreds of naked men or women all out in the open with no curtains showering off like cattle. I was a teenager and it was mortifying.
Let’s not forget the drugs and orgies in tent city and LCM ranting for hours under the big top.
Remember when the WOWs got cancelled for being “infested with homos”? Maybe they will bring back LCM to see if the new ambassadors pass his “homo sniff test.”
Any other Rock of Ages nostalgia? It’s fun to reminisce.
Their beliefs are too weird to attract any new people in large numbers so they turn to the good ol’ days and hope people will come back.
Ironically, I had made peace with the way and never thought about it until I got one of those post cards which brought me back into looking at this site and revisiting how screwed up it all was.

what a sad bunch of whack jobs.
The burgers were good. That's because Doc came up with the idea for McDonald's.
The showers were traumatizing for teenagers. Completely ridiculous.
Ah, no thanks. Actually I did quite enjoy the RoAs that I attended but I was working all the time so it was different from "field" people coming in. And setting up for RoA was often fun, too, a respite from the usual very boring and repetitive things that we endured in rez.
However...
There's a big Christian festival for two weeks every summer in my country. Churches from all over get invite people to attend (no pressure) and often camp in "church groups" though again no obligation. I find I can't bring myself to attend, no enthusiasm - in fact, a profound wariness of group celebration. of this type. So I suppose RoA and the forced fun that the general populace seemed to have has left its mark on me. Maybe I should make the effort and dispose of that bugbear.

I don't have the intestinal fortitude to watch this right now - and most likely ever. Any word on how The Young Adult Rock 2024 went?

No idea, but I suspect it was a tremendous demonstration of desperate clutching and clinging to beleef.

It's not so much cringe worthy as an attempt to invoke nostalgia by way of using VERY OLD way music.

They don't own that music. Just saying. That's a Takit record.

Is anyone likely to sue them for using it? Btw, it sounded more like Good Seed to me. I'm an old guy, I could be wrong.

Did they do "don't stop speaking"?
You wouldn't need to sue but a cease and desist would be fun.

Must have been when he wasn't busy inventing the hook shot.
