Hello everyone icon_smile.gif:)-->

I am pleased at the oppurtunity to introduce myself. My name is myra and I found this forum about a year ago. I became curious about the ministry I left over ten years ago. I happened across GS and was astonished at TWI's detrioration. I was never moved to contact anyone over the years, as I'm sure the people that knew me were convinced that I was lured by some sort of evil.

I just sort of faded away in a town with only two other believers.

When I was first invited to twig, I never had any reservations. My coworker and I used to hang out after work. She told me about fellowship the next morning and I went.

I had never before felt suc warmth and acceptance among the people present. There was someone else from work at twig as well. This man would be my teacher and mentor after my friend Becky went wow that same summer. This was the summer of '89 here in DC.

I signed up for pfal and was on fire with the truth of God's Word. It wasn't long before I went wow myself. Anyone reading this would agree that your wow year is the best and worse year of your life! Only 7 of uss remained in the end. We were sent to Norfolk and it wasn't long before I saw the holes in the doctrines of the ministry I was supposed to represent. That year I was talked out of leaving at least three different times. I remember the wow coordinator at hq ridicule me, saying why she didn't understand why I wanted to leave so badly.

Anyway I got through it and stuck around Va for another two months.I told everyone that I wanted to finish college so I moved away to WVa.

Pretty slick move icon_wink.gif;)-->

Just three days ago, I woke up wondering where Jerome was. He took me under his wing and guided me along my new spiritual journey. This man enbodied everything that was good about TWI.

I just dicovered that he died in March of 1996, which deeply saddens me. When I left, I dind't contact him because I didn't want him to tell me how I was being "tricked" by the devil lik eI had been told so many times before.

Just knowing that GS exists is a tremondous comfort to me. Without it, there would be few people that would understand what I felt then, and how I feel now.

If anyone knew Jerome R., I would love to know how his last days were spent. He taught me how to love people and how to stand on the truth of what you've made your own.

I thank you..

If it ain't broke,don't fix it!
