They would be treated to Bluegrass music, then me saying (basically) "talk at you later" -->
Don't believe I would call them back, unless it was an 800 number, and their dime.
Even then I would delete the call. Their 800 number (if such a thing exists -- TWI PAYING FOR ANYTHING????!!!) is most likely a 900 number in disguise. And I don't do porno calls -- not physical OR spiritual.
first I'd have to ask, wheres the camera, this must be candid camera right?
after the shock was over, I'd say thank you for calling and I forgave you a long time ago, but I won't forget and you won't see me at any SNS anytime soon.
To me, the ministry was the people, not the "leadership" so I would say the same as pappajohn that I've forgiven all of them a long time ago and hope they've forgiven me.
Then I'd ask, "Would you like to meet Jesus?" He'd like to meet you, I feel sure....

I would actually have a question for them IF THEY called ME. I never did figure out just what threat I was to them. I was just one little ol' single mom with a young teenage son that wanted to serve God and love His people. I never understood why they really M&A'd me.
The reason they gave at the time was that my son and I were 'homos," but we all know that's not the case.
I'm probably better off not knowing, but when I get to wondering things, that's what I wonder...
I received a phone call from a Trustee in the aftermath of the Allen lawsuit and Martindale's resignation. I was lied to then, why would I expect the truth now?

I do not not know about your"number one" title. I do not think they even look at it as a heirarchy but I have had leaders call me. or I go to get together.
we talk I love them Im glad to hear from them . then we speak about some friends that live near me and near them and then the why do we not still all get otgether happens and well the communication ends. because I just do not have the energy to compromise my love for any person.
I do not hate people in twi far from it they are my brothers and sisters in Christ they are part of the family of God they Love Jesus as Lord. I feel more in common with the bible verses than a neighbor that doesnt believe the bible is truth.
i am not full of hate towards anyone I do need feel a need to fix them, or save them unless they want me to do something to help them I love them as much as i know they love me. It is difficult , because of the people that have been hurt including me, but we are honest and we do NOT point fingers and blame one another for what people do . I will always love them before I condem anyone esp since it was such a important part of my life for many years and I do not allow love to die.
yeah, dovey I want my biography back too!!!! Don't remember what I wrote in there. But I want it back!!!!!!!!!!
I think if they called me I would say thanks but no thanks...don't really know though because I have never had nor ever will have a phone call from them.
I know my life has changed so much and I'm much different than I was in twi that I think I would never be able to be lured back in no matter what they said.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you can not tell it about other people.
You may be surprized ya know they do want everyone to come back becuase the folks in now think it is better . they blame times gone past as a completely differnt thing or time they learned and cleaned the house hold. it is perfect now ya know .
but I do believe the root causes are still there and I get sad listening to them sometimes.
Still pompous still thinking they know what is best for god and the lowly ones who are not aware of how special the way is.

one of several things:
1)first i'd laugh, probably somthing like a madman.
if they didn't hangup on me then:
2)"get thee behind me satan"
if they were still there:
I'd tell them to write every single believer and clergy they had wronged admiting their wrongs to them and making amends wherever possible.
then i'd hang up.

What if the Way called me on the phone?(!)
Uh, boy that'd be rich. But I think they'd hang up on me before too long. It'd be fun while it lasted though...

mj that is the reason I could never go back...I don't believe that they are all truth. Also, the roots are dead, how could they ever be a good group?
Yeah they might look good to lure a person in. How sad, isn't it?

I would tell them that I have moved on with my life and perhaps they should consider the possibility of getting a life.
