And then there are those who don't WANT to know the truth..
They are probably all over the United States but for sure I know they are in Memphis. They are no longer in TWI but they still run PFAL classes (on Beta no less) and twigs like it's 1979. I know because my wife goes to fellowship with these folks.
They are good people. Don't get me wrong about that. But they will not listen to any criticism of their "father in the Word" VPW nor accept that any of the doctrine is in error.
It would bother me but I have to realize.. you can get people to believe most anything so better for my wife to be going to twig than to have her hanging out with the Hare Krishnas. I'm counting my blessings so to speak.
I have tried to have conversations with them in the past, when all the stuff was coming down in the 80's as well as more recently, but unfortunately.....well, you know.
But you are right, they are wonderful people. That's why it's so tragic that they keep their blinders on .....

sounds like the offshoot i attend. i am slowly making my way out.
Re:"sounds like the offshoot i attend. i am slowly making my way out."
These folks are just as happy as clams and if they want to believe what they believe then fine with me. In fact they might be better off not wanting to delve any deeper into things. That's what I did and look at what it did to me.. made me a dang heretic! (G)

?Hello, this is Reverend Geer. What? I?m sorry... I don?t have time for this. I?m too busy putting this printing press back together. Good-bye!? (click!)
Thank you very much. I do feel there at least a couple of folks just like me. Oakspear, probably the most. And Ex is just too cool. (I've already pointed out that she reminds me of my big sis)
I'm so thankful I never let go of my friends or family. Turns out they love me whether or not I string my chairs for Thanksgiving dinner. :-)

Yeah, Sudo, I know of whom you speak.....
I have tried to have conversations with them in the past, when all the stuff was coming down in the 80's as well as more recently, but unfortunately.....well, you know.

Steve!
JustThinking, way to go!
You've got all the support that you need, right here!
There are probably gspotters in your area, or nearby.
There are all kinds of people available to talk to for emotional support should you need it.
There are all kinds of believers (yes, I said believers) that will pray for and with you should you need it.
Ya, mon, do it!

We can just keep putting the truth out there.
God will have to work in their hearts to make it stick.
Or, for you secular humanists,
we can facilitate the processing of information, but they
must WANT to change.

How dare you say the Doctor VPW plagiarized his works? NOT TRUE!!! He merely copied them in a Kinkos print shop...there is a difference!!!

well JT... after all, stringing the chairs at Thanksgiving is optional... however at Ho Ho it is mandatory...
... I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between...
