Seth R on the Just the Facts thread in About the Way:
...I think it's totally stupid to continue to believe in TWI's brand of dogma saying the problem was just bad leadership, it's like saying if I only move to a different cabin on the Titanic it will be better.

You tell me what you think of Victor Paul Wierwille, and I'll tell you how far you have come in your cult recovery.
Uncle Hairy
Uncle Harry really said that?!?! But he was VPW's brother, right? And wasn't he the treasurer for TWI? I thought he was committed to them for life. Did I miss a history lesson?

No, this thread is primarily witticisms written by Members that other members found to be entertaining, meaningful, or otherwise in need of preserving so they were gathered here to be remembered. In this case I believe this was written by a poster named “Uncle Hairy” not “Harry” and Raf placed it here. It is a play on a well-known quote from back in TWIt’s big days.

If one is determined to only find the negative at the GSC, that's what one will find. It's not honest and lacks integrity, but this should come as no shock by now. It's really cute the way these splinters like to refer to the GSC and explain why they're not going to explain. Lots more people got deliverance here and got on with their lives than they've actually HELPED. Perhaps it's "deliverance envy".
How many groups suffer, in fact, from "deliverance envy"?
Waysider was responding to the idea that we should disregard the evil that vpw did, since to view that was to view a "failure" and to view him by some nebulous "new man" showed some sort of "success."
Waysider:
"Focus on his mobster ways and ties to the underworld and Al Capone was a failure.
Focus on the 2,200 people per day who were served by his soup kitchen and he was a success."

How bout this one: "Odd that VP would hear God telling him to shut up, but not to keep his pants zipped."......A quote from Jim ... Simply classic! I couldn't stop laughing!

After laughing out loud in the library and receiving a couple of dubious looks I decided to post this one here. Thanks Waysider

chockfull, on the "Cheapness" thread, page 4.
===========================================
"So you know Way ministry, you were right and you were wrong about Burn the Chaff.
You were right about the concept. It is nice to travel light. In modern times this concept has gained ground under a different name. Minimalism.
But you as usual were wrong about the execution of it.
That's because you, Way ministry, are The Chaff."
