I agree, Catcup ... and if you notice, a lot of that nonsense originated in the Way's wrong dividing of Romans 13 about the higher powers. They ignored all the references in that section to civil government and used the example of not being able to follow Hitler as the reason that it could not mean civil governments. But if a person honestly looks at that section of scripture with Way Brain set aside, it is easy to see that it does indeed refer to civil governments, including police departments and others that "bear not the sword [in that time period] in vain."
So much of the JUNK that Way leaders operated, and still operate under, comes from the wrong dividing of Romans 13 and applying to spiritual leaders ...
If you're still in the Way, you owe it to yourself and to God to get out and have a life outside the Nine Dots of Nonsense.
Questions from the very beginning in TWI are not allowed. Well, lets say, certain questions. You will know what is allowed and not allowed by the response you get in asking. If questions are likely to contradict established teaching, or delve into matters TWI doesn't want to discuss, they are deferred to leadership or answered with another question to deflect attention away from glaring errors or contradictions. Persistence along this vein will get you the bum's rush or worse.
Ha! I had many questions in the beginning -- and I was told to take the class, and all questions would be answered there. Later on -- when I had further questions -- I was told to take *XYZ* seminar, and those seminars would answer my questions.
Seems like no one on the field knew any answers. Every question I had was relegated back to hdqtrs, so as to get the official *party doctrine*, and no "screw ups" by those poor souls out there in the real world -- dealing with the likes of us. :D-->
