Paw -

On EZBoard, I could set the number of posts that I wanted per page. I looked in "My Pop" and don't see that anywhere.

Also, the tabs on My Pop are hard to read unless you highlight them with your mouse. I actually thought they were inactive tabs until I happened to click on one.

Hope R.

Hmmm - my signature didn't work here like it did on the other forum....

The terminology used by those who have rejected the clear Biblical Doctrine of the "Locked Box." (See also Biblical Research) 3). A good example of the language used by those who allow Devil

Spirits in their life.

Administration - A method of dividing the Bible into the parts that count and those that are inconvenient for the renewal of the mind.

Jesus Christ - 1) a shadowy individual who lived in a previous administration whose words can be largely ignored because they only applied to the administration in which he lived. 2) an individual who in traditional Christianity plays an exaggerated role. 3) Not God

Man of God - 1) and individual who also is not God, but is the next best thing 2) only one Man of God is allowed at a time 3) Not the pope 4) Way more important than the pope.

Positive Believing: The ability to willfully harbor positive beliefs and memories about VPW and TWI. Talented believers are able to Positive Believe, in spite of the Great Lunging Oceans of shocking and irrefutable proof of horrifying and sadistic human carnage, suffering and wreckage caused by this gifted con artist and his cult.

Analogous with "Renewing Your Mind:" One "Renews Your Mind" by systematically expelling negative facts about TWI and VPW from one's thinking.

Financial needs (staff salaries) - 2 usages (yours and theirs) 1) "all YOUR financial needs will be met" translation: You will earn $1.75 an hour . Basic premise - if you can't afford it then you don't need it. 2) The BOT's financial needs - their humble status as servants requires they live like kings so proper glory is rendered unto God. By definition their needs and wants are always parallel therefore they always receive abundantly.

"attention to detail" -- an intensely focused methodology used to investigate, uncover and confront any sign of substandard adherence to present truth policies. Can be used with the field-tested and approved (and highly successful) "genuine spiritual suspicion" technique of smoking out transgressors from the genuine household of God.

The correct and proper reading of John 10:10 literally according to usage in light of present truth is...

The Adversary comes to play havoc with your schedule but I have come that you may be micromanaged by your corps overseers and that more than abundantly.

Fountain of Living Waters - a grave marker.

Resurrection Sunday - Easter but twi can't simply call it that 'cause everybody else does.

Corps Spouse, a man or woman who was considered "outside the household" managed to, with the help of the adversary, "Steal" away one of the "chosen ones".

Gift, A monetary or purchased item given from the heart.

Later leaders would "hint" during fellowship or meetings in not so subtle term what they wanted, or Branch leaders would "let on" what The Man of Gods need and it would be a "measure of your spirituality" on how YOU gave.

Gunnison, An Indian term for "Cold as Hell and no one dares to Escape"

Colorado, Indian term for "Geek Leaders"

Dropped From Active Corps, A term used by Pharaoh regarding Moses, i,e, Get them G@# D%#mn frogs of my face and drop Moses from active corps!

Sunday Hook-up:

A meeting (usually set for mid-day to mess up a whole Sunday) where a group of people dress up in "Best Dress", (Mandatory suits and ties, dresses and heels) to sit in a extremely hot small room (because God dictated the temperature), to listen to a bad phone connection with bad speakers for a minimum of two hours. This event consisted of trying to listen to songs, imagining what was going on thousands of miles away, and jumping up and down and clapping as people supposedly came and left a stage in a field in Ohio. This usually contained an hour of "The greatest teaching on the face of the earth". Afterwards sometimes followed by another "short" expository telling us what we just heard. For this privilege people got to give not only 15% of their income, but extra money to help defray the cost of the AC's phone bill.

"Move The Word" - Never really defined, but used by leaders to manipulate, control and condemn, i.e. "Your aren't Moving The Word" or "The Word isn't Moving in this branch because of You."

Leaders who were successful in getting others to "Move the Word" were lauded and rewarded with higher positions where they could get other leaders to get other people to "Move the Word."

TWI I and TWI II

A distinction made between the 2 major TWI epochs. TWI I was ruled over by an autocratic, self-appointed mouthpiece for God who claimed exclusive insight into the Bible and the workings of God?s mind. The other epoch (TWI II) was ruled over by an autocratic, self-appointed mouthpiece for God who claimed exclusive insight into the Bible and the workings of God?s mind.

I've only ran into one annoyance - so far...

When you post a reply, or do a general post, a box comes up EVERY TIME and thanks you for contributing to the forum.

Is that really necessary Paw?

We know you're greatful, in fact, I'm greatful that you're doing this, but a "thank you" after every post will likely get tired after a while.

More test results to follow...

My 2 cents...

Actually, I kinda like it. At least it is comforting to know that the post didn't go into never-never cyber-land. I know I'm not alone in stating that too many posts totally disappeared off the EZboard...never to be found again!
