  1. Thank you bagpipes. Yes I'm too very thankful for GSC. Its given me the boost that I needed. Bigger and more loving, energetic, electric, than any Energy Drink, coffee, or sugar drink ever could. I was sooo happy when I got in the Word in 1982 and sooo happy when I left Twi in 2002. God loves us so much. I'm getting back to the man I've always wanted to be. What has happened to LCM; ruined his family, publicly disgraced. He deserved all of it. I just want to help others like that one special person helped me at one time.

    Just some thoughts....

    Lori, I'min your same boat. I litterilly felt a boost of eneragy when I started, almost imediatelly on GPC. I believe its the love of God, thats mannifested. I'm very happy for you Lori.
  3. Nato, I laughed too. My theme 4 the WD was Ephesians 4:15, "Speaking the Truth in Love". Well we could have did that if the Top Brass from twi would have left us alone. Organized, committed, Obey, hah. If u were in the way in 2001, u could handle yourself. I've nev'er been in the Marine Corps. But that's how I perceived twi then. It was a month after 911 when I went WD. Our whole country was wandering whats going on. That was our topic 2 discuss with people. I forget the specific preplanned topic we were to bring up. But it was about the bombing and, we wanted to get people to tell us how they felt. The top Brass at twi thought people around the area were afraid, because of the bombing. Duh, everybody was. :blink: The top brass was afraid too. That's why us 8 WDs went Way Disciple at headquarters. They were afraid something might happen to us when we were out there witnessing. I remember When we 1st all arrived at headquarters, all us WDs were their in the lobby outside the dining room. We was all hanging out waiting on our next instruction. Then Rivenbark comes in our presence. OOhh, holy ground. The four Apprentice Corpoops in our WD group started getting antsy. I don't know how it happened but their was sort of a circle formed around Rivenbark. We were just chatting. I guess I took it personally that they had us 8 go WD around headquarters because the Top Brass of twi was afraid something might happen to us Little WDs out there witnessing. In front of the whole group I told Rivenbark that I was"t afraid to go witnessing. Nobody said anything. Rivenbark was looking at me and didn't say anything. They probably did say something, I just don't remember. But I remember Rivenbarks face was red as a beet. :red-face:
  4. Sorry, guys I'll try to do better with my line spacing. Figured it out all by my lonesome. I bet that makes everybody happy. Especially WordWolf. Belle, I think my ink is getting week. I'd better get some. So, I'll do your reply again. I always enjoy looking at your picture when u do a post. I started looking through the "Find old friends area". ;) I'm off to a very good start. I've already found one and they responded back. Continuing on. We stopped door 2 door when it got 2 dark 2 see. We got stopped by the cops in St. Marys one time. It was just us 4 guys going door 2 door in our immediate neighborhood. The Cops just wanted 2 know what we were doing. Least we didn't half 2 weir matching black suits, black ties, and white shirts. I'll be here Belle. Not as much when I get my Full time job. I'm currently looking 4 one that has a decent pay. See ya Southern Belle.

    17th Corps

    Howdy, this is Abe. My other name is Randy Quast. I was in the 17th in Emporia till early Spring. But stayed in twi till I got the boot as a Way Disciple in early spring of 2002 and finally got out.
  6. I always wanted to post this. It took me 4 yrs 2 do it. HAH I've had my nice PC for 2 1/2 years and just started using it. HAH Safari, I think Jesus Christ got demoted at headquarters. Grand-Daughter, If they had any money to invest they probably would. I'm pretty sure their r a few human examples still at HQ. Hiway29, both groups lived n St. Marys. That's where we did most of our witnessing. Did a little n New Breman. Did a apartment complex n Dayton. There was a apartment complex, I forget what city, but we always went to at night. Yep, ur right Hiway, everybody n those smaller towns new about The Way. They still don't want 2 have anything to do with them. I know what ur sayin Hiway. I was n the way 19 yrs. I saw that first hand. Twi will ill emanate all invitations to God to inspire. Aw, Rascal. Is Yoda male or female? Nope, not treated badly. A lot of good people n St. Marys. Guess there not mad at the way anymore. Yep, legislated all the joy out of the program. I saw that first hand. Its no secret what attracted me when I first got in was 2 or 3 good-look en-girls at my 1st Twig. It was in the early summer of 1982. No, Rascal, we were not held responsible for our poor results. It was totally the opposite. The whole 6 mos. TWI publicly praised us. The ultimate was to get all 8 of us WDs on the front page of The Way Magazine. Thank God it didn't make my head swell. I'll fax u the picture if u want. [/color] WordWolf, thank u. I'm all 4 2 help each individual to understand me. You made it easier reading for some and I thank you. I read what u wrote and every single point u got right of what I wrote. (Boy, I screwed that sentence up didn't I?) ha ha ha Thank u Likeaneagle. I'm always asking someone, "Did u under stand that?" I know WW can help me. Hes already proved that. Belle, I always enjoy looking at ur Belle picture. I started looking through the, "find old friends in the Forum section. Thanks 4 ur offer 2 help me find old friends. We stopped door 2 door after it got 2 dark 2 see very good. We got stopped by the Cops one time. When it was just us 4 guys going door 2 door. When the program 1st started. The Cops just wanted 2 know what we were doing. Four guys going door 2 door in the neighborhood. Least we didn't have 2 weir matching black suits, black ties and white shirts. I"ll b here Belle. Not as much when I get a full time job. Right now I have, (ooh, I bet WW liked that "have" word), a part time job. Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
  7. Yea! Paula. Boo 4 Jim Thank U Love. Its really nice to hear Pauls left twi. Sure hope shes movin on with her life n her own special way. Seems like Paula wanted to support Jim, but had enough of twi. I saw them at headquarters, when they were still together, and became Leadership . But, while I was a "Way Disciple" at headquarters everyone there was told to don't bother the WD, there busy. :wacko:
  8. :( Aut O, were n trouble now. :B)
  9. I was a Way Disciple in the fall of 2001 to the spring of 2002. But I got the boot just before the 6 mo. program finished. They really hated to boot me out because I was a Way Disciple at Headquarters. Ha Ha Ha Our group of 8, 4 men and 4 women, "witnessed", to over 1000 people. (had to keep track) Not one, yes not one wanted our fellowship. On top of that 4 out of the 8 were apprentice Corpoops. One got demoted to a regular Way Disciple, then it became 3. At Headguarters, where we worked 40 hrs a week, for 7.00hr, they continually during the 6mos. complimented us at Sunday Night Service, meal times, and any other PR thing at how successful we were. I was the exception. ha ha ha Anyway, to answer your questions. The Way Disciple Objectives I remember. Life Style & Strategy I remember. I know we were on a strick schedule. I remember I got food poisoning and enjoyed the time off. Except for being sicker than a dog the 1st morning. They couldn't wait to get me back on schedule. I remember the check list before going in. Everything from those things, Objectives, Lifestyle & Strategy's, and check list were carried out to the T. Absolutely every item and every instruction. Had to be carried out. It was the disciplined lifestyle of a Way Disciple. Always under the supervision of our Coordinator that lived with us! He was a good man. Twi leaders corrupted him. He was apprentice Corpoops. I remember the Monthly household worksheet. The two Coordinators,(two households, one for the guys and one for the girls. The two groups lived at separate locations. (shuckie darn) I don't remember the rest of the sheets. The Coordinators probably did those. Each person kept 3x5 cards on each individual we "witnessed" to. So we would divide up the "witnessed to people" on our cards. Planned follow up calls was one of the schedule things we did. Always did everything together. Except sleep, takes showers, and you know the other thing. Very tiring and a complete failure of holding forth the word. I was very happy to get out of there. We had weekly meetings to pick one topic from a list we had to bring up in our conversations when we went witnessing. Aw, lots of stories to tell. I'll be happy to answer any questions. On the lighter side. Us 4 guys had a blast door to door witnessing the 1st couple of weeks. It was just a month after 911 and we were out there pounding the pavement, walking the neighborhood, door to door witnessing. HAH, I LOVED IT. Then we had to Get on the schedule. We had to say it a certain way. All the "witnessing" was planned out a week in advance. Bet that came down from the top brass of Twi. Guess us guys were having to much fun.
  10. I'm glad to know there still n Tenn. I'd like 2 talk 2 that BOY!
  11. Jim & Paula McLaren. I new them in the 17th Cor-poops. They sure were a sweet couple then. Paula called Jim, "jimbob". I dont know where there at or doing. Except 4 what Nottawafer said. If u here anything, i'd like 2 know what there up 2, 2fortheroad. :D
  12. I know Gilbert & Yvette. I was in the 17th Cor-poops 4 awhile with them. We did guy things a lot. Like whats-uuuuuuuuuuup!, I always thought Gilbert was cool. Hope twi didn't suck that out of him. I don't know what there doing, like Nottawafer said, now. Let me know ca dreams if u find out anything.
  13. Hears my thoughts. Many many thoughts & emotions. I thank God every day (figuratively speaking) for the freedom to speak my mind. Because we live in a free-to-speak-your-mind-country and I left twi. If nobody would talk about what they know about other people, especially a %%%person, we would be a bunch of dummies. I know 1 thing for sure, Mr. Pat man better watch out hes got a Mother that fight-en mad. I wish a bunch of guys could just go and beat up Mr. Pat man. That's how we used 2 take care of the bad ones 50 years ago. As 4 the splinter groups, what ever floats your boat,turns your crank, blows your horn, or toots your whistle if you r timid. I've never been to any other group since I left twi 4 yrs ago. It seems like its been 8 or 10 yrs, I've did so much
