I'd say this defines what they [TWI] consider "fully informed". It's "need to know - and you don't".

Is that really how you see your fellow Christians, for whom Christ died?
As praying to an "oil-can"?
How about at least considering them mistaken in doctrine but attempting to
serve God and live love?

Is it that important to be "one who knows" that one can't even consider the
position of "one who cares"?
Jesus himself said his disciples would be recognized by their LOVE,
not their DOCTRINE.

One thing I always found amazing is the idea that God somehow has to talk to someone else about what is good for you without ever bothering to tell you the same thing.

What are the five steps the serpent used to deceive [fill in a name.]?
1. He questioned the integrity and accuracy of PFAL.
2.[fill in a name] responded to him, started participating by conversing and "reasoning".
3. [fill in a name] omitted a word.
If one word is omitted from PFAL, is it still the word of PFAL? No. it has become private interpretation. By omitting one word, [fill in the blank] no longer has the word of PFAL.
4. [fill in the blank] added a word.
When one adds to the word of PFAL, is it still the word of PFAL? Again, it becomes private interpretation. The moment a word is deleted or added, One no longer has the word of PFAL.
5. [fill in the blank] changed the word of PFAL.
This is the spiraling road downward. To this day, whenever Satan wants to attack men and women of PFAL, he always leads them to question the integrity of the word of PFAL and then change it so that the word of PFAL no longer exists.

Therefore I say unto you:
STAND!----Let nothing sway you from the word of PFAL.






(paraphrased from pages 253 and 254 of "The Orange Book".)

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

Thanks Waysider

Such clarity and so much truth . Thanks Bliss I know you said it a long time ago but it really made me rethink some of my own thoughts about God and the bible.

I think we all have our reference point (compass) that guides us through life. When removed from that reference point we sometimes lose our way.

This is what TWI did to people . IT removed your reference points so you lost your way!

What I don`t understand about those who venerate wierwille solely because they liked teachings that they have heard....is what in the world that they THINK a false prophet would SOUND like... a wolf in sheeps clothing would actually LOOK like.

They have to look and sound very very good in order to fool, to deceive.

Get real, what would they / VPW look like, huh, cartoon wolves in sheep's clothing? Slathering jaws under a sheepskin rug? Good point, Rascal.

Tzaia's take on the chair-stringing thread:



Perhaps it was all the focus on the trivial that kept people from seeing the big picture.

Bolshevik’s response in OldSkool’s thread entitled “How the hook is set - the broad strokes...”

Quote

Some people are naturally narcissistic pricks who don't want to change, but want to be seen as well-meaning, altruistic and rare individuals. twi is a place where people can change their image of themselves, without really doing anything internally. these types of folks weren't hooked, they found what they were looking for

TWI is like a sick family with a pedophile uncle. they punish the kids for talking about it and pretend the uncle is normal and tell everyone what a great family they have

I don't really think it was all that fundamentally different than selling vacuum cleaners.

We were selling something (PFAL) that sucked.

I'm still cracking up.

The "kinder, gentler" ministry is really just the same old organization with new facings and doors added to lend some aesthetics to the same old structure.
