EXACTLY! In TWI we were expected to praise Wierwille and his damned class, NOT God or Jesus Christ! Thankfulness means "giving the credit where the credit is due." We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. In The Way International, the excellency of the power was of Wierwille's damned PFAL. Where does the slippery slope begin? When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful [they didn't give the credit to God]; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible Wierwille and his class [we gave the credit to PFAL]. Wherefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts...: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served Wierwille more than the Creator who is blessed forever. Praise God and not Wiewille?... or praise Wierwille and not God!?! I'll praise God and not Wierwille any day of the week, John... ANY day of the week! Love, Steve

Yeah.....the Greasespot discussion forums will do that for you. Thanks Paw. And, speaking of boundaries....what else was moved? 1) Plagairism.....wierwille is lauded for "putting it all together" 2) Acceptance of "The Word".....ie private interpretation 3) Elitism in "knowing this word" 4) Bullying and verbal arguments 5) Etc. etc The sex boundaries in wierwille's world are vivid red-flags that were flying overhead in twi, but the subleties of attitude and arrogance and manipulation and coercion were in play as well. Year after year, the corps bullying grew worse and worse. What you look at, you become.......and we were looking at WIERWILLE. Having johniam here in these discussions serves as a guidepost of HOW FAR BOUNDARIES WERE MOVED IN TWI.....thanks john. And, to see that posters challenge him on every front illustrates that we no longer are seduced by the cult.

The total TWI degradation was much more than any one of us individually experienced, and that's saying something, given the experiences some people have gone on record relating here. I am ashamed I ever had anything to do the old goat or his cult of ignorance. Love, Steve
