What we should have "gotten right the first time" was recognize that we were being scammed. Woe unto those who haven't learned from the experience.

Hey- I just figured something out. When vpw supposedly learned to speak in tongues from JE Stiles (when he learned to fake the whole thing), it took him HOURS. Stiles was baffled as to why it was taking so long when he normally got quick results. Looking back, it's obvious why it took hours. vpw's life was full of PERFORMANCE. When he learned to do something of God, he learned to FAKE something of God. He learned to preach by learning to imitate legitimate preachers. He learned to plagiarize the work of others with a preacher's delivery (which he faked) so it looked legit- legit material with the FACADE, the APPEARANCE, of legitimate preaching. When Stiles tried to work with vpw, vpw was studying how to FAKE everything- gestures, what the syllables sounded like, the intonations, and so on. It took Stiles hours because it took that long for vpw to figure out how to ape him and imitate him in detail. We all know he always recited the same handful of syllables when he supposedly demonstrated SIT- "Lo SHON ta ma la ka SI to la SHON ta." That seems to have been his entire SIT vocabulary.

4.7K???? Maybe some of those are bots or some such.

Seldom do I venture over into the Memoriam Thread......but I did today and saw that DMiller had passed away. Age 68 (too young). And further, there was only 1 reply to this announcement....to a guy who'd posted on this site 12,421 times. ~~~~~~~~~ So, in light of that.....I just wanted to say.... Thank you, posters..... for sharing your stories, interests and viewpoints here at GreaseSpot. Those who posted years ago, thank you!! Sometimes, I venture back into pages 140-185 to re-read some of those fascinating threads and debates. Certain posters that I knew in person.... I found/find it interesting to learn things from their area and viewpoint. What happened? Why people stayed? Why people left? Why people went back.....then left again? As some posters have shared thru the years......we view those that leave GSC as "success stories." This is a place of support, help, concern and forgiveness. Some accuse us of bitterness for confronting wierwille's twi with their deception, fraud and sins.....but, in truth, it is WE who are standing firm on truth, values and dignity. But for twi-leadership, past and present, that extended forgiveness must first be accompanied with godly sorrow to repentance....before forgiveness grants one a refreshing confidence (II Cor. 7:8-16). So, until Paw wants to close shop here or pass the responsibilities onto someone else.....looks like the 'Spot will continue to support the weary of heart. So, faithful posters.....thanks!! If I drop off the radar and you read my obituary in the near future (hopefully, years from now)......I just wanted to cover my thanksgiving bases and let you know I appreciate all your support. And, if it's not too much trouble.....maybe a few of you guys could get a quartet together and sing at my funeral. Thanks. .

But Way Productions is really humming along superbly! First rate entertainement (soooo painful to watch them onstage) with the women's midwestern hair salon hairdo's.....50 years with the same hairdos!! You can't add more starch to their acts. Gawd....

Hey, they even have a "Contact Us" form on one of their pages. Almost worth giving it a try (with false information and a temp email address) to see what the outcomes might be.

Wow that sounds like the makings of a SNL skit, Just Thinking.. Yeah the way they’re slow to adopt certain modern things they’re almost Amish-esque in some ways …as they hobble along in the 21st century I’ve noticed they still have to rely on some archaic strategies – like classes and advances being held in abeyance due to the pandemic - see their website TWI's event schedule changes due to the pandemic
