Yep....they are reaching back when the deception worked in vic's day. Back when..... there was NO INTERNET Back when..... twi could CONTROL the messaging and revised history Back when..... vic praised his Ohio-frumpy adult enablers with crazy hyperbole Back when..... wierwille and howard could sexually abuse any girl "in the kingdom" Back when..... youth "leaders" idolized the cult leader and drank his kool-aide Back when..... elena whites!de wrote a fabricated utopia of "The Way: Living in Love" Those were the days, my friend. LOL

It's pretty hard to step on a cat such that it will die. Can't imagine how that would happen innocently. Shot the kittens. Hmph. Real love of God's creation there. Kept the dog in a kennel. An anxious dog, at that. Perhaps that animal got shot too. If you really can't stand having an animal in the household, give it away to someone who will love and care for it. Don't abuse it. Grr! BecomingMe, if you can, get your own cat(s) and dog(s). They give so much unconditional love. And they ask so little of their owners. Having small animal pets is often where kids first learn to love.

Unless one goes beyond what vpw taught, one can't go beyond his insistence that one can't go beyond what one is taught!

And the twist on the copies of TWI in splinter fellowships is definitely tainted.

Anything VPW put together himself and "taught" - definitely. I wouldn't discount the original sources of the material he plagiarised. Some of those are probably very good. But the twist put on the copies taints the copies badly. In any event: 1 Th 5:21 (NASB) but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good which means, really check it out, think about it in detail, and how it fits with the rest of what you know about the subject and about the Bible in general. The reverse of "holding firmly to that which is good" is "abandon, discard, throw away that which is false or faulty." I think we do a lot of that, here at GSC.

Hey B good to see you I think the last time I did prob was in Founders Hall with you looking like you wanted to escape. I have thrown up some prayers over the years glad to see you doing well and recovering like I am too. I can relate to being in and out on this site I have done that a number of times here in the past 10 years for my own mental health. Glad you have your own family and are good. I don’t have a lot of questions about dad. I heard one of his tapes on Timothy and he is pretty much stuck in the past on an endless loop. Not surprising that counseling sessions didn’t take. Moms in the heart of the beast running the machine. That’s not changing either. Dads mind wasn’t fully formed in teenage years and early twenties. Like ours. So the machine changed all of us. We still deal with effects. I have a weird question. What was the dynamic towards pets in your household growing up? Curious lol. Be well and best to your family. I have a hound dog now I love a lot fyi.
