  1. And in doing so, he was violating his own "To Whom it is Written" rule.

  2. I’m a retired primary grade teacher, so your use of a quiz is perfect, and the specific pop quiz you gave, I find to be very helpful. After I read your reply, the verse “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” came to mind. I mean, that’s perfectly clear, right? Since God is the source (imho), I don’t have a problem with this. However, when VP quoted it, you knew he was stressing not the knowledge of God, but the ACCURACY of this knowledge. So going back to your pop quiz, my answer to #1 is no. When the source is VP/TWI, I learned long ago from their handling of the Word on tithing that they were not trustworthy on that subject. Therefore, I have to remember that anything else he/TWI said cannot be blindly and naively taken as truth. My answer to #2 is TWI with VP sitting at the top. By adding “accurate” to describe “knowledge,” he is basically directing us back to everything he/TWI teaches (AKA his opinions and definitions) because he was the one God chose to teach the accuracy of God's Word as it hadn't been known since the first century. It's funny how question #2 always brings us back to question #!. So I did get 100% on the quiz, so now I’ll go and put a “Good Work” sticker on my forehead. Seriously though, thanks for your help.

  3. Boy oh boy they are uttely destitute when it comes to marriage counselling. The clergy who officiated my first marriage set a booby trap during counselling that likely proved to be the end of that marriage. During counselling, and there were numerous sessions, we were asked to tell the other what would be grounds for divorce in the marriage. I came from a long line of alcoholics so of couse being under pressure she said alcoholism. Well....Im a recovering alcoholic at this point and when I went off the deep end with my drinking some years back it was a real easy progression to divorce from there. Who in their right mind would ask an engaged couple to tell the other what would be grounds for divorce? I dont blame TWI or clergy for my marriage ending...it's largely my fault and I have made amends the best I am able. What I am saying if the concept hadn't been introduced at all we would have had a better chance of staying married through it all.

  4. The Ways shenanigans and anti Christ operation has broken up more Christian marriages than I have actually seen any other place. The only “more harmony in the home” you see in Der Vey is the woman walking 10 steps behind the man in obedience and subjugation. Ladies here’s your chance! You can live the Word of der vey at home. Or take a similar risk and go out on an ambassador program to Saudi Arabia. Really move the word there lol. I mean there are real examples of affairs causing suicides. Yes in residence these idiots were much more onerous. When I think about what they were doing behind the scenes at the time they were controlling us with respect to marriage and dating it makes me sick to my stomach. Yes if the Way never spoke again publicly on Christian family marriage and sex it would still be too soon. Their witness in that area stinks to high heaven.

  6. Yeah, I’m aware of that…I also know a charitable organization - and it varies - according to federal and state laws can be defined as a nonprofit organization that seeks to advance some public benefit – in a broad range of areas such as education, poverty alleviation, scientific research, environment, diversity, religion, and health…I guess on paper it looks like TWI is a charitable organization…just like Scientology...I just think TWI is not interested in advancing any public benefit - just filling their own pockets.

  7. T-Bone, the reason it was called a donation was to get around tax laws. If they called it a payment then they'd have to charge sales tax and the funds collected would be taxed.
