So much devil spirit, so little God.

I was trying to light-hearted is all.

It is true we need not mention hope. But on the other hand, why not?

Intellectual inbreeding I've heard is when a university hires the same people they trained.

It took a while of piecing things together before I saw TWI as anti Christ. I never even considered a fundamentalist Biblical research, teaching and fellowship ministry built around the study of scripture could actually be against Christs purposes. But Christs purpose in the Bible is to have all His followers united together figuratively working together like the human body does. And this is not possible with elitist fundamentalist cults. The elitist attitude and false doctrines practically prevent them from fellowshipping fully with other Christians or working with other Christians organizations. Rather it leads to isolation like Twinkys former Way friends who died seeking healing in an offshoot.

I guess this is another reason you will never see a high level leader in TWI darken the doors of GSC. So many potential lawsuits over admitting anything was wrong. How many scorched earth scenarios do you think these clowns are going to have to go through at the bema in front of our Lord Jesus Christ? So, VP, Craig, RR, John Rupp, Vern, what happened in this replay we are watching here? Do you think the shame of loss in the next life will affect them like it hasn’t in this one? The new generation voted out the old generation then immediately feels not responsible for the sins of those they voted out. So more whitewash, and another incremental numeral in front of the Way - 1,2,3,4 More lies and coverups. And the same trail of destruction in the lives of the people, some of whom hang around ashamed and broken begging for a scrap of attention. This is why the Bible teaches that you can’t put new wine in and old wineskin. But that verse is ignored along with so many other teachings of Jesus due to the hyper focus on Paul and some Batdad charts. Not to mention the entitlement and self preservation.

Answer: lockbox. Mike said: In addition to how Twinky addressed these two paragraphs, I will add that you may have a desire to do so, but you don't learn how to be a historian by washing windows. Your writing skills are atrocious. Your interviewing skills? Well, from reading your screed for so long, I surmise that you have no idea how to get anyone to open up and share meaningful, relevant insight. IOW, there's NFW you could accomplish this. People with journalistic background HAVE written histories of TWI. People with good writing skills HAVE written their twi experience stories. However, IF you were to use your self-lauded academic contacts (meaning YOU have lauded your ability to connect with highly educated individuals in science) to connect with historians with an interest in cults... or if you prefer, interest in out-of-the-mainstream Christian fundamentalist sects, you MIGHT be able to collaborate with one or more of them who actually COULD do a serious academic write up on twi's history. They MIGHT have skills that could convince the twi directors to sanction such an effort. But the realistic likelihood those directors would allow it for anything other than hagiography is somewhere between slim and none.

Mike. Get this clear. I hate no-one. I hate ABUSE. Agape thinks no evil? Right. Agape calls evil out!! And I'm calling out the abuse that occurred and likely still occurs. That's not hate, that's love. Hate wants to cover the evil. Excuse it. Minimise it. Pretend it's "spiritual adultery" that matters (or some such rot). "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isa. 5:20.)

Hahahaha! That is just never going to happen. GSC exists, as you are well aware, to tell "the other side" of the story. The greed, the abuse. The lies and theft. The adultery and rape. The "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. Whereas TWI purports to be whiter than white and refuses to acknowledge sins of the past, sins of the present, and likely sins of the future. Sins of the present and future, you say? Well, for one thing: what about the continuing division they foster - refusing to acknowledge "mainstream" Christians as even being Christians? And selfishly hoarding all to themselves and never giving back to their community? And - Mike - you can't even see "the other side." You think everything's exaggerated. So how can you possibly write a balanced view? By the way, have you finished reading "the other side" as set out in Charlene's book yet?

Strawman. But if you insist we shift in that direction, It's really not about people making more money. It's about people giving more money to the organization. You really want make to make more money? Send me $20 and I'll tell you how.

Correct! But a Christian organization that is all about material abundance is not a Christian orginazation at all because that's not what Christianity is about and its shameful to even attach Christ name to any organization that calls themselves Christian but preaches the damnable prosperity gospel. You can go make all the money you want in life and you can even do that as a Christian, but that's not the essence of Christianity.

Got it - Facebook. No mention of twi so that's a good sign. They look happy and his pictures are beautiful.
