Yeah it didn’t move the GAF meter enough to remember . Thats the one. VP wanted those kids completely compliant so he could HUNT CLOSE to his home for sexual prey.

Thanks. I had to look up the “Marxist Minstrels” by David A. Noebel. Wow. It is fitting that the paranoid little charlatan would promote this book. A review found on Amazon… “So bad that it's good Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2009 Ah, the halcyon days when the Birch Society, the Christian Anti-Communist Crusdade, and the like had not yet metastisized into the later "Moral majority" form! This is the written equivalent of a combo of "Reefer Madness" and "Plan 9 From Outer Space"! Here, the subject is the well known Communo-Athiest conspiracy to morally subvert American youth through rock and roll. (What energy those commie preverts had! You'd have thought that their energy would have been sapped just trying to get American water supplies fluoridated.) The text is priceless. You'll read commentaries on perversities going back to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and other commies up to more recent moral degenerates like Dylan and the Beatles (the commentaries on the Beatles and their groupies alone justify acquisition). Probably, though, the most valuable part is the appendix that lists (in order of commiedom) the "most communistic" performers. (Yes, "Joannie Phony" is up there, but not #1.) It will serve as an invaluable buying guide for your acquisition of prime, quality, classic folk and rock.”

The name of the book was "HUNT CLOSE." (We've had threads on that one before.)

Yes 100 percent of the people with the condescending Holocaust comments were TWI - when I was in. The comments fit right in line with all the other condescension regarding “rightly dividing the Word” which TWI couldn’t do with a razor blade a right angle and step by step instructions. All straight from the head pilferer who rightly plagiarized the word of truth.

Ah heck, I recognise a few of those book titles now. There was also "Witness of the Stars" and "Manners & Customs [of the Bible?]" - can't remember the exact title. Though these might not fit in the question you asked: "whether non-biblical material was taught or discussed in (twig) fellowships," seeing as they could be called "Biblical material" to some extent. For sure, we were not talking about the latest thriller or historical or whatever else novel, or even interesting factual material. Not even how life might be lived in 1980s Israel/Palestine. Nothing secular. Not even current affairs of the day, with the twig leader giving some "spiritual insight" into what was going on. Nothing that might relate what those people 2,000, 3,000 or more years had going on in their lives, to what we might be facing today, except such gunk as was in the Way Rag. That can only be because HQ couldn't control the narrative, therefore squelched discussion of anything non-TWI related. Just a guess, it might have been acceptable to read the rules of netball basketball or some kind of manual to explain what a "hook shot" is. Or to study the rules of any other sport that the local head honcho enjoyed. (Craig would have liked that.)
