  1. As someone that spent the first seven years of my life in a shell (completely autistic), and as a twenty-nine year old with Asperger's Syndrome, I can tell you that although there will always be little challenges in behavior and language. We are quite capable of learning everything we need to know, and in many areas we can easily surpass others as we become adults. Sure we may be a little bit "picky" and "quirky" and lack certain social graces, But we figure out ways to work around everything,.. ANYTHING! In order to continue we constantly are forced to learn to overcome and push on -- we never give up! It is a lesson some people never learn. The Rod of correction though, will generally serve to push one such as I, back towards autism - but with a lot of love, we can become strongly stable in situations that would rock another's world to the core. We're rather feast or famine, and often brighter than your average bear.

  2. That one-way commitment thing is absolutely true in TWI. I have heard the phrase "The ministry owes us nothing, but we owe the ministry everything because they taught us the Word" many times. It's not a Biblical phrase, it's not an ethical phrase, even by the standards of VPW's high school paper introduction to ethics called "Lifestyle of a Believer". There VPW said "no man is the means to another man's end". Yet by this phrase, and TWI's actions in conjunction with this phrase, every man is a means to TWI's end or rather Rosie's end. What it is is more language of control. What happens is people make up these little catch phrases, then to look extremely spiritual, when in conversations, they will just pause, think for a moment, and spout out a phrase like that. It's simple, it's catchy, it appeals to noble motives of service. But it is absolutely counterfeit and doesn't line up to scriptures. They will even repeat it to one another saying "I remember when Rosalie taught us 'phrase'". They replace God's Word with man's word, or woman's word. They absolutely have changed "It Is Written" to "It Is Position". It is no longer chapter and verse in TWI, it is person and quote. They are respecters of persons.

  4. It's been rumored that Jimmy Hoffa is "in concretion". Does that mean he's a spirit?
