In Way World, we were told that to be this way (harsh, confrontational, etc.) was being loving. They used this verse: Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself unless thou also be tempted. They took that term meekness and made it out to be "meekness to the word" instead of "gentleness" or "humility" as it is rendered in other version of the Bible other than the King James. Then they used this verse: I John 5:2 By this we know we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. So, to love the children of God, we have to keep his commandments - not actually LOVE them, not be NICE or CARING to them - NOOOOOOOO. WE DO THE WORD AND THAT IS ENOUGH AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TOO FRIGGIN' BAD. And then tie in the whole "be in control of your emotions" stuff and you have a really big mess on your hands. People in TWI changed Love (which God IS) into "DOING THE WORD" ™. We do the Word when we RESTORE each other when they are at fault by being meek to the WORD. It all gets screwed up from there. THIS is changing the truth of God into a lie and worshipping and serving the creation (The BIble) more than the Creator. 2 Peter 2:3 NIV In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Maybe it's a variation of Stockholm Syndrome.

Hmm. Let's seen, I'll say freedom from fear. After session one I felt liberated from fear. I was thrilled to learn that I didn't have to live with fear. I had a nice "glowing" feeling leaving the class. Then again, it could have been the acid I took the night before. The glow lasted, oh, about 10 minutes into the next day when I had to face my real life. I wanted my glow back, so I went into leadership and found that to be really scary. So I went into the Way Corps to learn how to handle the anxiety associated with leadership better. That turned out to be really really scary as I soon learned that every wrong thing that would ever go wrong in a branch, limb, or country, would be my fault :(
