  1. One of the interesting things to reflect on about the collaterals is that many of the chapters were put together from Sunday service notes from VPs sermons. Teachings were summarized and written in a chapter format. So basically doctrine for TWI has devolved from individuals researching the Bible to a "cargo cult" like following of VP's teachings from the freewheeling 60s and early 70s. Oh, and not the mainstream class ones, but the secondary teachings, because PFAL was re-taught twice. It is kind of ironic to note that in all likelihood the entire basis for re-regurgitation that the ministry survives on currently are several teachings which probably represent less than 7 days of VP's effort in research. I mean most of the children's Sunday School level material in the blue book is that way. Like one example - "How to Avoid Being a Failure". This chapter basically consists of plagiarizing one of KC Pillai's oriental customs teachings on 10 pieces of silver, and a poem probably lifted from anonymous. I mean this really represents the dumbing down of Christianity. Quite a contrast from Jesus sitting with all the elders discussing the scrolls as a youth.

  2. I've consulted with the mods (no I haven't). Well, with all the mods who check in regularly (which means me and pretty much no one else). The ban stays. No politics.
