    Family 6

    yes I was in family 6th. It was great fun!
  2. You guys crack me up. If the person's name is Britt Moynihand? Then it couldn't be Bob Moynihan's kid. But this is great telephone...... if it is their child his name is Brian Moynihan. But there could be a Britt Moynihand and it would be a totally different person. I guess just have to wait and see.

    Seminary

    An old way grad runs that site and he is a good hearted guy just trying to spread God's word. No malice in his heart, also he is still in the processes of taking a seminary course to help him get a greater understanding. PS I live 45 min from Nashua
  4. PS...CM, thank you because of your questions I read through all of Phil this morning and it defentely completed my day!!!!!
  5. CM I think these are vaulable questions you are asking. Here is some of my perspective.... CM: Anyone remember how thrilling it was to see things in the scripture that they never saw before?........ I do remember and still have the same thrill when I go to the scriptures and God opens them up to me! Resently I watched the ROA 72 and what it brought back was we were priviledged to a moment in time that can never be replayed. CM:D-->oes everyone think those days are over with?..... Yes, as in moments in time as far as like births and life moments that specific moment like we had in that specific realm is over. But with God all things are new, and the thrill and excitment of new beginings never has to end. So it is a yes as far as the way it was, no as far as God can make all things exciting and new. CM:Just think if the Lord Himself was showing you the scriptures. Would your heart burn within you?........ Mine still does! When I take time with all the tools I did learn via the ministry I see amazing things and get tons of answers from God himself via the written and the spirit of God from within. Ours is a unquie time of Grace where we can walk in newness of life each and every day and see what God has in his heart for us! CM: Or would you think that it's just another scam... There is no scam with God! He is true it is man and his prejuices and old man nature that puts the slant on that stuff and it becomes a scam. But as it says... Phil 3:13-15 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you............God shall reveal even this unto YOU!!!! CM:It's saddening that I see so little interest in the truth anymore...noone even at least taking a look... I know many people still seeking the truth individually but we are now trying just to walk in newness of life in the realm of being in mid-life and living our lives and how can we be effective in the realms we live in now. CM: I suppose I understand a bit-so much abuse of people. So little love. Remember I was there too... You are God's best and with prayer God will open your heart to the scriptures and to people who are likeminded as you! I do not go to a fellowship, for I cannot not at this time in my life find one that is not religious and wants to live under the guise of a sudo leader. But my heart still burns with the scriptures. And I love my relationship with God today more than I ever did in The Way. I have no anomosity toward anyone, and am thankful I lived it and I went through the gamet to Way Corps and staff. but I would not give up good or bad times to have what I have with God today!! But it has taken much prayer and searching the scriptures. But it is worth the work. I pray you find the answers to your questions for your heart! God bless!
  6. My last year in residence Bob M had gone to Corps Coord. meeting. David Turk was left in charge I love him he was the best! Well one of the 10th corps guys fell asleep during aftermeeting on Sunday night. And when the meeting was over, everyone got up. But this guy kept sleeping Dave said lets all be quite so we don't disturb him. So we let him sleep. We even did chapel clean up around him. Near the end of cleaning up he woke up. It was funny!
  7. Dear Daryl, I have met many wonderful believers with whom I adore that have fought and some won, some struggled with the rest of their life with until their death with things in their closet. The challenge isn't in my judgment of you but of you learning to listen to God's heart. I think where we were way off in the ministry was that we said that homosexuality was the "lowest on the totem pole". I have seen people wrestle with drug, alcohol, bitterness, greed, and other challenges in this life that has been just as impacting on them and their love ones. What in my 50 years have seen is we all have skeletons in our closet. But our focus no matter what the skeleton is that we try to live as one that belongs to God. There are things I have seen in Romans that would explain why it seems as if you have been this way via "since before you had pubic hair". I just think the Christian world is to scared to take an honest look at it because it holds that we all could be way more susceptible to all vices that the world has to offer. This is your life and your heart and I pray you can no matter what you do sexually, hear the voice of God and walk by the spirit. I laugh when people are so quick to judge because if they only knew how many of their so called leaders in the Way and even today fall to the old man nature they would be shocked! But as Christians everyone wants to feel as if we have a special wall around them that is impermeable if we do the "right things" we wont be touched by those things that could distract us. But they forget that in Tim it says 2 Tim 3:12 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (KJV) The biggest error in the Way was taught that if we were getting persecuted we were not living Godly. I pray you find peace in your heart brother and listen to God's still small voice! And no matter what your challenge that you come across with you go to Him for I know he will answer you!!!! That's our God and FAther!
  8. Does anyone know anything about her?
  9. You can squabble about who was right and who was wrong all you want. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion. I for one have worked along side of JAL for four years and have seen sides of him that will never be spoken of again. But I think that he is doing a fine job with his mind set and that is his and his alone responsiblity with God. The way I see it and (I do not belong to anyone but God's heart) is people "leaders" put their own perspective what God works in them and says it is what God works in all of us. God works with each individual believer where he is at in life. He did in OT he does it in our grace time. But I never hear any of even the "ministers" that have left TWI and are in some sort of structure say.... "Hey, you got the spirit of God in you, it is Christ in you, God is your suffency you work it out". "you have the spirit of God you go to the scriptures God will teach you with your understanding where you are at in your life and what you need to do in your life". I at this point have not heard it from any former Way clergy that is still in some sort of structure. I approching the 50th year of life on this earth, one would only hope that by this time I would have developed some savey to have a realationship with the Father that would allow me to not get locked into a "right way to pistis". That I could put on my big boy pants and come up to the plate and God and I could hit one out of the park so to speak. Penticost changed everything!!! And even though we were taught that it is to whom it is written few still follow it. I have still not found one exclergy that will come up to the plate and say the epistles are the way to live the gospels are not addressed to us. The teachings want us to apply the gospels as if they were addressed to me. They want me to quote the old testement as if it was my way to live. Their hook is it is written. Well in TWI put it is written above God. It is a wonderful reference point and a great place to go and see what God thinks of a situation in the light of the adimistration to whom it was intended for and brought to light in that time. But God has given us a spirit to bring to light what we need to do in any given situation and to have the confidence to walk out on spirit of God working in us. I commended all these old clergy from the TWI who have left and are endevoring to bring to light the truth to God's people, I do think they limit themselves by sticking to a dogma of a structure where they make references to tapes and ideas of what God has worked in another individual within that persons understanding and then deem it that we should take it as THE WORD OF GOD. I love what I went through in the Way ministry. I am not ashamed that I was in it. I have been out of it since 1989 when I wouldn't take a corps assignment. I have worked on staff, gone WOW, been Corps, even got married in the corps weddings (how do you explain that one to people, LOL!) I have loved every minute of what I have gone through good and bad because it has given me the savey to be who I am today. I have been hurt, rejected, bad mouthed, but still I am so gloriously happy that I was a part of The Way, because I have met people who have been a wonderful part of my life since. They are my family as are all born again believers it is just when I meet some of any born again from Jehovah's, to old TWI's to Catholics, I find out how much of my heart I can give to them. If it is just a surface how you do,and will you pray about this for me, or I can open up my heart and we can enjoy the fruits of each others lives and our understand of how God works in us. But the wonderful thing of this whole demise of TWI was I got to be the person I have always desired to be with God. I have the tools to go and understand the bible, to pray for others and know it works, to pray perfectly and know that God will cover where I fall short, and to teach my children to go to God when they need help and he will answer. What more can one ask for in this wonderful life we live. And the freedom now to disagree and not feel as if I am sinning against God because it is God working in you with your understanding in your life with a check point of the bible so you do not go off in some weird doctrine so that I can walk each day close to God's heart!
  10. I think it was wonderful. Now I was at Indiana Campus in the family Corps. And those that say that the family Corps wasn't corps which we got a lot from the "regular" Corps are full of bull. Cause you had to laugh we had 5 minutes before a meeting we had to be in our seats and Emporia had 10minutes. Do you know the people who were always late? The regular corps, not the ones putting their kids to bed, or helping them with homework, or getting them off to evening fellowship, but the ones with no responsiblities saying we had it soooo easy. I do not regret one day of my life with the ministry or the Way Corps. It has given me the life and the husband and the children I have today. And I have met some wonderful people more wonderful than I could have imagine. And I have met some dispicable people even those who write on this website and act as if they are so righteous. Those were some of the dispicable people who didn't care about you or your heart but their own self gain. So I do not think it resides just with leadership I think we all had a part in it. Even me I know there were times I was egomaniac. But regret it NEVER!!! For life is to short to have regrets or be bitter or be resentful for it will just eat you up. But the Indiana campus was one of the sweetest places on earth that I have ever been. And the people I happened to be with at the time were the greatest people in the world! Even Bob Moynihan I loved him and Dottie thier honesty at the time was wonderful and true to family. Now as far as Emporia, I don't know because I can't say but my husband was there and he had his good times and hard times but they are his and he also doesn't regret a day of it. :D-->
