  1. Digger, Thanks for speaking your truth. Very powerful, brother. Thanks for inviting us into to your reality. "A sorrow shared is 1/2 a sorrow. A joy shared is 2 joys". You have a right to be angry and I'm glad you are moving on. Namaste ;)-->
  2. Hey Dude, I gave up TWI's shame based teachings along time ago. Went through therapy to get my core self back as a result of the TWI's experiance. I personally would not subject myself to such petty mind duels. I don't recognize VPW's teachings as the truth, nor do I trust anyones "handeling" of the Bible. So if you want to dance, go find somone who will follow hook-line and sinker. If you are looking for debate, you have already lost, merly on self expression and judgement.Beside I think the folks that you are challanging here have "forgotten more then you'll ever know". But if you feel the need to satisfy a martyr complex, well stick around. :D-->
  3. Could they make one of Martha Steward even if she is not a terrorist? How about Donald Trump? I will pay big bucks to see the carton heads of Bernnie, (that purple monster) Dr. Laura, Howard Stern, Jerry Farewell, LCM, Jessie Helms, Rush Lumbaugh and VPW on a M-80 stick. Guess you can tell I'm not fond of some concervatives. OH Welllll.
  4. Hey dude, I didn't even need to do a toke from the ---- to see things. Got anymore dude? :D-->
  5. Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me. I don't care how different the message is. It is still the same message just updated and prettyfied. NO THANKS. I must say that John in the begining of the end of TWI 1 had some tapes circulated about the adulterous lifestyle of LCM and what was not accurate about PFAL. Those tape were very informative and exposed some TWI crap. What he has done since then, I know not.
  6. Zixar, Thanks for the info. Meewa ;)-->
  7. Galean, Thanks for taking on such a huge responcibilty. I work at a residential and believe me our goal for the kids, is placement in a foster home. One child was on his way to town to get a blood draw and ask the transport tech if he could stop at a church to pray for a family. One month later he asked his favorite staff why God was angry at him. She asked "Why do you think God is angry?" He replied, "Because I don't have a family yet." This child had been at the facility for 18 mos. and was 6 when he spoke his truth. He eventually was adopted and his personal sadness deminished. Galean, you and your wife are special. I understand your fustation. It's crappy when the State takes a child out of our facility and places in a group home or shelter because it is cheeper. The kids are placed right back into a horrible living situations and there is nothing anyone can do. The group homes on the reservations are gang controlled and abusive. So, for me ...I make each moment count when I am with them. GOOD BLESS YOU GALEAN! :)-->

    Anger management

    MJ412, I hope that what I said implied no anger at all is good.. I for one support the expressions of all emotions. If you feel them... you won't die. It's what you do with that energy that makes or breaks your serenity. For me my anger was delt with through a bottle. It almost cost me my life and the lives of others. So I am in favor of feeling what you feel. Lord knows I have/had the right to be angry, but that energy was killing me and I needed to find out what to do with it.
  9. Oilmedic, Huuummmm! Ckeer, Good observation. Food for thought.

    Anger management

    A friend once said to me "the best treat you can give yourself is to see a therapist." By experiance that is a true statment. A therapist can assit in resolving alot of anger,shame and fear. Who does't want to be their athentic selves. Anger,shame and fear are add-ons to who you really are and sometimes can be the dominate energy be hind your existance. So it's up to each individual to decide weither they want to live what they were born to be or what they have become.
  11. Not to sound ignorant but do men have the same problem as women when it comes to age and gravity. I mean --> I suspect the when wearing boxers thing just go south. But over time does this create a problem with the male species? Does this make what was a certain size at 21y/o a different reality at 60? And if this is true, doesn't a 60y/o have better bragging right than a 21y/o? Enquiring minds want to know. :D--> Paw if this is too questionable, by all means remove it.
  12. I like it right where it's at. But that is just my opinion. ;)-->
  13. MC, I noticed within the last week an insurgents of anger among many folks. I don't know all the reasons why and it is not my place to know. What I do know is how to protect my heart and keep my stuff contained. When it comes to matters of the heart there are a select few I have confided in. They know who they are. I am persuaded that they keep confidence and DO NOT take on my stuff. I have noticed in myself that when I am drawn into someone eles fight or issues, it put me in the middle of there amotional reaction of which I have no control over nor should have. I become a willing victum to the chaos. It appears you are upset and from reading prior post that there has been some misinformation taken to heart. Find out truly what the facts are. If after some time...you truly have decided to leave...you will be missed. NAMASTE, MC namaste.
  14. Xizer, Mister you put TWI in an analogy that really speaks. My God, Well done sir...Well done.
  15. Just saw CNN with the story.
  16. Not having read or heard the story yet, makes me want to hurt someone. Just what little I have read on this post infuriates me. AAAhhhhh!
  17. ROR, Congrats! I know it was a living survival accomplishment to graduate with any type of individuality in tact. I'm glad your out of TWI and have started a new life for yourself.
  18. Parsley, a,b,c,d,e,f,g, and more. All of the above. :D-->
  19. I work in a cottage that has 4 girls from different backgrounds.( Native American, Hispanic, very poor, overweight, thin and different abuses.) The cottage is really to small to house such girls. They get in eachothers space, overstep boundries and have very little privacy. It makes for a very dynamic day and evening. I bring this up to make a point. Each one of these girls are wonderful and have their own uniqueness. One on One they are well behaved but in that enviorment it seems the worst comes out. And boy does it come out. I find that individuals who are not given enough space and respect for who they are and what they believe, but rather are put in a box, can only retaliate. We at GS determine how big that box is. I think Paw has been very accepting of alot of stuff and when he does do somthing that we disagree with, I believe it is in the best intrest of all. I welcome fresh blood to the group weither they are ex-TWI or not. How else am I going to see things differently. How else am I going to get out of the box I have lived in for so long. When I bring my boxed up mind to GS, It is not right to expect others to live in my box. If folks are trying to make GS fit into there box well...Good Luck. With as many deversified opinions there are that will never happen. Thank God. :D--> GS is where it should be at this time and I'm glad it is not in a box.
  20. Long Gone. I respect your beliefs and you have a great way of communicating. I too have a unorthodox view of Jesus Christ and that is o.k. I would hope that all peoples opinion would be respected here otherwise we become what we so detest. Narrow minded and prejudical. Sounds like a cult I once belong to. With warm regards. Imbus
  21. Zixar...who? :D--> I haven't been in cyber world long enough to know what youall are talking about, let alone care who is negitive and who is not. Shell, right on. Who cares about the trivea BS anyway. What difference will it make in a year from now. No difference? Then what's the point? ;)-->
  22. Some folks live for chaos. I am one who doesn't. I like a good dialog but I refuse to debate. I guess if GS is not stimulating enough, the're other boards. I am very content with GS.
  23. Galean, Thanks for your post about your son. I'm sorry for all the fustration he has caused you. But inspite of it all, I'm sure you are the best lovers of his life. God Bless you real big. I work with kids that are like your son. There is so much going on inside of them and for good reason. What ever happened to him in his yonger years are being acted-out now. I'm glad you got help and are open to treatment for tis little guy. Hang in there. LOVE YOU. :D-->
  24. I went to a Bible collage before I got involved in TWI. Flodia Bible College (FBC), the President and Fonder was caught in adultry. He was a player with the student body.(literly) I remember time after time and week after week his Sunday sermons always came around to adultry. The "sin" of it and how immoral it was. When he was removed from his position, I thought how can somone teach on the "evils of that sin" and still live with themselves. A friend explain transference. She said what ever you want to hide in your life, that is what you speak vehemetly against. Like a smoke screen. I believe VPW was a clever and shrewed preditor. Her didn't have to "teach" against it. All he had to do is continually reinforce his position as MOG of the world. With that in place who would ever challange his behavior.
