If by the end of the intermediate class you were not 'fully functioning' many fellowship coordinators gave a time frame for the believer to 'grow up' and if not they were asked to leave until they got their $hit together.

So it came to this huh...

This is very dissapointing to say the least. It wasn't at all like that when I was in. I can't even concieve thinking that way. Well I wonder how many of those people just blew off The Way International for their assinine behavior. I certainly know how I would have responded. At the least twi cut themselves off from potential abs funding. Not to mention the much bigger picture of shepherding God's flock. Man these guys have gotten sooo off the mark. They have totally lost sight of a christian ministry. How people can stay involved and put up with this sort of behavior and treatment is beyond me. I sure hope they can overcome whatever is hindering them from 'wiping the dust from there feet' and moving on with real life. I can be done and done successfully.

Dot, We went straight to the cop shop to file a report. The cops went to their house to investigate and brought them into the station. We all began to talk. The converstions continued in the parking lot and were friendly in nature. I suppose as sort of a 'peace offering' they invited us over for a bit. So we followed them home where he showed us where he hid the gun. In a closet behind some boards that were loose. (it was an old house) We all laughed and sat down to listen to the album and talk. I don't remember them coming to twig tho.

I would have to say during my WOW year 77-78. Sorry kinda long...

My wow bro and I were sitting in my van in front of the house listing to some tunes. When down the street we saw a girl run out of her house with a guy chasing her. She struggled to get the car door open. The guy caught up with her as she got in. He tried to open the drivers door then began pounding on the car. He ran around to the other side of the car and got the passenger door open.

She bolted out of the car. He began to chase her. MWB and I locked eyes. I put the van in gear and we sped up the street. MWB jumped out of the van and persued the guy. I drove a little further up the street to catch up with the girl. I got out but she ducked between houses and got away. Man was she fast!

Got back into the van and turned it around. When I saw the guy standing in the street with a shotgun pointed at my WOW bro! MWB was on the right side of the street. So I stopped the van and opened the passenger door. Dumped the clutch and screeched to a stop between the two of them. The door swung open and MWB jumped in the van. I looked to my left and the guy was at my window with the shotgun in my face.

Funny but a 'strange' calm then fell over me. I pictured the gun firing but the pellets hitting all around the van but not on the drivers door. :D--> I began to talk to the guy. The moment his arm relaxed I dumped the clutch and turned right onto another street. We drove to the cop shop.

During the foot pursuit MWB took a hit to the chin. He tackled the guy but the guy got up and ran into his house where he got the shotgun.

Later, believe it or not, we were back at their house LOL. The guy showed us where he hid the gun. The cops didn't find it. The four of us sat there and listened to some Jerry Rafferty album. What a night! :D-->

LOL Hope with the scrolling marqee. :D-->

Since I began reading the board, I have seen the term 'Mike Thread' mentioned. However, I have not actually read one. This particular thread, being a mere announcement of 'Mike threads' to come, has sparked some energetic responses. Serve it up Mike. :D-->
