P.S. after the above 4 were let go, the new HFC and BC were company men............

I was one of those who was in during many of the corp being let go or "reassigned" and attended STS every Sunday and listened to LCM rant and rave about "cop-outs". I hadn't been attending regular fellowships for a couple of years and got back into it right when the last class of WAP was running for all grads. Otherwise I would have had to wait several months to take it. Nonetheless, it was a whole new TWI at that time. Very different. Yet some things in my life had led me to this point of going back in. Maybe I had to know for sure. All I know is this was during some really nasty times leading up to the lawsuits. FEAR kept me there. So for me, it was actually the present spewth of the ministry. And then we all crossed over into the Promised Land but everything wasn't hunky dory. But when my fellowship coordinators N*te and N*nc* Pill*bur* were asked to leave and then my branch coordinator Ro* How* and his wife were asked to leave, I knew something was very wrong. These people loved us and treated us with the utmost respect. Their commitment to God was amazing......This is when I knew something was wrong. It wasn't long before I was M&A for loving a family member, supposedly more than I loved God. And then I was raked over the TWI coals I am sure..................

I am thankful for all the wonderful people I met in the Way. I was 18 years old and was at rock bottom emotionally one night in my bedroom. I dropped to my knees at the open window and loked at the night sky with all the stars and asked God to make me whole. I told him simply that all I wanted was to be happy. I had seriously been considering suicide. That was my entire prayer. Within 24 hours I had been "witnessed to" by my neighbor who was about 10 years older than me. I loved the love and the fellowship. I remember how sweet it was and how "happy" it made me. It made me completely turn around. I wanted to live. So see it was the LOVE of God that saved me, his love manifested in people who truly loved and wanted to serve others. You would almost have to have that kind of mind set to endure the Way Corps. That is why today I respect alot of Way Corp, especially the ones I got a chance to be with. Many of them were quite wonderful. I interacted with a couple of bozos too, but generally speaking............. The LOVE of God hooked me before PFAL, and the class was just a part of what everybody did and talked about. It was the whole caught up in the moment thing. That is why when the years went by and they began to elevate MAN'S word over GOD'S word, I became very turned off. It was a blessing in some ways to be marked and avoided. I was always getting into trouble with my rebelliousness

But this isn't an ALL christian forum. Was never meant to be.

That's what I like about it pond..............no nametags here..............every one on a level playing field.............

And yet allan and pond you continue to come here and post and participate with us co-dependents with an attitude of better than thou................hmmmmm........must be something here you need also........to feel better than us.....what is your agenda then?

Dear Future Advanced Class Grads of 2007: This is a follow-up letter to the follow-up letter to the follow-up letter regarding your 17 month preparation for the up and coming advanced class. HQ has been inundated with requests from all of you out on the field regarding your snack choices. Due to the high volume of inquiries and the need to make sure things are done decently and in order, we have decided to add another Department here at HQ to handle these requests. From this day forth the present spewth on this topic will be: any questions or requests regarding your snack plans should be sent directly to your HFC (in writing of course) who will pass these on to your BC who will pass these on to your LC who will pass these on to the RC of your particular area. The RC will then pass these to the new Trustee of the Snack Services Department, headed by none other than John Hinder himself. This will be for the Western part of the country. For those of you who live in the East................ Good lord, I think I just lost my appetite...................

All I know is I can drive west on 25A 5-6 miles and I am in Anna. My doctor is there. The Honda plant is too.

Hey thanks for sharing that - gosh me, I'm pushing 50, can't hardly believe it....... but that would make sense then, you were raised on alot of early doctrine or VPW doctrine.......in your home fellowship by your parents.....hey thats cool........I got into the way in 1975 and out for good in 2000. I was just a year younger than you when I took the PFAL class. Now I am starting to sound old, better stop lol

Sidney Ohio here............lots of you are close. Bring it back to the top.

Hey ckmkeon - I see on your profile that you are only 19 years old........were your parent's in the ministry and/or have you been in the ministry most of your childhood? Really just curious. Seems you would have been more in the era of LCM than VPW - I believe he died the year you were born?

The pope on his worst day probably has done more for God than VPW did on his best day

We could have a lot of fun there. Me Bad......

I guess when they can't beat ya WW, they just resort to personal insults. I thought your information was laid out completely and "thoroughly" and made a lot of sense. And that back at ya last post was good.

You guys are cracking me up.

"In view of the dangers involved with trail mix, we have decided to "suggest" that all candidates bring pototoe chips to the class. We believe that the sound department can make any filtering adjustments neccessary to overcome the crunching noises we anticipate. " But do not, under any circumstances click all of your syllabus's closed or open at the same time. This shoud be done prior to the MOG or MOGETT entering the teaching area.

Anna Oh is 6 miles west of Sidney, down 25-A, not really a direct access to HQ, St Rt. 29 would be the way to go.....a good 15 minutes from Sidney.

Okay talking about twi and dreaming must have triggered a dream.......it's probably about the 4th time I have dreamt about the wife of my last fellowship coordinator...........the background setting is always different but she is in the dream and never says anything........she is like mechanically going around and doing things.......i am always thinking in the dream of what self control she has.......... There are some obvious reasonings to the dream..........but just thought if it reocurrs so much, does that mean I haven't gotten the meaning? lol hey you never know

Anna Ohio is six miles West of Sidney off of County Road 25-A, not really even in close proximity to New Knoxville. At least I would not go that way to get to New Knoxville. Take 29 now, that would get you there from Sidney.

it connected to oakspears - or because this is your topic am I only allowed to respond to you?

okay got it non-sequitur noun - 2. a statement as a response that does not follow logically from anything previously said well said Oakspear

go for it.............pretty soon you may have YOUR thread all to yourself i am still over at that merriam webster site looking up what non-sequiter means

Now you are trying to save us with bible verses. Very condescending. I might be wrong but that is how it strikes me.

Just to be accurate here, I never prayed to or in the name of VPW.............nor was I ever taught that...

What about the people who were sinned against last week, the week before, last year, 5 years ago, six years ago, today.................. I understand what you are trying to say to us, but I think you need to do what some other posters suggested. Visit around the forums a little bit, read what is written (that should ring a bell), check it out before you jump in head first and begin to judge us (which you are doing by the way) even though you are saying that only God can judge us. If you haven't perused the forums how can you possibly know what some of the people went through. And just because you did not experience it does not make their experience any less valid or mean THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. (emphasis here, not yelling.) If you read the bible and believe it holds the truth, then take off your Way blinders and listen to the heartfelt grievences that some have experienced and love with the love of God. God is big enough to redeem us if we need it, you don't have to save us from ourselves. Allow that burden to be lifted from your shoulders.
